Not too much different to being a Nihilist then.

I disagree. Compare lichdom to trueheal, for example. Whereas I would agree both are nice in their respective way, you have cast lichdom pre-battle and be able to use that beloved 10p on something else. If Celestines want to trueheal, they have to sacrifice other power abilities in combat to have it ready for trueheal if they need it.

Furthermore, necromancy has defensive abilities that slow down raw damage, which is always a problem. For example, putrefaction and ectoplasm. These both cost no power. Celestines really dont have anything to compare that is nice, but doesn't cost loads of power.

EDIT:

Neat fact: Putrefaction is a 45% reduction of physical damage. Halo is a 7% reduction.

I think we need to be careful when we fade across the line between 'the class is underpowered' and 'someone is not using it properly'. I've yet to see Ceres even have the patience to thoroughly explore and become accustomed to a class, nevermind excel. It could hardly be said that either Guardian class is underpowered.

I agree; however, I still contend that Celestines are somewhat screwed in the sense that everything takes mad power.

I was three quarters kidding, but the power-intensivity is insane, for sure.

Nayl is ill-placed to speak about combat as someone who runs from straight cosmicfire.

EDIT: I also dislike my angel dying in two hits. This is as bad as a fae, and it costs 5 power to summon!

Hey Nayl, fight Ceres. You seriously have zero room to talk about anyone and their combat prowess.

Nah see, that's Nayl (the character. I am in no way attempting to offend the player of said characters!) trying to score cool points by laughing at and attempting to mock someone else. High school lunchroom stuff. Ceres would destroy Nayl any day.

And 2 mitran, and cosmicfire = 50% magic, plus, I was at 1k when you started.
You know better than that.

We need a highfive emoticon

:highfive:

A lot of Lusternia is about petty insult exchanges now. Has anyone noticed roleplay starting to die?

Starting?

Yeah the forums are so full of hate lately, it sucks.

I'm against the forums existing, personally. It utterly ruins the in-game atmosphere. Look at how good Achaea was before the forums appeared. People actually roleplayed and did things IC.

I never got into the forums in Achaea while I played. Seemed like a waste of time, as if I weren't already wasting time in-game. And yeah, a lot of hostility comes out here.

Anyway, keeping in spirit with the thread, nice job Murphy. Let's cease the Ceres-bashing, eh?

I read that post, then I looked at your signature. Then I wondered if I had ever seen you proselytize ingame.

Then I laughed.

Agreed with the point, though it's a little odd coming from you, in consideration of the fact that you are a major perpetrator of it.

Ceres, half of the people reading this thread will probably have had me try to bring them to Celest. If you would stop being a for a few minutes, your life would be less stressful.

Enough with the hate, and the hateful language please.

Chill, Amaru.

No need to mimic the hateful words, thank you.

Heheh. Maybe if I was constantly trolling the boards, posting flames about everything and generally being nasty to everyone then that would actually be true. You just need to quit trying to argue with me about every little thing. Make love, not war.
