I'd (Klax12: XII_two) like to take a vote on whether or not people would like to allow hybrid runewords. The prices have significantly reduced since they were reduced into the market and I feel that the original reason they were banned has been resolved.

I will edit this post to tally who votes what. You must post in this thread!

Thanks!

I can understand why people would NOT want hybrid weapons, the dmg modifiers from CB and OW% could be game changing coupled with the +400 dmg.

That being said I think hybrid armors specifically would be a neat idea. I don't want to theorycraft in thread to give away my secrets but... Fort of CoH has a ber in it for 8% dr. One could opt to use a ber in their helm or shield to hit the 50% DR cap and start to use rare OW belts. The 10% OW from belt could let people swap forts to Duress and swap dracs for rends along with a KS instead of a Grief. for 103% OW and 73% CB to build around dmg modifiers instead of titan hits.

This is what I was referring to in my original post on giving us more options in our builds. That is jsut one example....

This is the main reason I was driving for the changes. The rune changes in armors I feel aren't significant enough to merit a ban. Fort of stone has 1980 defesne, hardly any change to CtH%.

Thoughts?

I feel should not allot hybrids in the ladder my vote is no

No hybrids

well since 1 person said they didnt care either way this vote offically makes it 50% ppl vote no.

Case close, no Hybrids

Thanks for considering guys!

Doesn't look like bvb is ready for this...

I was gonna vote yes too.. I liked the idea of a change. We could have tested at least.

But yeh democracy has spoken!

for sure, maybe in the future we can re-evaluate, in the mean time someone needs to start making grief of beasts and SA fort of chains.

i tested and this is what it came in results

Reg griefz >> G.O.D
reg fort >> Fort of stone
Reg grief cb ...tied with G.O.D cb they both barely hit

LOL, results obviously flawed if grief CB was hitting less than griefz. Statistically Griefz and Grief CB hit the exact same. Also, assuming you are fighting a SA barb your chance to hit using a GOD is a 0.73% less (with block factored in) but you gain 25% OW- Which ticks for 59.52 dmg/ second at lvl 99.
