Discussion; secondary class doesn't matter.

As far as I can tell, secondary classes do two things. They provide a list of adornments to spells and abilities of the primary class, and they are used to determine stats gained with each new level.

So, if our primary archetype will be where all of our base spells and abilities come from, and our secondary will provide those base spells and abilities with adornments we can select to apply, we can assume that the difference between a tank/tank and a tank/ranger will be almost entirely contained within the adornments each of these two classes have access to.

The thing is, we will gain access to more adornments as we adventure out in Verra.

In my experience playing MMO's, the best things are always the things that take the most time to get. If you apply this basic principle to these adornments, which group are likely to be better - the group of adornments you get as you level your character, or the group of adornments you actually spend time to gain access to?

Now, I admit I am making a few assumptions here - adornments found in the world will be based on primary archetype, not actual class is one assumption I am making.

What this says to me is that once players have spent time in Verra, once a large number of players have access to the ariety of adornments on offer outside of the class system, the bulk of players - those wanting to be the most effective at what they do at least - will likely all start using adornments on their spells and abilities that came from sources other than their secondary archetype.

If this is the case, if a tank/tank and a tank/ranger have the same spells and/or abilities selected, and the same adornments attached to them because they are the 'best' adornments, will there be any difference between a Guardian and a Warden?

Monk from Everquest 2.

Jedi Masters from Star Wars.

I hope you’ve found these references and concepts to be cool. I hope you enjoy Ashes of Creation in the future and I’m grateful for the opportunities and support.

Thank you for your time,
Neurath.

Skill updates (ranges):

Ranged increase (anglic war waves) extra large AoE.
Saint Swap to medium aoe cone.

The base concepts are complete.
Neurath.

Skill Update (Bat Bombardment).

Guardian Angel opened my mind.

Bat Bombardment can also charge to single targeted allies too. Dual function, Extra Large AoE.

Thank you ^^
Neurath.

No. Skill change request rescinded for bat Bombardment due to balance issues.

Sometimes, I can be too stoned for sense.
Thank you Dygz lol.
Peace.
Neurath.

I forgot to state:

White Light Auras are Extra Large AoE.

Concept reference: Celestial Healer. DCuO.

CoR (my ip) I can't advertise I believe but trust both concepts would be protected. The developers have access to my details. (White vortex reference if checks are required).

Anyway, whispers to the stoned are like words to the wise man.

Cheers,
Neurath.

Do all the primary/secondary combos. Then through in the racial augments.

Buff update (divine magic):

Further resource management/ support for the shield battery:

5 x Extra Large MoT.

Also, individual debuffs for this class do not stack.

Cheers,
Neu.

It takes a solid surface to make a sheet of paper balance.

I'm off to work, Happy Mother's Day and all the best. Would work full time for you all if wanted.

Adios Amigos,
Neurath.

Can you clarify this one a bit? No stacking at ALL?

LMAO

The new update for the system is thus:

Dual levels removed from armour and weapons. Conflicted stats (all stats) removed from items and weapons.

New item levels firmed at the 5 coloured tiers. No level requirements.

Dodge chance removed. Dodge is now a flat damage reduction.

Armour:
Light: Absorb Damage.
Medium: Dodge Damage.
Heavy: Deflect Damage.

Armour Parameters: first colour 1% resistance per piece. 5th tier is 5% per piece.

Weapon Parameters: penetration (all sources) first colour 2%, fifth colour 10%.

I will create 128 classes which does not cover the base classes. When I'm paid and free hehe.

The system stated here relates to combat tests. I do not need feedback from people who judge words and not facts.

These changes must be done to the basic engine both Shamans have created before I outline a tank.

Also, it will be lush when I don't have to go without sleep for 5 days straight in order to assist the development.

Cheers,
Neu.

Armour and weapon reference: Star Wars Galaxies.

Ps. To the noobs -25% debuff, applied once is 25% from one class to 500 if they are in range. Do you want 500 -25% back?

Please keep quiet and learn instead of showing your lack of actual conceptualisation and combat construction on a small to large scale.

Thank you,
Neurath.

Ps all base stats for each base class will also be removed.

Edit: spelling mistake.

Right, anger and edits are no good. Let me explain:

Player 1 is the only buffer for team 1.

Team 2 has 500 buffers for team 2.

Team 2 should not be able to stack 500 buffs onto themselves because 1 x buff equals x 500 and 500 x 500 = 250,000. This means team two woukd debuff team 1 by -6,250,000 against 500.

My apologies,
Neurath.

Clarifaction:

Team 2 debuff would be 6,250,000 extra vs 7500 extra percentage reduction.

Peace,
Neurath

Edit: correction.

Also, armour reduction calculations must be applied to the damage remnant after all three Shields are applied to Demonic Shaman. It ensures we never have 100% resistance without a buff. Also, Guardian Angel Calculation occurs after armour reduction calculation.

Thank you for your dedication,
Much love,
Neurath.

Clarification:

Armour is All Source Resistance,
Cheers,
Neurath.

Clarification:

Weapon Resistance Penetration is All Source.

Cheers,
Neurath.
