Well again, the moment you are behind you can just spam shield to reset the fight. That's not very fun to play against and I can't imagine it being very fun to play either. I would 10/10 times rather take a death and then go review the log and see w…
@Strung artifacts aren't actually overwhelming for/against most of the classes. Bloodborn are probably the only class you truly have to artimatch to fight, and even t…
There are indeed some of those abilities besides shield in existence and (you'll hate to hear this) the "plan" does include standardizing them. For example, Shamans with a 2 aff cure with no cooldown can prevent themselves from ever having affs stuc…
I don't see how your examples are different at all. Oh my mana is too low, better shield 20 times till I'm at 100%. Oh I have a huge kelp stack, better shield 20 times till I have no affs on me.
That's what the goal is. To make shielding and such depend on player skill and timing and situation awareness. Not herp derp I feel threatened time to tape down my shield button.
Indorani is a great class atm. Just suffer from not being able to power through no counter lockbreakers and unlimited aff cures like all the other lock classes.
And for the most part I think that applies to most classes. They are able to kill without artifacts, just becomes harder to. I think Bloodborn exist as the sole exception. I did have a liaison report to make the BB slash speed the same as a runed on…
Seems like the thread title is causing some outrage. Just to clarify, I think almost everyone's in agreement that SHIELDS and TURTLING are a problem in Aetolia.
BB as a class is certainly not in a weak spot, they simply suffer from turtl…
It's also random, so it does open up other strategies like going for more herb affs rather than locking ASAP to negate the effectiveness of the aff cures. 1 per 10 might make aff classes a little too hard to beat, especially if a fitness nerf were t…
2 per 10 is actually my preference, and passive curing is fine in some cases. For example, Lumis get passive curing but their aff cure is only 1 instead of 2, Templars get amazing passive curing but they have no active aff cure. Shamans would need t…
Ah yeah, Priestess/Magician also have no cooldown and heal something like 25%, so Indorani are immune to damage more or less. That's going to have to be looked at too.
That report was attempted but subsequently rejected in the last liaison round. Some are in favour of giving every class their own viable method of shieldbreaking, others are in favour of nerfing shields altogether. It kind of created an impasse of s…
Shielding's a legit strategy. There are some unbeatable aligning-of-stars circumstances where you simply have to shield to survive (old Praenomen being the biggest example of this before paresis change). It shouldn't, however, simply let you sit the…
I'm all for having a "leaders" channel with the admin in it. I find that having the liaisons channel is -amazing- in able to freely and easily ask for admin/Divine help or input on something, oftentimes not even related to liaisons stuff.
The problem with Sunder is that at 33% chance and 3.5 second balance, it takes an average of 10.5 seconds to break the shield which is pretty much worthless. Hammer tattoo isn't really a viable solution either, especially with the long balance times…
To stay true to source material, I propose that instead of vampires getting affs like dizziness in the sun we give our enemies dizziness while in the sun due to them being mesmerized by our fabulous sparkles.
@Rashar oh I'm not really giving any justification of it (I'm still not 100% sure what caused it in the first place) just giving my take on why ICly and OOCly I didn'…
On our side we thought -we- would most likely lose, so I can say we weren't expecting a roflstomp at all. Although I did end up staying up almost the entire night for it rather than going to sleep when I had planned to.
Conflict is good. Slyphians were -excited- about the war before it happened and Slyphe was even shouting goading things about it and how His Order had overwhelming numbers, which indicates that both sides felt positively about it before it happened.…
