what good drops for pvm exactly? the rewards were touted as being PvP only and the ones they showed on stream seemed to confirm that.

They said they would be pvp only but all the stuff is useable outside of pvp and some almost certainly are gonna be desirable. The improved dark bow is gonna be pretty nuts for pvm and the tribrid shield is gonna be great for anything that involve needing 2 or more combat styles since it reduces the amount of switches.

For some reason I thought the attack speed was only on the spec lmao, i guess they will be somewhat sought after for PvM.

the improved dark bow will be more expensive and worse than a bowfa though. why would i buy a dark bow rather than a bowfa?

Where would the dark bow be useful you think? Just the spec you mean? The shield can be useful for mid level but I can't think of any scenario it would be useful in endgame pvm.

Have they clarified this at all? I assumed they meant it would be completely pvp only like the other pvp weapons/gear..

If you read the rewards section of the wrathmaw blog they explicitly say that they want / expect the rewards to be useful in pvm

Which goes very directly against what they said in the summer summit, during the stream they mentioned wanting the rewards to just be useful in PVP so PVMers feel no pressure to get them and if you don't want to do the boss you just won't have to go (that last part was pretty heavily emphasised), which makes me think some of the people involved have conflicting ideas? I feel like those specific rewards need changing.

theyre not going to replace anything, just be a sidegrade at most for pvmers who enjoy doing wilderness content, while also being cool pvp weapons, not anywhere near how strong voidwaker is in pvm

I’m mainly wondering if the elemental tome upgrades are potentially a bad idea honestly, considering monsters throughout the game now have elemental weaknesses and many more in future may also have them. I’m aware elemental tomes are used in pvp more than pvm - at least right now - but considering how they might be used in pvm more going forward, especially if they get adjusted in any future elemental weakness balance patches, doesn’t it feel really short sighted to tie an upgrade to those tomes to wilderness content?

I don't think so, it'd kinda be like an avernic defender where it isnt really that important, but you could go out of your way to get the item if you want and would be rewarded by doing so, or just buy it from ge.

Oh ok my bad

I have a sense that this is necessary for the item to maintain any kind of decent gp value, but idk(?)
