Wow, it's so different between the two replies. Guess it's randomized and everyone has different sets?
Another question - I noticed the event chest doesn't really yield any good orange items other than accessories and even then they are only tier II accessories. So after you have your fill of ice and poison weapons, there's really no need to complete events right? Maybe use it for gems and elements. Am I right?
Another question - are accessories only up to tier V? I haven't yet seen a tier VI accessory.
The fastest good weapons that you can get are Acid weapons. It will take some good time to get a runic item 2 orange and even at orange level 10 a acid weapon might be better anyway.
Leveling all heroes will take a while and getting items for all all of them will take equally long.
But the only place that will give you runes is Events and sooner or later you will want some Orange armors so you will have 2 play events
How do you get acid weapons? I've all of the orange and purple items mentioned but I've never gotten acid weapons. My only elemental weapon is the frost bow for Kassia...
Got it. Thanks, chrillion and eziekial. So, the best items from the event chests are ice and acid weapons then? Initially I thought they were comparable to the gem chests but I guess not. They are worse than if not for the arcane weapons. So, the only way to get orange armors would be to fuse runic items then? From the list it seems body armor is lacking and should be top priority in fusing. Next would be helm then boots.
@tangoraven: to get any arcane weapons you would buy the event chests for 175 tokens. Chances aren't great though.

I would say acid is better than ice but it really depends on your group and other items you have. I play felmore. Nar'Ghal kassia and nyxx. I play to do max burst dmg and down mobs very fast. The acid helps ignore armor which increases dmg whereas ice slows targets for better kiting. Since I have two melee attackers them constantly moving to hit a moving mob takes away from them dmg so I choose to go that route.
Also really depends on what drops you get. I only have a ton of fire items. The ice bow from the quest reward and I got the acid bow from a chest reward. All other characters I have use purple regular items.

Absolutely. The fire weapons seem pretty lame as the fire damage is negligible. I think having 1 acid and 1 ice weapons in any party is the way to go. Acid weapons will increase your party damage by a lot, while ice makes kiting bosses and darkness mobs super easy.
I think the fire damage weapons should cause splash damage to nearby enemies with each hit. But they would still have to significantly increase the fire damage to bring them in line with the acid and ice weapons.
I tought the same. fire damage is lame. ice weapon is good for slowing down attack and movement speed is pretty good. and -defense from acid is very good too... have ice bow, but not yet an acid weapon.
but for tank i have decimator 3 (orange tier6). for archer arcane frost bow (purple). for healer spirit rod 3 (orange tier6). is there any gun with poison? something like arcane inferno rifle? but nor flame, but poisin. because this one with fire is lame
Comments
Sword for felmore/tiberius (it's damage is much less than the teir 6 you can win from the random chest.
Same with the shield for felmore and Tiberius
Healing wand for nyxx/Thea. This has full healing power in comparison to the item you can win
Healing staff for Tlanac.
Epics are gun for the new characters. Hat for cloth wearers. And I think cloth shoes.
Supreme Spellbook for nyxx/thea Tier 6 & a 5 that is good
Orange:
Noble Espandrille for light chars, like z'dar and nyxx Tier 6 & 5 that is good
Orange:
Devilface II Tier 5, is better then a Tier 6 blue.
Purple:
Supreme Jewled staff for Z'dar Tier 6
Purple:
Supreme Wizards hat Tier 6 for Z'dar
Orange:
Noble Wool Hood Tier 5 for Kassia
Purple:
Think there was a Staff for Tlanac Tier 6

Whoa, I did not know that... yeah definitely double acid. Although I'd probably still take an ice weapon for certain kiting boss fights.
Well it depends how far you've gotten in the game. Tank is no longer the issue for me, but i need to do more DPS
