Vendor update?

[Deunan]

Why would i buy a weapon from a vendor when the drops are better?

Because they're not. While you can't get Legendaries at most vendors with the exception of the charge blade at the Thorn-Liro vendor, the RNG for specials items includes Epics and one of the best weapons I have is an Epic syphon VOT Tachmag with crit rolls and ego regeneration bonuses. It sure beats all the blue, purple and even orange shtako (orange with bad bonuses are worse than Epics with good ones) I typically get as drops from Sieges or from Lock Boxes.

I drooled a little thinking of that tachmag.

Makes me think Trion doesn't know how to fix them or cannot, which tells me they really do need an overhaul of weapons. or just remove Vendors.. I agree with the OP why would i bother with vendor trash when loot drops and lock boxes are better, anyone smart wouldn't at all.

You got lucky, most as you say are Shtako, and i've not seen too many Vendor weapons i've really said ohhh arrrr, i just think that's all crap and move on...
