Fire away at ideas.
Shiri2005-05-01 04:03:25
One more INT isn't gonna do anything for us.
I thought a +1eq would be okay. :/

Desdemona2005-05-01 04:09:43
I like, yes... except that for the Taurian I'd give them 16 strength instead of 15. Regen level two would probably be something noticeable, I hardly notice the racial regen completely, it is only once I have activated Boost/Regen (which isn't bright at all, due to my lack of mana) that I notice gradual health recovery. Add a blunt protection level 1 as well, I mean muscular bullheaded people -should- be able to deal perfectly with a good beating, wouldn't they?
Shiri2005-05-01 04:19:45
Come to think of it, what would be good is to GET RID of those utterly stupid experience problems.
Asarnil2005-05-01 04:45:41
Warriors won't choose a race that gives them a sucky bonus to their surge as well as decent strength. Sure there are the people who DO choose their races for RP reasons, but until the races are more combat viable, you won't see them in any huge numbers on the basin.
Murphy2005-05-01 04:48:59
I'd actually give orclach 16-17 str as a base, to make up for having such bad int as compared to viscanti who have 16 str base and 10 int
apart from that, give tae'dae 18 str to still make them better
apart from that, give tae'dae 18 str to still make them better
Silvanus2005-05-01 04:50:13
I thought about doing that, but, looking at it from a Mage point of view, I didn't want to be hit by 16-17 strength base with no balance loss.
Murphy2005-05-01 04:57:21
viscanti have 16 str with no balance loss AND a regen lvl 3 in taint
Silvanus2005-05-01 04:59:31
Except Brood Viscanti is specialized, Orclach is not
Murphy2005-05-01 05:03:34
then have orlach with a specialistion, giving them the better stats when ur'guard
Shiri2005-05-01 05:07:57
Nah. It's fairly obvious it's one specilisation race per city.
Vix2005-05-01 05:10:03
... Until Hallifax comes out.
Unknown2005-05-01 05:10:07
Then Serenwilde and Celest and Glomdoring warriors would need another specialization race too..
Murphy2005-05-01 05:14:32
then swap specialstion from viscanti to orclach, orclach are way cooler
Silvanus2005-05-01 05:15:08
I disagree with the specialization, just implement my ideas
Narsrim2005-05-01 05:23:24
Just implement your bias ideas? I think not.
Even Estarra loves the dwarven folk. Leave us be! We were designed to be tanky. End of story. Furthermore, if you truly wanted to balance races, you wouldn't have picked out races of your buddies but analyzed races as a whole. Currently, I don't think anyone can argue that Lucidians are anything but the worst race of all time. A Lucidian Titan would still fall to one pulp from Murphy.

Silvanus2005-05-01 05:27:48
Only reason I didn't include Lucidian in that is because most likely they'll be given a specialization in Hallifax.

In any case, it has been stated that dwarves were meant to be tanky. They have relatively low strength and intelligence. I do a 550 damage moonburst to Murphy with 14 int. The only claim to fame is being able to absorb damage, which is exactly what I paid for.
