the staff doesnt have a wrapping and Dagger is Damage while enchanted and poison+33% -_-. What's wrong with Anet, really.

In this case we can use these items, and show em off even for years to come, because they have full damage!

Assassins have Maintained Enchantments. So that damage might aswell be +15% all the time -1 Energy Regen.

And Assassins can poison with dagger attacks, so those daggers fit well into Conditional Assassins.

everyone who keeps talking about trapper staves needs to open their eyes. the universal cast speed/recharge mods clearly state that they are for spells. last time that i checked, traps aren't spells.

Hello,

I've recently purchased a preorder of Guild Wars: Factions, and have added the Factions preorder access key to my account. However, there have been a few anomalies that I feel contribute to my not having the full benefit of this access:

-There are no special features mentioned in "manage access keys." I would assume that had my key been properly taken, the preorder items would be listed here.

-My preorder items DO appear, on newly created pvp or RP characters. HOWEVER, my current RP characters may not obtain the items. I have used /presale and /preorder in the cities of Lion's Arch and Ascalon with 2 free inventory slots and no success.

-My preorder insightful staff (ritualist item) does not give me the full benefit of its stats. I only gain 5 energy from equipping the item when I should be getting +15. Additionally, the staff's projectile is an arrow, and not a "darkness" projectile as indicated in the item's stats.

Thank you for any response that may help me fix these problems,

Lasareth

I was hoping for like a default item for certain chars, like that hog gluttony shield for the warr and those things for the new classes, but maybe I'm asking for too much

Not to mention that their stats seem useless and other than a diff look(and I have to say those don't look very flattering or attactive) they will just take up valuable slots for other items. Those daggers should've had a +5/+7 armor or +30hp. That rit staff is missing a suffix, safe to say that if thats all the preorder items, I'll probly not get it, not because I don't want to, I'd love to be able to play early, but having each char have 2 spaces taken up by these things in which you can't sell/drop or get rid of is mighty annoying. Its already tough having your 2nd set armor along w/ you, and diff sets of weapons, but having 2 extra weapons only usable by 2 diff classes simply make it very unappealing. How could they even have the face to give us such lousy preorder items after having been exposed to the japanese/korean preorders for chp1. Anets seriously needs to stop catering special attention to diff markets. US/EUR servers seem to be getting the shaft this time too.
