Won't that make them to be just the same as the elem spell? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)  There must be a better way to do it... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)




/me prepared for incoming rage

Just stray from flavour of the month builds and you should be fairly safe. If 1 build represents too large a percentage of the playerbase you can bet something's gonna give.

Problem is I go out of my way to avoid the recommended builds and the builds I hear a lot of hype about normally speaking. I normally use builds that I hear people say are inferior.

So unless there are a lot of other people using these inferior builds on purpose to give themselves a 'challenge' in the game...

Dear Snowflake-sama.
Today I got 4 LG Metals from all my monsters.
Please do something with it.
Thank you.

Sincerely yours,

Tenboro already stated he is looking into changing imperil due to an exodus away from hol dark into ele

Refugees not welcome. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I've always been with elemental and never jumped on the Holy/Dark gravy train. Now that they abused the hell out of those, they think they can abandon ship and tear down Elem? They can GTFO.

Seems like capping profs is easy again. My cloth is maxed for the first time ever and my Divine/Forbidden are back to max as well.

I feel that equipment prof is easy to gain. I've just capped Two-Handed.
Magic prof was raising kinda slowly right after the patch, but it's okay now.

Mage and m3lee felt tye same when frith visited

Tenboro should just make the magic stuff based on proficiency like with melee stuff and armor. Have it so that the higher your proficiency and ability levels, the larger the hit range, the lower the cooldown, the faster the cast speed, the lower mp costs, etc.

it's funny to read all the rage.
This game had change so much since the very first time I played it, and some people just want it the way it used to be..... on wich version?
he, he, he, he...
Hillaryous...
Just play the new version, and enjoy..... and fap once in a while.

Just play the new version, and enjoy.....

In case you haven't noticed, most are trying to make the best of the new patch. Doesn't mean we have to like everything about it. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

More drops than before.

Not sure if serious or trolling

Might want to work on your english as well, that helps with communicating with others

On a separate subject, is there anyway to get a "reload" in the Riddlemaster? I just failed a RM thanks to the (at the time of this post) 503 routing issue giving me no pony image and then timing out because Pony Derp wouldn't reload the quiz.

I will have to say the experience point increase on the mobs demise is a big plus (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

A little more cycling of the elemental spells than I'm use to, due to the cooldown, but getting the hang of it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My monster is well fed, fat, dumb and lazy ..... morale meter pegged at "all kinds of happy" (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Now if I had 300 extra Ability Points to finish filing out my wish list, I'd be "all kinds of happy", but I have the patience of rock (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

So, I can wait (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Would there be any problems with removing Mid-Grade Materials? The real issue is that Low-Grade Mats are almost useless to me, but you can't have a medium without two extremes so the mid-grades should go. I was thinking they could be retired next patch and then removed the patch after that or a month later, which ever is more appropriate.

I just found out noticed I got an extra mastery point, and maybe a couple extra ability points (5 or 6). Without training. Did this happen for anyone else?

Ether Theft drain augmentation is dependent on Soul Fire, which procs from Holy spells.

Spirit Theft drain augmentation is dependent on Ripened Soul, which procs from Dark spells.

They are benefits integrated into those respective classes which are desirable as bonuses with a "pure" build. I'm not talking about Dark mages getting Ether drain or Holy mages getting Spirit drain. My point is that Elemental lacks such an option entirely.

Due to this and the possibility of alternating strong procs, that is the reason I think Imperil should remain more effective for Elemental than Holy/Dark. Tenboro may tweak Imperil or spell costs if he thinks it's not fair, but he may have already decided that it's already fair given the bonuses they have over Elemental.

I think the only legitimate justification for making Imperil for Holy/Dark as equally effective as Elemental would be if Breached/Blunted status effects were decoupled from each other, Breached has its 10% mitigation reduction changed to something that doesn't improve damage, and Elemental gains a damage-over-time status effect and drain augmentation.

Then the whining about Holy/Dark not getting as much reduction from Imperil wouldn't be so laughable from my perspective.

Ether Theft is 100% not desirable, since there already is Ether Tap that works much, much better and has no cooldown.

Spirit Theft is the only really desirable one, and that belongs to Dark spells.

So apart from Dark mages, every other mage types must spend the same amount of APs and the same number of slots to get Ripened Soul Proc and the Spirit Theft augmentation. However, dark mages *seem* to need holy proc for damage, so they need to cycle holy/dark somewhat (not sure on this one). So they really are not getting much for free, IMO.

And I'd agree completely if Imperil wasn't so obviously unbalanced. -50% MMI and -50% specific mitigation is nothing to joke about. If it was the old -25% each then I'd have no complaints, but as it is, it is too much of an advantage.

You also wouldn't complain if breached did -50% mmi (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Old case. This happened in a few days after this patch was released. Actually, I'm goofed up for the MP reset. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

It wouldn't bother at all if Imperil also affected holy and dark mitigation, but I would be very disappointed if nerfing Imperil is Tenboro's way of reversing the exodus away from holy and dark. And it probably is. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) Elemental is finally at a point where I don't really have any complaints about it, except maybe for the lack of Spirit Theft.

Which is why I say Ether/Spirit theft from drain need to be decoupled from holy/dark

I wouldn't, but then that'll be too OP and everyone else would complain (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Well right now you only really need to spend the points into soul fire/ripened soul and the drain points. I don't see how coupled it is to holy/dark. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Or you mean we should have 2 separate spells that applies those procs that also needs to be upgraded, deals shit damage and tiny range + cooldown, and then having to use drain on top of that? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
