Stalkers OP.

Since it is stated that there aren't a lot of concrete ideas, I have some tweak ideas for a couple blood skills.
Blood Pact: Innitial damage when the scythe hits the target based on a % of matk plus a bonus maybe 4.5% of current hp like blood beam, thought the innitial matk based would be less than blood beam. But then do additional damage per second as it already does as "bleed" damage.
Life Drain: As the name suggests, this skill should drain life force from the target. Right now it curses the target for a short time at which at the end of the duration steals certain amount of hp from the target and grants a percentage to the caster. A very weak amount if you ask me. I suggest this steal a bit more for the caster to consume, but instead of a lump amount at the end of the duration, it be granted once every two seconds, like Holy Light. So maybe transfer 400-ish hp (more or less depending on matk and hp bonuses) per every two seconds untl the end of the spell duration.
Any other suggestions for individual skills?Last edited by Alexmancer; 07-12-2012, 06:35 AM.â™”

Using myself as an example, I may be hybrid, but I lean more toward blood. I only use topaz gems, I have no emeralds, the holy skills I have are buffs and light heal. I have high hp and 14.5k matk and about 11k heal pretty much just from being full int and some from soul. I deal about 20k+ per hit from one Master Blood Beam. Doing the math, my base damage with Master Light Beam (incliding my heal score but not taking other factors into acount, such as luck) would deal around 13k-ish damage (I can't actually look at the skill right now to give you the exact amount though, Im on my phone). That's the difference low heal score has compared to high hp. For a blood priest blood beam is superior. For a holy priest with high heal, light beam is superior.Last edited by Alexmancer; 07-12-2012, 06:58 AM.â™”

battle starts
priest gets a good shot off then curses a few times, their forgiveness soul kicks in and all bad buffs are purged then the battle turns since they aren't nerfed. get crippled an die
battle end
i mean rly that could go on all day w diff combo's of skills +classes an used at what interval then where you are, how the unique algorithms decide to play out each time. since ya if have generally same stat, they are "even" but your still playing with chance +luck +a whole slew of other figures. like
mage hits priest does 10k, they hit w blood skills an recover 10k+ , mage hits again but gets a 4% chance of magic pen and it randomly works an deals 50k crit gaining edge, priest nerfs and recovers +retreats to safe distance .
i don't think seng can be attributed to a solid evidence base as well unless your both along next to each other with absolutely no one else around to test powers. but yaa... as well. depends what type of soul pts are invested where. immortalitys soul dmg reduc gives knights the most epic advantage over mage, so 500 pt spent where means a lot. my dmg is halved if they have a decent amount invested into % and right skills and that'd be no matter what level i'm at , then also the incredibly high def lowers the atk even more.
Priest vs. Ranger - Priest don't even bother doing anything, you're screwed right when you see AM-Ranger they 1-3 hits you, different case against Nature Rangers, those aren't too hard.
Priest vs. Rogue - Rogue pops up from stealth, boom you're stunned and dead.
Priest vs. Knight - Use curses to keep knight at range so that they can't hit you, pretty much only possible wins you can get.
Priest vs. Priest - The one with better stats & build is winner.
Aaand if all these would run at Mage, he could use Meteor & Flame Explosion spam, boom all dead.Stalkers OP.

holy priest need to gain their INT ( gain the casting spells & Mdef )
blood priest need to gain their END ( gain Hp & Pdef )
that why for holy priest we used 2:1 ( 2 Int : 1 End ) for hybrid
blood priest they used 3 End ( for hp ) Int? they get from set equipment,weapon and soul.
if blood priest used 2:1 they will be noob ( die fast ) Hp low.
blood priest dont have skills like holly, that why all bloody skill add lots of Hp.
Bloodflow - permanently increases your magic attack as long as you HEALTH remain above 70%
Inhanced Circulation - Permanently increases HP regeneration rate & reduce incoming magic dmg.
BloodGuard - permanently increases your maximum HEALTH.
so what i found it, there are different between those to priest. and alex you are holy not blood. even you have been hybrid you still holy. you cannot learn those 3 skill same as blood priest even they are hybrid they cannot learn buff skill.
so what i figure out holy = Int & blood = End
when holy hybrid they used lots of blood priest skill >> that why its 2:1
when blood hybrid they used few holy priest skill >> all equipment,weapon & soul already give them INT. so they dont need to gain Int anymore. >> 3 to End (3:0)
* maybe some player using 2:1 on blood priest type, that why they felt week when they duel with same level as them and same equipment they used.Salvo | 5* | Anti-Mage Ranger

