Imho drop rate should be increased a tiny bit in favor of Spirit and Mana potions, over Health ones.

I mean even after the patch (no auto heal, so we now use some pots to keep going after arenas) you just stock a ton of them, and in battle you're kinda wasting a slot if you're picking an healing pot over a mana one (more total heal, chance to proc channeling)...

I second Sushi's suggestion for Undeads!
I'm not sure about that, they already have like the lowest WIS in the game, and with their weakness in Elec/Wind, damage on them should be pretty much the highest a mage can deal - major weaknesses aside.

Giving them even Darkness weakness not only sounds a bit lazy to me ("let's give the most common monster in the game a major weakness to the most common element"), but also kinda messes up with the balance, since they'll be weak to basically everything a mage use...

Besides, what really Giants screw up are melees, since everyone who doesn't own a rare ethereal mace (way harder to obtain than a top end mage weapon) is just screwed agaisnt them - and even with an ethereal, they're bulky enough to do fine.

Its only the most common Monster because it is strong against everyone.
If I want to make a Monster to piss off Dark mages one would think a Daimon is the way to go? Wrong! Its much easier/cheaper to add some dark res to a giant and have much better results.
Giants are pretty much the only Class which is successful against all sort of Playing styles. Adding a major weakness would balance it out a bit and give Daimons some place to shine.

Low WIS does not really matter with that much HP and positive res.

buktores Idea could work too since it would help melees as well.

IMO only buffing other classes of monsters would help, but that would be a bad idea for everyone (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Tenb have said he planned on adding more features into monsters lab, so I hope that would balance everything... I HOPE

Yeah... That's why I keep quiet about monster lab up til now even though as it is it's so broken. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) (the 'END reduction' was just... how should I put it ... an 'example', I guess, not a request from me)

That's also why I keep quiet about forge even though it seems broken.... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Remove all kinds of damage-type/elemental resistances from Giants. They're bulky enough anyway, and Melees won't be forced to use Ethereal clubs/maces over non-ethereal ones. And mages actually have a somewhat difficult time with them, so you KNOW something's wrong with them.

Tenb doesn't seem to think so, though, at least when it come to high-grade material... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

But who knows.. There might be some hope about the special material and stuff. Why don't you give it a shot and be a bit vocal about it. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I still think nothing wrong with Forge. if there is something to help it should be a rather costly Hath Perk.

No, I don't have any problems on high-grade materials. I think it's perfect as a credit sink.
Also pretty balanced so lower-level players can use their low-graded materials.

The main issue's from upgrading rare armors though.
Why in the hell do I need to pay a phazon per EDB upgrade on my phases, when I don't need to do so per MDB upgrade on my destruction staff?
Almost the same thing, but with totally different costs.

Because you can only have one staff.

The forge: abandon all hope, ye who enter here (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif)

I got nothing worth forging yet so meh...

I don't understand the logic of your statement, but I'm not going to question that

Random Bonuses for Puzzle like

1:- Double your Item Drop rate Chance for 20 turns

2:- Increase your loot quality for 20 turns

3:- Give extra experience boost for 20 turns

And last

4:- Increase your Damage for 20 turns

If don't like then avoid (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Because you can only have one staff.

Shouldn't it be the other way around then?

Long story short, weapons don't need rare components for basic upgrades because eventually they'll have other upgrades that'll require rare stuff.
