*Grotug bows before the God of Angband.*

I keep playing Ranger to get an insane launcher, but I only get good or very good launchers, but no broken launchers. That Mace is the absolute dream. Like the perfect weapon. High dice, high enchantment, and all the slays. When a weapon doesn't hold back in any metric of damage. Even a mage could rearrange their kit to kill morgoth with that.

I was certainly happy with it...went on to find the One Ring on Level 99 for some extra speed and +15 damage too! Quickest fight ever against Morgoth, was doing just over 1000 damage per round vs Evil.

"concerning this thing [the ring], my lords, you now all know enough for the understanding of our plight, and of sauron’s. [...] if it is destroyed, then he will fall; and his fall will be so low that none can foresee his arising ever again. For he will lose the best part of the strength that was native to him in his beginning, and all that was made or begun with that power will crumble, and he will be maimed for ever, becoming a mere spirit of malice that gnaws itself in the shadows, but cannot again grow or take shape. And so a great evil of this world will be removed."

Please refrain from these inflammatory remarks: Too bad AC is worth almost nothing.

I was expressing my disappointment of this unusual find and the situation that I never want to wear purely AC over other magical properties like elvenkind. Judging by ladder dumps, this is an opinion shared by everyone. It is an old topic and has come up many times in the past. There have been many suggestions, discussions and debates, sometimes heated, because the game is close to our hearts. Is this forum no longer a place for that kind of exchange ?

I was being cheeky, because AC is always getting treated like it's the least most important attribute in the game or on par with feather falling or something like that. I never hear people say, "Man, I worked my gear around and now I have 320AC!" or something like that. I don't like using the /s notation; I figured it was obvious enough that there isn't actually anything inflammatory about one simply stating their opinion, so I didn't add /s to my post.
