Tell me what you guys think

furyore · Apr 07, 2007, 08:55 PM // 20:55

sounds a LOT like the Diablo 2 druids here.

Dean Harper · Apr 07, 2007, 09:39 PM // 21:39

your skills need more elaboration, such as how long the animals last, and if the attacks do any damage or not. Most are overpowered, especially Speed of Light. It seems to be a maintainable enchantment that gives a speed boost. That is WAAAAAYYYYYY unbalanced. If someone didnt remove it, you would be running 33% faster indefinetally. also, 33%???!!?!?!?! It should be 25% since you also have the spell boost. The spell boost seems to just be a copy of Fast Casting in a skill....

Darkhell153 · Apr 08, 2007, 12:10 AM // 00:10

Srry, looks like I have a lot of editing to do (well I tried).

P.s: never played diablo.

[M]agna_[C]arta · Apr 08, 2007, 01:04 AM // 01:04

Sry but I like the old Druids better^^.

actionjack · Apr 08, 2007, 01:36 AM // 01:36

Sound interesting enough... a good CC in most case.
While not seeing that much of new things in it (most of stuff appear in variour CC), but certainly is not bad. Sometime less is more.

But one thing I would suggest drop is the Sicke Mastery. While I like it's tie with the plants, and feel its a good fit, but just don't think need another melee weapon mastery for a caster class, not much functionality in there.
Might suggest Terramancy (earth control) to fill it.

Darkhell153 · Apr 08, 2007, 02:56 AM // 02:56

I was thinking about doing that exact same thing thanks actionjack. I'll edit it up again right away. Keep telling me everything I need to change people.

Darkhell153 · Apr 08, 2007, 03:11 AM // 03:11

There ya go, I think I got a bit overpowered on it but tell me what ya think and what I need to change, I can already tell there's gonna be a list.

[M]agna_[C]arta · Apr 08, 2007, 05:31 AM // 05:31

Try following this Attributes^^.
Suggestion

Celtic Worship
-For each rank of Celtic worship you gain 1 energy for each AoE spell ends.

Spirit Mana
-Specializes in Calling Creatures of Nature(Including Plants) also Being One with them to Aid you and Allies.

Terra Mana
-Specializes in Terrain Manipulation to make Barriers or Obstacles.

Aero Mana
-Specializes in Damage Manipulation and Buffing Allies.

[M]agna_[C]arta · Apr 08, 2007, 08:17 AM // 08:17

With this Attbs. You could summon Creatures to Fight in Battle (Spirit Mana).
Also you could create barriers for foes not to escape the battleground and suffer you're creatures of nature (Terra Magic). Laslty preventing or weakening AoE damage cause of the space you and the enemy will occupy (Aero Mana & CW).
And you may also trap enemies using "Terra Mana" and Nuke them also buff you're nuking with "Aero Mana" Also with the help of "Celtic Worship".

Darkhell153 · Apr 08, 2007, 12:06 PM // 12:06

But then again druids are normally known for their ability to control plants and natural spells. I just added in the ability to control the weather for kicks ^^. And I don't know if many people would agree with this but I don't like putting celtic worship in their, it's kind of a smack in the face for people still practicing old druidism today.

[M]agna_[C]arta · Apr 08, 2007, 12:27 PM // 12:27

People still practice Druidism?
Wow, Didn't know that^^!
But would it be nice spreading in the world about them^^.

Darkhell153 · Apr 08, 2007, 12:30 PM // 12:30

Not in a game claiming they have magical powers, then they'd probably come hit me in the head with a hammer X_X.

[M]agna_[C]arta · Apr 08, 2007, 12:51 PM // 12:51

Ugh, Did any Dervish complain, About them?
And they would be happy when they play a Druid "Hey, that's us. Were popular I would wish I would change into Animals like these Druids here!^^"
Maybe this would what they say.

Wertic · Apr 08, 2007, 12:58 PM // 12:58

You read my druid?

Darkhell153 · Apr 08, 2007, 01:32 PM // 13:32

I can feel the hammer coming already X_X. (dervish isn't an actual religion) And yea I think I did, can't remember which one I got the idea of trying to make it better from XD.

[M]agna_[C]arta · Apr 08, 2007, 01:50 PM // 13:50

Somehow I don't think my thread's getting good publicity

[M]agna_[C]arta · Apr 08, 2007, 02:04 PM // 14:04

You're right there^^!

Darkhell153 · Apr 08, 2007, 02:17 PM // 14:17

At least I'm right about something XD
