YOU WHAT ???

omg no noooooo

Well Sauron was already dead at this point, so he had no further use for it!

[Sky]

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.

*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.

Max MoD blows are 5.2 for warriors, 4 for pure casters and 5 for everyone else (not sure about BG).

[Pete Mack]

At the current damage, 376 DPT. At 4.0 blows, 940 DPT. At 4.7*, 1107 DPT.

* IIIRC this is the most possible with a MoD.

the Mace of Disruption of Arfearth (9d8) (+9,+11)
Dropped by Saruman of Many Colours at 3000 feet (level 60)

Slays undead, demons, orcs.
Branded with cold.
Provides resistance to cold.
Cannot be harmed by acid, fire.

Combat info:
1.6 blows/round.
With +6 STR and +0 DEX you would get 2.0 blows
With +0 STR and +2 DEX you would get 2.0 blows
Average damage/round: 282.1 vs undead, demons, orcs, and creatures
not resistant to cold, and 119.6 vs. others.

I'll start wielding it when my wis gets a little higher.

i wonder how much damage would a hydra take from this thing.

[Pete Mack]

I remember it being significant. I'd forgotten it was huge. Abolishing the shield spell for 50% of the classes makes up for some of it. Abolishing a number of other buffs makes up for more. (I rarely have double cold resistance anymore, and only sometimes have double fire resistance.)

[PowerDiver]

I don't think hit probability it has changed in my memory. I would like to see the calculation.

There was a massive change. Just notice that armor values are double what they were in 3.0.

[Pete Mack]

+13 Damage is conditionally equivalent to a +10 RoSpeed. If you've got base speed 25, yes. If you have an midgsme weapon or an ordinary endgame weapon yes. But if you've got +2 attacks MoD with Slay Evil spell, or some massive damage randart, no.
