  • Ah taking things out of context AND comparing apples to oranges all in one sentence. A Knight going from 17 to 18 strength and Monk going from 2x to 2x+1 dexterity are completely different scenarios, and that's before you ignore the fact the latter …
  • (Quote) Well if they're not good, they're not overpowered, this quick fix was to eliminate overpowered defences. If they're not powerful defences but instead small gains that min/maxers like to put together for a bigger payoff using var…
  • It's a buff to offence and defence but we're kidding ourselves to say it's big.

    So you're gaining a +2 weighted bonus to dexterity. That's +1 stat point, +1 stat point is a buff, but it's overblowing it to consider it a big buff. It …
  • (Quote) This is the kind of stuff people should be encouraged to look for. Especially with clear CHELP (or even CGHELP) files telling you how to find this further information.
  • It's too easy to dodge criticism of the fact you handled the original list poorly as "Oh you're just kneejerking to a nerf" because unless you're employing selective reasoning you'll see several times where I've said this was something that did need…
  • HELP DOMOTHS does indeed explain everything but holy crap it's not where you want to go for a beginners guide to Domoths.


    This is why I've been drafting up a series of "Dummies guide to" books for Glom's library on Revolts/Flares/Do…

  • If I'm going to Mana drain as a Knight (apart from the fact why would I?) there's already options available to me through lash or forcing clot with lacerates.

    Also a lot of ibululu seems to get thrown around these days, not many people st…
  • You can't swoop in Crowform because you need the Crow Perch skill to be able to do it, Nightgaze/Nightkiss don't have that restriction. I understand what you're arguing, but you're missing my point. It's not that having all three skills together is …
  • Well some things need fixing because for the next 8-9 months (rough guestimate) there's still a game and people enjoy playing it, so it's nice to have some idea of balance.

    This would of course require some envoys to actually nerf themsel…
  • Lucky timing on checking the credit market, or do some people just have a repeat function to buy credits at a set price when AFK?
  • Because it's pretty likely a lot of skillsets will change entirely with the combat overhaul so glaring issues with specs that people fixed with skillflex, won't exist anymore.
  • (Quote) Before this change all defences remained, with Estarra saying that it was a benefit of skillflexing some time ago. This change has removed some of the buffs that were exceptionally strong outside of their spec, and 2-3 others th…
  • (Quote) Strawman that you're trying to say "You're crying because you got nerfed" when no one's complaining about Nightkiss on the list for example.

    Strawman that people aren't coming up with ideas. Just because Xenthos cited…
  • (Quote) Except I'm not, that was the point and people are quoting out of context, so I put it right.

     No, I don't think nerfing night is the answer, I think you are being incredibly petty because you took a big, muc…
  • (Quote) Seriously, no one in Celest has explained these to you? Hell you've even been in stage 2 in a Domoth fight IIRC.

    This is precisely what I mean though when I say people don't work with new players and it affects retent…
  • So the new Lord of the Rings trailer is out and finally Benedict Cumberbatch's Smaug voice can be heard.

    In my mind, Morkarion sounds just like that.

    Hell who am I kidding I wish I sounded like that.
  • (Quote) I'll remind you again of what the report stated, because you're taking this out of context.

    " In the mean time, if there are specific defences which are too OP to remain on skillflexing, the Serenguard Envoy may messa…
  • If the solution to make Crow appealing is to nerf other tertiaries to the same level as it, you'd be pretty much nerfing everything across the board for Knights except possibly Aeonics.

    People shouldn't feel they have to be pigeonholed in…
  • In before Skye's Hallimonks prediction.

  • (Quote) I'm going to quote this for posterity. Stag might not be Moon but it's a damn good skill tree.

  • (Quote) At least there's a reason to try again now the old "This is balanced because Nightkiss/Skillflex is intended" reason no longer exists. Seriously a facelift to Crow and a revamp of Tracking are both opportunities here, might as w…
  • Also different topic. The red star doesn't normally start bleeding sparks right?
  • I'd love to see something regarding putrescent festering carrion infecting wounds, either doing more damage or making them harder to cu.. oh wait that's Deathweapon. Carry on.
  • (Quote) Sure while we're at it let's bring down everything on that level of strength in the game, I'm sure we'll be better off without inqusition/trueheal/drawdown/full/most-things-monk/pyromeld/aeromeld/reality/ectoplasm/crucifixion/he…
  • The only way you're going to improve Crow without skewing it out too much for Druids to focus on, is to look at improvements that Knights will benefit from, balance speed, weapons and wounding (I'd say cutting damage but Wyrdenwood) and then possibl…
  • That'd have to be some serious defencive gains to rival Nightkiss/Drink/Flight.
  • That's rather irrelevant to the discussion. This was the caveat added in the Furies decision.

  • (Quote) :Politics: prevents that currently. When he was still in Halli he was as fair game as anyone.
