Epic Quests – Hidden Procs Weapons for Runepriest Sucks

My friends and I finished this quest line which starts at Klorn Durginson in Human chapter 20 of Chaos Wastes. While the end reward wasn’t too bad the quests for melee classes that get up close in personal, the hidden proc bonus for Runepriest absolutely sucks. Yes a very sad panda moment.

Yes I said hidden proc. If you didn’t already know, the rewards for finishing the Epic Quests for Tier 4 zone is a blue weapon that has hidden procs. What’s a proc? A good definition of proc can be found here. Basically its a spell or effect that goes off when meeting certain conditions. Like 5% chance to do extra 50 damage on a melee hit or something like that.

I’m not sure why, but in Warhammer Online the weapons don’t show if they have special abilities. The only way to test is to really pay attention to your combat logs. Like really pay attention. The only reason I found out what mines was, was because my friend told me about it. Then after about spending 10 minutes swinging at some zombie in Chaos Wastes I finally see it show up in my combat logs. If I didn’t know about the proc before hand I wouldn’t have even known about its existance. However now that I do, I can rant about it I guess.

Anyways like I was saying these weapons are great for melee classes. But they basically blow for ranged ones especially ranged healer types like my Runepriest. While the stats for the staff called Vitality that I picked up from the Faith is Madness questline was decent. The hidden proc attributed to it is called ‘Judgment X‘, and is a 300 damage direct damage nuke, which only goes off on, get this, melee hits. Yes, MELEE hits. Which I’m fairly bummed out about since the only time I’m actually meleeing someone is when I’m getting beat on in PvP, and about to die.

Well though it didn’t make me feel any better, my bright wizard friend was saying his weapon was a melee proc too. So I guess we’re just going to send reports in to fix it hopefully.

If you want to get these weapons with hidden procs for yourself. Here’s a list Epic Quests for Order and Destruction. I hope you find them atleast more useful on your characters than me. Maybe I should try out a melee Runepriest build.

Order

Destruction

Note: At the time of this post there is also a bug associated with these weapons, and their hidden procs which has yet to be resolved.

The bug that is occuring is that these weapon’s hidden procs still affect you even AFTER you unequip them for a period of time. Meaning if you have a weapon from two of these quests, you can unequip one wear some green weapon, and still keep the weapon proc that these weapons give. For more information regarding this interesting side bug check out this post in the WHA forums.
