Clerith Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yeah, it's great and looks amazing. Enjoy it before it gets nerfed in the 1.1 patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Eh? The patch is already there and the bug (double hits on every enemy) got removed. The rest stays the same. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kykuy Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I feel they went nuts with the nerf. Honestly, if its a freaking large two-hander, why it does so small damage? I think they should have made it so it works more akin to Carnage, dealing like 70-80% of normal 2H dmg to the original target, and 30-40% in the cone(which is also a friendly fire one), instead of making the dmg so small tis ridiculous. I didn't even bother to check when i got it because of the dmg being so small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaylon Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Eh? The patch is already there and the bug (double hits on every enemy) got removed. The rest stays the same. It was hitting twice only vs the main target. I don't know if it was a bug or not but if it stays like that it will become garbage vs single targets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) That's ok since it really seems to be made for fighting groups and is pretty good at it. 9 -15 isn't so great but the AoE pollaxe even has only 9-13.

Crucis Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 How and where do you get this sword? I realize that it's in two parts, but I don't recall every seeing the second part in my first play through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 The second part only appeared if you imported a PoE1-Savegame where you forged the Blade of the Endless Paths. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldurs_gate_2 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 The second part only appeared if you imported a PoE1-Savegame where you forged the Blade of the Endless Paths. Well, in the custom story, you have to select "not forged in the first game" or it won't appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 So now it only hits the target twice and the rest of the cone takes the low base damage?

dunehunter Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I like the new version of Whisper, it is more balanced with other 2h sword. Now the only issue is 2h weapons is weaker than dual wielding 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaColombo Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I like the new version of Whisper, it is more balanced with other 2h sword. You really feel that? I think literally every other 2H in the game is better than WotEP now. That puny damage really doesn't work against single-targets, which is what matters (melee guys aren't really crowd controllers.)

Boeroer Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 It's a weapon for crowds. It's easy to just switch to a good two hander for single targets and switch back to the WotEP once you face a mob. It also has a crushing lash that makes up for the low base dmg a bit. The base damage is really low though. Like a fast one-handed basically. It could do with a bit more.

The same character with BotEP likely out-DPS WotEP with ease. If you manage to hit two enemy with WotEP, it does almost same damage as other 2h swords. But the shining point is you can put affliction on anyone u hit. And with good mobility I’m able to hit 3 enemy usually. And the riposte is really good if u r a paladin/wizard who has high deflection. Riposte might not be so good after patch, I have to test it in the game now In my previous playthrough, I did a paladin/rogue build who heavily rely on escape and WotEP, with high INT I’m using escape like a mini version of Arcane Veil, and relocate myself to find as many enemy as possible to hit with the sword. If u wanna hit me? Sorry I have double riposte which can deal some serious damage. The damage is low at beginning but once I get Deep Wounds, it become very decent because my attack + riposte triggers a lot raw DoT ticks. Also that WotEP per encounter ability is really good for backstabbing try it and u will be surprised. So basically I have good AOE, and some optional single target burst damage without switching weapon. I hate to swap weapon without quick switch honestly, so sad only fighter can access to it :/ Edited June 2, 2018 by dunehunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlesticks Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yeah, from personal experience it feels like the WotEP still performs nicely. It's just a situational weapon now rather than the obvious best choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a poor balancing. The overall situation is very similar as with Unlabored Blade - instead of removing the cause, Obsidian remove the "symptoms" and call it balancing.

AndreaColombo Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Been running a quick test with BotEP.

AndreaColombo Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 What does it do now? It's an estoc with -15% recovery and +1 Accuracy every 6s that stacks up to 10 times. You can add an enchant that does +15% crit damage or one that applies a -4 Deflection debuff to the target for 45s and stacks up to 5 times. 1 "Time is not your enemy.
