Original short desc: the Staff of Mishkal

Ok, was wondering if this weapon could have an affect put on it. It definately ranks up there with the harder weapons to get.

I am thinking since it is an evil weapon(notice anti-good flag). Something that affects one of the good races. Mental comes to mind as there are no mental affecting weapons atm. Lightning, negative. Made out of iron or something, that affects one of the good races.

Just a suggestion.

Or another idea, make it weapon type staff/spear. This would solve the problem of no high level decent damage spears. And it would make sense

And what does mental hurt?

And if it becomes made out of iron, then the damage drops, just like it did for ataraxia.

Titans vuln to mental.

[Ithilidin]

I thought that vuln was taken out due to the fact that it was useless.

That vuln was taken out, you're right. I think the change in ataraxia's damage was a conscious decision by syn, not a side effect of the material change (which is to gold, not iron btw).

[Ithilidin]

I know it was, but if the staff is going to be changed to iron, it needs a tone down. No way an Elf would be able to stand against one. Plus if it gains stats. As I see it, the ataraxia has the 120 mana, lower damage; the staff doesn't have anything and superior damage. I think it balances.

lol no way does it need a tone down. Mishkal sword is silver and 312 and i still have to deal with it. I get owned, but i have to deal with it all the same!

[Ithilidin]

I'm not saying drop it by half if turned iron. I am saying drop it down to where ataraxia's and mish swords are and up Elf hp to Drow :P.
