These look kind of like Diablo 3 skill runes.
Lol, the min/max crowds tears are just great...screaming for balance in a MMORPG. Must be their first MMO because no mmorpg is ever balancedWe should have consequences in our choices, maybe this rogue will be better at AOE and the rogue beside him may be better at single target with whichever different skills Rogue 1 and Rogue 2 chose. That's really cool...so people just want to be good at CC/AOE/SINGLE TARGET/CLEAVE/HEALS at every moment of the game? That's a hero complex and there must be positives and negatives as to what your character is able to do in-game. Peoples mindsets that they need to be the best in all facets just takes away what makes RPG's so much fun. The choice.....choice should matterHaving all the skills in your hands give you way too much power. Hell, let people just switch classes on the fly while were at it, right? Just change your class on a whim.. why not
I'd love to see some abilities work symbiotically with other members if your party. For example, Souls Toll seems like a rather Dark Paladin thing, if it was redone it could be awesome: Soul Toll - Divine Toll weighs the souls of multiple targets causing a % of holy damage and a chance to cause some enemies to pay for their sins with a shard of their soul. (Every toll paid is transferred to the nearest Warlock as a shard).It would be great to see abilities that benefit both the player and a party member in group/raid activities. It could change for solo play where it heals the Pally or decreases the cost for Holy abilities. Symbiotic abilities would really change the dynamics of dungeons and raiding in a fun, intelligent way.
Awesome.
It is good they are adding in extra things/more things to the more "undesirable" covenent abilities to make them more desirable. I for one that wants to be a kyrian, is interested in the extra covenent spell effects from summon staward. Do these effects all day? Does the phails is added effects to phail of serenity or there own phail, or is it an all day effect? These things I would like answered.
