Fighters will be able to equip their legendary with any weapon they choose, including Welfor’s.

Monks -> neck + Asher’s
Rangers -> neck + Io’s

They’re all getting bumps to their ability to attack. Extra guard bumps a paladin’s ability to defend.


Your correct that the classes you mentioned all will get to equip their Legendary weapon and their Legendary neck slot. The difference though is in the powers of the Legendary weapons beyond just the damage. Welfor's and Cleaver have none. Asher's two points of poison which most are immune to, and Io's extra crit range but a big stat to get there. With the HA you could make a case that just the powers of the sword alone could be combined into a powerful Token. And these powers are now being put on a weapon which takes up no slot. What Token could be made from the powers of the other Legendary weapons? +2 poison damage, so maybe a Rare at best. And 18-20 crit but must have 20 Dex. That's how I see there being a difference in the weapons. The HA as is will become the most powerful weapon ever created.

You're absolutely right, but part of issue hidden there is that Welfor's (at least) is weaker than it should be (given the classes it is restricted to and the weapons available with fewer restrictions). We didn't reign in Asher's or Thor's enough when they were made. Welfor's really ought to be bumped up (via some TokenDB errata) or replaced with a newer Legendary. But we're unlikely to get a new Legendary weapon for Fighters and their kin for several years, since next year the Fighters get their necklace.

I think it is somewhat appropriate for the HA to be the current most powerful weapon, at least until there is one that Fighters can use.

Mike is bringing up a good point. At this time there are only Rare (+2) or lower DMG bonus items in the Wrist slot. By making this item we give a +4 DMG bonus to 2H Barb/Fighters/Paladin (the common 2Hers) and then allow stacking with a Relic or Legendary. This really means the Barbarian net bump for the Relic/Legendary with the UR would be +10/+14. We also have to consider this item when we do the Fighter's legendary next year.

This should probably be in the Hands slot where the competing items are:

Gloves of the Brute (+5 STR, -2 DEX)
Mithral Gauntlets (+4 STR)
Gauntlets of Linked Fury (+5 DMG when using two handed melee weapons)

+6 is better than +5 and the Barbarian wouldn't get the -2 AC penalty so it is clearly better for them.

I think you're looking at this the wrong way. It's not about what powers you could take off the old legendary weapons, but rather what powers will be added through the legendary neck slots, which paladins won't get.

Like the Paladin class itself, its a jack of all trades, master of none.
The damage wheel is weaker than most of/ all the other relics + weapons; the added healing is easily replicated; the +1 guard to Melee for one room is pretty limited as most if not all will have to wait for the final room *and sometimes thats a puzzle if Im not mistaken?* and how often will we see an EO after E3? One could make an argument that in many dungeons, its one of the weakest Class specific Legendaries available/ planned. I know I've only been playing 2 years, but is this thinking that far off base?

I Agree.

I also suggested moving this to the gloves spot in 4 different revisions and it didn't move, so I gave up.

All the HA will stack with is the UR AoG. Every class with a neck legendary can stack theirs with whatever legendary weapon they choose. The HA only looks like it's the most powerful if you're looking at it in a vacuum that ignores how the neck slot legendaries will play off of other existing legendaries.

I just read over the grace update...I think its better and more paladin like with the flat save bonus gives you more of that paladin aura feel...the only thing I would have changed on that would be to make the relic +3 to saves and the legendary +5 if your limiting it to 2 times per game or hell even once per room would not be too over powered it only last for one roll...or you could make it last the whole room then the +2 and +3 would feel better... thant just my opinion FWIW..other wise I think the holy avenger was a wonderful idea and I am super excited to see it in TD

The discussion on the Relic and Legendary items is really eclipsing the 3* and 4* transmutes.

Putting some attention to those for a moment:

Lenses of the Owl: Is currently a reprint of the Lenses of Accuracy. Can this be be name changed to Lenses of Accuracy?

Ring of Stamina:
Still not a fan of only +2 con. If there is no desire to have a +fort save on this, can it go back to +3 con?

Agreed - and make the recipe similar but current.

Generally a 4 start is a bit weaker than a UR so if you make it +3 CON it will be similar to the Cloak (which should be +3 as well) without a modifier but in the Ring slot. So it probably needs a small negative like -1 Reflex save.
