———

And here is what I think of them all, just my opinions no need to take it as fact.

Lv52 Strengthen spirit: coming from the pet line I think this is a great addition, instant cast full heal and dispel.. meaning you can pretty much keep your spirits HP at 100% all the time. The dispel also is a welcome addition in those sticky pvp situations.. but the 2min cooldown on it won’t make it too reliable. Overall I am happy with this skill, this in my mind translates to 0 downtime in all PvE situations as well as an extra burst of HP from spirit sub… you got that right! With the new earth elemental buffed out with chanter HP and your own.. welcome to paradise. (Also I hate to spoil it but look at the level 55 skill and please feel free to crud yourself when thinking of this + spirit recovery + that skill + spirit sub. You’re welcome!)

Lv55 Command: hypnotize: I think this ability will have it’s uses. As far as the skill translation goes I don’t know why a person would want to suicide blow up their pet in order to sleep a target.. though I should add that I have NO DOUBTS that this would be useful in an isntance for CCing. But then again who the #@$% runs an instance without a perer jelly/ the spirit armor buff on the pet if they are running this build? Sounds strange to me, let’s hope this isn’t really the final stigma or I see this being replaced often.

Lv52 Sleep captive: I think we might just replace sorcs in a half decent group. 1minute intervals are pretty solid values and 20 seconds of sleep is a fair amount of time. Following the CC build in PvP I can see this allowing us to utterly FACEROLL a target with CC alone. Overall this skill definately adds onto the entire shape of the spiritmaster class. It could go for a -tiny- reduction in cooldown but hey.. 1min cooldown and we get a sleep spell? #@$% YES! Now I can sleep those cleric bastards as well.

Lv55 Curse of death – phys def -1000, all elemental def -300, magic res -200 for 1 min.

I did include the skill description here because I am going to be blunt.

Physical defence is a broken stat, and a target taking 100 more damage a shot isn’t going to change anything (well on that note I do suppose after the PvP damage nerf it would be the signifigant number of.. 50 :flames:)

Magic resistance: what is the use of this spell to decrease magic resistance if… the target has high enough mres for us to be concerned about it.. this ability would have to be physical for it’s use to be like this.

All elemental defence: if this stacks with shackle of vulnerability, then I am happy. Very happy. If it doesn’t…

Overall I think this stigma is O.K. but I don’t think that I’ll take it in place of another stigma if I had to choose. Spirit sub would definately replace this one for -ME- at least.

Now here are the skills that aren’t stigmas

Lv51 Absorb – sounds like a basic nuke ability, could be useful for burst around the same concept of weaken spirit. I see the 100% HP recovery being pretty damn useful in PvE, the mana recovery is also nice because any spiritmaster can agree with me… we are the #1 mana chuggers in game.

Lv54 Curse of darkness: Let’s see… what sort of image can I put to THIS one?

I think we all can agree this skill will make people peel off their face. Especially chanters. I like!

Lv55 Command:spirit blessing (of the boyz): combine with spirit sub, spirit recovery, strengthen spirit, stone skin, high grade hp potions, and abyss hp pots and let the wrist slitting BEGIN! :sparkles:

Also btw with the new command spirit blessing of the boys (this joke is still luls)… I guess we are priests now!

But they didn’t listen, as always.

http://www.aionsource.com/forum/aion…-magazine.html

I still say I’d pay 50$ and resub for a hhom.

http://www.aionsource.com/forum/game…alentines.html

Now do it and prosper! (Can’t do any worse now.)

More or less I have had the most crazy idea’s about this class and it’s defensive properties!

I was wondering if anyone would like to help contribute some feedback/comments on the build..

To the point:

What my goal is? Using buffs to keep my shield defence, parry, evasion, and magic defenses at maximum. Thus reducing incoming damages signifigantly!

So I already have word of protection stigma so that base is covered and I plan to use the following:

-Full Flash Leather Set.
-Courageous Shield.
-Mercy Hammer.

For the stones I plan to slot up primarily shield defence and parry (since those stones give the highest values compared to evasion/mres.). Also I plan to +10 shield so that is around -65% damage when I block.

