One of the Vet rewards I picked up was the choice between the Undead Slaying Axe and the Sands of Mu.<\/p>\n
Now, I could already tell you from Lynn<\/strong> (who was lucky enough to get stuck with the SoM while temp powers were “stuck” on) that SoM isn’t a game-breaker. It can’t be buffed (at least not enhanced), so it misses a lot more often than Shadow Maul — and that whiff-whiff-whiff<\/em> effect can be maddening. That said, I found it a worthwhile addition to the attack chain.<\/p>\n (In fact, when I signed in briefly yesterday with Lynn to run a mission, I went ahead and took it for her — and realized I had an hour and a half left of my actual temp one, which means she now has two instances of SoM. To add to the amusment, her mission was the Nemmy Staff one, so she now has that, too.)<\/p>\n I decided, for character purpose, to go with the Axe for Unchained Path<\/strong>. I was disappointed to discover, after the fact, that I don’t get any Containment bonus with it — but it’s still a decent Lethal attack. Similarly prone to missing.<\/p>\n One place where these extra weapons will be nice is with new characters. On a whim, I built Clark Bronze<\/strong>, a Doc Savage knock-off (he looks pretty good with his ragged martial arts robe a must). Fun to find out that, yeah, SoM is available for Level 1 characters, which instantly adds to the attack chain for them. Nice.<\/p>\n At any rate, they are nice little add-ons, but are completely optional — they don’t turn the game upside down, but they give a little something to the character. Which is exactly what the Vet Rewards are supposed to be about<\/a>.<\/p>\n And, by the bye, (Wings + Kheldian = Fun Angelic Powers). That’s what Kheldiel<\/strong> says, at least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the Vet rewards I picked up was the choice between the Undead Slaying Axe and the Sands of Mu.
