Not really worth attention at this point in time IMO, P2 weapons need a complete overhaul because their current intended effect is quite mediocre.

There are many other changes to Limbo that I would have preferred to see over fixing P2 weapons.

If you want limbo pt2 weapons fixed, what would you suggest? Since as stated, their intended effect is weak.

Without tinkering with scripts now that scripters are gone, I'd say their spot power wise should be between DB (duh) and XR ones, just some boring dices to have them usable and provide a run hook for the time being.

(Very old suggestion snippet that I had sent privately around 12 months ago)

P2 Weapons:
The P2 weapons are totally dysfunctional at the moment, but probably not worth fixing. The concept of a "weapon that is decent against non-healers" is flawed in the first place, because for the most part you have to carry a usable weapon for the healers which you may as well swap to. While they are not *entirely* useless compared to Dustbone weapons, they are merely 'situationally decent' and comparable in power to Level 50-60 weapons... definitely inappropriate for a Paragon weapon. Weapons that are 'decent' against many mobs also discourage frequent weapon-swapping, which is arguably the main skill aspect of tanks (who are often criticised for not having enough opportunities to demonstrate skills).

A new approach could be to change the concept on the P2 weapon from a "weapon that is useless for healers" to a "weapon that is USEFUL for healers", which actually is an attractive niche to fill.

Instead of dealing 8d12 Ele/6d12 Exo, it could be changed to only deal 8d12 Exo of the most effective NON-HEALING exotic type. This gives it a unique role by being the server's only mega-exotic damage weapon for use against various targets such as Pygros Nethertouch/Sphere of Annihilation, as well as something you can swap to against *any* healer and still deal 'okay' damage (not good, but better than nothing). Not brokenly powerful, but extremely useful and they would be highly sought after.
To top it off, the weapon should be provided with its own Enhancement Bonus to make it a truly buff-less weapon that you can just pull out and wield. I would make it at least +15, though +16 is probably more appropriate (since it is Paragon tier - Hell weapons are already +15).

Edit: Damn ninja-post! Raj's suggestion about a simple dice adjustment to be an immediate run hook is a much more realistic solution for now.

Cuz being lazy (and realistic) always has its merits. I was trying to find some old weapon discussion but well, let test SG's mood first.

[sabregirl]

I was actually thinking something along the lines of poli's suggestion.
