Good News For Thrusting Frenzy/Diamond Dagger Owners

After yesterday’s news that the Thrusting Frenzy and Diamond Dagger weapons from Albion would be changed to +thrust instead of +envenom, many of us infiltrator players expressed our disappointment. Mythic was very open for suggestions, however, with Sanya even opening a topic for discussion over at The Safehouse. After lots of good feedback, she posted an update on Camelot Herald on how they plan on changing the weapons:

Boy, I made some people extremely unhappy yesterday when I said the +envenom on the two items didn’t work. We had a little miscommunication here; the +env didn’t work as the other +env items do, but the TF/DD DID allow you to apply the higher poisons on other weapons, if not on itself. We cannot “fix” the two things, due to the way items in general are coded, so either the +env has to be replaced with something else, or it has to stay “broken” and working the way it always has without changes.

Due to the significant feedback we received from owners of the TF and DD, we are going to leave existing TFs and DDs as they were – +envenom. Please note that FUTURE TFs and DDs that drop will be +other things, so if you were planning to go after one of those items solely for the +env stat, you should look for other gear options, or make nice with someone who has the original model. They are still nice weapons, but item databases should be corrected to reflect the patch notes so that no one is surprised when they don’t get a +env weapon from this point forward.

Thanks to the Safehouse for a constructive discussion, as always.