After that I am unsure if I should stack evasion or mresistance. So far I have horrible accessories on my chanter.

So yeah.. thats about it. Neat idea I thought I’d share with everyone interested in new builds!

————-(I swear this is the discussion part of the topic)————–

Just who thinks that these threads are acomplishing much? With the multiple hhom threads spread around and I am sure we are nearing the hundreds of "ban unfair" threads… who thinks these are getting anywhere.

(I had to add that in, but we all know this thread is 9001% comedic value [attempt].)

I have a great idea for NCsoft… how about on valentines day only (special promotion) they sell in their store hot heart of magic for let’s say.. 50 bucks..!

In my opinion this would work REALLY well for ncsoft to bring in money.

I would seriously go out of my way to buy it, sadly no, I am not joking.

So… the entire server merge process which is bound to hit Aion (eventually). Prolly the number one thing on my mind is this:

-Will everyone flood and swamp just one or two or three servers? Leaving the rest dead?

Being a player on Yustiel a "dead" server, which actaully manages to float on it’s own decently in my humble opinion; there has been alot of talk of people switching off of the server to a new one.

Basically my fear is, will server merges contribute more damage to Aion then good? I see the positives clearly:
-more pvp
-more legion events
-etc, etc.

But is it really worth having 4-5+ dead servers for it? Not to mention with the competition on those servers I really wish anyone goodluck on Zapiel/etc.

Opinions, concerns, etc…. discuss?

Note: This is all to be assumed rumor/speculation until proven otherwise.

"Spiritmaster

Cobweb: Restricts the target and increases the damage caused by earth magic.
Order: Enables the summoning beast to have a chance to cast elemental magic while attacking.
Infection: Carries debuff effects the target suffered to others in a certain area.

Cobweb can cause spell damage relying on spell attack skills, more details are not clear. However, according to the skill description, other skills may also be used on enemies during the Cobweb effective time."

Quoted from the website incase people are nervous to click the link.

Sooo what does everyone thing about this?
Cobweb: Sounds like a sorcerers sleep/tree spell but even more lethal? Doesn’t break on damage and increases out earth damage! Oh lala; infernal pain just got looking ALLOT better!! (shackle of vuln+earth spirit debuff+cobweb, wow we could have some fun here :suave:)

Order: I am pretty sure most of you know my opinion on pet’s and their usefulness… they are a good suppliment but they are far from the raw power imo :angry: Personally I think this sounds like a spiritmaster version of the chanter’s promise of the wind buff… sorry to say but unless this proc’s 20% of the time and is effected by pets magic boost buffs.. then I am not too happy… But #@$% I’ll take anything.

Infection: The one ability that will cause people to scream, cry, shat themselves, nyerk themselves, have nightmares and all the works of a spiritmaster…

Making all of our debuffs aoe? :sparkles: I think I just had an inner orgasm! Sorry but making all of our debuffs aoe is probably the most ruthless and beautiful thing NCsoft could do for our class.. AoE body root.. AoE fear’s Aoe erosions… Aoe debuffs.. the sheer thought of it excites me beyond comprehension.. if this skill is implemented our class will likely be THE #1 pvp machine in the game.

What I rate them personally? (just my opinion, not meant to be taken as anything other then that.)

Cobweb: 9/10
Order: 4/10
Infection: 20/10

I think my interest in aion just skyrocketed. :love:

I just had the most crazywild idea ever… (finally viewed the FF13 summons).

What if our summons like did this stuff… :love:

I call Alexander… :love: :sparkles:

But yeah… if NCsoft made a mount system similar to this style.. in combat seperate like what we have right now and then a fusion mount mode… oh god I’d squee. :plshelp:

Lost Faith with NCsoft… through the hackings and the absolute despair of failing hhom so many times… so many hours gone to waste…. #@$% even the lack of black and white and red dyes…. in a game where graphics and customisation are it’s focal point…

I guess this all trickles down just the same as any other thread in this forum section (apart from maybe.. 2,3 threads?)… I lost faith in NCsoft, being a player who played a sorcerer and uploaded many many video’s onto youtube of my pvping and pvp tips and etc… NCwest’s late release was a kick to the face… shocking almost… now the lack of "westernisation" is a pity..

