I'd say 2004

 

[Apathy]

Patch 1.59c will be something like

its a nice patch, nothing uber for albs when u think about it, but it certainly gives us some new tactics to try out.

versatility is the key word here, and they finally gave the sorcerer a good reason to spec pure support.

also u got to support the fact they didnt just go and wack a insta mezz on the sorc, they actually trying to get some kind of trade off between the realms here.

 

[Simius]

My 2 copper...

It is blindingly obvious that albion has had the worst CC for some time. People who state otherwise are frankly just plain wrong . As a sorcerer, I did not and do not want an insta-mezz, its far too overpowering as it is, by making the sorc effectively mez immune we finally might be able to do something. Also keep in mind that to do this we will have to spec to stupidly high mind level, and lose pretty much ALL serious damage capabilities. Any hib or mid who demands this spell should remember that we are the only realm without a useful insta cc.

I rolled a sorc to be a useful support class, and was reduced to an apprentice wiz/cabby (depending on spec ). Now I will finally have the chance to do what I wanted. I just hope and pray this makes it through to the live servers.

One last thing, hands up any sorc, or anyone who knows a sorc that ever specced above 44... No, I didn't think so. I'm expecting a sorc respec option in this patch, if not then if you want my mez buffs you'd better get me a respec orb

1.57 is here 21 feb
1.59 wont take that much longer

2000 range unmezzable pets? Now that sounds better hehehe

Sorc getting luv wooot...

Btw so if all realm got POT, where´s the special about hib getting 2 x POT being magic realm and mid got uber end regen being melee realm?! Ofc Mythic will need a bat hit on their head to realize things... prolly some alb did that so now they got luv...

:wall:

 

[old.Xanthian]

They are called Grovewoods, Wildfire, they heal and chain root too

 

[old.Wildfire]

Dont make me start on stun pls ^^


And I can already imagine being able to throw tons of pets with sorc powerbuff hrhrhr!

 

[old.Wildfire]

*cough* confusion kills theurg pets *cough*

...you can stop whining about them now btw

 

[Novamir]

AM is already Ameliorating Melodies, Bard RA ^^

 

[kirennia]

not many comments bout the whole clerics luvin here then?

Just happy to see that clerics will now be more powerful then they ever were before...mwahahahaha

1.50....cleric smite dmg lost 20%, however, heal range was increased and resists added to enhance line

However, 1.59 makes the stun have further range also AND the smite goes from 4 second to 3 second cast...thats a 25% benefit back.

Do the maths and figure out, all those inactive clerics cause of the buffbot nerf will b rerolling back to smite again aaaaand back to square one with clerics

Still, I don't care, I wont b changing my spec (not that I did anyways), will just enjoy it as it comes

(think thas right, not sure tho cause of loadsa movement of smite spells through lvls of smite etc etc......spinny)

 

[old.Wildfire]

albs dont use ameliorating melodies very often nova :doh:

 

[Novamir]

ah, guess you never played on pvp server :great:

 

[old.Outlaw]

I really don't understand why American Theurgists have been moaning so much, we already RoX, nm now we can RoX even m0000.

PS: Chipper......nvm

u wish ^^

 

[Salazar]

I bet theurgs spirits can still be confused to death and what kinda thing is this groupmezreduction thing? Will it disappear when the poor sorc gets nuked like he should?

 

[Release]

Should make things more challenging I hope.

ps: f**k off with your stupid overpowered GAM sh*t (hmm has a nice tone to it )

 

[bellum]

Mythic has promised that they are giving respec to classes that they are changing.

So if they tells the truth then we should be given free respecs.
Or maybe they only ment when they nerfed


<Excalibur Albion> <First Cohort>
Bellum - Theurgist Level 50
Dhs - Wizard Level 50
Musket - Minstrel Level 24
Spi - Infiltrator Level 20

velly good, i am really happy for poor albs. Moral: whine more and you'll get it.

Now albs, tell us, that you will stop zergin
really doubt it..

Theurgist Changes

- Theurgist elementals can no longer be rooted or mezzed.

- Theurgist Confusing Gust line has had its radius raised to 350.

- Increased range of Theurgist summons to 2000

w00t !!!

3 things still need to be done IMV...

-Range of the air mezz needs increasing (I'm earth and even I think this should be done)

-Pets should last longer / appear at target (who bothered with CC when u can out run them?)

-Earth spec needs a new spell to make it have some decent capabilities, other than PBT. As Theurgs are supposed to be THE siege class of Albion (look at class titles as you level up), a GTAoE or PBAoE would be best suited.

But I doubt the second one will ever happen... hopefully the third, else I'll be looking for a respec stone when I hit 50.. earth spec is boring in RvR.. it might be good for the rest of the group, but its boring as hell to play.

Dunno how the calculation was derived (still trying to work it out but can't...too much wine) but the reckoning is that:

Determination4+AOM3+base 26%+cleric/friar buff+new buff =99% mezz time reduction possible for Mercs/Armsmen = WOOT!!!!!!!

det 4:
0.4*duration
AOM 3:
0.91*duration
items + cleric buff:
0.5*duration
new buff:
0.74*duration (at 49 mind btw... that's one gimped-for-anything-else-sorc)

0.4*0.91*0.5*0.74=0.13

so its an 87% resistance not 99%

the sorcerer himself can become immune though... (if specced full mind ... but that makes kinda sense not that you mezz sorcs anyway - you stun them and brutally maul them with spears/nukes)

heh it didn't stop the hibs alas

oh well

we'll no longer need to bring 4 groups to do the job of 2 though...

that said it's not the end of the world for CC.

its an additional 26% reduction (assuming it stacks with determination?) for everyone but the sorcerer (who can become immune to mezz if they sacrifice all damage and their aoe root)
but it only works whilst the sorcerer is alive - so stun the sorc, wait 5 seconds, _then_ instamezz

the best thing about it is - the fight is no longer clearcut.

You'll have to do something other than cast mezz, insta amnesia mid cast, clear up.

New abilities always sound overpowered/overpowering when you first see them. They're nice but they're not gonna make 1fg FC suddenly wipe out 4 groups of LA unless they have stupid amounts of luck.

[Flimgoblin]

nah the elemental forms at the target, they come out of thin air after all

(or thin earth, or thin ice ...)

theurg TL wanted: let them mezz/root/whatever, add in an appear on target castable ele to earth spec, make the normal earth/ice ones instacast (on a 3s timer)

 

[Qte Eth]

really strange that with all this love they havent added anything fun to earth theurgs tho..
and poor sorcs wont get any rps after patch
insta death guarantee

Well, aoe mezz + aoe root + full mezzimunite would be kinda silly imho. so either 2 soso CC and some dmg or 1 good CC (QC+long duration) and mezzimunity.

The 2000 range fix benefits earth the most and air the least.

yepyep it's nice... but there's tradeoffs

I was just trying to head off the "omfg sorcs get root mezz, immunity, stackable dots and a proper nuke all at once along with an even con pet and more dex/qui debuffs than god!"
