#7901, "The class in general"
|
Is in need of a revamp. I've played 3 or 4 ap's, two that got up to unholy blessing (Aethomyr and Myrsus, neither of them particularly memorable). Essentially what it comes down to is playing a warrior with no specs and the ability to use aura/shield/barrier wands. Yes, that his a horrendous oversimplification of the career of an ap, but that's essentially where they're at their best and for the most part how you get charges. With Aethomyr I got a few smooth deafen/worldbind related kills and tricked people into some good summon traps, but for the most part it was rely on the overpoweredness and availability of barrier/shield/aura/stone skin or bash down the newbies. With the exception of Tikar and Yathiente I have not seen any ap of repute that hasn't been a mostly bandwagon scion whose character creation happens to coincide with times when Scion has plenty of heroes showing up on a regular basis... and we all know Yathiente was a tremendous coward. Yea, they can all bitch about how awesome they were hunting solo, but I didn't see any of them in times of Sylvan/Fortress/Rager power when there were only a few scion heroes showing up sporadically. I wouldn't really blame them either, being on your own and charging up your axe to any serious level without dying is horrendously difficult if you aren't bashing newbies or ganging people and then laying low or not showing up at all in times of big pk danger. My only suggestion is that the class be further pushed in either the warrior or mage direction. Have them lose sleep (definitely not summon though) and for the love of god give them spellcraft if you want them to be any sort of semblance of magic users at the higher ranks where saves are for the most part pretty high. Maybe alter their spell repitoire a bit to give them a bit more finesse in their battles. Conversely, they could be altered to more of a warrior direction. Give them some subtle improvements to tanking (it really is pathetically sad)... maybe not as big as dodge but maybe an improvement on shield block or parry or something. Additionally, maybe give them something like the orc's enslave ability for some ability to rescue and a little extra damage. Finally, give them something that lags through protections with the moderate effectiveness of something like pincer. Just some thoughts, I think i've killed enough time now...