1.)-Level grind is still the same as it was before, you cannot throw lodas amulets at people and expect them to be happy… 9 hour cooldown and a limited item… maybe if you made the exp cap per mob / quest raised by 20% at the moment it would be solid… or even lowered the grind bars by 20% less exp required for a ding.. that would work but let’s face it this issue has STILL not been adressed.. you cannot offer double exp weekends (which I admit I have enoyed myself) and cram players into a tight knit space and expect them to be happy… then return it to the normal grind and have players right back into the same bowl of soup "grind".

2.)-Fortresses, these are still a mess… yes the crash error was fixed and kudos for that but the timers were changed and that basically turned everyone off of them.. I realise that a vote was given out… but let’s be honest here… should a vote even be taken on something so blatently obvious? Yustiel at its present stance cannot even take a upper fort in TWO HOURS… now with more and more players jumping ship and more saying screw fortresses a gold medal is worth nothing… Fortresses are dead and unrewarding anymore.

At least artifacts don’t limit your blood farming! And at least you can run to a artifact to escape being ganked!!! Fortresses? Holding them is useless and stunts the ability to farm bloods there.. it is the EXACT OPPOSITE effect of rewarding.. it punishes those who farm bloods.

3.)- Hot Heart of Magic… the biggest reason I have quit.. the number one reason I have completely and 100% turned from loving this game inside and out to absolutely wanting to break my laptop when I hear that bloody login screen music… the same music I ironically would listen too for hours before release!

Know what? I am one #@$% of an active player.. I have my own fansite where I post updates and guides of my own work and I have a personal fanbase of approximately 80-90 casual/active players…. allot more then most can say. Also beyond that I am a respected member in Yustiels community and in these forums as well. I have credentials out my *** for a mmo player.. former moderator (VOLUNTEER) who dealt 1 on 1 with bans/hacks/scams/rerolls (often scam and reroll go hand in hand, lol+) and other customer service… I have played at LEAST 20 mmo’s including silk road, rf online, conquer, runescape the bloody worst credential to write, Lord of the rigns online… daoc, WoW (incoming flames, right? Was a warlock pre-Burning crusade!), requiem… and allot more but I don’t want to be boring and just get REAL Tl;Dr’s, I like the fake ones cause they are obvious troll attempts.

Why do you think I believe HHOM is utter bunk?:

-I was the TOP level on Yustiel, second only (at times) to Yuzu on the server… I began grinding fort guards at level 45.
-I also had my own legion; this legion was primarily comprised of 10 members and we held rank 1 for weeks into the server until nexus with a signifigantly higher member count surpassed us and we became number 2… with 10 people. I think I know what hardcore and a effective leader is BY NOW.
-I recieved the first paralyze godstone drop and first earths wrath… ontop of that I had poured within the first month of aion over 10 million of my own kinah into craftable items for my legion members to access. I was wealthy and successful here as well, I even sold a perer aether jelly recipe to a friend for only 5million at the start of the server…. (would have given but they insisted). I am far from devoid of charity!

Yet I STILL don’t have HHOM? Excuse me?… As more and more people get the HHOM the more and more I shake my head at it.. RNG is a load of garbage. I have been decided to be thrown in the trash as a player and discluded from: dredgion, dark poeta and other events (HAVEN’T GOTTEN A DARK POETA GROUP PAST RANK B FOR A SOLID MONTH NOW). Why? Cause no one accepts a person below full miragents into a dark poeta group! Heaven forbid me being in a Rank A static a month ago and doing over 30 successful runs.. Oh yes by the way I -DO- have anuharts orb AND gloves… smiely face… with a wink? BEFORE MIRAGENT PANTS. Now I can’t get a group for anything? The game broke for me as soon as my lack of a crit in HHOM dictated that I was unworthy to join ANY endgame content.. no raids, no dredg, no dark poeta… tell me what is there other then that? Rifting in Belusian with the only two rifts that pop up as rare as a blue moon? Only to gank lowbies and be ganked by a zerg myself? No thanks! That is NOT endgame.

4.) Class balance.

