Weapons icon advise.

[ankgel]

Hello, well, I think I have an icon type problem with my set and an advise would be good. I believe my icon types are really easy to block, so I need another weapon that can solve this, if there is a problem (I might be wrong). Here's my eq:

Snowglobe Staff (don't count this I'm not thinking on buying a 100% freezer yet)

Greater Healing Scroll

Downsize!

Ylanas Blaster

Ylanas Blaster

Honey Potion

Sophies Magic Hat


I might want to buy a pike pike, a ramtors spell book or something like that to fix the common icon types, so, what's your suggestion on this, and on my eq in general?

greetings.

You're laying on heavy Fire with the dual Y-Blasters which can be hit by Clawed Shield/Flame Reflectozap.

I'd argue "common" icon types aren't a problem. All you get by going with Pike Pike or Ramtors Spellbook is a half-Light weapon that's getting smacked around by Dusty Magic Broom or Air Faerie Crown. (Though that would force the guessing game where you could try to trick your opponent into flashing that instead.)

I'd recommend Essence of Esophagor (slight stacking with Y-Blaster, stacking with Honey Potion, while being vulnerable to Leaf Shield).

Thanks for the answer

But I don't understand completely your recommendation. Essence of Esophagor? Having two 12.6 iconers with similar icons, I think I have enought earth, and a 9 iconer doesn't help, right? Sorry if I don't understand

The reason you have an icon problem is because your two constants get knocked down by some common defensive items, some as cheap as SMH.

Your problem is that you're running weapons that deal too many different types of icons, and adding additional icon types in your situation will not help.

1p: Just run the YBlasters, save for a GBomb.

2p: If I were you, I'd pick up dual RSB to run alongside your dual Blasters. When an opponent flashes his FTab you have a pair of weapons to fall back on that cut right through it. Buy a 100% freezer ASAP.