mage vs knight = hooked stunned and dead
mage vr rogue= randomly stunned and dead
mage vrs priest= outlasted by endurance or heal or being vampired to death
mage vrs ranger = yet another class where we have a fatal weakness and they can null our attacks from great distance.
mage vrs mage= all depend on who has what where an who gets what shot off when and heals when and what unique algorithms play into effect
especially when we are factoring the main convo being lvl 100'sfighting each other. dude,, my metoer has NO EFFECT on knights rangers and rogues most the time. wanna know why? high end rogues can get a skill which purges negative effects constantly every few second. the rest have forgiveness etc etc or such high dodge it doesn't even touch them. most knights at that high end level have 50% dmg reduction that means i am always only gonna do half my dmg to them. meaning if i'm only doing 10-20k out of seng and hit them. i'm a lv 90 hitting another lv 90 for only 5k-10dmg .IN OR OUT OF SENG and i'm DPS. rogues. dude my nub lv 40 rogue w as much agi as my scion mage has just as much dodge and crit as my mage with mostly purple slayer and 500+ soul pts. at higher levels. dude i might as well not even try hitting some of these people. omg aren't we saying just the same thing over and over, and technically i've agree'd with some of these points except ppl wanna argue nonsensical things over and over? wooow. so amazing ppl missing so much or not reading before posting.Last edited by ShadowGammaDraco; 07-12-2012, 10:12 AM.

1: Full int: ~100k hp
~1a: 100,000/100= 1,000
~1b: 1,000*4.5= 4,500 bonus dmg on BB
2: Full end: ~108k hp
~2a: 108,000/100= 1,080
~2b: 1,080*4.5= 4860 bonus dmg on BB
So you’re going to trade ~3k+ attack from going full int(at lvl 100) for ~360 more dmg on blood beam?
B: Please stop posting stuff that doesn't help the thread
A summary of some suggestions posted all throughout the thread
1: Improve grace to make it so two Light Heals don't heal more than one Grace, or give Grace a shorter cast time.
2: Make our offhand give +def or +Mattck. 2k hp gained from a lvl 80 purp enchanted offhand doesnt do any good.
3: Make Holy Light give dmg reduction, and make the healing based off targets % max hp. ~600 hp/2 sec for 6 seconds doesn’t make a difference anymore, we scaled way past it being usefull.
4: Demons Grasp: Make Demons Grasp do dmg based off % hp/sec all throughout the cast. A channeled stun that doesn’t do dmg takes away the point of a stun: being able to deal dmg when the target is stunned.
5: Life drain: The other versions have better ideas for this ability, make it reduce the targets hp % and restore that hp back to the priest. We scaled past ~1000 hp restored from this ability in its current state being useful.
Originally posted by B3lle View PostSome simple suggestions
A: Let our heals crit, make it based off crit dmg% like attacks are
B: When curses crit make them actually do more dmg based off crit dmg%
C: Make our slayer gear add both int and end(like rangers get str and int)
7: Make our blood scion rebirth skill actually work
On a side note.

On a side note.
No, the complaining earlier in the thread was about the complete lack of respect from a moderator.
Very good representative of r2 there. <-sarcasm
we keep saying stuff like that because its been all said before in many ways like i've said a few times on this thread where everyone has always made threads complaining about how they are so unbalanced compared to every other class and they should be nerfed or given boosts. and if you were to be applying for a job. if you have a super long resume thats dry and a lot of random babble. they usually toss it . because most employers only spend just a moment to skim over the persons application. memory asked for it already- a list of actual data that would help. a couple ppl like alexmancer seems to be the only one trying rly. and at least your trying with ur suggestions.
3: Make Holy Light give dmg reduction, and make the healing based off targets % max hp. ~600 hp/2 sec for 6 seconds doesn’t make a difference anymore, we scaled way past it being usefull.
the mirror for that skill would be mages ice blast. does around that dmg as poison dmg (400 as lv 1) for 6-8 sec or w/e after being shot. same situation, end game hitting someone who has 160-200k health , 1-2k DoT doesn't mean squat
+constant repitition of this

ironically that was my most beloved skill in World of darkness playing a mastigos mage. forceful presence = For a true warrior, a fight is won or lost before any weapon is drawn. An Awakened warrior demonstrates this by honing their very stare into a weapon capable of disarming their foes with a glance.
Aspect: Covert
Cost: 1 Mana
The mage overwhelms the target with sheer force of will. The target is stunned (refer to page 167 of the World of Darkness Core book) for a number of rounds equal to the amount of successes scored on the casting roll. A dramatic success on the casting roll renders the target prone. The target either falls down or stumbles to their knees from the power of the glare.

