Why does the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword require Arcane?

[Tyler McRae]

Seriously, what about this weapon is Arcane? It feels like such an amazing weapon, but 19 arcane i sjust such a weird, unreasonable amount, especially on a pure strength build...

lore said it was old god weapon, old god probalby the dragon god, dragon mean arcane.

Some question just have no reasonable answer at all...All the "BIG" gravity weapons like Ruins Greatsword, Starscourge Greatsword, Fallingstar Beast Jaw all together with Alabaster and Onyx swords are STR/DEX/INT weapons.....some of them are made with materials coming fron outside the world like the meteoric ore.

I guess someone missclicked while edition the weapon stats!

Yeah i guess.....but at the end of the day even lore wise it is just a gravity blade made by a piece of meteor also with no negative status involving arcane such as bleed. I can live with it but i find this extremly weird.

If you listen count Imir dialogue carefully than you know that every magic are coming from sky, and every weapon you named are coming from deep space or made from space material, so they must be int scaling weapons

yeah that's the point. the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword, being a meteor, also comes from outer space. but scales with arcane instead of int. and that feels kinda off

Yup even before our trip to the Shadowlands we knew that today glinstone sorcerers are descendants from the astrologists. Of course there are exceptions like death, aberrant and oracular sorceries so i guess if we want to give a good lore background to the Ancient Meteoric sword it is just a piece of meteor crafted by a old god from this world.

Also remember that onyx and alabaster lords were worshiped as gods before the Golden Order happened so who knows!

more variety probably the main reason.
also the arcane scaling on it boosts its physical damage. its pretty beastly (and a little tiny bit of its magic damage)

Yes funny scaling or not thats indeed a god tier legendary weapon. Much better than even Euphoria and you can literally loot it just after a few hours in the Shadowlands.

Considering the two expansion main bosses are vulnerable to pierce damage and you can "chip" their huge magic resistance with knowledge above all (Gideon mace) or Ranni darkmoon debuffs i can even say thats the only weapon you need to clear Shadow of the Erdtree in a meaningful and actually funny as ♥♥♥♥ way while you pretty much teleport to everyone face, before causing a massive explosion.

Post Scriptum: Forget about Knowledge above all.....it also debuffs you taking increased holy damage, not good at all for the last boss lol.....

Stick to Ranni Darkmoon and Greyoll roar as debuffs (pick one!).
