You toss the Hanged Man tarot card at Melgoth and as it reaches him, a huge mass of rope bursts out of it to entrap and hinder him.
A glowing axe appears and strikes Melgoth in the chest.
The Warrior crows with delight, egging you on for more.

He's a viscanti with no armor, magic or resilience training. Doh?

If that's with no regeneration, it's crap and warrior is a waste of power. If he's viscanti, and you were testing around home, he's got at least what, level 2 from being in taint? So it might not be a *total* waste of power.

I tested it a couple times and asked him, that wasn't after his regen ticked. It actually does 79 damage to him blink.gif

OMFG!!!! NERF!!
Erion2005-06-08 18:38:54
Princess is over-powered, anyway. So. Leave it weak.
Ralshan2005-06-08 19:11:34
Heh. Wasn't there a minor bit in an Announce somewhere saying that Warrior damage had been increased a bit? What, was it 10 damage before? blink.gif
Torak2005-06-08 19:13:28
Warrior is horrible, same with princess.

Imho, it should do at least 150-200 damage. Then, with Enigma, it would be 900-1200 total in three double flings and would be worth the cost.
Ralshan2005-06-08 20:08:40
I think warrior needs a new effect all together. Maybe the Warrior axe thing could cause the next three flings to go through shield? Or break a shield. For the latter, I guess it wouldn't be worth much unless your balance for flinging was faster than your eq for void. Of course with Enigma, your second random fling will always get through.

That's just off the top of my head, bearing that it seems like Warrior was meant in some ways to replace Star as the "damage-dealing" part of Tarot, but Star is also used to break shield.

Doing more damage = good suggestion.
Going through shield/break shield = bad suggestion. That's just rediculously overpowered, and for only 3 powers too.

how about just take out warrior and give us star? wub.gif
Ralshan2005-06-08 20:52:04
Eh, I just made it up off the top of my head. And I'm tired. Scuse me if it's overpowered. wink.gif
Erion2005-06-08 20:58:39
Honestly, no Star Tarot. You need a Rage Coven just to do local attacks, unless it's a new/full moon, then you can attack worldwide.
Ceren2005-06-08 21:05:26
What about world tarot? Or is that still broken?
Thorgal2005-06-08 21:28:44
Warrior tarot caused offensive tarots to do 90 base cutting damage..affected by any type of physical resistance, like resilience and armour.

It was upgraded during the envoy changes..

It now does 120 base damage.

edit: World tarot still only works for hangedman, aeon and a 7 rub soulless, useless in other words, but since there was no reply to my envoy post whatsoever, I think they want to keep it useless, or think tarot is already powerful enough.

Tarot -is- powerful enough. It sucks having stupid skills like warrior and world, but you do have a lot of good stuff. Did Drago ask for tarot downgrades in the envoy report, do you remember?
Thorgal2005-06-08 21:42:07
Tarot is nearly entirely defensive though, and no..Drago didn't ask for downgrades, why? Most cards were totally bugged and useless, we asked to get them fixed.
