Why is it exactly that there is no edge that allows Felar AP to use face slash with their claws even while wielding a spear/polearm? It's hard to believe that an edge along those lines would be enough to break the game and make such a race/class combo overpowered when they're not even, if barely, competitive. Even if you were to make it so that Slasher edge worked with it. Just make it slightly more expensive than Slasher and an edge only felar can learn. I think that alone would make Felar APs more playable. But it'd be cool to hear with the official word on such an idea would be.

Use vault instead... much better damage, longer bleeding, and greater chance to lag. You will need to carefully manufacture situations where vault will work for you, but I think you'll be happier than you would with faceslash anyway.

Vault also requires a slept target (good luck with that using 17 int) or someone dumb enough to stick around for all the initial lag the AP has to go through when he types the command. And this isn't including the fact that if the victim isn't slept and you miss the fault you're screwed. Faceslash is more impromptu and just another option at your disposal.

... Kaer was a lvl 40 fire giant AP. Totally 45 charges, 31 on the weapon the the purge hit us.

I even managed to sleep a decked out lvl 43 (Or 42? Whichever was in my PK range at lvl 36) Scion Drow Transmuter past volley and stuff. But that was just luck. Next time I tried I slept my self...


Either way, sleep is a powerful spell even with 15/17 int. Just avoid doing it on higher lvl scions with scepter and higher lvl villagers with head.

Vault is completely different from faceslash.

For starters, it has massive lag BEFORE it hits.

For second, when it misses (and it will miss on awake targets even when perfected), it hurts a lot and lags you a lot.

However, faceslash... not totally convinced claws substitute for the reach of a dagger.

One day I will try a felar ap. To me, they feel doable. In fact, if you do get a fair number of charges, I believe you could take advantage of a specific weapon to pull some fairly interesting stuff.
