Is Lifeblood Spear alive đŸ©ž?

, ,

Greetings!
I was test driving the Lifeblood Spear, but it neither healed me while attacking nor extra healed me after battle. What is it supposed to do :hushed:?

It is supposed to heal you 1 health every 5 seconds. That amount of healing is so low, you have to be paying very careful attention to notice it.

Edit: I tested it without any other regens going and confirmed it is still working as intended.

Oh, I see :expressionless:.
Thank you!, I believe it will go to the wall of weapons I like to show and not wield :sweat_smile:.

Yup, hasn’t been worth wielding since the nerfular strike of June 2019.

In the beginning, Crom created the Lifeblood spear, and it was good. I used it to heal my thralls after severe battles especially in the UC.
I spent IRL months trying to get it, and finally it dropped from the Red Mother.
Due to PVP salt, it got nerfed into oblivion, and is now worthless.
Hang it on your wall, because that is where it belongs now.
Funcom has never been able to find a “middle ground” and seems to always go to extremes when “fixing” an item.

That’s a huge true! Sadly. I like what you are saying because it is true, but I don’t like this black and view standpoint in regards of balancing items. So many gear is useless now, and how many will be?
Lifeblood spear, Yog’s touch, Voidforge bow, now Sword of Crom, and all the weapons/shields(!) that gave some bonuses.

I wouldn’t call Yog’s Tough useless. But yeah, otherwise your point is quite valid. Too many attempts to balance an item has simply removed it from the list of items people would realistically use.

Sure, Lifeblood Spear was a very high-damage weapon that also healed a ridiculous amount of health in a short time. It needed to be fixed. But it wasn’t fixed, it was broken. Not only was the healing effect reduced to a level which people may not even notice, as evidenced by the OP, but its damage was also significantly reduced. So now it’s basically a sub-par legendary spear.

Moreover, since thralls don’t wield weapons unless they’re actively fighting, they don’t even benefit from a long-term healing effect the spear might otherwise provide. And with the current healing rate, healing 3000 hitpoints to a thrall would take 15000 seconds, or over four hours.

Sorry, I should have been more precies by addig this: as a legendary! Because why farm for this, when you can just run into a dungeon butt naked, grab the recipe without even starting a fight and craft a better axe.
In my dictionary legendaries are better than high tier weaponry. Either by having a litle bit less or on par stats with high/epic tier gear but with a special trait that overcompensates the stats, or no specials but increased stats (one stat heavily increased or all starts increased a bit).

That’s how I truly meant: there are better options, it is now a high tier grade weapon, not worth the title ‘legendary’.

I get more joy out of finding a teapot or incense on the red mother than i do finding the life blood spear (or “Red Mothers Toothpick” as it became known in our clan).
It is a reminder of how unique this game once was. Now all weapons and armor are homogenized so as not to upset the people who don’t have them.
Yes it was op as was the sword of Crom and others mentioned. But now that they have been nerfed to be more useless than star metal weapons, they should just be removed.
Matter of fact, may as well remove almost all legendaries now that str, vit, agi, etc bonuses are gone. These weapons and armor are no reward for taking on a boss in this game.
Legendary weapons and armor shouldn’t and don’t need to be op, but above everything else, they should absolutely be unique. Otherwise, what’s the point.

How dare you forgot the “Act of violence”??? It was THE PRESIDENT OF AWESOMENESS!
Why :sob::sob::sob::sob::sob:???
I know, I am still crying, but I really miss this random super hit :confused:, it was a great feeling to one shot things from time to time, damn pvp, no mater how I love your players, sometimes I hate you!

My first extended break from the game came shortly after the Lifeblood Spear nerf. There was a whole slew of butchering of PvE stuff in the name of PvP. Left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Let’s also not forget anihilator and the world breaker , that had 100% armor pen when released :speak_no_evil: :see_no_evil: :hear_no_evil:

Hey
sorta like Lightning storm. I think FC should replicate what they did for horses to tackle Meta stuff. Horse correction was a very good and complete fix of the issue that didn’t leave a nasty feeling of a full on pendulum swing
lifeblood spear is a joke now. Lightning is a joke and pointless now. Sword of Crom
I don’t know what is going on there
I think they just wanted to play a sick joke on everyone.

I disagree about the horse changes. I used to occasionally fight on horseback. And it made some things doable at an earlier level with some patience, mostly taking down bears and elephants on Siptah. Now I have exactly zero reason to fight anything on horse back because it is counter productive.
