[Bedpost]

I only read the warrior priests abilities

I shall not fall
Tactic Slots: 5
Description: When you are killed, there is a chance you will be resurrected (not yet implemented)

Sounds like something that shouldn't be put in... Sounds like a potential for people to cry hack about because it happens to often. Or Why bother having this it never seems to fire off.

Otherwise it sounds like a pretty neat class

[Morety]

omgwtf NERF WARRIOR PRIESTICLES!

[bleedboy]

well, i like the concept of the melee and spell attacks. Seems that each one actually does something like reduce a stat or something to that effect.

[Riddick]

I have thought for a while that I am going to make a Warrior Priest, i really like the abilities.

The Zealot's abilities actually seemed pretty cool as well... debuffs on a target that also buff your teammates around that target, thats hot. From a video I saw it looks like it will be a good marker for the assist train as well, when the zealot debuffs it puts a crow above the targets head.


So now I wonder if the system will be like DAoC, where you had 3 columns and you put points in whichever you want and get abilities with more points or if it will be like Diablo2/WoW Talent system where you have multiple trees and work your way up certain trees. Hopefully the later as that will allow alot of different builds for sure. Just by looking at all the skills I am sure you just dont get pre-defined skills as you level up like EQ, their is to much overlap in each section.

Great find Mo! Gonna have to add that site to my daily WAR browsing ritual, god I can't wait for this game.

[Riddick]

Found some info i found at http://www.guildcafe.com/blogs/viewblog.php?entry=606

Here is some of the info I found interesting:


You get points to spend on abilities just like most games. These currently(at least for tier1) happen every level(rank). However you earn points to buy morale abilities at different spots. For instance you might gain your first point at level 3.4, and your next at 6.8. The same goes for tactics. So at any given time you feel like you have something to shoot for: This is either good or bad, but I'm trying not to review here.

Tactics/morale abilities can be switched out at any time, as long as you aren't in combat.

You have 6 tactics slots at L40. Tactics taking 1-5 points to use (There's a filter on the menu to easily find 1 point 2 point etc tactics, and some sort of colour coding: I think it's healing/damage or something)

The points you gain to buy tactics I explained up ahead. Also of note and the reason I decided to update just now: In some cases with a tactic you already owned you could "Spend 1 tactic point to reduce the number of slots required by this ability" - I'm not sure if this is universal or what the rules are, though.




Regarding when you can switch out tactics:
It's instant, but you can't be in combat. Not sure if you can change them around while in a scenario. The same goes for morale.

[Riddick]

So in response to Bedpost - the WP ability to self res takes up 5 out of 6 tactic slots, that will leave the WP lacking in alot of abilities, dont seem to bad to me I think.

I only read the warrior priests abilities

I shall not fall
Tactic Slots: 5

[Bedpost]

Still if someone has the ability, and it happens all the time people will cry nerf. If they have it though and it seems like it never happens, then it would be a totally worthless ability.

Hard to see where the line in between there would be good in my opinion. whether it takes few or all of the tactic slots

[Riddick]

Yeah I do agree, also depends on the % of health and AP/whatever returned when the res happens also.

I would guess it is no more nasty then the shaman self-res in WoW.

[Golmacmourna]

coming back from the dead is not inherently overpowered. If you say that again, I will tear your knob off and beat you with a broomstick. And then a castle full of armor will come alive, and you will be in deep mustard, mister.

Deep mustard.

that said, what's going to count moreso than selfrezzes or even balance is whether the inherent nature of combat and ratio of range to movement speed is sufficient for actual gameplay. If it's another autotarget autoroll to hit autoroll to damage model, then it's going to sag. Hopefully they will model swing timing and projectiles--even if it is autotarget--and that will provide a reason to be at the keyboard.

I call it the diablo 2 threshold. Or the D2T.

[bloodreign]

omgwtf NERF WARRIOR PRIESTICLES!

:rolly:

I had a good laugh at this comment.


so is there going to be a rogue class?

[Boom]

Is there going to be a shorty class? Lurikeen, gnome, whatever. :)

Also, yeah and invisibles class would be good.

One thing I've learned from DAOC and WOW, any class with invisibility or stealth will be overpowered in the first 6 months of the game and will be able to kill people before they can react. Then, after 6 months of whining (and after everyone rolls an invisible class alt) they will give everyone defenses against the invisible class to balance it.

So if you wanna do some good ganking, roll your rogue/shade/whatever fast and get the most out of it before the nerfs come!

If I don't roll a stealther, I will just follow the logic I used when I rolled my Zuhex wannabe. I looked through alll the spells and attacks in the entire game, found the one that hit the hardest, and rolled the class that had that ability. :)

[Morety]

BR: No steath in the game. There may be some sort of camouflage system, still waiting to hear more about it.

