Which is funny really, given that covens are their thing, and they're based on a real-world thing that's all about standing together, not alone. (Of course, with a rubber duckyfae entourage, you're never really alone.)

No.. Just no.

I would like Battle and Aggressive to deal more damage. Battle, against an undeffed opponent, did an average of 125 damage at level 10.

Also, note that all beast commands are supposed to require equilibrium, but not consume it. I have bugged the handful of abilities that I have, so keep that in mind.

I really wanted reflections to help me with bashing vs. mobs that shield, but given this requirement and the mana cost it is largely prohibitive. I am certain that someone could find a way to use it to great effect PvP, but otherwise it is very situationally limited.

Bodyguard with DMP would probably be better, too, because I was hoping that it would help with bashing, but I am out 200 trains for an ability that is pretty much useless to me.

Also, some limited method to do something with mis-spent trains related to that previous statement.

Agreed. Right now beasts don't do much damage at all, and I'd kind of like to see them be a little more versatile for bashing purposes.

As it is now, the beasts can't attack mobs. I'd settle for that as well.

Note: This is how it was last I checked...it may have changed since then

I was replying in general, not entirely to you. And alot of people seem to think affliction classes are fine.



What afflictions do I currently really use? You do know I am a bard right? Then again what afflicting ent do I walk around with? A familiarsting tarantula?

And OMG its a Xavius

Being blunt and short, you were an awful Wiccan. Wiccans could kill any class prior to beastmastery coming out. Since then, beastmastery aides it immensely. The speed nerf hurts, but it is managable.

@Xavius problem isn't passive web, but -active- web as a passive (meaning you can choose when to use it and you can be off bal/eq)

If that's actually possible (I haven't tested it with web specifically, but it doesn't work for beast skills in general), that's a bug.

There's almost no passive abilities in Beastmastery, nor do I think we want them. There's a special balance for ordering beasts and you need equilibrium and balance (but don't use either). If that's not the case with web, then that is indeed a bug.

...you must be getting old. It works with every skill I've tried, granted that's only been beast web, beast heal, and beast sleepbreath. That's why they have beast balance. You can use it whenever you have beast balance and you order them specifically what to do and when.

Only beast heal can be done off normal balance/eq.

The point is that while not passive in the sense of swarm, it's on call, and you can swing right afterwards, meaning warriors can use it to set up their beheads or whatever.

It's also not passive in the sense of dissolve. You can't, like, web the person who just summered out of vines to keep a saplock going. You can web+behead, but you can also writhe+walk away. You can't stun, paralyze, behead, and then web when you see you didn't get enough time. Really, the most notable use I can think of for it is web+wrack. It essentially removes the prone requirement for the skill, which is awesome. It's also not crazily overpowered if you can't web freely every ten seconds all fight long.

I was jk, you win.
