Rushed class concept ftw.

(*Shameless promotion*) Read my Ethermage, too.

I expected somebody to comment...

Added some new skills, will add armor later.

Anryla · Oct 02, 2006, 12:48 PM // 12:48

I usually dont comment on Concept classes but this seems well out thought skill wise.
But, Timely Sacrifice? 1/4 cast time to grant the team 10% Morale Boost? Even for an elite this is quite powerfull as the teammates can just res you right afterward.

Look at my Ethermage. <.<>.> That's more thought out, if you want an example of my thought.

It's one of the controversal skills...I was thinking of giving it an area restriction, e.g. "In The Area".

Also, the Phasing that's mentioned in Oubliette is included in Ethermage since it's mostly concerned with that class anyway.

LightningHell · Oct 04, 2006, 07:16 AM // 07:16

In The Area implemented.

Oubliette has "cannot move" instead of Phasing, since I think detaching those two classes would be, well, common sense?

(Psst! Somebody read my other concept class!)

actionjack · Oct 05, 2006, 05:03 AM // 05:03

Bump for Lightinghell...

maybe call it Rebalnacer? Equalizer?

The Revolutionary · Oct 05, 2006, 05:12 AM // 05:12

Nice class, but I'm not too fond of the timely sacrifice skill. Just seems a bit too strong...

And for the name, why not go with the obvious? Blood Mage sounds good, and fits the sacrifice theme.

I'm going to reduce the size to Nearby (of which then it's still pretty strong), then if it's still controversal, I'll remove it altogether.

I'm going to name it Temperamage for now because, well, he does temper with his temperaments (grammatic error, probably).

I like it :P
I have an Idea to
Sacrificial Master

LightningHell · Oct 16, 2006, 09:40 AM // 09:40

Somebody change the title of it for me?

Ridiculed · Oct 16, 2006, 04:29 PM // 16:29

Does the energy sacrifice stack with an energy cost? Otherwise it's just the same thing

Skuld · Oct 16, 2006, 04:36 PM // 16:36

If you double-click the cell of the thread name in the forum, it edits I think.

Dean Harper · Oct 17, 2006, 12:26 AM // 00:26

Pretty good class, though i think, like others have said, its overpowered in some places, especially skills. but, i might play it, its kinda like a mesmer/necro in a way. pretty cool man.

Yes, it does. The energy cost comes in after the sacrifices.

Dstroyer666 · Oct 17, 2006, 12:21 PM // 12:21

you know for energy sacrafice why dont you sacrifice maximum energy like exhaustion

Because exhaustion is a pre-existing mechanic, and I'd have to think too much about the costs, therefore my head would explode. Mainly the latter.

maybe inflict self energy degen then

LightningHell · Oct 24, 2006, 07:10 AM // 07:10

Self degen is already there in the form of maintenance.
