  • @Maligorn: Not really hindering myself. They ARE bad design, being able to use things like pollute or hailstorm don't make the whole skillset good. Most of your …
  • Naming specific skills trying to say that makes a whole skillset good is just fundamentally wrong.

    Noose is not all of Wyrdenwood, you are ignoring 20+ other skills that aren't good. The design of the skillset is not "this skill…
  • The chems are a bad design.  Most of the game agrees chems are badly designed, he is far from the only one.

    Are not intended to stick their affs mostly, rely on stupid high damage that (once balanced down) will not be the best w…
  • Why do you need to check on a bug? We have an overhaul, bugs are 99% ignored? ARE YOU THAT SPECIAL NEOS?
  • Or... they can add it.. not really sure what your argument against is. A simple ORDER INRIFT ahead of time can screw that.  I also specifically said something about carrying two................. 
  • @Ieptix  I did some minor working with things, and have some requests to try to make this transition easier.  Moving paralysis is going to hurt.... a lot.   But th…
  • (Quote) First let me delete layers of quoting....  There we go!

    Attack recovery is the biggest factor if you both know what you are doing, if we hit at the same time, you get to counter first, which I can't stop.  T…
  • EDIT: Answer was in post!

    As a random aside for those interested: I will be updating the monk spreadsheets once we see the physical affs changes.  That will make it easier to see what is changing for monks. 
  • (Quote) @Maligorn: You are really talking to the wrong person, as I have placed in every year I have entered of Justice regardless of my guild at th…
  • I have done well at justice every year I have entered if I recall. 

    I lost to a max charisma bard, and that was my own fault for not tracking eq costs on items I hadn't used before.

    Regardless of chari…
  • I am curious why only Loralaria has the whole "get better with gem" mechanic. Their songs are already good, why did they gain the doubling up? We gain 10 dmp buff to fire, they get 10/20 resist, minstrels have a number of weaker songs, and we have n…
  • Whatever happened to chain lightning? That was one of the aeromancer unique skills but then it just stopped being used, did we run outta aeromancers or was the damage just changed noticably? (I could see chainlightning doing what balestone does now …
  • So I got paged (@Synkaring you bastard D:) a…
  • Rebounding can go away, honestly I think the fact we often rely on it says Knights are the theoretically most OP (4 defenses, plus RNG on the attack and they still kill people).  Rebalance to not use rebounding. 

    Do NOT put it i…
  • Shattered ankle stops stand but does not prone on its own, correct.

    Pierced limb can cause failed standing.

    Hemiplegy (double I think) prevents standing and cleanse.
  • @Saesh @Ieptix: What will happen to delayed cure afflictions? Will punctured a…
  • @Lerad: Bite your tongue, I adore Amihai D:
  • Thanks for the reply, I will work on the assumption we might be able to move some cure times around. Though every time a cure balance is increased groups become even worse to think about.   Very sad in Prioritised Curing Comment by Malayn December 2014
  • Stink also interacts with tracking or something I believe, in general it is not used.
  • (Quote) The main concern I have with this is it assumes power economy is important.  Power economy is completely questionable and varies entirely by guild. Telekinetics are notorious for using no power, while warriors, guardians, some m…
  • If we have 11, can faeriefire just go away? Probably one of the least used affs (used by.. druids and wiccans maybe to track actions under hinders?). 

    Also, if we have mental and spiritual affs, what is the other two cures? Body…
  • What is the current stand on outlier and stacking adjustments?

    The original overhaul called for giving buffs levels and maxing at 5 so you couldnt get +60% health. Also, believe it was going to address super high damage outlier …
  • From what I see, most all those changes to how skills interact in groups have been envoy reports and have nothing to do with skills being designed with focus on group level in mind. Things like aeon (which is a curable choke) have the exact same eff…
  • (Quote) @Iytha: The omen effect is being replaced, so you wouldn't be able to cause double damage on torture, only the 33% from sensitivity as omen is …
  • @Silvanus: You are crazy man, Nihilists throughout the ages have used damage, most of them had to learn to use torture to kill people! In my day we even used ast…
  • (Quote) What was the improved mana draining ability? manabarbs causes health loss when mana falls, sparkle and scroll will cure both at once, we didn't improve actual drains, assuming it sticks.

    Keep in mind we also…
  • (Quote) Naw, that was a joke. I am not in Magnagora, nor Celest, but historically any changes to one results in them whining until they are on par.  Celest added holy light, and a lot of buffs to other skills using it, but now necromanc…
  • Nihilists will need a passive way to use manabarbs for this to have any use, and even then, it won't be.  Manabarbs would mean pressuring mana does damage, but you use omen to do damage, as the drain from leech is crappy comparatively.  This won't c…
  • Hm, I was accounting for some things that aren't universal (passives).  It is 1p to hide, free isn't reliable to everyone. 

    EDIT: Removed note about whammy.
  • In some cases can we throw in thoughts on replacements?

    Giving confusion to hexes, combined with hexes being able to hide afflictions for cheap (free or 1p) means they have access to ectoplasms younger brother without the costs.…
