Yeah but I have to personally admit I ****ed up the way to attain the Oathstone of Karak Eight Peaks; quest you're required to do for the unlock cannot be completed at the moment. Has a fix pending and will probably be pushed with the next hotfix.

The Oathstone of Karaz-a-Karak is obtainable.

First off it was not OP after nerf. It was 600 armor debuff. Which is ok for the start of the game, but with terrible stats and higher armor everyone stopped/ never used it.

The thing is changing items because YOU guys feel it needs to be changed. Changing bad or useless stuff to be good is ok. Changing stuff you guys feel OP is kinda not a good thing. Like, the influe weapons for destro. The WL epic quest with the OP buff. The WP epic weapon. But, whatever.

Also, 15 auto attack haste is pretty much crap. Because after the auto attack nerf, that value is not worth the stat loss.

I don't see as to how any of that relates to what I have said in the mentioned quote. The nerf was to a 400 armor debuff, which made the item essentially useless, as you said, because of the poor stats it had, and continues to have, as does every other ToK jewel.

As we have ZERO intention of bringing back something OP as a 1200 armor debuff on a 10% proc chance, I personally think a 15% AA haste is better than keeping the nerfed 400 armor debuff, but that's just my opinion. Influence weapons weren't changed by us, FYI. We simply aren't intending on restoring their original procs yet since they aren't all included.

Also, whine about proc imbalance on the redesigned epic quests goes elsewhere, methinks. If anything, all of these changes are Torque's department, and I am only the messenger.

I drool over 15 auto attack haste. As soon as that quest is fixed I am going to jump for joy.

15 haste while not a massive 1200 armor debuff is well worth the jewelry slots. Especially if it ends up stacking with tactics / abilities / future set bonuses.

Slow weapon + lots of autoattack haste = juicy autoattack damage.
