Re: 1.07 News, Info and Gossip
OK, some followup on this...I went ahead and forwarded the 1.07 eth Kelpie...to my surprise, it did NOT gain the +30min/+50max modifiers (though they are still listed), so the weapon damage listed in my previous post (70-165) is correct! I then used the cube upgrade recipe for exceptionals on it...the results surprised me quite a bit: the +30min/+50max STILL don't work, but are still listed! Further, the 1.07 ethereal hidden +50%EDmax modifier STAYED! So the damage (107-648) is base damage (29-144) * [2.5(min) or 3.0(max)] *1.5(eth) + 0 (the +min/+max don't work...) By comparison, a max %ED modern eth upp'ed Kelpie would do (29 * 2.8 * 1.5 + 30 =
151) to (144 * 2.8 * 1.5 + 50 =
654) damage!
I took the forwarded Kelpie and a modern Kelpie and went to visit Treehead Woodfist (always Extra Fast)...and quickly (re)discovered that hit slows target has NO effect on movement speed
That said, both sticks slowed the attack speed on Treehead & Co to a crawl!! But my completely subjective seat-of-the-pants feeling is that the 1.07 Kelpie did have a slightly greater effect...I would also postulate that the 1.07 Kelpie would have a bigger effect on anything that gets IAS bonuses, like critters buffed by fanaticism aura...
Another interesting thing I discovered while testing this is that upp'ed eth weapons will get the NORMAL max durability for the item base, rather than the half durability of ethereal items (though, like other cube rerolls, the item also starts at less than full durability...)...compare the dura of the upped item to the dura listed in previous post.
