Are Magna weapons worth the hassle?

RaPiDz · 03-18-2010, 09:01 PM

Everyone tells me thet the mag weapons, aside from the longbow, arent worth the time and trouble of collecting the mag for them. I dont play for looks but raw damage and usability. Can anyone shed some light on why, for example, the mag melee weapons arent worth obtaining.

The Magnatite Weapons suck. Well, at least for lvl 50s. I can tell ya, my Daen spear is better than the mag spear.

and most have found the Daen, Eve spears to suck at lvl 50 too (at least i HATED the eve spear), the only mag weapon worth it is the barb sword imo but this is all very highly opinionated

Because we can all get the epic boss drops :P :P Magna weapons are good for their level and not game breaking if somebody gets them.

I have the Ancestral Sword for Barbarian.

i pefer it too my old claymore - Doesnt hit as hard as my claymore did but it's faster which really makes it useful for the style i play

264-280 (44+)

Hitchance +24

15+ Blunt Damage
15+ Pierce Damage

i put those 2 Gems into my sword and it hits slightly less then a storebought Claymore

the Weapons don't have any amazing damage but they offer alternative speeds and customizing with gems

you should have a look at screenshots of them and decide for yourself if they worth saving up for or not. i think the Dark Legion's website has a post with screenies of them in the image section.

my honest opinion is that theres no way you going to be able to collect 5000 magna's without buying most of them.

just some info you might consider when thinking about this:
The minimum selling price of a magna is 10k (or at least it is in Syrtis->Horus). that means you would need about 50 million to buy 5000 of them. by the time you get to lvl50 you should have around 150 magna's with 5 maybe 6 million gold if you didnt go on a spending spree sometime.

Imho the only mag weapon worth the time and money is the 2h sword... I can at least tell you the 1h hammer is not
