Curse

I'm horrible with names, so if someone would like to come up with something more creative please do. My idea with this class is to create a melee caster whose spells rely mostly on making his attacks that much better. It will have very little self healing. And the request for two-handed swords and axes will be met. It is still very much a work in progress. I will be adding more as the ideas pop into my head, or while I am brainstorming at work. So, here it is and let the flames begin (though I woudl prefer constructive criticism)

BattleMage

Armor - 70 (+30 vs spells)
Think gladiator armor mixed with ranger leather armor

Appearance, cross between warrior and ritualist. Sort of broad shoulders, but still lean and slender.

Attributes
___________

Concentration(Primary): Gives a 1% chance per point that when you would have been interrupted, the interrupt has no effect.
Two-Handed Weaponry: Effectivesness while wielding two-handed swords and axes is increased with more points in Two-Handed Weaponry.

can I at least get a flame? I'd rather be flamed than get no feedback at all

Helcaraxe · Dec 17, 2006, 06:04 PM // 18:04

come on dammit... people around this forum love to flame, I can't even get a 'go swallow a knife, this class is teh suxx and you fail at life'?

Don't like the name much.
Skills are alright.
Feel not much stood out.
I like a Rune Smith-type CC for improving weapon and armor's need.
No need to encourage flame. (but if you want, say you want guns, and call on BK)

Of couse, thats all my personal opinion... take it as you well.
Enjoy the creative process.
