I've considered removing cloudcoils as they don't really fall into the same bucket as some of the other unique mechanics guilds actually depend on as a kill method. The options are fixing them, which hasn't been done via the envoy process so I'm not…

Artifact pipes are more for convenience than being fully competitive.
How do you guys feel about removing rebounding, btw?

Unfortunately we are elbow deep in the affliction transitions. The buff system was acknowledged as an opportunity for change with the overhaul before you brought it up as an issue, it has been acknowledged both my myself in this thread as well as Es…

I will say that neither are really a requirement from my experience. They are beneficial, absolutely, but not a requirement. Teas, especially, were implemented much later than the affliction framework and they have such a long cooldown that they don…

I believe the administration have acknowledged that and also proposed a specific tiered/hard cap solution following the affliction changes on a few occassions. Consider the priorities adjusted!That being said, no one with reaso…I wonder if anyone else finds the balance arguments drawn right down party lines as tedious as I do.It's important to look at balance outside of one's own experience. If you are complaining that X guild in your organization, wh…Are Delphas, Enyalida, and Lerad having a post length contest I'm unaware of? That being said, Delphas is my new favorite player for understanding the depth and difficulty of the simple word "balance."
TAs have migrated repeatedly, for the record. I don't know what it tells you, but it tells me that they TA turns people into traitors (but with no extraneous balance implications). People move organizations. It happens.
Real talk: partisan opinions aren't that helpful.Because if they don't, I will nerf their skills. Just look at Shuyin, he didn't bow and now ectoplasm is being removed. I warned him.I lurk invisibly and watch players PK. Sometimes I laugh when you die.
It wasn't meant to replace Ascendance. The bulk of Ascendance abilities are now more widely available through Domoth powers (aegis, destruction, fearaura, etc.). Basically Ascendance was split into Domoth Powers and Veneration for avatars with a …
Kelly begins to tumble towards the northeast.Everyone shame the bard for tumbling.Also: I enjoyed that log, thank you!It's difficult to respond to people that accuse you of "glossing over the fact," or "casting aside all concern," when they didn't really pay attention to what you wrote. So...I won't! Moving on.
@Enyalida: What I said was players do not alter the guts of their system mid combat, which I think is a fair generalization. Turning on pre existing clas…
Sometimes it's the wine talking. Wait, is that even a real quote?
But in all seriousness the conversation a recall was removing the cleanse cure alltogether, including some of the cleanse specific afflictions, but some o…
A lot of cleanse cures are going away. Sap is not going away, though I would like to see it converted to one of the cures. Though it would carry over cure restrictions that it currently has unless we come up with a better idea.
The niche I was referring to was tracking writhes, specifically for sap locks. Allergies may have made this a moot tactic but I'm not at the point where I want to cut off my foot in case that should change.
Exploitation…
I support converting Green/Gedulah to cure a specific afflication of the users choice for whatever decided upon power choice (3 seems to be the standard). I think power management between offense and defense is an interesting layer for dynamic co…
I don't see any issue keeping faeriefire. It may be niche but it has an important niche.I would point out that high end PKers don't usually use systems that are right out of the box, so it's not just about who buys what's system. Though I would say curing being classified as a "choice," isn't the most accurate representation because of…Envoy thing.I will also point out that there are logs both on Nogfx (I haven't checked to see if it is back up yet) and these forums of people handling Princessfarewell and Cantors. Not to say that these things disprove anything you are saying, but simply that …While I won't side with either side here, because I think it's a valid discussion, you are working off of a few faulty premises.
1) Bards are not a "support class." Every class is designed and intended to function entirely on their o…
Unfortunately incomplete logs without the big picture (offensive/defensive DMP for the parties involved. Int/cha of Raeri, etc) don't tell me much other than you take a lot of damage. It's certainly a lot but a lot of things do a lot of damage.All new afflictions will be bundled up in to groups of around 10. Spiritual currently has 11, so it's as planned. More will be added into each group as we filter through the one off "unique" afflictions that we decide we need to keep.
Spiritual afflictions are on the right side of that post.No, because Dota 2 is better.Both will definitely be addressed after the afflictions are all changed over and the kinks worked out. Resistances basically scale already through DMP but I think the plan is to move everything over to a tiered resistance/buff system with hard caps.I should note that buff stacking is on the "to-do." I, personally, want to see damage scaling at the top tiers reduced to a significant degree.Though not Cantor specific, it may, in a round about way, address some of the concerns. So do not despa…
