I tested it with Iytha I think or maybe I just gave her the numbers, but even with the varying ways to give temp insanity it cannot be maintained at a level to pull off illuminate due to the power cost... unless you are Dartien with the champ pet
Maybe if you're focusing purely on giving temp insanity, sure - but with insanity comes an ever-increasing factor where you'll fail to focus mind at all, making it harder and harder to cure as time progresses.

- Monks are overpowered, so you shouldn't be trying to buff Shadowdancers to that level.
- The only one of the "modern classes" that is still overpowered is Researcher.
Oh, it obviously won't happen anytime soon. Just like the OP classes won't be normalized anytime soon. Hence, sitting there sucking one's own fingers knowing how OP another class is and how poor your own class is, is a silly way to go about things. So I'm not
(besides, just look at the ninshi report. Ninjakari clearly are underpowered, they need buffs and fixes!)

factor, but now it should be exactly half.

Heartstones to immediately vanish.

Well, we don't know why was it rejected yet - maybe they had a problem with my proposed implementation, not the concept itself.
^ Just so this is known, it was rejected because admins believe a second kill method was not necessary. So, yes, no instakill for Moon either.

I don't see Wiccans being as powerful as monks or the modern classes, so there's no reason to keep them old, uninteresting and subpar with the claims of "they don't need it" and "nobody decent plays them ". So, piggybacking a furies decision totally doesn't make you look cool.
Heh, Druids. I was asking to see why some skills are the way they are and was invariably pointed back to the mega-demesne ages and how it was useful then, or back when runes was the only tert and how it made sense then. We've got a few terribly annoying things but we seem to be geared to do SOMETHING that doesn't make sense anymore.

GuardianAngel and AngelicHost are broken so can't test those until they get around to fixing them. AvengingAngel gives an angel affliction which smacks you with vapours, impatience, stupidity or confusion singularly every 5s until the angel fades 20s later.

GuardianAngel AB got updated to reflect the 15 DMP it gives for 20s now. Also, AngelicHost enables the caster to affect someone deaf with their songs without blanknoting. I tested if someone Hosts and another bard uses their effects to see if that would be effective and that didn't work, so it's a strict caster only buff.
