I'm certainly loving the change with Faecall...

But yes, since I'm a petty, petty Wiccan, I do wonder what the poor willowisp will be up to in her free time now.
Terenas2006-04-26 06:07:00
I just hope warriors get something interesting, I want something new to try out.

Ever wonder where the really annoying faelings come from?

No complaints yet about the massive druid nerf? Wow, I'm amazed smile.gif I love the changes so far.

I can't believe you did not pass my well-written and objective Tracking envoy report to Diamante when they asked for it again. sad.gif

I can see it, the only changes to Tracking will be a new ability to prevent clucked chicken from jumping out of my hands.

Traps are already godly....

I'm still hoping Runes gets some changes to make it a viable skillset... would be fun...

Runes would be awesome if the speed of doublesling was decreased. The balance is too long.
Aiakon2006-04-26 12:26:41
Double sling has a power cost too, doesn't it? I always thought that made it a little untenable.

It would be absolutely retarded if it didn't.
Terenas2006-04-26 15:12:45
Doublesling should cost only 1 power to use just like Fetishes. And give it an instant kill otherwise all a Rune user has to kill someone is just damage.

Geomancers have chasm. Aquamancers have preserve. Druids have gore/swoop -and- sap. I'm failing to see why it needs an instant kill.
Shamarah2006-04-26 15:58:45
Supersling needs to be faster and cost only 1 power.

Geb also suggested some fun-looking new skills for it in the envoy report.

Subj: Envoy Report Changes

Most of these changes today are regarding Knighthood specialisations, so
it's important to say to you all that it was agreed in the envoy summit
that Knighthood in general as well as weapon stats and caps are going to
be looked into further. These are not those changes, they are some of
the ones I mentioned before that would require more time to design how
to implement, these are changes asked for in or inspired by the envoy
reports.

- Lunge, crush, assault and sweep have all been changed to be blocked by
shield and prismatic barrier. They do however still totally ignore
parrying, stances and auras of rebounding. Roundhouse still ignores
shield and prismatic as well.
- Behead has been changed so that it is now possible ONLY by using the
normal HACK DOWN attack.
- AmputateArm and AmputateLeg have both been given increased stun times.
- When someone has a pinned leg, they will now continuously take
wounding damage to that leg, not to the gut.
- The extra bleeding caused by Disembowel has been increased.
- The balance loss when someone is hit by Wind will no longer stack -
they will only receive more balance loss if they HAVE balance when they
are hit.
- The Knockdown stun time has been increased for Axelords only.
- Athletics Fitness' AB file has been changed slightly to be more
specific about what it does.
- Athletics Headslam now has a chance of knocking the target off their
feet as well.
- Sprint and all the abilities like it (gallop, etc.) now have a slight
balance time, so they can't be used DIRECTLY after each other.
- Athletics Surge has been changed so it now converts a third of the
maximum health to mana, rather than a half.
- The power cost for Athletics Puissance has been lowered.

Penned by My hand on the 17th of Roarkian, in the year 145 CE.


Thanks Terenas. sad.gif
Ashteru2006-04-26 16:22:39
Change surge so that you can say the amount it converts from mana to health....that change makes me sad...
I mean, the average mage is far tankier than me...-.-
Narsrim2006-04-26 16:29:28
So like, what is the point of having sprint now? And brainbash needs changed to smite down ninja.gif

Aside from that, yay! No more behead through serpent.

To travel through multiple rooms in a single direction instantly? It will be sad to see the insta-run up Avechna's peak gone, but you can't make out the ability is useless.

Being able to avoid certain rooms is still going to be handy.

You look off to the west and dash speedily away.
Starlit and snowy forest.
A thrumming of power in the ground resonates from a war shrine of Lisaera
nearby. Snowflakes float down around you, colouring the world white. Breaking
through the dimensions, a planar rift slashes through the air here. Reaching up
as high as the eye can see looms the awesome presence of a living totem. There
are 2 frost hags here. A mature hornbeam tree stands proudly here.
You see exits leading east and southwest.

mature oak tree stands proudly here. Veradin, Munsia, The Kamikaze Champion is
here. She wields a glittering seraphic tower shield in her left hand and the
Ancient Cudgel of Glinshari in her right.

...Brainbash is smitedown already? huh.gif
Xenthos2006-04-26 16:37:14
And the surge change does seem rather off.

Which I did, indeed, say when Terenas was mentioning that he was considering putting it into his envoy report.

I guess I need to envoy changing it back next time around. rolleyes.gif
