Massive obscene change

Postby moritheil » Thu Feb 20, 2003 3:27 pm

Remove stoneskin; turn dscale into stoneskin as it is now. Move displace up to 9th circle or so as well.

Adjust warrior hps so they can reach 4k. (They'll need it to survive long enough for a heal to hit.)

Flame on!

Heh, Mori..

Warriors used to tank just fine with only stone and their current hps. They're skills were lowered (and the zones made more difficult) over the years as the buffs were made stronger. Even when elementals were en vogue for a while warrior were still doing quite a bit of tanking. A 9th circle displace in addition to stone would be an improvement over what they used to have. And hey, maybe the casters would actually have to be on the ball. I like your idea.

In agreement, but not with the hps...

What is this going to accomplish except making enchanters even harder to level up?

Umm wouldn't it be simpler to just remove dragonscales, essentially that's what your suggesting. Although I assume the purpose of remove stoneskin was so that Shaman and Mentalists lose the spell entirely.

If stone and displace were gone except at high levels, they'd have to bring warrior skills back up to a level where they could actually tank without those spells. Isn't that what you want? ;)

Yeah, that would probably do the trick. Probably would be sufficient to leave stone where it is though. Making displace weaker and removing dragonscales would go a long way towards allowing the immorts to make tanking skills more useful. It would definately render enchanters useless. See, another problem caused by splitting up the sorceror class... :)

Someone group with Mori -- he has WAY too much time to think about things.

If the stoneskin spell is what makes or breaks you as a shaman, you should consider a different class.

Mmm. Well, alternately, you could keep the stoneskin spell in and just have it be a different kind of utility. For example, instead of acting to absorb hits/damage it could act as some kind of improved armor spell, the way barkskin does.

Probably going to get flamed for this...

Dragons as I would remember had high resistance to magic and what not no? So keep stoneskin as it is, and why not make Dragonscales help with the saves. It wouldn't take away from GRP, but complement the cleric, since it could reduce the damage you would take from area spells, breath, etc. Hence the magic resistence from being like a dragon. Oh if the spell already does do this... then nevermind my errant post.

I like the idea, but i think acestral shield protects against areas/breath but in a different way...think it absorbs damage rather than gives you more saves. If this was imp'd i would push for it only being helpful against dragon breath and not areas also.
