Spell overhaul?

Some of you may remember a pretty long time ago when Albion received what was at the time said to be, "the first of the spell revamps for all three realms."

There was a major patch where a LOT of spells in Albion were completely re-thought and changed accordingly by whatever standard Mythic was wanting to set. At the time, they told us each realm would receive the same treatment and spell review, as well as a general overhaul.

Where did the spell overhaul for Midgard and Hibernia go? Did Mythic just hope we would forget about this? I have a feeling most people have, but I just thought I'd get everyone's thoughts on the matter.

I know this is pretty much a dead issue, but I think if you promise something to your community, then deliver to one realm, you should follow through and give it to the other two. This is a question I will definately be asking at the Roundtable in Göteborg.

As a result this has lead to Albion beeing stupidly overpowered and Hibernia/Midgard groups dont really stand a chance in open field combat anymore. Is this really fair?

Keep mythic away from my realm :twak: I would sooner let a rabid child doped up with jellybeans a line of charlie and some vodka play with my spells than let mythics nice ordered decisions affect me. Mythic where balance comes last before breaking something :)

well on a serious note they would redo all melee styles, they never did that :p

like 3-4 months ago they asked people to give suggestions about style changes, they never did anything with it except the small changes (after which they'd completely redo all styles)

I kinda agree with Meaniemental about hib should get ae zephyr to compensate with all the crap they put up with. I read about a suggestion about ae slam, if mid could get that to be able to compete more in fg vs. fg-combat I wouldnt mind.

Seriously Mythic should stop revamping all the graphics and graphics engines and to take a look at our concerns. Really did everyone really really want to have new graphics or would most people prefer to have the styles taken a look at and made more useful or how about the spells taken a better look at and updated maybe some new ones added in different specs for different classes.

:wij: Of course we want the new graphics before we attempt to balance things. So arguement is kind of dead mythic does not want to work on anything they can not sell to us they do not want to add content without us paying for it and they most certainly do not want to play around with spells and styles that we won't pay for. :cheers: Thats the system i feel is in place and that they may eventually do a review probably down the pub when they are plastered up and can come up with something completely useless and add it in without thinking.

well to add something to the original subject.

Lifetap spells are on the wrong damage table. Sure it's a problem, as lifetap is the only base DD+effect, but it's still on the same dmg table as baseline DD + DD+effect + AE DD and why didn't hib get a lvl 50 base lifetap? Therefore the spec DD+lifetap has its own dmg table, which is higher than other DD+effect spells.

Both, Hib and Mid only have useless spells in their special pet-class line, where Albion has a lot more utility there.

Theurg line had a try to get augmented, why didn't the Mentalism line get such a boost (working as intended they said, lazy I say)?

Bedazzling (chanter, light) has no ae interrupt spell like the other 2 light lines, since debuffs don't interrupt anymore.

Why is there no spec DD in the void and runecarving line?

Why has runecarving base DD such a high casting time?

Why have Champion debuffs such a low range?

Why have bonedancers a 4sec recast insta lifetap, BUT why is it on same timer as the other debuffs? (although the dmg table for the insta lifetap should be applied to all base lifetaps)

Why is the pathfinding line still total crap? (oh and believe me, I was 46 PF, so I know what I'd talking about, not just yelling what others claim to know and I did a lot of tests with the dmg add)


that's what I can come up with atm, can ask them about all this at Roundtable =)


EDIT: watch my sig =) that says all about what I expect....

while meaniemental rly must be an avatar of the mythic balance deity(i mean, he has such insane insight), the aoe-slam thingy was sumt that some alb-retard suggested giving to friars or armsmen(dont remember) wouldnt mind it on my zerker though, such stress to get off my stun style aoe-slam is nothing more then what we deserve ^^

I would NEVER have thought that ziva would delete my not only evil, but wholly inappropriate and satanic post.

(not talking about it wont make it go away dear)

tell you what they need to look at cast speeds. its like mages running around being able to nuke for say 500-600 with 0.8 sec cast speeds meaning once they lock and load their target is in for world of pain.

for some unknown reason they wont give the same advantage to melee (or bow) with this fooking 250 quick cap.

the comparative damage over time now between nukes and melee (or bow) has totally swung in favour of the mage. (its always was in their favour, this was fine but its unbalanced atm)
