Bah... they didn't lower psionic balance times... which BOTH mage envoys said was very much needed. That and they didn't take the hivemind change sad.gif Otherwise, yay for psionics changes

Staffsling change is very nice for druids. Any of the poor people who still have runes, that is.

I don't think telepathy, telekenesis, and PSIONICS needed updates, since they were already powerful

Shiro, how would you like to be able to do jack squat for 8 seconds? I rest my case wink.gif

You mean besides cast spells on the two other channels?

You glance over Citera and see that his health is at ?/?.
You assess the bodily wounds as follows:
* Head has no wounds wounds.
* Chest has no wounds wounds.
* Gut has no wounds wounds.
* Left arm has no wounds wounds.
* Right arm has no wounds wounds.
* Left leg has no wounds wounds.
* Right leg has no wounds wounds.


Spamalicious. Can we like... get the option to turn off wounds?

AB TELEKINESIS LEGLOCK needs to be updated so that it correctly states that it can only be used on the superstratus channel, or fixed so that it can be used on all three, whichever it's supposed to be.

Yeah. Like tumble. Or attacking.

Yes, leaving you very vulnerable because that is all you can do. No shielding, no webbing, no moving, no reflections, no nothing else but the use of the other channels to give easily cured afflictions or the casting of basic illusions. Truthfully, only a fool of a mage would use the Superstratus for anything but as a channel to use locked abilities on. Which is very iffy now, because of the introduction of disruption scrolls. 8 seconds is a very long time to be forced to stand in one spot taking hits.

I'd just like to remind everyone who feels psionics got ripped:

Barrier + Chasm.

I rest my chase.
Revan2005-09-14 19:18:44
Narsrim... that's only for telekinetics. Also, it's not impossible to avoid. Know how? Use a disruption scroll, or go into your little dryad tree, or fly. Your argument holds absolutely no water. Hell, I'd like to point out to you: bellow whore + aeon/moonburst

And to the people who keep bringing up this dead argument I'd like to remind them of:

Disruption scroll!

I rest my case.

If you have 3 locked channels, I'd have to potentially use it three times to remove barrier. At this point, I have to get out of the room. Toss in some illusions here and there, and this could get nasty nasty.
Shamarah2005-09-14 19:20:11
The only things I ever use superstratus for are fling and bodyscan if I'm going for a heartburst.

Anyway, I'm annoyed there were no changes made to Manse or Reality, even along the lines of reducing the power cost or something. I know Kaervas suggested that Manse's powercost be lowered and only let the caster and the caster's allies enter and that it can be dispelled from the inside, which would at least make it useful as an escape skill.

You mean Moondancer + Hartstone > Moondancer? Scary.

Barrier can be removed with a disruption scroll. Many things can stop chasm, and last that is only one specification of elementalism you are talking about. I think you need to re-open your case, because you did a poor job of presenting it the first time.

Sounds ridiculous to me. You could basically create a hideout almost anywhere... hell, greater pentagram isn't that good.
Kaervas2005-09-14 19:23:19
You could manage it easy with mugwump speed, plus we can't illusion mid-chasm. Or you could hex peace, tarot users could fling lovers, warriors can tackle me out, I'd list more but I can't be bothered. Also if we want to use other psionics skills chances are that we won't have the other channels locked.
Shamarah2005-09-14 19:24:39
It's not good for anything right now. Heck, just make enemies have a delay entering and let us dispell from the inside and reduce its time it lasts then.
