Future Thane love?

[atos]

Copied this right of the original thread on VNboards after hearding someone talk about it on the thane borads (thrudvang.com).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Here's an idea that just came to me. Why not give thanes an ability that uses their mana to increase their weapon damage? That is, the ability is a toggle and while active this ability saps the thane's mana pool per swing, but in return increases the damage of those swings (the slower the weapon the more damage added). Perhaps it adds a strong lighting (energy) element to the weapon or some such. As long as the thane has power the ability can remain active, thus allowing the thane to have a nice boost in damage for a short time (the mana cost would have to be pretty substantial I think). True, this sounds similar to the reaver damage add, but not quite the same--no timer and no real duration so long as the thane has mana.

In any case, it was just an idea and was probably suggested before at some point. What do you all think? Oh! Give thanes Evade I as well, sheesh. My apologies if I put this in the wrong topic.

EDIT: I forgot, thanes already have a damage add. Maybe this ability would replace the current damage add, but be much more powerful since it does take mana to use (and thus probably have a much shorter duration than 20 minutes).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Seems like a pretty nice idea pretty similar to the powershield abillity on Crown of Zahur. Just with a damage add instead. What do the rest of you think?

Don't mind the edit he did. Dual damage add rocks.

Thane Idea:

Roll warrior.

would be nice to have a self buff that gives the thane a chance to Proc a 204 delv Energy DD.

Would be much better than the current 30 damage add.

 

[Pudzy]

Thanes should be nerfed more atos

 

[atos]

Less flames u c0nts no nerfing allowed! And warriors are teh sock! Where are the mods? Delete the flames!

tbh that is one of the better ideas I've seen in the years I've played. But it would be kinda fun if our melee damage add affected our spells too.

 

[Aoln]

Tbh thanes aren't that bad if you put them in the right situation, just another class that doesn't fit into leet fg v leet fg :|

MJOLLNIR xD

 

[Garok]

Still have the most fun outta all tanks in NF with ranged nuke.

 

[cougar]

thane got ae dd with higher value then rm rc dd?

 

[Oro]

Bah opened thread but nothing hot and steamy in it.

Barry White would make an excellent troll Thane I think

Now that would be a Thane Lurve Daddeh

Thanes do well if played right. Zaksoth for example and even though he's a grumbling little smelly dorf, Fafnir could dish out some nice damage on the frontier.

Compare the piety stats between them. =)

 

[Brunore]

I think Thanes will be FoTM in NF.

Det, range AE spell, dmg add, selfbuffs, slam etc...

Bl00 hammaz fortehwin!!1

[Soha]

Trollum when i find u solo and i hit u 1fg midds comes along , second time 3infils jump u ... /cry

 

[Tuppe]

well, reavers are new fotm class in NF, even hybrid.
thane has some potential but never played higher what 24 so hard to say.

 

[atos]

It might need some more love at lower lvls... but I find mine playable atleast.

 

[Bubble]

Poor Atos

You should know better than to try to get constructive answers here (Well you might get a few )

sounds like a cool idea!! but come on...you a thane...u never ever gonna get love that helps u a great deal

 

[atos]

My class is fun to play. I've never asked for it to be good. :wub:

 

[DaggerElivager]

thats my view but tbh if we ask to ake classes better..we arnt gonna get listened to they listen to mjaor whine sometimes which is why we get nerfed and cos no one whines about thanes, they stayed the same

 

[Iceflower]

>My class is fun to play. I've never asked for it to be good.

Excellent approach to the game, you sure havent caught the fotm disease

 

[Shike]

^^^^^what he (or she?) said...

My hero!

What i have said about the reaver class all along... for the past year and a half its been no RvR for me cause i was a gimpy no det tank... but i stuck at it, knowing 1 day our time would come and we would rule the realm.....and i was right


Come on Frontiers... i wanna wtfpwn



[edit] i know Thanes look at Reavers as what Thanes should of been like... but my point is the whole det tank 4tehwin thing is now pointless, dets huge nerf and the huge increase in Keep warfare make the hybrid far more viable in RvR come Frontiers. Your day shall come, might just take a while

 

[Bubble]

Hammer Time!

 

[remi]

Id like Thanes pbaoe dmg too be a chant, much like reaver fluff, and fix the BG and Casting spells things, then thanes are BACK!

 

[atos]

Agree with Remi there. BG should work while casting, same with guard.

Remaking our PBAoE to a chant would be nice but I doubt we would get it changed. I rather see a 10sec recast timer or even less and lower the damage quite abit.

Iceflower is a he fyi! :kissit:

edit: Was thane ever gone really? I don't think so.
