One last item that I forgot to put in my previous post: remort cleric classes. I'm not sure how alchemists have been affected by the 1 spell to a potion rule… if there were more changes to combine or whatever, but it's also quite obvious that rangers are the best choice for remort cleric class as well. Alchemists get the brewing/scribing stuff... which, like I said, I don't know the degree of nerfage to that, and... recharge?! you tell me the last time you used a wand, because I'll tell you I've never used one when I haven't been goofing around :P And I've been told that adept is awful as well, although I'm not sure... in helpfiles, light shroud, glorious bolt, and avatar shield all seem pretty nifty. (unless they don't work as they appear to...)
-
Adept is as useless as tits on a bull. Glorious bolt takes forever to cast and ONLY works on a vampire and doesn't even that that much damage. In the time it takes to cast, you can cast two fireballs and do much more damage.
I have no idea what Avatar Shield is supposed to do. It's obvious that it doesn't act like a shield so you don't have to wear one. It adds 3k some points to 'unknown', so that explains alot.
Light Shroud? Eh. What's the point. Sanctuary does the same exact thing except it has a reduced damage affect.
Turn undead. Hahaha, you just made me laugh. Lets just say that going Adept was an enourmous mistake.
-
Ok, on Adept.. I'm afraid I don't have Glorious Bolt yet, but I'm told it has crappy damage for all that it takes (casting time, mana, etc..). Light shroud I think does work.. but I don't ever fight much undead… is there a way to find out if something is? Oh yeah, and Light Shroud lasts for a grand total of 3 hours and can't be cast in combat. Whoop-dee-friggen-doo. Avatar Shield I don't think works... unless it's supposed to show "modifies (unknown) by -10440" And I'm still completely clueless as to what Exorcism and Turn Undead do.
-
oh yea, and back to Warlords, Bind is the tit on a bull and leadership is the pimple on that tit.

Well, thanks to some indirect advice from someone who never says her opinion **eyes her**, I'm not going to let myself get all uptight and rage-ful, whatever happens, happens…
If I had my choice though, I would make no improvements to either druid nor crusader. Those are the two classes that I see to be most powerful and unbalanced at the moment, __especially__ druid.
-
For most of what I said i was basing it on the help files for what the skills were supposed to do. Apparently thought, alot of them don't do that. When using combine I can't combine potions of the same spell. If i try to combine 2 heal potions, one of them just dissapears and the other is still a regular heal potion. Havent tried 2 diff spells recently, so not sure about that.
-
You can't have anymore than one spell to a potion anymore, under any circumstance.
-
which totally kills the alchemist skill of combine, i want my pracs back :P

combine is such a piece of shit now.
look at this
You are carrying:
a potion of haste
a potion of cloak of guile
( 2) an empty vial
a potion of heal
(Glowing) (K) A Black Velvet Bag
(Glowing) (K) A Red Velvet Pouch
(Glowing) (K) End of Existence
(Glowing) (K) Evil's Maw
(Glowing) (Gold Aura) (K) NetherRealm Nexus
(Glowing) (K) Unholy Puzzlebox

SpuNK! <4163hp 4972sp 3300mv 24
SpuNK! <4163hp 4972sp 3300mv 24 comb po 2.po
You can only combine items which have the same spells.
That in itself makes the skill useless…but get a load of THIS
This is a single heal potion not combined..
SpuNK! <4163hp 5005sp 3300mv 24 cast id po
You begin to speak the words of the spell...

After combining it with another...

You combine a potion of heal and a potion of heal.
You have completed your casting.
Object 'potion' is type potion, extra flags none.
Weight is 1, value is 0, level is 0.
Fragility is Normal, condition is 100%. It has been repaired 0/5 times.
It is made out of glass.
Contains level 90 spell of: 'heal'
This potion has 3 remaining charges.
So basically i combined two 120 potions of heal into one level 90 potion of heal with the same amount of charges...USEFUL :P

Wow. I've always known that my Dragon breaths suck. I did not, however, know __just how bad__ they were. Me and Kongol tested out breath lightning to see how it fared at taking advantage of the vulerability of a titan. Lightning bolt did 400 damage with sanc on. With sanc on, breath lightning did 100 the first time and the most I did to him was 150\. … Breath lightning, one of the defining skills of Dracon/Dragon .. is worse than a level 3 spell, and one of the simplest in the game. This is a disgrace to the races (referring to Draconian and Dragon) and is just absurd. I think both are in severe need of an upgrade, but at the least, give Dragon a lot more damage for breaths.. since after all they are the pure form, not the watered-down half-human form.

I think we should create a sticky topic where we, the players, post out balance issues and problems with skills and spells so that Syn doesn't have to go searching for them. Organize, organize, organize!

This thread has, to some extent, become that.

Bad way to report problems. You remind me of someone who doesn't vote, then bitches about the election results. The skill will be fixed regardless for other people's sake, but you would have a much better time playing if you were civil about things.
> I think we should create a sticky topic where we, the players, post out balance issues and problems with skills and spells so that Syn doesn't have to go searching for them. Organize, organize, organize!
I agree with this one. If we can create 5-6 general categories (i.e. pk issues, skill issues, race issues, and a few others, I would be much more effective at fixing these problems.

I have a pretty good time playing, and if I wanted civility I would have chosen a pious race :P
