So a while back when Magian Trials were first introduced, I decided that I wanted to got for an OAT weapon. I looked at the two possibilities and it was obvious that the path that required eyes of verthandi was a better choice and the fact that vert eyes were hard to come by was the trade off. I decided that I would rather wait for eyes and have a better weapon than just going for the other so I started the long process of doing VNM here and there with my LS and lotting on eyes when I could. In all it took me 9 months to complete.
The last update we had when we went to 85 I saw that the lower damage OAT was given Occasionally Attacks 2-3 times and was a bit discouraged, but trudged ahead with my OAT weapon since I was already half there. I had hoped that the final product would still be slightly better due to the fact that I could main-hand it if I wanted to for much better damage than the lower damage one (Like when using a thief's knife).
I finally finished my weapon last week and then the update hit Monday. The lower damage parazonium is now occasionally attacks 2-4 times and the higher damage one only gained +2 damage. It seems to me like I made the wrong choice and I should have just done the OA 2-4 times one from the very beginning and this is very disappointing since it took me so long to finish the verthandi eyes trial.
I am now just wondering what others who have done either of these paths think. Maybe I should start the other path and throw my current parazonium away?...maybe someone will give me a good reason to keep it? Either way I would love to hear the input of others out there. Thanks
