#1821, "Invokers - Collective paths (And even a subWarrior idea)"

So, I've had this idea kicking around in my head for some time, and I know some of you are going to say "Bah! Invokers are too powerful, blah blah blah, whine whine whine"

So, anyway, onto my "idea" as it were..

We have Affinitys now and for some time, and we've even had shared path spells which we get later on, such as air/fire to give us incendiary cloud, and the like.

My "idea" as it were, would be that if someone takes the gall to choose particular paths at say 10 in affinity.. that should they choose two particular powerful paths, that they'd be such "masters" of two (or so) respective elements that they gain the insight (after perfection of the elements) of a shared elemental power.
Examples include:

Aff 10 in Fire and Air, give you something like Vaccuum (a Quasi/Para-element) which lets you burn off the oxygen for a room (indoors only) which causes asphyxiation on anyone not shielded from air in the particular room.

Aff 10 in Fire and Earth, give you Magma, having some unknown particular affect, even to create some kind of magma stream blocking passage for people who enter a room, with them taking damage should they walk through.

Aff 10 in Fire and Water, some kind of Steam related thing (another Quasi/Para-element) with various effects.

And the list goes on.. for people who do dedicate their focus on particular elements (two I'd say) should atleast get some kind of special focus of it, to make them stand out from the other invokers.

And a similar idea I had with regard to warriors would be a shared spec combo... at a high rank, after you complete mastery of both of your weapons and specs, you'd have the ability to have some kind of shared power among the two specs (it'd open the doors for really obscure specs perhaps) such as the ability to use one weapon and then exploit your other spec at the same time perhaps.

No specific ideas/examples, just a concept I've been brewing around.
Every since weapon specs were first introduced, I'd always wanted to see further ways to encourage sharing dissimilar specs..
Because all we need in the world is another Arial sword spec, they are certainly in low circulation *grin*.

Definite drives for Invokers and also for Warriors to have some kind of mutual "Bonding" of the exclusiveness of things.

We certainly see it enough in Thieves, who if they choose utmost mastery of a particular path, they learn things others cannot.
