Curse

A new warrior elite shout, capped from the prince himself.

10en
40 recharge
(Strength)
"For Prince Rurik!"

For 5...15...20 seconds, all allied mellee damage is fire damage, with an aditional 25% chance to critical hit.

I think this skill is balanced, as of the high energy cost and recharge time. I dont know how much extra damage a critical hit does, but i know its quite decent. Also, it's only mellee damage, so warriors/sins/dervish weapons only. Please post constructive critisicm. The pic should be of a black sillouette, with a golden outline, holding a FDS.

Rurik FTW!

EDIT : The 20 secs is at 16 str.

Who is Prince Rurik?

maby it should set fire to them because to deal fire dmg is kinda lame

ot atleast set all nearby foes on fire when it ends

"Hundred Blades Undead Prince Rurik - Hell's Precipice - Undead"

Bosses don't have 2 elites, and unless you can magically kill the LIVING Rurik, no.

theres is a elite ranger spirit that does the same thing

LiamR · Sep 21, 2006, 08:05 PM // 20:05

The fire dmg isnt the main part, its just the criticals. Just an added affect, as he has his FDS. And they could, of course, make it cappable from another boss, and change the name/image. Please be constructive and dont bitch ^^

Prince Rurik is an important storycharacter from the Prophecies campaign... i assume you only played Factions, so i wont tell any spoilers in case you decide to buy Prophecies as well

Addone_Abaddon · Sep 21, 2006, 08:06 PM // 20:06

I'd say "For Ascalon!"

LiamR · Sep 21, 2006, 08:15 PM // 20:15

Yes, that would be better, and maybe minus the fire dmg, not elite, and only gettable from rurik and senji's + ember light.

Correct assumption

I asked because ive seen some charracters having his name...
Tnx for the info.

I'd say the skill isn't particularly useful, for a Warrior elite, and it's also rather unbalanced. 25% critical hit increase? Assassin exploits, anybody?

Plus, you'd need to amend the skill description so that in only affects allies "within earshot," 'cause that's all that Shouts can reach.

TheMadKingGeorge · Sep 21, 2006, 10:56 PM // 22:56

its FOR prince rurick not i am prince rurick

xiao1985 · Sep 22, 2006, 02:20 AM // 02:20

maybe enchanced atk speed instead of critical strike chance?

Lordhelmos · Sep 22, 2006, 02:56 AM // 02:56

Leeroy was Prince Rurik:
Item Spell. For 30 seconds hold the ashes of Prince Rurik and lose 1-5 IQ each second. When you drop the ashes of Prince Rurik, all W/mo allies in the area have the irresistable urge to charge into the largest nearby enemy mob while yelling "For Ascalon."
<CAST TIME: 1, COST: 25, RECHARGE: 15>

I like it...
maybe make it Set on Flame instead of critial... as critial seem more of the assassin thing...

Would work well with 100 blade.

"I AM Prince Rurik!"

Elite shout. You turn into Prince Rurik acquiring his health, skills and attributes. As a logical consequence all friends and enemies are (Willingly) forced to attack you.

The true form of 'For Prince Rurik!' should give a damage decrease and make you take triple damage of Devourers and Stone Summit Dwarves. Should also give you the ability to get killed by a useless dwarf with no elite skills. Oh and who could forget the ability to be manipulated by a lich and become a minor irritation...............
