What were we all agreeing on again? hiccup!
O err ya I agree that the spell system needs some creative revamping. How about a lvl 8 summon gin spell? You drink it get an armor rating of 50 and can't cast any more spells till it wears off...and you keep going *Hic*.
The game differently needs to be changed to cater to the basic wino more.
Mahahahahahahahaahiccup!

well new mages spells will be fine as long as they don't put in any more super pvp spells like mindblast. A gm mage mana dumping with mindblast is bad enough

I agree On All Counts! I think The Ele's Should be in a group of Polymorph Say Ele, and The same Screen Jump up with your Ele Choice Or just simply said before Polymorph other! *I really like the Ice Bolt too*:)) Every Post Here Says it all! And Ok So I can go to Ice And Para and Ebolt and Flamestrike a Troll to death, BUT Get a Ice Ele On you which Happens very often, And then your running around trying to Blade it to death in between the what 5 to 7 sec delay you get waiting to cast.... Hmmm, And then come the Ratmen! Now how many have said OOooOOO In there? LOL..... Totally OSI, Let's Get a Few New and Powerful Spells:))))

yes. please. new 8th level spells. not so much in the offensive arena though. we need more defensive spells. like maybe a "complete heal" spell. heal all remaining hp. also a stealth spell. can only be used for 10 steps before being recast though. maybe an armor spell. like adds 20 armor points. we also need manna regeneration potions. every other class has a potion that is useful to them. why not the mage?

i agree ... we need to re-gain some ground here.

almost every mob that is a caster ... can dispel any of our summoned pets, and that's ridiculous. What they seem to want is, mages to run around in full plate with shield and sword, or hang round town selling scrolls and rune books, or use us for gating people all over the place.


Has anyone ever found a real use for the Earthquake spell?

How about "leaden feet", slow them dexers down a bit for a breif period, or a dex hit spell that doesnt just lower current dex but total dex, so their healing times go up

ok yes i agree 8th lvl sucks and im no mage but you guys just want to be the most powerful in the game....AGAIN how many of you played in beta and just as uo final release came out no casting delay for spells fireball did 20 damage and every pk was a mage that just beat the living hell out of the fighters. i refuse to do that again sorry.
 
L

Lord of the KBR

Guest
once again i dont entirly agree but if you do i got an idea
disrupt-cancel a spell being cast by another. i.e you see the words corp por you cast disrupt then boom they have to recast&gt;=) only works in pvp though=(
 
L

Lord of the KBR

Guest
this is rediculous you want to be wayyyyyy to powerful greater direct damage 75 damage?! oh with a war hammer thats a CAN NOT AN ALWAYS and a usually not.plus its not something that can be repeated in 3 seconds later if you wanted that the spell delay on every spell after that would have to be 15 secs and so would it if the other fighter was already damaged otherwise 2 hits and er dead.
also fighters can only do that much because you wear crappy armor if you buy invul studded then it be no different than fighting a warrior. plus resist is hard enough to gain in the first place so youd still clean us warriors.
btw i got nothing against mages but i just provididng the other sides arguement and will continue to post such arguements everytime i see something outrageous like that.

Hi Everyone /shared/forum_images/beige/icons/smile.gif

Ok Ya'll are not gonna Believe this!!!!!!!!! I found a Good Use for EQ!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!
In Hyloth Last night and Playing with those Lovely Balrons /shared/forum_images/beige/icons/wink.gif hehe

Well Draining all my mana on MS and FS.. I thought what the hell...... I cast EQ! Ya'll are not gonna believe this but 2 EQ's Brought him down MORE then 2 MS ever would!!!!!!!!!! Yes! I cast EQ till he was half health, then MS till he does his little flying act /shared/forum_images/beige/icons/smile.gif Then I run in and out with EB! Yep, About 5 EB finish him off! I could not believe it! Ya'll have to try this!

I could nor would have ever believed EQ was good for anything other then sucking all my Mana, But I was amazed! And to beat All, Less Regs so yes made that Balron worth my time /shared/forum_images/beige/icons/smile.gif

Hey atleast it is good for Something right?

Hope everyone trys this /shared/forum_images/beige/icons/smile.gif

EQ only affect balron when it has it health from 75%-100%. Anything below that will not work well. :)

I love the idea for better summon spells. Here are some ideas:

Either 1, there could be a Greater Summon Spell which summons Dragons, Lich Lords, etc. at FULL STRENGTH. However...there is only a one in three chance of summoning an obedient one. If you are unlucky the summoned monster immediately turns on the caster. Something that can produce a nice result, but also a bad one.

OR

There could not be a summon spell, but a Control spell. You would have to go to the lich lord room and cast the spell on a lich lord, and then you can control it for a while. After maybe 1 minute you have to control it again, or it will turn on you. Same with drags, etc.

The above spells could be made even more cooler if instead of treating the summoned or controlled creature as a pet, your soul gets transfered to the creature, and you can walk around as it and cast its spells etc. Haven't you always wanted to be an elder gazer? However, your mage character is stuck without anyone in him - ie he is frozen so it is very easy to kill him. Perhaps with the Control spell, as soon as you control a creature, your mage is transported to some place in Bucs Den, so you need friends to protect you while you are out in your new Shadow Wyrm..

Sorry, forgot one more spell...Evil Smite:

Its a sacrificial spell, when u cast it you are killed and your target is either killed or brought to 5% health or something like that.

no need for changes at all
All this crap about "Greater Summoning" is just stupid, summon full strength daemons??? Drakes? Dragons? HELL NO. make mages way too powerfull again

Either revamp the spells or at least reduce casting times across the board.... link it to intelligence like healing speed is linked to dexterity.

group the summoning spells... and make em worth summoning, maybe make them somewhat resistant to dispelling.

i like the control spell idea.. may be difficult to implement

how about a spell like DnD stoneskin.. so you could cast without disruption,lasts a certain number of hits before dispelling, hits not hit points,,, surely they could modify the reflect spell to do this?

more along the defensive lines, what about a spell to give you immunity to certain effects for a short period e.g poison, paralysis

offensively maybe a spell like deathstrike, 40-60dam

and of course my fav, the ability to charge items or even create minor magic, link it to crafts if they have to but let us make magic items.

Mere ramblings ... of course we know that whatever they give mages, other classes will receive as good if not better.

Modify the eq....Make it a poison wave....a fire wave...something like that. EQ sucks granted, but if it were like the summons...make it elemental based. Make a general summons and have 3-4 eq's. They would still affect everything 1.25 screens away (friends and foes alike), but allow is mages to decide which is more important....the guranteed 20ish damage from eq, possible lvl 2+ poisoning, or the constant effect of burning....the fire would disappear, but the burns would remain for a temporary time. That would still give the dexxers in the game a huge advantage...but possibly allow the mages a better chance for survival in group battles.

I totally agree. We work our way up to GM only to get a bunch of summoning spells which are pretty much useless except for training people, rez and evortex are the only two usefull ones.

8th Circle needs to be looked over and IMO, revamped. Got my vote!

*J'za double checks his "fix-8th-circle-spells" ballot to make sure there is a clean perforation and that are no questionable hanging chads or dimples that would void or otherwise nullify his vote* (Hey, I'm a Floridian, 'k? :) )

I am not a super GM'ed mage, heck I am not even a true expert yet, but what if a GM mage/craftsman was able to make magic items as his/her 8th circle spells???
