Warriors already dominate the tank business. Anything that needs to be adjusted needs to be adjusted for all melee classes. Something like this is only going to widen the gap between warriors and other tanks and semi-tank classes. That gap is big enough as it is. -Lorgan ------------------ The Lord ...

Seems to me that there was provision for this kind of balancing made when the muds combat engine was revamped. Dial down the spells, dial up the skills and melee. There's nothing wrong with a mage being as powerful naked as clothed. Magic shouldn't depend on your sleeves. -Lorgan ------------------ ...

I've played a level 50 paladin and a level 50 warrior both this wipe, and as it stands now warriors rock paladins so hard their teeth rattle. There are enough disadvantages to mounted combat in terms of where and how you can/can not use it to make up for its advantages. The difference between human ...

Headbutt is a great skill, the damage was upped once already and just plain rocks. There's no other skill out there that does what it does. I would agree that the KO duration is a little long. It should last a minute or two at most. Right now it seems to be about 10 minutes. Does a professional boxe...

Good point Treladian, but those are very specific cash sinks for very specific classes, as are quest cash sinks. Rogues and Rangers have to spend a lot of cash to keep themselves in potions and arrows, and if you put in eq quests that take 10k plats then sure that's a cash sink if you want that eq, ...

This is the other variation that can be used if you have too, it works on most weapons as well, but by no means all.

Warriors are a very well rounded class, if a little mundane and boring. Especially for that stretch between levels 20 and 40 where you get exactly no news skills to play with. If anything, I'd like to see specialization put in for warrior defense/offense skills, just to add some variety. That said, ...

The idea of giving rogues ranged abilities is a remnant from Soj2, and I think this far in the beta we can agree that rogues simply don't need ranged weapons of any kind.

Paladin aging was a neat idea when paladins where actually usefull, IE early in the wipe. But the defensive downgrades and elementalists have just about killed them back to the status of a novelty rp class, and they do more hitting than tanking, and they suck at both. Paladins are so seriously outcl...

I use a modified set of Jorus' previous version of these triggers to do exactly that Sarvis. However, it's easy enough to make a generic fumble trigger that will grab whatever weapon you are using.

In terms of rare hunting, only allowing a one time change would prohibit that. Especially if it were restricted to out of the way towns and outcast areas like vp. Why?

Play a rogue up to zoneable levels sometime and spend hours practicing sneak and hide before you start commenting on rogue skills please.

Hide wasn't broken before, and it's not now. Sneaking and hiding being separated wouldn't do very much to stop a saavy rogue, just slow them down a bit. If you want to shut a rogue down, there are creative, zone builder oriented ways to stop rogues. But I don't think sneaking past a grid or two brea...
