> Howdy folks. I added support for the mirror ava weapons auctioned off. They should now have a bit more slice damage if you have sufficient polearms skill.
According to the appraisals I did a few days ago, this was already the case. Was the combat system not recognizing it?
This is what is on Elanthipedia
Puncture: very heavy (10/26)
Slice: somewhat fair (4/26)
Impact: somewhat fair (4/26)
Force of Impact: poorly (3/17)
Balance: excellently (12/17)
Suitedness: excellently (12/17)
Construction: rather reinforced (11/17)
This is what mine is appraising at now
very heavy puncture damage
somewhat heavy slice damage
somewhat fair impact damage
no fire damage
no cold damage
no electric damage
The mirror ava is poorly designed for improving the force of your attacks.
You are certain that the ava is amazingly balanced and is excellently suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.
You are certain that the mirror ava is rather reinforced against damage, and is in pristine condition.
of course the balance and suitedness difference is because of my stats.
I picked the ava up in plat.

You can see the challenge to your abilities reflected among the ancient runes etched into the polished surface of the mirror ava.
A T'Kashi mirror ava is a halberd pole-ranged weapon.
A T'Kashi mirror ava trains the polearm skill.
You are certain that it could do:
very heavy (10/26) puncture damage
heavy (9/26) slice damage
somewhat fair (4/26) impact damage
no fire damage
no cold damage
no electric damage
The mirror ava is poorly designed for improving the force of your attacks.
You are certain that the ava is incredibly (12/14) balanced and is amazingly (13/14) suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.
You are certain that the mirror ava is rather reinforced against damage (11/18), and is in pristine condition (98-100%).
The mirror ava is made with metal.
You are certain that the mirror ava weighs exactly 60 stones.
You are unable to determine the value of the mirror ava.
Roundtime: 8 seconds.
136 pole, 100 strength, 90 agility.
I know Persida said it was intentional that the weapon be a tier 4 template with the mirror enchantment, but I tested it out against a quest skefne, and the skefne actually came out marginally ahead (basically the same total rt to kill 20 peccary, 136 pole 1030 melee mastery); somewhat disappointing for a mirror weapon. Any way this could get a slight boost at all? Maybe a tick more puncture?

Get more polearm skill and you should see the slice go up.
Also, balance won't affect single-target DPS measurably. It increases your chance to recover when you'd have otherwise missed. This can be extremely helpful when trying to hit something you a low chance to hit.

Did this get updated in TF? This is the appraisal from someone with 991 ranks in Polearms. It's the same as my 280 ranks.

No, not in TF yet. I'll be making a big sync there (which will include all the shaping stuff) this weekend. I generally leave TF alone initially in case I need to revert something that breaks.
