'and yet in that whole time you did nothing to help druids out of demesne, and your rune report tertiary upgrades that you stayed around long enough for consist of an instakill that is unusable, 3 power costing skills that are relatively useless, a couple rune changes that are marginally helpful, and one skill that is actually decent as long as you don't already own Spectacles. All told, runes is still comprised mainly of 1 thing - Whoring rad. Just like it always has been.

Pardon me if after nearly 4 years of your obvious expertise, at making druids better out of their demesne, I don't take your opinions with any more consideration than I do Celina's.

*insert plug for spiritualism spec for hunting* (hey it would give druids an equal number of choices to mages)

The druid change was not needed. Druids are insane in their current setup inside a meld, and sap is godly. Let's not even mention how insane sap is in group fights. Druids should not be receiving updates just because the current day druids fail so hard and the admin take pity upon them.

Wot?

Are the new summoned beasts semi-random, like existing bought beasts?

Are they tradable?

1. Likely
2. No

Your "everyone's wrong but me" approach is very mature. Glad to see Lusternia's envoys are so open minded and accepting of other opinions.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't most of the rune changes entirely Estarra's ideas? Hell, nothing came out of any of the reports. Dreamweaving got screwed over, but I suppose you'll blame Silvanus for that. Xavius and I have never really gotten along, but I know he was an active envoy. He pushed hard to move druid's from sap centralized combat and give them more options out of demenses, which is what a lot of druids have wanted for a long, long time. Sad to see any headway he might have made go up in smoke with one envoy's "sap r hard, buff plz" stance.

So...what buffs should we look forward to next?

Consider yourself corrected. You are wrong. As per usual.

Ecology was mostly Estarra's ideas. Runes not so much, although that monstrosity of an instakill was most definitely not ours. We were suggesting things based on the idea that sap would get nerfed so that druidry and elementalism specs would be of approximately the same power level, and they chose a different route, so of course there's going to be some differences in what we suggested and what went in, even more so than usual.

There you go Gregilicious. It's okay though, I don't take it as an insult when I'm wrong.


Anywho, ecology! I knew it was one of the druid specs Estarra created mostly herself. Still amusing that Greg is trying to blame you for it. I know, for instance, what was suggested for the Nihilism report and what actually went in were very different things.

Maaaaan, all this bickering makes me warm and fuzzy inside

Hooray, I can start seducing again.

You got seduction nerfed

(Not that I'm complaining )

These god realms sound interesting... are they in Prime aetherspace somewhere?

Because BC buffs are a good idea, amirite? I sure hope it was fixing a bug where it provided less of a boost than its counterparts.

Pulp was actually weaker (albeit being a targetted swing) than crush, while being more costly and restrictive.

Hefting both weapons above your head, you begin swinging them in circles and bellow out, "For the Red Masque!!"
Focusing on her head, you strike at Celina with an iron maiden war hammer. You pulp her for only a glancing blow to the side of her head.
Focusing on her head, you strike at Celina with an iron maiden war hammer. You pulp her for only a glancing blow to the side of her head.
Horror overcomes Celina's face as her body stiffens into paralysis.

You stare deep into Celina's soul and discern that:
Celina's health stands at 5169/6220.
Celina's mana stands at 7190/7190.
Celina's ego stands at 5943/5943.
Celina's power stands at 10/10.

Pulp - still sucks.

NECROMANCY - ECTOPLASM

Syntax: DARKCHANT ECTOPLASM
Power: 2 (Megalith of Doom) - untargetted (max 3 people)
1 (Megalith of Doom) - targetted
10(Megalith of Doom) - all
By spewing forth ectoplasm, you will coat your personal enemies with the viscous substance, making it harder to recover balance. Alternatively, you can target the spell against one individual. Liches are immune to this attack. If regularly
untargetted, ectoplasm will, at max, only affect three enemies. If all is specified, all personal non-lich enemies will be affected.


Seriously? 10 power? What retardedness is this :censor:. Please remove the room wide versions and just replace it with a new skill. Please. This is stupid.
