Why so many negative stats on world boss heroic staff?  It makes it not so much of a Heroic item.  Also no rolls or gem slots.

Yeah that's a world boss drop heroic, they should at-least be a little bit above the level 40 heroics (in my opinion) and they're not even use-able yet. They shouldn't be as good as the legendary chest items though.

 

Also I posted another topic, but some of these are bind on pickup which doesn't seem right.

That's a brilliant staff if it were not for all those negatives. However, you could argue it's harder to craft a top tier staff than buy one from another player or get it as a drop from the world bosses.

Yeah Raven, I think these weapons should maybe be buffed a little. Someone got a 2H quest reward last night from boss and showed me, my crafted sword is better!

 

Even if they are slightly better than the level 40 heroics, that would make them more fun 

[Lucid]

I completely agree, not a huge boost maybe 15-25%? on stats

Your not comparing apples to apples. Your comparison is a melee weapon and a sorcery weapon. Yes you going to lose the melee and blocking points. You lose energy in exchange for focus which did not exist on the melee weapon. And Vitality is more desirable for the melee class than the sorcery class. Essences is where sorcery gains the vitality. Probably gained extra points in focus that you would not see in the melee class to make up for the point.

 

But I do agree that as a heroic item it should have some type of bonus or at least a gem slot. But maybe it is a variable drop and you just got unlucky and got the low end.

Its not negative stats. Its better than what I have from TR. And if it had a slot it could very well be better than the crafted staff as well.
The mistkae is that you're comparing it too another weapontype, not another staff.

Don't all Heroics have a slot?  Could be bugged...

Not all Heroics have a slot. For example, the Searing Fang and Jungle Throwing Axe from TR can be dropped with no slot or one slot.

Yes, the stats in red are the changes you would see if you equipped it, because you will be removing a melee weapon and a shield, and losing the bonuses you gained from them. If you unequip your current weapons, and hover over the staff, the changes in red will disappear.

[Lagenia]

Why should this staff be even near the crafted one when it rolls a socket? ...

 

it got 32 vit, 63 sorc and 63 focus END ... no random stat, no socket roll, nothing - and thats crap in every way a random roll should be a MUST HAVE even if this random roll may be a bad one - but there should be one

[sareth]

seems like you compared it with shield

[Mojawk]

It doesn't actually have any negative stats, the values in red is the comparison to your current items. 

 

Heroic items that drop in the world have a chance at no socket, an empty socket or a random stat.

 

I hope this helps!

yep. its only crap cos you were unlucky enough to not get a roll or a slot.

I'm a noob so I don't get it really... but ok....

[Mojawk]

Try un-equipping your current melee weapons, then mouse over the staff again. This should explain it

Mojawk's point is that the staff goes into the melee weapon slots. If you remove those weapons then the staff won't be replacing anything and you'll be able to see the basic (unmodified) stats on the staff.

[Sage]

ahhh I got it now... it would sit where my shield is... that's why I see the negative block rating... thanks sorry

[zirxa]

dumb question do every creatures drop heroic gear??
