Ben No.4 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 It always seemed to me that the chance to petrify an enemy was quite a powerful feat. Now it’s been some time, but I’m looking to get back into the game. I plan on playing a monk, and I noticed no builds toying around with the greenstone staff as the main weapon for a monk. Am I overestimating its power or overseeing something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Since it's a soulbound weapon it has the following shortcomings compared to unique weapons: - you can't enchant it with a lash (you lack that multiplicative dmg bonus) - you can't upgrade it to lengedary quality - it maxes out at superb - you can't refine it with Durgan Steel (which would make it faster which also is a multiplicative dmg bonus - also you would get ahigher crit chance and more crit dmg) Then it's a two handed weapon. There's nothing wrong with this per se but Monks really profit from dual wielding - if they use Torment's Reach for example. And finally 5% per attack roll is nothing to write home about. If you hit 10 times the chance to petrify the enemy with at least one of those attacks is still only ~40%. And the petrification doesn't even last that long.
