While there has been some sliding into different topics, I appreciate that most of you are really trying to have good, constructive discussions. So question here now, looking at most of these posts, if we slightly changed bard sword, adjust the robe's ac some, and took enc off of the other weapon giving them something new and maybe ever so slightly tweaking the sword to make it a little better optimized for other classes, we would be good? Is that the general consensus so far? Just asking......
I think Horoks should be looked at as well. I think Swifturs idea is a good 1. After thinkin about making a 2nd weapon out of horoks, I realized there is a slight problem that I didn't think of. Potentially double horoks. A idea to solve this would be a 2handed Horoks with the old lifetap proc, or you can just revert the item. If the item gets even a small lifetap with a similar proc-rate, it will be useful in the hands of a mnk.
Just my 2cents, in the end I can live with Horoks as is, I just don't think it leans in the favor or mnks.
