Mid gets another 'Thane' class

[Spix]

Dont trust whatever mythic say in the class descriptions...

"DAoC Official Short Description:

Hunters are efficient fighters, who additionally get the ability to charm and control wild animals, as well as track and use bows. They can also shapeshift into animal form at higher levels. Skadi welcomes dwarves into her ranks, although still shunning the troll."

Say nothing about stealthing but claim we can track and shapeshift none of it is for real...

Minstrel

"DAoC Official Short Description:
Although not a spellcaster in the strict sense, the Minstrel has songs that perform many of the same effects. He can also use weapons and armor. Rogues become Minstrels by joining the Academy."

Nothing about stealthing.


What im getting at is that just because mythic doesnt say anything about stealth it is not impossible one of the new classes get it.

Also the petspam part... the double cast may be just a petspam ability who knows.

Wait and see.

It's always funny to see people judge classes by a 2 line description of roughly what they do..
Warlock 2x castspeed : continuously interrupted caster according to some people. Well, you have no idea what kind of spells they have. Maybe they can combine a damage spell with a interrupt-reduce buff.
No petspammer : who knows, because it's not in the description it may not be their main feature but it can still be an integral part of the class.

You have no idea what the cone aoe spell on the valkery does, no idea what kind of styles it has, no idea if the specific classes have spells that concern pets or stealth.

Wait and see until you know a little more before you whine about it

yeah it´s like judging the classes by reading the description in the DAoC manual or the weapon desciption on the Beamer in PS (formely the most gimpy wep in the game and it says it has "high" damage on ps webbie :kissit: )

And what will be the base class for the Valkyrie?
Probably not Viking since then she should be able to use hammer, axe, sword and have parry since all Vikings get that at lvl1... And mid already have five Viking classes.

Rogue can use sword at lvl1.. hunters get spear at 5, sb get to use shield at 5...
Spear lvl50 style changed to trigger of evade style in 1.72.
All rogues get stealth at lvl1..

My speculation: A melee class with some sort of magic abilities and stealth.

Can only hope

 

[Spix]

and the mythology say Warlocks are able to summon Demons, so maybe that is the petspamming we are praying for or like sorcerers (warlocks are male sorcerers) be able to charm monsters...

...

 

[Skilgannon]

Sounds fun. I'll be playing one.

 

[Danya]

Huh? Warlocks are male witches... Sorcerer is the male form - the female is sorceress.

 

[Yussef]

May also get new base classes like Forester's and Disciples etc.

 

[Ormorof]

not fair

i only want valkyn trolls or kobolds

norse suck, dorfs are fat and frosties are just... wannabe kibbies

 

[Fana]

Well we can always hope that the descriptions have left out petspam/charm and stealth etc, but seeing as mythic knows these are the big concerns of the midgard population i dont see why they would leave out such info - they would get a much more positive response and generate more interest from mid players (and non-midplayers, which was the whole purpose of giving alb only one class and hib and mid an extra "special" class) to keep playing their realm (and thus not ending their subs etc).

 

[Bubble]

People shouldn't whine so early
Hyrids are quite nice in NF

These new class's might be really good..your just have to wait and see

 

[Escape]

Mids needn't worry, both classes are going to be overpowered fotms.

There isn't enough "one button action" for midgard anymore, so the Valkyrie will rectify that. Think of instant CAE spells, which interrupt all targets in view. Different spells on different timers and Midgard will be "balanced" again!

It's nice that you don't need to target anyone before casting, prevents mids from targeting people behind them and zerging VN with whines about the difficulty of the class.

 

[Nalistah]

mythic are retards :/

thats what i was thinking !!11
mid needs a stealthed stun class.
if the 'rumours' about banshee and vampiir are true, i can imagine banshee being similar to the valkyrie (cone shaped scream shout things, anyone?)

 

[Balbor]

i don't think any COA DD spell with be any more powerful than a normal single target DD shout seeing as its hitting as many target as in the area. Probably be some CC spells, and Debuff spells in there as well.

 

[Elec]

I think it sounds like a fun class.. Cant wait

 

[Rookiescot]

Strikes me that every new class brought into the game has knocked the shit out of class/realm balance so far.
And by my understanding Mythic have created extra new classes for Hib and Mid in order to bring the NUMBER of classes in each realm to parity.
However does this means that Hib and Mid will now have MORE abilities than Alb?
If the idea here is to give Hib and Mid the unique abilities currently only found on Alb classes will Alb classes get Hib and Mids unique abilities?
Does this mean that Alb classes will be retro fitted with the new abilities?
Dont get me wrong here .... I'm not saying what Mythic are trying to do is wrong. If they are at last trying to balance the various realms and class abilities then I think that is to be applauded.
But if the new Albion class is to have the Hib/Mid unique abilities wont that make that single class a bit over the top?

 

[Darksword]

COA would mean u affect more people the further away from them you are right?
this would mean that for the spells 2 b effective the valkyrie would have 2 b standing a bit back from the combat? so then couldnt get close 2 melee?

after thinking about it for a while i still think this class will b fun 2 play, and would b fun if it was a stealther too with strong nukes and weaker melee (wasnt there plans for a hib stealthed caster, couldnt they have changed it 2 mid?) i,e, imagine popping on 2 casters, spamming CAO and maybe some form of CC? <Shrug> maybe im just really hoping mid get summit cool

lol, removed what was a cone on the text window thing

 

[Spix]

Huh? Warlocks are male witches... Sorcerer is the male form - the female is sorceress.

Your right, but still, Warlocks could summon demons, and if you look at other rpgs that have a warlock class (wow) they are some sort of pet class.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Once again....

"Here you go, have a candy bar."

Waaaaah! It ain't a snickers bar! It doesn't have nuts! It doesn't have this and that and blah blah blah...

Every single time something new is given, people complain and moan 'till the Darkness Falls is their again.

Then when they change what people say is wrong, other people whine and dine with the b*tch brothers.

Jesus...no wonder mythic don't give a f*Ck about "class inbalances"(using the term loosely) when they have to deal with 5 year olds.

 

[civy]

Hybrid sounds like the way to go. NF is predominately keep fights but, some open rvr is starting to return. Caster/Melee can play a part in both. Probably mythic’s thinking.

 

[Heath]

I still dont understand how anyone can say the Alb gets all the loving just cos we got a char first !!!...how on earth did you come to the conclusion that just because it is first it is the most thought out and loved....sounds like the most rushed to me. Zealot...hybrid hitter/healer, i can really see myself running off to make one of those !!!....i already have one totally unloved char (armsman), don't want to get myself another. best bet for me is getting my scout and sorc up to 50 (which i have had since day 1...about 2.5 years now, just not played them as much) so i can at least do something in NF.

 

[Balbor]

Your right, but still, Warlocks could summon demons, and if you look at other rpgs that have a warlock class (wow) they are some sort of pet class.

maybe they have a ritual summoning kind of spell which summons different types of demons depending on what secondary spell they use.

 

[Frealaf]

Depending on the range and spread of the cone, the Valkyrie could be the ultimate anti-stealther, even more so than the Reaver. Just aim in the general direction of the stealther and blast him/her out of stealth!