Boom, there's goblins and dwarves. Me, I'm thinking that a squig herder looks good.

http://www.warhammeronline.com/english/gameInfo/armiesofWAR/Greenskins/Careers/images/squigherder11.jpg

[Boom]

Is that a goblin? Very sexy! Looks like its similar to the hunter class in WoW. Using a bow and having a pet.

[Morety]

You should get about 3 of them suckers if I read correctly :D

[Golmacmourna]

and that bow is actually part of a harp. As you level you get more strings, and play more effective versions of end song.

[Solomente]

The pets keep biting ankles after the goblin dies, too.

[Morety]

There's collision detection in the game. Squigs can bypass the tanks (leap over them) and get to the back ranks and attack the squishies :)

[Riddick]

The other side of the coin has their little surprises too... sneaking up on that Bright Wizard for the easy gank might not be such a good idea, it has been confirmed that they explode when they die. :ooer:

[Solomente]

There's collision detection in the game. Squigs can bypass the tanks (leap over them) and get to the back ranks and attack the squishies :)

lol are you being for serious?

[Morety]

totally

[Golmacmourna]

I don't say this often... but WHO is starting to make me a little wet.

moist.

Speaking of. Where's Bonz? I'm jonesing for priapus.

[Bedpost]

coming back from the dead is not inherently overpowered. If you say that again, I will tear your knob off and beat you with a broomstick. And then a castle full of armor will come alive, and you will be in deep mustard, mister.

Deep mustard.


I guess I should clarify my statement. Obviously if the resurrect is on a timer and you're only at like 1/3rd health when you come back that's not going to be over powered. I'm basing my statement solely on the information that they have provided for that ability. Which they clearly state is not even in the game yet.

So if they put it in and there is no timer on it and it's set at 50% of the time. There are going to be people complaining because it happens to them every time they kill a warrior priest. Then there are also going to be people that complain, well whenver I'm killed by 'X' my ressurect never fires off.

If there was more description about it, I wouldn't be worried. I'm more just saying that is an ability that definitely has potential for crying about if it's not done right.

[Boom]

Collision detection! That is like the biggest thing missing from WoW. I run right through warriors to go stab priests. I mean, its dangerous running through warriors cuz they can bash you and stuff, but it would really add to the complexity and realism of the fights if I actually had to kill (or try to get around) tanks before I stabbed the squishies.

[Boom]

Rain of Fire
Action Points: 140
Range: 0-100 ft
Description: Meteors strike the ground doing damage to all enemies within (x) feet of that spot


:D I love framerate killing spells!

[Rooster]

UO had collision detection. Then you could have good guys blocking other good guys from getting somewhere, just to be pricks. They took it out.

[Post]

In its current implementation, collision detection is for enemies only - no friendly CD.

[Bedpost]

so is WHO going to finally be coded to not worry about 56k modem connections? because that would allow for alot better collision detection I would think. Otherwise if it's limited to the 56k modem connections, I don't know how there wont be quite a large lag between movements for that?

[Golmacmourna]

UO had collision detection. Then you could have good guys blocking other good guys from getting somewhere, just to be pricks. They took it out.

They shouldn't have. You can't let people's overwhelming willingness to be jackasses compramise what is basically a great gameplay element. I mean, when someone's using an aimbot in counterstrike, you don't turn off the ability to shoot through walls, or do headshots... you work on anti-cheating programs.

In real life we manage (somehow) to not get trapped by 5 people trying to be jerks most of the time. I mean sometimes. There was that one time. Spyder cornered me.

[Post]

Actually, they still had it in there, but in a modified form. You had a stamina bar that you could use to swing your weapon and run. It used an entire stamina bar to push through someone. If you didn't have a full stamina bar, you had to wait for it to replenish and push your way through.

[Golmacmourna]

oh sweet. I didn't realize. That's perfect.

I thought they were always block, then put in the stamina thing... then removed it completely?

Interesting that they did away with all the mass CC spells so far... unless I am mistaken.

It could be the classes aren't yet noted. I do notice some snares in there, but they're short in duration from what I see.

I know originally it was block, but then you had people who would stand right at a zone-in for a dungeon or something, and you'd be boxed in where they'd kill you. Then they put in the stamina thing. That was the last I heard of it. I got out right before they were going to split the worlds to PvP / PvE sides, so maybe they changed it then, but I played on a free server last year, and they had the stamina thing on it.

Not supposed to be much CC. The main thing they are doing is making abilities that increase the "casting time" of other abilities. So you do Ability A on an Orc then for the next 10 secs all of his abilities take 1 sec extra to do.
