If clerics could use the best weapons, why would anyone bother playing rogues or warriors?
I added new weapons for clerics, including a light hammer (Despair), but DPS is meant to be lower for the class.
I understand what you're concerned about, and the nature of my request is not about DPS. It's variety of choices for builds.
For instance, my cleric is agility based with the 2 warrior guild skills for crit % and crit damage w/ chance for insta kill.
These 2 skills make me want to use a weapon with high speed and a high crit %.
A dagger.
Currently, I can use a mace, and despair is nice, but with only a 5% crit chance and it's slower than a dagger.
The dps difference between despair and devourer sting doesn't look to be that drastic, but you have better metrics to evaluate that than I do.
The secondary ability of devourer sting is why I'd like it, the paralysis 1. Sure it isn't going to go off much, but it just is something different.
I've been using a flaming dagger since I discovered this build because it fits the vision I had when I was envisioning how I wanted to play my character.
There are many reasons to play a Rogue or a Warrior besides DPS.
A rogue is the best dungeoneer, is superior at finding and disarming traps and discovering secret doors.
They are also superior archers, and with their skill selections, they can inflict massive damage in a short amount of time.
Besides that, they get stealth.
Warriors also have reasons to choose them besides DPS.
Duel and the other guild specific skill are just plain awesome. They get the best Armor and are the best class to take on the toughest enemies from a defensive/offensive balance standpoint.
In conclusion, I see you're doing your best to keep each class happy, and brother, you're creative genius is unquestionable. This game is going to be #1 when people actually discover it. It's really that good.
I'm just giving you a little bit of feedback from my perspective with my cleric, who has no trouble as it is with completing content. It's not a lack of balance.
It's just he's been using the same old dagger for 3/4 of a year.
