It needs time from me, mostly, to get the last bits for a release done and I haven't been inspired to do it in a while.

Sounds like you need some inspiration, wheres Neltouda when you need her!


Seriously though, something like that will be pretty badass when it comes out. I know i'm trying one for sure.

Can we at least change them from being called Shaman to War priests?

<nogay> Anything we can do to help inspire you? </nogay>

I'd love to see a shaman revamp.

Usually with wine and chocolate. And then *I* can motivate him.

I sense cases of wine and godiva boxes being sent to you in the near future with all sorts of random requests.

Mine would be make bards a default playable class for dark elves for example.

So, what are we looking at for that?
6 bottles?
12?
Reds? Whites? Sparkling?
Truffles? Bars?

I'm largely equal opportunity when it comes to wine, though if given a choice I'll usually go for a good strong red.

I asked Twist once if I could play d-elf bard and he laughed at me.

I also gave someone d-elf bard once and he fizzled out almost immediately - as a lot of the special combos I give out do. People tend to forget that overpowered isn't the only reason that some combos are withheld; sometimes it's because they aren't very viable. D-elf bard is kind of terrible. But if someone wanted to play it, I wouldn't mind letting them go with it. At the very least it gets a lot less of a "what will letting this happen break" kind of review than if someone asked me to play, say, felar monk paladin.

Edit - dammit now a box of mixed Godiva chocolates for dinner sounds really good.

I assume the nerfing of stats is there to prevent overpoweredness of certain combos. Would it still be in place if the combo is the opposite of overpowered?

What if the combo was not exactly terrible but just so-so?

I figured what the hell, bards get to be wood elves (clearly OP), and high elves (OP but stuck being a goodie), so why not dark elves who would make somewhat awful bards, but at least they get to be dark elves which is the fun part. And the elf skin bass drum is such a perfect D-elf instrument.

Hmmm.
Maybe a case of Coppola Claret randomly arrives at the next secret annual meeting of the CF Imms.
Maybe all the sudden bards are a selectable class when choosing D-elf.
It could happen.
I just need to find out where that secret meeting is.

>And the elf skin bass drum is such a perfect D-elf instrument.


More like orc instrument.

Orcish marching band wins CF.

Keep the mudsex in game please.

On a serious note, since I rarely play Nexus, do you guys ever role play the husband/wife/lover/whatever deal with Daevryn/Rayihn? I don't mean like mudsex while wizinvis, I mean like on cabal channel, curse each other out or something about the dirty divine dishes of perdition and such. Do players ever factor the relationship into their role play/story/whatnot?

Am I completely wacko and there isn't a relationship there at all?

Sorta! They're supposed to be one of those couples who loves hates each other so we'll bicker or canoodle on cb sometimes if we're both vis. Also we'll either pit our followers against each other or send each others followers to help each other out depending on how whimsical we're feeling. He doesn't interract too much so the reality of this isn't as game-impactful as it could be but we do bits of it here and there.

Always been curious about it. Lots of potential there. Glad to hear it gets used at least a bit. I was afraid his uncommon-interaction style meant it was never in play.

I so love shamans but they're just so one dimensional for me .

In fact I really like empowerment chars but I'm still trying to get a feel for a decent role. I've rolled 4? chars since I returned and none of them have had a role worth a damn yet.

...but I'm pretty sure Twist already did.

.

Incidentally, I got a decent chunk of what was still missing done in the last week.

We'll see if I can keep the momentum going.

I've always wanted to play a shaman, but thought the class was really bland.

I'm looking for a new empoweree to make. Perhaps I'll hold off for your newest concoction.

how will this work with existing shamans?

Read the giant post I put on announcements.
