Would it be unbalancing if warlocks could target spells at doors?

BigManOnCampus · 07-07-2010, 02:28 AM

Go with me on this.

1) Fort doors could come down easier, meaning more engagement instead of fort-farming-from-safety.

2) Warlocks become a class that players might spend more time protecting, along with barbs. (not that they really need this tho, as I think it's actually slightly easier to stay alive as a lock)

3) Mana spells become more important at the conflict by the door for both sides of the fight, which might help with class balance in a way. (mana comm for attackers, mana drains for defenders)

Thoughts? Whats the major imbalance from this?

Will be nice flames going when someone starts to piss off all with freezing the door ^^

No really, i dont think that would work out. Conjs inside matwalling, healing and dispelling the door while being completely safe from being attacked isnt goin to work.

I don't think this is a great idea.

Well, I do

Seriously more people would choose warlock(actually thats not really what we need) but then we would have more activity, we wouldnt need so much barbs so yeah more activity and it would stop the annoying kills from Syrtis at aggers then the door would go down way faster!
And then the real war could start!

Nice idea +1

I don't like this idea.

Warlocks aren't supposed to bash doors, but instead crowd control and kill incoming enemies. It's better to let warriors keep the door-knocking job, otherwise they lose only of their few (maybe only?) roles.

Besides, if there are no enemies to kill then the Warlock can always provide mana to the warriors and archers that need it, so I think it's unnecessary to allow spell casting on the door.

I couldn't help but notice, most of the comments against this are syrtis.... I think its a great idea.

It give the warlock something to do besides watching the zerglets get rezzed inside the lvl 4 fort after they sultar them.

So more warlocks, less barbs, nice to see your supporting the campaign to just kill off warriors altogether.

I think doors are fine as they are.

agreed, warlocks don't need anymore help. Sorry if they can't smash their way thru everything.