I advise you to not even POST spiritmaster’s are overpowered. Anyone that says that is either heavily undergeared or a adolescent chimp because NOT EVEN AN ADULT CHIMP would be so brain dead as to not know how to GIMP us in PvP.

*Flying pets: recent addition, too little too late… class was broken before then and even now that the pets fly my spirits cant even keep up with me for 10 seconds (speaking of wind spirit) as I fly w/o a speedscroll in the air.. LAWL.

*Debuff limit:

SORRY, once more, I LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GROUP WITH OTHER CLASSES.. HELLOOOOO… ANYONE EVER HEARD OF A PARTY HERE?

Chanters and me don’t mix.. no… any class and me don’t mix because why? Cause they knock off all of my DoT and curse spells and leave me useless.. I have HUGE damage when they stay on.. but no we have templars using weakening blow and rangers spamming silence arrow (the nyerking #@$% silence arrow on melle mobs, nyerking annoying) and goodluck to me who has the ONLY DAMAGE THAT SCALES knocked off in less then 2 seconds.

*Debuffs don’t stack.

Sorry but classes should be able to stack.. there is such a thing as more then one spiritmaster going to a nyerking fort raid.. or was that ncsoft’s goal to weed everyone off of this class unless they have some sort of #@$%#@ pet fetish? There is no excuse for them not to stack, no excuse PERIOD. You CAN NOT justify them not stacking. It is a BROKEN MECHANIC.

*Debuffs? Hello isn’t a spiritmaster a control class?

Sorry, which I’ve been saying allot, but we have 3 fears… one on a 5 min cooldown timer.. one castable every minuite and one castable evrey 30 seconds.. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Oh wait I better spell that out because anyone that is gunna flame me has NEVER ONCE NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER played a spiritmaster past level 35. PERIOD. THAT SUCKS BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Where are our debuffs? We get one adv stigma that does debuffs.. slowing shackles.. where is my mana drain, lower attack debuff, lower defence debuff, lower cast speed debuff… give me soemthing other then some grotesquely overpowered debuff combination tack on ******** stigma. But then again NCsoft did that with bodyroot and silence and ignite aether… OH WAIT those are the THREE PVP STIGMAS A SPIRITMASTER NEEDS OR NO PVP GROUP WILL TAKE THEM. Geez, the mistakes REALLY showin now.

*Flight PvP,

You melle crybabies say you have it BAD? Take a nyerking seat and I’ll tell you about spiritmasters.

-5 minuite cooldown instant fear, one of the only TWO fears viable in flight pvp… lasts 6-8 seconds (not really that long in game since spiritmasters are like sorcerers and casting time reliant.. )

-30 second cooldown fear… the 2nd of the only TWO fears viable in flight pvp… lasts 6-8 seconds.. same deal.

-Fear shriek… you mean that stigma that sells for 14m+ on some servers? Gee… let’s see it casts and hits whatever is qwithin 15m range of it.. sorry to say but in flight PvP even casting this spell is asking for a pointless event.. it will cast even if target is out of range.. a.k.a. useless..

Grand beheader of all spiritmasters? Oh gee lets think…

Maybe the fact you go zipping off at a speed > 16.0 in flight.. especially with a flightspeed scroll?! Fear in flight PvP is simply a tool to let the opponent escape from you.. this is as you can probably figure out yourself… VERY effective in flighting clerics. (If you are aiming to let them ride all over you!).

Oh and wingroot was nerfed so thats another trash skill.

GG NCsoft WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT!!! SUCH A PRO OP CLASS MY GOD SO EXCITING!!

(I rerolled cleric before this post.)

5.) PvP system:

-I DIDN’T like the idea of getting PLAYER VS. PLAYER points from farming guards in K-Aion and I DO NOT LIKE IT HERE EITHER.

System that contradicts itself is riddiculous!

Also I want to add.. I want more oppertunities for pvp… add battle grounds… events… ANYTHING… there is so little pvp and I REALLY do NOT consider "GANKING" to be PvP. I REALLY DO NOT. If I wanted to fight undergeared and under leveled opponents… well I think we can have a simple game of PAPER RPG for that. COOL STORY BRO? U HAZ 800 HP AND I HAZ 1900 LOLOLOL I HIT YOU FOR OVER 9000 BRO LOLOLOL. *does rock hand sign*

Sorry… doesn’t cut it.

