I would have to say AP concerns have to be one of the most consistent post. Wait about two weeks, there'll be another one, with everyone giving their opinions on how to make the class easier, less annoying or what have you. I love APs to death. The evil essence and all that. They are difficult to play, and maybe they should be. If it was easy to get a lich there would be twenty of them running around with corpses everywhere, and while that would be amusing for the first five seconds, certainly it would get boring. Now think to some of the more successful APs that have been around. Make the APs easier to play you have twenty of them running with a ton of bricks for a weapon. Then their pk range will pretty much consist of other APs looking for charges because everyone else hightailed it as soon as the first one logged. I'm not saying I totally disagree with you. I think the new charge system could use some good tweaking and have said so since it was first implemented. The suggestion of keeping 50% of the charges if a weapon is sacraficed sounds real nice if you're an AP, but not too good to anyone else. I'd say the major issue with APs has been the ease of disarming and sacraficing their weapons, which as far as I can tell has been taken care of. Gang-banging...grow eyes in the back of your head and keep them open at all times. Everything else is a matter of preperation and caution. Except the charges anyway. I'd say a different solution would be instead of no charge give a partial charge. A half or third, and when you get the other half or two-thirds, there, full charge instead of none. Just my thoughts.
