DLC S tier weapons worth the buy?

[PooPooPanda]

I just bought the game not long ago and I'm totally enjoying it. Unfortunately the cool weapons that I saw from youbes were mostly from dlc I think. From my research, all dlc have 1 or 2 meta or really good weapon for 1 class.

For example I really like the spear and shield for HM, but requires 20$ for winds of magic. I don't even care about the new monster or maps atm I just want all the fun weapons that I like lol

Other weapons are from other dlcs which are another 20$.

Some guys on forums suggested that if you really like the game just buy them because he regretted not buying the dlcs sooner because he played the game a lot and the new content woulda been nice early on.

Question:
Are the new/meta weapons worth the $$? Are they op/fun ish? Is the spear and shield totally worth it?

Are they easy to craft? It says online that you just have to beat the dlc map and you can craft them? Are they easy to craft or require end game stuff?

Should I buy the dlcs now as I'm progressing, which will make new content flow into my progression easier or is it like totally end game stuff?

Thanks~

You won't know if you actually like to use those weapons until you try them personally.
Only you can tell what worth for you.
High ranked weaves are the end game stuff and cataclysm difficulty, both part of WoM.

S tier weapons that jump to mine are Salty's billhook and A+F, rapier is rankend as top tier but I dont nearly have as much easy success with it as i do the 2 previously mentioned weapons.

Krubers spear is said to be top tier but I never found it to be so, i think exe sword and halberd are above it in ease of use

For wutelgi spear and glaive are top tier with shield spear being equal but having a mechanically annoying optimal moveset (shield bash into S1)

For dawi the top weapon is by far 2H hammer which is a base weapon and if you want a range option throwing axe which is form WoM I think. It's not required but it opens up an entirely new play style

For sienna, current S tier is probably flail and flamesword with no clear advantage between the two as of my personal experience

So the only char being locked out of s-tier weapons by not purchasing dlc would be salty (and you still have access to rapier) and arguably bardin, maybe kinda

Back to Ubersreik is good on its own for the levels + weapons. I personally enjoy the Axe+Falchion for Saltz, Crowbill for Sienna and Mace+Sword for Kruber. Haven't tested Kerillian's axe, Dual Hammers for Bardin I found decent but not great.

The Winds of Magic weapons are great in general, but I would say wait for a discount if you really want them, because the weaves mode and Dark Omens level aren't really worth it.

Sienna's Flail, Bardin's Throwing Axes and Saltz's Billhook are all great. Haven't really tested Kruber's spear or Kerillian's Spear+Shield enough.

You ever wonder why youtubers will say stuff is OP and you should use it? It's because they want you to buy the DLC. They get sponsorships and stuff, if they promote well. They're not being entirely truthful.

Almost none of the DLC weapons are meta. Sienna's weapons are the exception, because she has a poor melee selection.

Kruber Meta: Ex Sword/Mace/Great Hammer (he has a lot of good choices)
Dwarf Meta: Hammer/Great Hammer
Elf Meta: Daggers
Saltzpyre Meta: There are many good choices for him.
Sienna Meta: Flail

Just buy the DLCs at AKS.

Id disagree here.
Billhook is best in slot on salty. Simple as that. Axe and Falchion is also good. Only other decent weapon on salty is rapier. The other weapons get better once BBB goes live but they are still not on par.
Tuskgor Spear is also a top tier (if not the best) weapon for Merc and/or huntsman. Exe is also at the top but most other kruber weapons are weaker than those 2.
Dual Hammers are also pretty much best in slot for bardin (slayer only on 1h builds). Sure greathammer isnt weak. But its by no means as strong as dual hammers.

Sienna is in a bid of a weird spot. Sure flail is strong but dependant on career and build you are likely to consider something else too. Numerous battle wizard builds that revolve around flame sword are just one example.

The DLC weapons that I didnt mention here are for the most part fine and usable. But they are by no means on par with the mentioned ones.

DLC weapons were OP and/or fresh on release but a lot of changes have occurred making them balanced at this point. Grab dlcs if you enjoy game and want more play variety among class weapons, map pools, enemy variety.

Originally didn’t like spear and shield but now it’s my favorite handmaiden weapon for its extreme defense and utility dps patterns. Also don’t like using same weapons for every character best or not. Otherwise my gameplay would be very boring.

As far as crafting it’s easy up until red versions in which you need 5 dust to get a red dlc weapon for veteran players it’s an easy red dust dump otherwise may be challenging.... which reminds me to save up more red dust for next career release.

Put them on your wish list and wait for the 50% off specials that pop up from time to time.

That's gonna be a long wait 'cause I don't think I've ever seen the DLCs more than 33% off.

At least not on offical sites.
I got WoM for ~8 rather shortish after.
Imo for the 5 weapons and 1 map (which still gets hate in QP) its fair.
I never wanted weaves or beastmen and think cata should have been baseline.

3 - 8€ @ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dot com
So: no waiting - you can hardly get cheaper...

Edit: No idea, why the censor "instant" and "gaming"

Because it's a black market site that goes against the Steam ToU?

Less black market (grey at worst) but mainly because stuff that sells keys for less to users that would pay more if they'd buy on steam.