6.) Hacks, and customer service… intimidating.

That says it all in itself.. my fiance was hacked and I thank the lord he got it back promptly.. which did ease my stress and helped raise my level of trust with NCsoft.. but he still doesn’t have items back and those items had a major impact on my own.. that was allot of money and allot of items the hacker obliterated… not enough for me to shrug off! This isn’t even going into how a user posted a gm reply and I myself didn’t recieve it.. but I felt threatened and like I was being put to blame.. it was … intimidating. This isn’t even going into how many of my friends are unlucky and are still yet to recieve even a response from a GM regarding their account.. or the friends of mine who got their account backed got reported for botting when the hacker had it and then were promtly perma-banned. Yeah… intimidating.

7.) "Gm activity"

I know many account traders on Yustiel.. the most common one being Zeldent that 90% of the server knows has been sold by the original owner to a new one.. and then that new owner sold it to a new one… WHERE THE #@$% are the gm’s?! Or does 3 COMPLETELY UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT SETS OF INFORMATION NOT SEND A MESSAGE TO YOU THE ACCOUNT WAS BEING TRADED LIKE A CUMBUCKET.

And you wonder why hackers are so rampant? This is probably a good source to start!
————————-

Now that THAT is done with… I want to say something fairly obvious and fairly well known by now… no… well known by now

THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN POSTED EVERYWHERE I CAN IMAGINE, AIONSOURCE, YOUR OWN HACKED TO CRAP FORUMS, MY SITE, E-MAILS, ANY FANSITE, EVEN WOW’S FORUMS!

The lack of initiative from NCwest has me appauled, no company… NO COMPANY HAS EVER been given more FEEDBACK, COMMITMENT, LOYAL PLAYERS and done as LITTLE as NCsoft has with the information…

I am appauled… so many games go and die out due to lack of feedback and lack of communication… and yet you have a game with a strong enough player base to respond actively and commit more feedback then you ever could dream of? Worst part is it all flows with itself… these are common issues that can be seen within the first page of aionsource!!! HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO INTAKE THIS INFORMATION!

I am purely.. 100% mind blown.. 100%.

I love Aion and NCsoft really has impressed me before in the past but I am going to take a break from Aion… hopefully sme of these issues will be adressed… but at the moment the game to me is: restrictively based on RNG… and this RNG decides if you are "worthy" to play and join in endgame content, aggrivating because you can only really gain AP through PvE farming, the drop rates are horrible, only the miragents/pvp gear is viable for endgame… the quest item gear set almost doubles the potentcy of the craftable 50 balic!, and yeah… just … I play a game for fun not a job.. I want to relax and enjoy my time. If it wasn’t for my friends who were really into this game I don’t know if I would have lasted longer…

Until there is a change, with I hope NCsoft will do… to resolve these problems.. even just a few..

I didn’t believe it was true until I saw so many posts on Aionsource about peoples accounts being hacked…

Now his account is hacked and he cannot even access his master account anymore.

I’m left here sitting wondering… wow… how? I am MORE than sure his computer is secure, he uses the most potent antivirus software avaliable and doesn’t browse suspicious sites EVER. Also his password was HIGHLY advanced and there is no way anyone that didn’t hack him via trojan/keylogger could possibly even think it up. <– same with username.

So I’m like sitting here right now… and I don’t even know what to do anymore. It wasn’t MY account that got hacked… but his.. regardless we still clearly have a link in common…

As one of the most vocal people in the Aion community who constantly sends out a stream of at least 50 pm’s a day to people asking me questions about: in game quests, spiritmaster class, cleric class, along with the sorcerer class and w….. I guess I am a bit stunned that this would happen.

I guess I’m half posting this to make the community aware, I’m also posting this on my site to inform my fan’s and peers… and I guess the truth of the matter is that I am really, really, really… shocked.

I’m sorry.

Okay so I have a gladiator alt.. and I hate his armor apperiance (completely) so I want to reskin it…

… with abyssal gear.

