Talk:Brutal Weapon

Combine with Barrage for pretty scary damage. Problem is keeping enchants off you. Kessel 11:00, 15 June 2006 (CDT)

Not as efficient as a Conjure Element, but it can't be removed. Interesting possibilities.Haakon 22:37, 25 December 2006 (CST)
 * Not as efficient, but the damage is armor-ignoring :D  --Carmine 01:57, 3 February 2007 (CST)

Jeez, I was about to say this would go well with spirit's strength, but then I read the enchantment rule. T_T

Bugged?
There is currently a bug with this skill (I think). If you combine it with a preperation when the preperation wears off it breaks Brutal weapon. Not only do you loose the bonus damage you don't gain any bonus damage when it's recast on you. I've filled in a "ticket" for it and I'll wait for a response before posting to the article itself. --JP 08:59, 24 October 2006 (CDT)

I have added details of the bug to the skill details. I have only been able to test casting BW on yourself so this may not hold true if another player casts it on you. --JP 02:59, 27 October 2006 (CDT)

Was playing around again with this today, it seems to be working now... However I wonder if it ever was really bugged.... it occurs to me that I keep getting Windborne speed cast on me in the testing area... was that the trouble all along? Whoops! Oh well! --JP

Update!
After the update, this is just amazing for B/P groups... Drop the Orders nec and add another B/P, have all the rangers R/Rt using this. Pow! Tain 17:59, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah...this seems REALLY strong, especially with IAS. Dual Shot with this, anyone? --LazySmuggler 19:14, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Yup, Dual Shot + Forked Arrow + Barrage = zomg pwnage damage. This skill hurts now, really gives Brutal its name! I expect it to get downtuned soon, either for duration or damage...I mean, the duration was practically doubled, and so was the damage. Craziness. And they did nothing to Splinter Weapon either. Heh heh. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 19:17, 5 April 2007 (CDT)

Cause possible hell with high dagger mastery + spammable attacks? Wyvern 22:47, 5 April 2007 (CDT)

I'm now using this in my ranger's general PvE build too...

Incredible damage, just... Brutal. I'm loving it. Tain 11:51, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

Ranges
I've changed the skill description to match the new one. And yes, it really hurts now. -- Bug 05:31, 6 April 2007 (CDT)
 * We use 0...12. --Fyren 05:49, 6 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Oh, I forgot to change the progress bar, my bad >.<-- Bug [[Image:Brown_stink_bug_adult_copy.png|19px]] 11:11, 6 April 2007 (CDT)
