I've thought of a new game

[Athinz]

right ok ladies and gentlemen, this is a fairly simple game to the knowledgable DAoC players, and it goes like this.

give me good ideas for specs on bainshees and reasons why, and you win
a magical fragical prize.

 

[chretien]

The 'delete Y-E-S' spec is always a winner, then roll a proper character and spec it how you like.

 

[Athinz]

due to unforeseen technical difficulties, you lose

 

[Funkybunny]

i would spec him 50 hammer 50 shield 28 parry...

 

[Equador]

Any spec not FOTM!

Oh wait, that means no Bainshee.

 

[Morchaoron]

Because the "history" the class is based upon is called Bainshee, or Bean Sidhe.

Bean Sidhe

In Irish folklore, the Bean Sidhe (woman of the hills) is a spirit or fairy who presage a death by wailing. She is popularly known as the Banshee. She visits a household and by wailing she warns them that a member of their family is about to die. When a Banshee is caught, she is obliged to tell the name of the doomed.

The antiquity of this concept is vouched for by the fact that the Morrigan, in a poem from the 8th century, is described as washing spoils and entrails. It was believed in County Clare that Richard the Clare, the Norman leader of the 12th century, had met a horrible beldame, washing armor and rich robes "until the red gore churned in her hands", who warned him of the destruction of his host.

The Bean Sidhe has long streaming hair and is dressed in a gray cloak over a green dress. Her eyes are fiery red from the constant weeping. When multiple Banshees wail together, it will herald the death of someone very great or holy. The Scottish version of the Banshee is the Bean Nighe.

Aiobhill is the banshee of the Dalcassians of North Munster, and Cliodna is the banshee of the MacCarthys and other families of South Munster.

Dunno why people whine about bainshees tbh, hey dont have stun, they dont have lifetap or a pet, they dont have insanly overpowered nukes (300/400) on single target..nothing a good old chanter can't hit for. They have a cae bolt and nuke that hits for 600~ and 300~ respectivly..not exactly super op.

 

[Athinz]

[Rediknight]

[Comos]

And why is it Vampiir instead of Vampire, if that is what those things are supposed to be anyway...

 

[Bloodclot]

guess the want bugs in names aswell.

maybe it gets fixed soon, but its hard to code it etc.
and then again, they have to translate it for EU.

 

[Void959]

Ooh I'm sorry, I assumed it wasn't a serious question as I can't see why anyone would ask it on a 'DAOC general' board when they've got sites such as http://vnboards.ign.com/Hibernia_Bainshee_Professions/b22794/ and http://daoc.catacombs.com/forum.cfm?forum=63 with hundreds of posts answering the very question.

 

[Athinz]

might appreciate the view of the EU customers and also might not know about those two sites - i.e. i would personally discuss it on FH instead of catacombs or VN

because there is mobs in hib called banshee in Bog of Cullen.
and they belong to Siabra faction who are planning to take over the Hibernia and throw hibs in to the Veil :/