On my main I can easily farm enough Abyss Points to trade for the individual pieces. Thing is I don’t know if I can skin them onto say a white piece of armor and transfer it over and reskin his armor…

I guess in a nutshell the question is can I reskin a white piece of gear (or a tradeable piece of gear) and trade it over and reskin another armor piece with that piece of armor and keep the reskin of that piece of armor I am not using to reskin the new armor?

Wordy but I hope someone understands :dazed:

I can 100% admit this thread is composed of frustration and being completely annoyed… posting in a attempt and hope that I will get a solution… should I just PM this to a dev? Maybe. But I think at this time I would tell them just as blunt as I am about to post here.

Hot Heart of Magic and RNG? What do you think I think of them weeks later after my two polls were put up?

14 fails later please tell me how to feel… so many fails with NOTHING to show. Over an entire month of grinding the same fortresses over and over and over and over cause the fortress system at the moment is so nyerked up that balaur themselves cannot even reclaim ROAH on my server for OVER A MONTH now. Any kinah I farmed at guards? Lol doesn’t take a moderator any effort to log my char and check the inventory… not enough kinah to take a dump with and a inventory full of b.s..

14 fails people say? Maybe cause I believed it was really a random number generator not a bloody time sink of agony anf frustration. I’ve NPCed over 7 hearts alone out of pure RAGE the other day and have 2 in my inventory from my two most recent fails… so honestly I am curious.

Why should I keep playing?

I was the top level on Yustiel and I was originally the richest having gained the first Earths Wrath IV and paralyze godstone and over 70mil kinah from hoarding… yet I have maybe the amount of 3million kinah left PERIOD? (Oh yay another weapon flux that I can fail a 15th time with!)

SARCASM ASIDE 3million is f all in this game.

I already have anuharts orb and gloves from dark poeta with a drop rate that would make anyones skin curtle before I have even proced this heart… tell me if that isn’t completely messed. (Btw if you look me up notice the nice white stones? Yeah.. I haven’t even been able to afford yellow manastones this quest has had me bent over so badly!).

I am at the stage in which I am hardly even able to log on because I get so frustrated and I see more and more of my legion members procing it on their first try.. and you wanna know what I was told to my face the other day in vent? Really? Basically how I was being excluded from all groups now because a spiritmaster (clothy) can’t do anything without miragents set in S rank dark poeta boss.. so SCREW me getting the rest of my set!

I hope a dev can reply and at least tell me they are going to make it so you can trade 5 failed hearts for 1 HHOM.. I may only have 2 now but at this point 14 fails later… another 3 is NOTHING.

… or I can be more realistic and say if I don’t get the pants and my quest forwarded I am cancelling my subscription.. I did my dues for the quest and have even beaten the person with the most fails on my server (11th try he proced it) on the largest amount of horribad luck… and now I am being discluded from my static? No that just doesn’t float, it just doesn’t float at all.

**Worst part of all is I haven’t even gotten a reply from a developer on my two polls put up WEEKS ago. So I feel like I am banging my head against the wall.. at this point in time canceling my subscription and leaving to even WoW seems more entertaining then farming at KROTAN…. just so I can say " I failed a 15th time.. I failed a 16th time! I failed a 17th time!"

Okay we all know (or I believe, at least, the majority knows…) how spiritmasters deal damage and control at the same time.

This causes a big fuss and commotion on our class…

Anyhow this has been going on as an idea in my head for the past little while because I myself have played a level 50 sm and a level 50 cleric "dedicated healer" and "dedicated controller" aspects.

Anyhow the idea would be… who here would accept the DIVIDING of the spiritmaster class into two things:

#1: Control class where you gain abilities like a mesmer and redirect attacks at people and if someone hits you they get 50% of damage reflected and effects like thorny skin from cleric line and overall more controlling abilities.

#2: Summoner class where you gain abilities that are more pet orriented and pets become signifigantly stronger and you get a diverse array of abilities to interact with them such as transfer pain and other goodies!

