so while the weapon bracers might not be great for you now, it is for someone else as it is

Pulling a bracers of fire for a first run, and a bracer of smiting on a second run, and finding out it does not stack when the card said “you can do this without tokens”, I do not forget how “good” a bracer weapon is for a beginner. Trying to find someone that would accept that weapon in trade for another rare item, I also remember. Maybe pre 2014 were the dark years of true dungeon.

Bracer weapons should be revisited.

Monk out damaging any other class because of their “unfair advantage” by wielding two weapons, maybe?

Having people define assumptions, and make statements about only considering input from a few members of the community about those assumptions, it is an interesting thing to consider.

I provided the groundwork for my logic with my assumptions. If you think they are incorrect, please challenge them. For example, if you think a Monk is not expected to be an unarmed combatant, tell me why. If you think Monk should be the top Damage dealer, tell me why.

Edit, Basically I agree with the first post that something should be done about bracer weapons. I disagree that the solution should be a large buff (per assumption 1), I’m laying out why I believe that something should be done (assumption 2), and I’m using assumption 3 to set the ground work for proposed solutions that achieve 1 and 2.

Assumption 1:
There is nothing wrong with the current monk.

Assumption 2:
TA believes the normal monk is superior than other characters with the same amount of equipment since monks are left off many options for equipment.

Assumption 3:
TA wants every class to buy and equip all slots at the NM+ play level, for any class. They would like power roughly in line with the base classes, they prefer token sales to card based abilities. They also like some card based abilities so it isn’t just tokens all the way down, giving new players some options when 10 tokens is not quite enough.

Assumption 4:
Items using more than one slot (even one and a half slots) are more powerful than generic tokens that use only one of the slots.

Conclusion:
Bracer weapons should be reimagined! New bracer weapon tokens in 2024! UC, R, and UR + would be amazing!
