#365, "Barrier and despoil"


          

How about making these two affects not work together. I mean the game is very balanced I think with the exception of scions who essentially get to have 2 full sets of hp gear. There has always been a massive difference in the deadliness of scion mages vs anyone else and while skill plays a part in it having the equivolent of 2 sets of gear just makes them redic.

I don't think bond hp is as much of a problem because there are ways to counter it but the only way to really counter despoil would be to horder all high level limited magical items. Or you know take the scepter but since the duration on despoil can be so long they get plenty of time with its benifits to retrieve once logged on.

I have added some tracking to see what folks are using, and what benefit they are getting from it and we'll make sure that is in line with our original thoughts on the power.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