But at the cost of:

#1: Control class loses all pets and damage abilities.. they become dedicated to that role. This prevents the "overpowered" effect as the class is now DEDICATED to control.. they don’t deal damage of their own and as such have that single role.

#2: Pet class loses all control abilities.. fear, sigil, body root, etc.. at the cost of becoming a specialised pet class with higher damage and more pet orriented.

Why would I post such an "outrageous" (to some) or "ingenious" (to some) thread? Cause I believe that the root of people calling us overpowered is the same as a cleric.. we do our job (control) AND damage ontop of it… we aren’t dedicated to control or damage purely and as such we are a brutal combination.. do I have an issue with it? No I don’t. But I do believe allot of people are having issues with it and ontop of that we are the only summoning and control based class in game so a split like this (maybe a 2nd job promotion from spiritmaster that divides into these two paths) would benifit those who want pure control or pure summoning and help break the ties of "overpowered" and become specialists.

Added: I thought I added a poll but yeah.. didn’t turn out.. if anyone wants to repost this with a poll feel free to do so. =)

Coming from RF online and being a long term player there (a year and a half playing) I played many different classes.. one of them being a cora grazier.. a.k.a. a summoner which is directly related to spiritmaster.

In a thread posted in this section of the forums there was a thread bringing up pets in general… and focusing more on how the pets here are very blan and boring and not very much expanded upon. This brought this idea of mine to the surface which I was thinking about for a while.

As we all know we have the fire, wind, earth, water spirit and for asmodians magma and elyos tempest… one thing however remains the same for all of these pets… they all simply deal damage.

"What is wrong with that… ?" You might ask, well coming from mmo’s like lineage where you had servitors (similar to our "Summon energy of X" which instead acted as passive buffs..) like HoT’s or increased defence or they attacked along side of your own damage etc… some of these were very cool and added in effects like poisoning and slow and were very specific and did their one single effect.

My idea as the title suggests is to implement healing pet’s… while I would love to see a servitor expansion added onto the spiritmaster class I’m going to keep my suggestion under this title.

Okay now you ask me: Healing pet? Isn’t that only adding more water into the already boiling pot of spiritmasters?

-Yes and no, yes as in the fact that it adds more diversity to our class and makes us more useful.. as I will state below in a "Why even bother doing this" poll… And here I will expand:

Why isn’t this overpowered?

-Initially healing pets/servitors may sound overpowered.. definately however you have too look at the raw meat of the situation.

*currently our pets deal damage.. they don’t heal so in a 1 vs 1 situation you couldn’t possibly gain any benifit as you lose the damage from your pet and instead it goes to healing

*I believe healing power in accordance to the water spirits current statistics would be fair… (maybe even turn the water spirit into it) it has at my level of level 50 260 attack… meaning in exchange for a damage pet our pet instead deals "heals" to the target.. this pet can also target allies and shoot its heals off at them.

*I believe that a system in which a heal which does 260 hp a pop (water spirits attack) costs 260 hp of the spirit (water spirit has approimately 3k health at level 50 [49]) would be fair… this prevents the player from:
-Gaining overpowered effects from sprit substitution.. the spirit has low health and its heals drain its health.
-Also ontop of that it prevents mindless spamming of heals.. this ability is meant for tactical use and to expand onto the pet class.. not make some pew pew lets summon a water spirit and have it hit the tank all dark poeta run!

*You LOSE your damage.. as much as we like to think a healing pet would be great you camn only keep one pet out at a time.. healing pet would replace your firespirit or tempest or magma which deals damage and is suited for its role ONLY!

*It’s run speed, health, defence are low.. it is simply meant for healing and nothing else.. if it gets attacked it dies basically with a measely 3k health… this will add tactical measures to pvp further increasing player strategy.

*As it stands now players at end game have around 7k-8k hp and even higher numbers.. a 260 heal a pop will not do much to drastically change the tide of a battle. It will help definately, but it won’t change the world.

Okay so if it’s that useless why even implement it in the first place?

*Party integration is a large issue spiritmasters face, often times we find ourselves without a party and not wanted for multiple reasons.. this increases the usefulness of a spiritmaster in a party situation and makes the class overall more desireable.

