I dunno, for building lights I've found it to be way more efficient to use AE over Rend on BST, then again I have Cloudsplitter now too, and it's not as bad as people have made out. If you have THF then yeah it's a non-issue and you can safely ignore everything I said.That being said, to uh, I forgot, someone telling me to Aeolian Edge. I think Primal Rend puts out better numbers at 100%TP, especially considering its get the 'Ice" treatment (Atma of the Beyond has Light:Major as well), So its the better call when your only goal is Amber/fighting 1 mob. But as a THF, I'm aware how awesome Aeolian Edge can be. I've Aeolian burned a few times.
But i would just switch to a Knife rather than (The ops idea) use Aeolion from off-hand for 50% Damage :X
Anyway...
It basically would add needless clutter to the game which is probably going to be useful in all of about 0.0000001% of situations. So, technically you could find a use for it, but I feel it's one of the least useful possible things they could add to the game. Maybe not totally useless, but quite close to being utterly and profoundly without purpose. If it took them any time whatsoever to implement it, any positive would be outweighed by it being retardedly situational. Tenfold.Those complaining that it would be useless are clueless. Would it be game changing? almost certainly not, but thats not useless. I gave a few examples in my initial post to the thread.
It probably is not a practical change, but it could be fun in a small way. I'm surprised at how strongly so many have felt over this idea. Its not a threat to anything.
I'd be insulted that our money was wasted on something with so little practical application.
