Everyone loves Lavalon weapons. They're sexy looking with the giant flaming, but post patch, that's all they are. Just... Flaming. What really got to me was that fact that Lavalon has gotten SIGNIFICANTLY harder. These are the changes:

- Lavalon now has 1.4mil hp. I have been told before that he actually used to have 100k hp. That makes the battle even longer. Not very solo friendly either until maybe mid 50s.
- Mana bullet drop rates have been lowered. Meaning that on top of the hp you have to chip off, the Mana bullets can annoy someone. And the longer the battle, the more chances of dying.

On top of this, the heart pieces are rare, and you have to pay money in order to get the recipe for the actual healthy heart. AND since the Lavalon weapons have been nerfed, there's actually no point seeing that the stats are near each other. And if the stats are near each other, then this hard earned weapon can be pretty much be replaced by another weapon that has even better stats.

I say that if Lavalon weapons are going to be useless, you can either:

- Make Lavalon the way it was, and keep the weapon changes.
- Keep the way Lavalon is, but give the weapons a slight boost in damage to promote it's use. As long as it's not overpowered (Let's say add 600 damage to it). Maybe a 300 boost is fine...

The way things are, the market is probably going down for the Lavalon heart pieces. If the weapon is just going to be thrown away, you might as well just give us it's look. If I can get a Angelius Staff that does as much as a Lavalon Weapon, I'm just going to get the Angelius staff that takes the least amount of effort.

Btw, correct me if I'm wrong on any of my points.

I agree to what have been said. Very valid points.

The original appeal of the lavalon weapons was that you would pay money for an over powered weapon. I believe that lavalon used to be more powerful than level 60 weapons. Lavalon was TOO easy before, I would have to agree with making him harder, I mean, 3 level 40's could kill him in one swoop and hes suppose to be one of the strongest bosses.
But now that the lavalon weapon is only slightly stronger than regular weapons, there really is no draw to attempt the lavalon quest.
The sword should be overpowered, that's why you're paying really money for it and running the same quest hundreds of times.
Originally, it was a ton of effort and real world resources for a true prize