*Uniqueness: our class as it stands is a class in which we use pets however they are all static and alligned with damage and nothing but damage. This would give us some diversity and help us change our role.

*Tactics: this will increase pressure on players to formulate tactics in advance and think thoughtfully.. increasing strategies possible widely.

Now you know that it isn’t overpowered and secondly that it is useful here are some specifications and how it would run:

-Dp buff = same as before.. increases same stats. Heals change from 260 to 481 making the pet more useful in pvp.

-Spirit Armor buff from advanced stigma… increases same stats. Heals change from 260 to 364… or from 260 – 585

this increases the positive effects from going the pet stigma route and attracts more players to selecting that route.. However likewise the heals will still cost hitpoints!

Now behold the spirit skills one by one =)

Spirit: Thunderbolt claw:
-This ability buffs the target for 15 seconds with +50 evasion +50 parry +50 block and + 100 defence.

Spirit Threat:
-DECREASES enmity of the target.

Spirit Erosion:
-Places a HoT onto the target healing the target for 150 hp every 6 seconds for 30 seconds.

Spirit Disturbance:
-Removes the most recently applied magical/physical debuff from the target.

Spirit Detonation Claw:
-The pet preforms an AOE heal on all party members for 500 health

Spirit Wrath position:
-Same effects as water spirit.

Spirit Elemental Flow:
-Places a buff on all party members healing them for 200 health every 2 seconds for 8 seconds and increasing their elemental defence by 150 and increases physical defence by 250 points.

Spirit Ruinous Offensive:
-Spirit radiates with a holy energy increasing the amount of hp replenished by heals by 20% and instantly heals all party members for 700 health.

This adds in a few defensive buffs as well as a few aoe heals that give relatively mediocre health rejuvination and a few hot abilities along with a single dispel ability. This would increase the usefulness of a spiritmaster highly in any party situation and allow them more integration. These abilities all however like clerics abilities do not scale with dp buff or armor spirit and are static. Meaning if you dp buff these spells will not double in strength. <– else they would be overpowered.

These abilities are effective but are far less potent then a clerics heals or chanters as well as are on heavy cooldown timers forcing the spiritmaster to think with tactics in mind rather then spraying off random heals. A cleric is a healer and their role is not taken away by this spirit, the spirit simply serves a unque role as a special healing pet. Also their buffs are limited which does not replace a chanter in a party situation either, the pets abilities are limited to defensive buffs and hots only.

I believe with the integration of this into our system we can bring more emersion into the spiritmaster class and have unique pets specific for each and every situation at hand! Opposed to minor differences this would add more depth and specification to the class and overall make it a much more enjoyable experiance.

Minor side info:

-The abilities would work the same as if you were a cleric, same casting time as the skill has and if cast while you are aimed at an enemy target the ability will be used upon yourself.

Example(1): You target an Asmodian (as an elyos) named "Test1" and you use spirit Erosion followed by Spirit Detonation Claw you will recieve a HoT for 150 health every 6 seconds for 30 seconds and you will cast an AOE heal on yourself (and your party members) for 500 health.

Example(2): You target an Elyos (as an Elyos) names "Test2" and you use spirit thunderbolt claw you will give them the thunderbolt claw buff raising their stats.

Added: This pet should be introduced with this much power only at level 50, the skills I described are at the potency of it’s level 50 form.

How clerics can machine gun off any/all spells you cast on them and since our damage is dot damage we NEED to silence or fear them or our damage may as well be smacking them with our orb.

I seriously think we should petition at least SOME sort of cooldown put on it.. 0.5 seconds? That is a horrendous joke when they tear off Cyclone of Wrath, erosion, spirit erosion, Infernal Pain, Shackle of Vulnerability… in less then 3 seconds.

Added: I roll a cleric alt, yes I do. And I see the fact they are healers but this is riddiculous how our damage can not only be countered by a pot and a hot easily but it doesn’t even take HALF of its effect (sometimes not even 1 tick) against a healer.

Also yes I know that it keeps them busy… for 0.5 seconds a cast.. (cyclone of wrath = 2 second casting time… they have 1.5 seconds there of no damage……… hmm…) Actaully no, I really, really Don’t.
