With this new patch comes another unnecessary change to one of the hardest weapons to obtain in the game: the Lifeblood Spear. With how many nerfs have now hit Spears in general, the Lifeblood was already simply a tool to be used rather than a weapon to attack with. The heal on this spear indeed made it worthy of the headache behind camping and obtaining it. It cut the cost of regenerative items while out farming nearly in half. Rather than having to burn aloe soup and roasted haunches every time you took damage, you could equip the spear and simply eat food for the intended healing. For some reason, Funcom has seen this as being an overpowered item, despite its rarity and difficulty to obtain. I’m not sure why that is. As it stands, all PVE content can be solod as it is. And in terms of pvp? The spear isn’t as powerful as you’d think considering all of the ways at players disposal to interrupt the healing, such as poisons, bleed as well as weapons with temperature debuff effects on them now. One of my biggest complaints about this game is that the PVE content isn’t nearly rewarding enough. The fights are too easy and with the exception of a few items, the drops aren’t exciting enough to warrant investing time into them. Then came along the Crom sword and lifeblood spear. Both items were worthy of their 1% drop rates off of what is currently some of the hardest bosses in the game. Then, per usual fashion, they both get dumbed down to the point that they aren’t worth wasting time to get any more. The Crom is hardly any better than an adventurer sword or teliths now. And the lifeblood spear heals 1 hp every 5 seconds, which isn’t even worth carrying any more. it’s a joke. A sad joke indeed. At least we got to keep our prenerf Crom swords, but now every lifeblood is worthless. Why funcom? Why do you insist on turning every semi decent item in the game into the same old bland garbage like everything else? In a game where it’s incredibly easy to lose your body to both bugs and deaths as well as lose your items to raids, what is the purpose of keeping every single player on even footing regardless of how much time they invest into the game? I’ve put over 2,000 hours into this game now and it still never ceases to amaze me when these awful decisions are made…

The game is just as easy without it. The only difference is negating the need for farming extra healing consumables which is entirely appropriate for the difficulty to obtain and the lack of usage as an actual weapon. They went way too far and turned what used to be a valuable tool into one more item to rot away in a chest somewhere, completely unused. You can farm the reagents to make aloe soup at level 1 whereas killing the dragon in spawning pools takes an experienced and geared player or at the very least a decently geared thrall capable of tanking it. This argument is illogical and players like you are why we have such ridiculous changes pushed onto us. If you are claiming that it trivialized PVE content, let me tell you that I can still solo anything in the game without it. And if you are claiming it trivialized PVP content then you aren’t a good PVP player to begin with because most experienced pvp players don’t even use it. You state yourself that it’s a convenience tool. And why shouldn’t it be with the barrier to entry to getting one? Why do we now have armor to farm that gives 1k+ AC when the previous high was 860ish (and that was with using prenerf pieces to begin with) if we don’t deserve to have powerful items worthy of the time invested into getting them? The lifeblood was one of the only reasons to spend time in unnamed city, and yet again, they’ve retroactively taken a dump on our time invested to water down loot to the point of mediocrity. Why have any legendary drops at all? Why don’t we all just run around with crafted armor and weapons so that every scrub that logs in for 20 minutes a night can be on even footing with those of us that play the game far more seriously?

zerog: It stacked with haunches, or the base healing effect of the aloe soup. That’s exactly what I just said?? It stacks with food regen, not potion regen.

Yeah, as it stands now, it is useless. Maybe it did needed a nerf, but this is beyond ridiculous. Either change the effect, buff it pretty seriously, or just get rid of it outright as right now it is garbage. The paltry healing effect it gives right now is worthless.

Funcom is not normally in the habit of justifying decisions about changes as it usually just results in more argument and accusations. And I would kind of doubt there would be a major response other than possibly someone saying “Yes we hear that you don’t like this change, were looking into it” or something to that effect. Don’t get me wrong i’m not trying to bash your post at all and I personally agree with it, but they just don’t want to get involved in a “Well why this, why that, what were you thinking?” kind of discussion on the forums. :slight_smile: Considering there have been over 100 responses to this post already and almost all of them say the change that was made was not needed and went WAY too far, i’d imagine Funcom people are paying attention to this issue a bit and are possibly considering what could be done about it. Take that for what you will though, pure speculation as I do not personally know anyone from Funcom so can’t even begin to talk about their mindset on issues. :slight_smile:

it’s easy to do a potion it can take a very long time before finding a lifeblood spear. it’s normal to have very rare weapon operational, otherwise remove 75% of weapons, no points to have dozens of weapons doing the same damage, and no point to spend 2 months to find a lifeblood. and to have more no sense, i’m sure they introduced new op weapons with the patch, and so it will goes the same way, some people crying here too op, i have been killed, then nerfing, then with next patch a batch of new weapon operational, and here we go again in infinite loop. a rare weapons should have very unique & op attribute, otherwise you only do commun weapons and there is no problem, but it’s boring.

No, it’s indicative of the fact that the other UC weapons are more bland garbage that isn’t worth devoting grind time to obtain. Venom Spears and daggers are the only pvp weapons any of our crew even bother with and both are crafted from the library recipes.

well actually i simply do flawless 2h sword or spear, no point to loose days and days to farm something that no more worh it. only one which i agree is yes redmother bow worth it, let’s jsut wait the nerf…

i only know it took me 2 months with a daily routine of 1h30 - 2h to kill boss (6 of them, doing the tour) with best T4 thralls and gear before finding crom, and one month before finding lifeblood (i was lucky for this one). I have never been able to find two exemplary of those weapons, with may be more than 500 boss kills as they are nerfed now they dont worth 2 month daily routine gamplay, i agree with you that red mother bow still worth it, by the way it took me 3 months to find it. predatory and others weapons that you quote have apparenty a higher drop rate than red mother bow & crom & lifeblood (or may just mathemics as there is more boss who are dropping those weapons). This is my experience and i have many duplicate of those others weapons. but not of crom / lifeblood / redmother bow. i still stay on my position that it’s normal to have very rare weapons really op. and i have no problem if a thrall defending a base kill me in one hit. sometime defense need to win… this is the main problem of conan exiles where attackers always wins. by the way no human player in pvp use crom or lifeblood, the main use was on thralls for defense (and yes it was an op defense). or to kill others thralls defense with you own thralls equipped with lifeblood. and even a thrall full geared with lifeblood can be killed by others thralls, I saw it happens.against 3 others thralls fully geared, so no invincibilty at all. the way to balance the game was not to nerf crom & lifebloof if a problem, but would have been better to make them even more rare to spawn, ie from 1% to 0,5. but actually lifeblood is useless , crom is still a good sword for thrall, but well don’t worth the farming time, as the difference is not so huge with a good 2h sword.

You’re naming reasons why these things are good in PVE situations. Sorry pal, but any one of our heavy hitters in PVP will wreck through any of those weapons you named with venom daggers or spear, and even against a competent pvper, they aren’t worth investing the time to camp when you can lose them in one pvp mishap. People seem to be arguing that the healing was OP in PVP yet not a single competent pvper is going to waste time camping one when it’s more viable to camp bombs and zeal. But I’m tired of rehashing the exact same argument when you seem to avoid countering my main points.
