Banelords Be Gone!

[Vladamir]

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

- The following changes have been made to the Banelord Master Level line:

All spells and Abilities in Banelord, with the exception of Primal Agony and Agony Transmission, have been changed so they no longer interrupt other players who are casting.

Primal Agony and Agony Transmission range has been reduced to 500 units.

Snaring Tendrils of Power now correctly has a recast timer of 5 minutes.

Pretty fun huh?

Is this real? :|

Best changes ever if its true.

 

[[NO]Subedai]

zerk obselete now, though these days the effects of bl's are more so important than the interupt factor, with zou/demo anyway

 

[Eleasias]

heh heh

 

[Samaroon|Terracotta]

Pathetic

"That was my sad attempt at "the funny." Please note before reading: These changes need to be tried before you comment, on both sides of the fence. The reason FOR these changes is that we are likely giving Banelord to more classes in this patch, but to do so while Banelord is so powerful would be stupid and bad for the game. Finally, please note that there will be a poll in the near future about the potential "third ML line" options. Before we do that, I'll be posting a list of the options (meaning I'll post the proposed additional line for each class). Here's the proposed changes to Banelord, and we do welcome feedback from those with detailed information from their Pendragon testing."

Poor tanks

Edit: Fuck you Aha , you were faster :<

 

[Gondath]

It is real and beyond words to describe....


Even more ironic is the fact that they say the change is needed since they are adding banelord to more classes... fair enough it would been OPed I guess, but 95% of the point with banelords anyway is interupts... They aren't just nerfing bl slightly like they seem to think, they are making the line completely useless

 

[atos]

Next nerf wwill be the removal of speedwarps and the casters and tanks are about equal again.

 

[Nosufer]

I cannot believe they are making casters more powerful with these proposed changes, they are moronic at best.

 

[Raven]

nice change, you will have to have inturupters who are on the ball rather than BLs spamming aoes

 

[Stallion]

changes daoc fg scene alot. Group setups and 'tactics' will adapt. So will you tanks.. game goes on but in a different way...

Embrace it and adapt to it.. even thou its verry bad imo..

 

[Xrystofer]

nerfing twf and no banelord what else

 

[Flimgoblin]

good change, would have probably been ok with purely the SToP change but I like it

I don't see how this is a good change ... it's already dark age of castalot ... the game should/would be moving towards dark age of tankalot it's the cycle of life!!

 

[wittor]

Now I don't even fucking want BL on my svg ffs

/agree, now will be more lifetaps noobs caster

What wittor said xEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Gondath]

No kidding... it's kinda ironic that they nerf a line in order to be able to give it to more classes without too much fuzz, and they nerf it so hard that it becomes utterly useless lol

 

[Frozensolid]

Thats quite a big change there...
It will push off the balance tanks vs casters more.
But from a nonbanelord tank vs banelord tank pov its pretty nice, it brings them more close together. (vw/svg/thane ect)

 

[Maeloch]

Can't believe this will make it live without some pain for casters too.

 

[raid]

impressive how clueless they can be, thought they wanted to make fights last longer

how does running 2 casters make it a caster group?

so true

 

[Void959]

Huge change, I don't think it was needed before they decided to give BL to more classes. The irony is that these classes won't want it nearly as much now.

 

[wittor]

Well vw/svg/thane etc will prolly all get BL now but who want a tank in the group when that thing is live and you can't interrupt? Yeah nobody if you dont run in a GG and prolly a GG will skip a tank aswell
The only reason that tanks get a spot in the group is cus the BL line interrupts. Tanks should get something new imo so they dont get "removed" from the game.

They already prefer a Tic over a Merc cus they interrupt more so guess mercs can solo now

Was just about to post something like this...I'd like to know whether Mythic decided to add ML lines to more classes, then realised they couldn't do it without unbalancing the game, then decided to nerf BL so they could give it to tanks (probably ALL the tanks now).

OR they might have been planning to nerf some ML lines and then decided it would be a good time to add a 3rd ML line to all classes, since no one line would be completely overpowering (as Banelord is now).

 

[Eleasias]

skalds/thanes/valewalkers/reavers etc etc inc to grps i reckon?

<- goes to roll skald now!
