Haven't been in the loop that much lately- has there been any significant changes to the current weapon effects? I remember some of them being ok but some effects were just better in most situations (eg. mauls and fire+earth spells vs air and water), there were no wands/staff effects, lots of effects were just too similar and will these replace 4taa?
Part one weapon diversity effects haven't changed (and won't be changed when the beta has been back up). Changes were made in the initial couple of weeks based on player feedback but there hasn't been enough feedback to make any further changes.
Of course, all weapon effects are still in beta and if there are any further significant feedback on the first batch half of weapon diversity effects, we'll make changes to those too.
