Same old Problems

[Balbor]

Ok i've been away from DAOC for about 2-3 months and now i'm back i still hear the same old problem in RvR. Mids and Hibs have better C/C and us Albs don't have anything that can match it- no instent AOE mezz, no instent AOE stuns. Minis that have a crap AOEmezz thats not worth the time to cast and cleric DPaoeMezz has a huge timer on it.

also on my wish list are.

Instent mezzes and stuns, and a group purge spell (either Sorc or Mini)

Smite spec line should be improved- cleric seem to be the only healer class that is encuraged not to spec in there unique line.

Air Spec line improved, Thurgys description says that they specalise in the elemet of Earth but they there unique line is Air, somethig not right there. Make your mind up Mythic is it Earth or Air??

Sorcs get bolt range AE mez soon :x

lol.. someone got out of bed on the wrong side =)

Welcome Back To Albion

Air Theurgs are... very good. They don't need anything added to them at all. Earth theurgs need looking at

Minstrel AE mes is going to be more useful when we get stealth/instrument mincers (they'll appear soonish with the improvements in minstrel stealth) who can pop up and mes from behind.

Sorc AE mes gets better and they become all but unmezzable. Yay!

Smite needs looking at, its dire atm

Talking of same old problems, none of the old bugs are fixed (trade bug etc.) and instead mythic have kindly given us a whole new shitload of bugs - a useful command box except it doesn't work all the time, training bugs to name a few.

Hahahahahahaha *cough* *choke*

I'm a stealth/instruments minstrel now and I can tell you it's not a useful tactic. By the time you've hit stealth and starting moving round the back of anyone your group is dead and screaming "WTF WAS THE SOS?!"
Not to mention minstrel ae mez is the worst in the game, long casting time, low radius, poor duration.

Same old problems, indeed.

It's just a game, if you don't enjoy it, don't waste your money each month subscribing

These things are minor in the grand-scheme of things, in my opinion, but deffinitely a lot of things like ae mess in Albion need to be brought up to scratch in relation to the other realm's counterpart spells.

...what the hell,

[Balbor]

the way spells are mixed around the classes need to be fixed a bit, in reality every realm should have the same spells, with Albion as the base, all mid spells being 10% less effective and Hibs being 10% more effective (with melee damage being the other way round). Albion has too many clesses so those skills/spells are spread too thin.

At least cleric Stun range is going up

smite gets pretty good after 1.60
25% increase in DPS (and powercost) due to reduced casting times on spec smiteline





ow.

Evul.

Interestingly the new smite is actually higher dps than the old pre-nerf smite...

Greater holy fury was 219 DD, 4s cast giving 54.75 dps.
It will be 176 DD, 3s cast in 1.60 giving 58.67 dps.

I can see the nerf smite calls now.

 

[hangianix]

Aye, maybe after 2nd nerf we will have 10 mins timer on our "spring-winter season*" mezz. Btw I suggest to all smiter that respec to reju, much more grp and rp wiser. I won't respecc tho.

Big difference this time around is that cleric stun duration is reduced by resists now, so my gut feeling is that all will be fine with this now. They can't stun and chain smite as long anymore.

Besides, the yanks aren't complaining about clerics again post 1.60.

Aye, prolly 'cause you can't find any smiter on US servers

 

[old.SadonTheGrey]

It would make the power cost for smite insanely high tho

 

[hangianix]

Well, we are still using the power of the old lvl 48 smite and won't use more power than now - with 4 sec smite I can successfully hit the dead body of the enemy and use the power for the unsuccessfull spell... - with 3 sec smite I will actually hit them.

 

[Danya]

Power efficiency is about the same, they reduced the power cost when they changed the spell to level 43. Resists are a lot higher now of course which means smiters will be a lot less powerful.

 

[Balbor]

well seeing as almost everyone can get there own free instent heals are healing Rej clerics really the only way to go? BoF is gonna be what people (ok Tanks) want. I play smite, my RA compliment that and i intenend to carry on playing a smite cleric. Sit back stun people, throw the odd smite in and protect the casters with my instent AOEMezz

Hmm, I remember so that they didn't reduce it (at least not in1.51/1.52) 'cause I've read a lot of complaints about it.

i see on the US offical site Clerics get another damage buff on the Enh line and there AOEnuke has a better range
