    The worst part of dwh is the accuracy. Elder maul is now a more accurate and more effective version Awesome
  • As soon as I read the blog today, my first thought was 'Let's wait for Lyfe's commentary on this'
  • Maul could use a little more, but even if they just settle on this buff it's a very nice change. Maybe up the accuracy more or on a miss it still reduces defense by a small threshold. A giant maul hitting next to you would still cause some kind of tremor it would fit pretty well. Maybe even just give it a minimum hit regardless.
  • @stevencash1609
    The only gripe I have about elder maul now is the fact that the spec gives no extra damage, warhammer spec has a higher max hit, the maul's spec also lacks an accuracy bonus. For a mega rare it seems to me that it should be more accurate on the spec and hit higher.
  • @Ls400-Lexus
    I think the elder maul update is a good start but its still a mega rare same as tbow/sythe/shadow/kodai which all have either special effects/damage bonus/best in slot for that style. its a basically a slightly better warhammer is all. Also only +17 better accuracy that hammer/d defender and +12 better than hammer/avernic and if you can never miss a hit what's the point compared to the hammer. Not sure what they could add but i feel like it needs what they propose+something else if its gonna be a mega rare item. It will be a spec only weapon like hammer is now plus this game is all about dps so buffing stats might not make sense because no one will use it after they spec but maybe they can think of some type of an effect.
  • @IvIiami
    When do these effects take place ?
  • @Shortdood
    the occult change makes my 20 def iron's Shadow go from 51 to 33% mage dmg :(
  • @dreamerdark0
    The fact they are trying to balance anything around Grand Exchange prices when they sell gold in the form of bonds is just a joke, wait for those to go up in price soon too
  • @darylsavage119
    The elder maul is 35% damage reduction, the dwh is 30% Elder maul is now better than dwh everywhere you use the dwh
  • useful specs for elder maul 1. 50% bar knock backs 2 tiles 2. 100% bar swings maul for 9 ticks doing dmg every 3 ticks in 3x3 tile 3. 75% bar unfreezes from binding/freeze spells.
  • @TheAutomedon
    I'm titled about the occult change, what a dumb rework it doesn't even make sense
  • @Baldingbry
    DWH drop rate increase…. yeaaaah gonna be a no from me…
  • @Jackle919
    For the d warhammer, please atleast make it a component for the new elder maul…. Otherwise, d warhammer becomes uselese and devalued. This is gonna screw over existing players that grinder/payed for it. Also, It sets a precedent that it’s okay to screw over ppl. This is one of the reasons rs3 went under as it started to feel pointless. Your expensive hard to get gear becomes useless and devalued. They had to fix it later with invention skill to break down older gear for upgrade parts. And they did it here too by making GWD armor as parts for newer armor. It’s an active known problem yet they forgot about it here for some reason. This isn’t a communist game. Some items deserves to be expensive and/or hard to get.
