Possible Silver nerf?

I understand the want/need to try and keep things balanced with the Undead and their Necromancy. But today I was playing my Undead, and just finished buying a full plate suit, costing 900EP, I do believe, that had over 60AR. A little later, got in a conflict with Jake, who has a Silver mace. Which is cool, but, He was still hitting me upwards of 40+ with his Silver mace, even with the 60+ AR I had.

This seems rather overpowered when it's practically doubling a normal strike. Can we look into a possible nerf to Silver, maybe lowering it's dmg increase on undead?

Re: Possible Silver nerf?

Not to derail this with a question, but what's this silver and how does it work?

Silver was the original pre-AoS slayer, it works as an Undead slayer, increasing you damage to undead creatures (and player undead, here)

They can't be crafted, as far as I'm aware there are only 3 in game so far. Finn has one, Nathan has one, and Jake has one. Finns was found in the Undead dungeon, and the other two I believe were bought from a travelling trader character.

I will second this request by Brianna, I was there and I saw her hp go down like she was a mongbat in imaginary full plate.

Re: Possible Silver nerf?

I think silver weapons currently have a 70% damage bonus against undead characters, instead of the full double-damage they do against NPC undead. That being said, perhaps it could be scaled down to 50% or 40%.

Most people already know this, but I figure I may as well add it for those who don't; silver weapons also cannot be repaired as players do not have access to the metal type needed to fix it. Undead characters can also gain favor from Kraven by obtaining a silver weapon and giving it to him, so the first time a player holding a silver weapon is killed by undead players; that silver weapon is likely to vanish from the game.

Re: Possible Silver nerf?

Poor old undead have been getting a hard (though frankly deserved) time of it, aye. We'll reduce it from 70% to 40% and see how things go from there.

Re: Possible Silver nerf?

As we all die from OP necromancy and silver disappears lol. Honestly I've stopped using the silver weapon on anything that's not a player just for the repair reason cause I doubt anyones gonna let Finn get his hands on another, also considering he's made the connection between the lost relic and the sword he's never going to use it in front of the church. So use can start being limited by factors of characters, I'm sure the church will deem it a heretical action not to hand over silver weapons to the church eventually.