i don't personally shun the deaths i've experienced by other classes. its a learning curve. everyone has their own. but i learned from those battles how to make ppl waste their ability's . best way to avoid danger= not be there. like for fighting the priests i did. i learned to stay in one spot for a moment then move slightly to the left or right, after that moment a curse landed where i was standing. blink to other side of them and another curse lands where i was. emp winds and root =keep distance and make target come to you, by using certain tactics i've killed people stronger then me. but thats not a 1vs 1 situation as i usually always need extreme kite'ing or some diversions if its a person of my level or above since they all own me if i let them too close..generally everyone goes for the mage and priest first as well. like when doing ladder etc, everyone always says go for mage then the others. because of our awesome skills we are top public enemy's basically. most classes don't even go for strong people that would be a challenge. they find the weakest person that can net them the most points an stalk them. i've watch ppl ignore 10-15 other targets just to go for the mages and other easier targets where they have big advantage instead of a good fair fight. there are also no rules about how we fight either. so even if some changes are made, there are classes that have other classes as their prime targets
....
it honestly wont matter which fragarach orb i have now unless i cash a LOT on the server(which is impossible for me since i'm disabled IRL no $_$) that my main is on now that its merged with the other servers which most ppl have second aura already and 10-20k atk &10k def or more etc etc etc etc. and the person who has #1 character in that server is a priest as well with crazy stats . don't even stand a chance even with seng buff against these ppl. i get killed most the time without even getting to see the animation from the skill now. killed one luckily and got 50 pt honor, then they crystal reved an i went poof before i even noticed they respaned on same spot intead of in spawn zone. only difference is about 10 levels character wise. everything else they have ahead of me by far. so even if i get to level 100 w max orb. still not good enough to win a 1vs 1 with all the ppl on rankingsLast edited by ShadowGammaDraco; 07-12-2012, 11:33 AM.

My metoer has NO EFFECT on knights rangers and rogues most the time. Wanna know why? High end rogues can get a skill which purges negative effects constantly every few second. The rest have forgiveness etc etc or such high dodge it doesn't even touch them.
B: Taken from my mage friend this is his hit rate, you shouldn't have any trouble hitting things.
C: The reason you're dieing is because you going up against priests with easily 4k-5k more attack than you, we're talking about same geared lvl 100 scion Priests with 16k-20k attack outside of seng going up against same geared classes with 16k-20k attack outside seng.
Question how do you know about end game scion pvp when you aren't lvl 100 yet even?
I'm not trying to be rude here but you are saying things without having anything to back it up, mages are one of the most over powered classes in the game. Get to lvl 100 get 16k+ attack OUTSIDE of seng then go in seng and see who can actually kill you 1v1, and no you don't have to cash to reach this lvl you just have to put a lot of effort into your character.
We've given a summarized version of what we would like changed in pages 17~19, any GM is free to go back to those pages and look at our suggestions.Last edited by B3lle; 07-12-2012, 11:45 AM.Lvl: Eidolon 120

A: Yes the lvl 100 scions who have been playing since the start of the game have no idea what they are talking about, and have no knowledge of other classes skills.

my hit rly doesn't matter against ppl with crazy dodge thats 50% or more. meaning that there's a good chance half my hits are gonna miss. or say deduct 40%(ur firends) from 50% if it worked that way, means i only have a negative10% chance to hit those ppl. those characters can also move so fast because of where they developed soul. they aren't even where i meteored. there is many variables to this. as you seee my hit is only 33%. so . again. i'm not like your friends stat page an none of us play the same way or with the same tactics or during when we feel tired or exhausted or even distracted for a moment can effect how a battle ends up. even slip and press the wrong key can get you killed a lot in battle. same goes for bath. fail a heal an almost whole bath party falls apart.
again. i said it before. only way to do a true comparison would be to have gm's create a bunch of shell characters and run a billion simulations to see if there is any unfairness between classes. but then again there will always be disadvantages and advantages plugged into each class. or what would separate them from each other? if there's one all around hardcore class. what point is there for the others?Last edited by ShadowGammaDraco; 07-12-2012, 12:57 PM.
