New Mob Reported: The Shadowed Man
Paul V
would mention that there is a new mob that roams the commonlands and
karanas...they are the Shadowed Men. They are a mid 20s mob and they
drop warrior only magic weapons.
Thought you would like to know.

can't buy a combine sword by level 16 something is wrong. I bought a
combine sword at level 16 when banded ran HORRIBLY expensive(40 plat for

and boots). What did I do? I hunted where there was loot to be had..
even rusty weapons are decent cash at that level. A couple nights in a

cash you need; bronze weapons and rawhide.. Honestly.. warrior only

ok, every class needs special stuff don't get me wrong.. but making a

matter of 15 seconds, and I never even saw what they looked like because
I was too busy fleeing.

According to Stratics they have stats worse than combine. So if you're a
real behind the curve Warrior who's L25 or so and doesn't have a combine
yet it might be all right, except for one slight problem. You need a
magic weapon to kill the Shadowed Men.
But then again, did we really need another Warrior only weapon?

Tailors can now craft gator and croc hides into armor for warriors only.
This armor will be impervious to piercing weapons, semi impervious to
slash weapons, impervious to fire and cold magic attacks and semi
impervious to ice and hail attacks. Blunt weapons will be the most
effective countermeasure.
Giant turtle shells can now be found and used for the Ogre and Troll
warrior has armor for the back. This armor is impervious to all back
attacks.
A new NPC is being introduced called Pega. After completing a quest,
the warrior class will be able to be transported anywhere, above ground,
in Norrath by way of this flying god. Two minutes of meditation is
required to summon Pega for transport. This will be a level 25 quest.

You forgot Bards. But then again, so does Verant so who can blame you?

Bards have _1_ unique item so far (not counting PoF stuff). A mistmoore
battle drum. Also, all the weapons Bards previously shared use with
Rogues on are now Rogue only.

Hell, the Shaman is (according to Verant) supposed to be a spear users.
Yet we still only have a choice of three weapons, a bronze main gauche for 3
damage and 22 delay, a Riptide Spear for a whopping 6 damage 33 delay and a
Bone Spear for similar.
Where the fuck is the Shaman piercing weapon that can actually be effective
in combat?
Bah!

quest...these weapons disappear when you log off (according to someone
who posted in this thread). Also, a couple of guildmembers went to
fight them and they said that the Shadowed Men are a tough fight. I'm
only level 22 so I haven't experienced them first hand.

magical abilities). They also share a few items with the rogue such as
the ability to actually wear the Guise of the Deceiver. The good thing
about Bards is that they can use a lot of things out there that isn't
single-class specific.
Monks also have few monk-only items i.e. Sash/headbands (which are
worthless in my opinion because you give up really nice items to get an
increasingly lower return on investment) and the Sytthrak vest. More
attention should be put on these other classes. The one disadvantage is
that they can't use as much of the items out there as the other
melee classes can.

And so can every other melee class, including warriors. Except, in
the case of some nice plate, every plate user _but_ the bard can
wear it (black enamaled breast plate). The only odd weapon that has
bard in the usage that other melee types can't use is the staff of
writhing, or as it's generally known, the ugly stick. Of course it takes
a huge whack out of your charisma, a very important stat, so you'd have
to be pretty odd to want to use it.

Yup. Other than the classy armor from PoF, monks are pretty limited in
cool stuff that makes you happy to be a monk. The serpentine bracers are
a great monk item, except they are all/all. Rangers as well are a bit
left out in the special weapon and armor department, having to fight
with every other plate class and shamans and rogues for a shot at
rubicite plate. Only the warrior can avoid that zoo and get crafted from
some interesting and not horribly difficult quests.
It seems as if the mass warrior protest and the fact that people were
abandoning their warrior characters in droves have caused Verant to
totally focus on new goodies to make warriors more interesting, to the
exclusion of much else when they add new items. Not that I begrudge
warriors the cool toys, I'd just like to see other classes get some too.
How hard would it be for them to come up with quests for rangers,
shamans, rogues and even bards for some crafted like armor. It would
certainly ease the rubicite camping nightmare that is cazic thule.
The quest isn't overly complex. You've got one npc to program to ask for
stuff and a few unique items to spread around various mobs in the game.
Maybe their problem is they're running out of new colors for armor. :)

I'd like to see some unique Druid only items, at less that PoF level. The Oaken
Scimitar doesn't count, because no one seems to have seen it since the Beta.

No, it's nothing like the Druid Scim choice.
A level 10 Druid will likely have at least a Fine Steel Scim available and
that's a hell of a lot better than a 3 damage 23 delay *heavy* Bronze Main
Gauche.
And the Druid's at least have a decent Scimitar to look forward to at the
end of the day. Shaman's get nothing past 6/29 and both the 6/29 and 6/33,
the *only* weapons other than the Main Gauche are from *very* rare spawns.

Yep but only three known weapons :-
Bronze Main Gauche (3/23) from Bronze drop critters (level 10 to 20 mobs).
Riptide Spear (6/33) rare spawn in Butcherblock Mountains.
Bone Spear (6/29) rare spawn in Lavastorm Mountains.
The Bone spear can have a limited effectiveness and with Alacrity is an OK
weapon but to be honest a shaman at high levels needs a War Maul, Observer
Staff or one of the really good 2h blunts to melee effectively.
