Also the global cooldowns I see are rated as very short, short, normal etc though they seem to all be the same cool time, I guess its not fully implemented yet.

Positions are also a mess for me.

Note: Visual bug (I assume) on Umaril my Arcane Devotion reads 'cast speed +100%'

I dont think that he meant knights would become op, just the auras/areabuffs. Imagine 2 zergs both with -40%ranged dmg, 40% dmg resist, +100% armor mana pylon and heals, fight might never end cause nobody does any dmg. Well see whether this will happen.

Edit: Thought about it again, maybe the effect of shield wall and star shield should end when the knight dies, so to kill a zerg you would have to take down the knights first and they could act like real tanks (atm nobody attacks a knight first, the worst thing they can do is kickin you down).

Before implementing armor changes on live servers, I'd recommend you to look at my earlier post, because mages will need a way to raise their damage slightly to account the overall more effective armor that you are implementing. They've already been having trouble with protections for a long time on many spells, so let's try not to make it any worse.

Essentially what I suggested is:
- Give all direct damage spells Weapon damage +50/100% (and keep the error margin high)
- Give all damage over time spells Weapon damage +30%
- Make staff speed affect cast time so that mages must chose between either lower cast time or higher damage

As I said on IRC, there must be more incentive for mages to chose their gears instead of just being able to use any staff they want with an appropriate bonus of their chosing. Archers and warriors do not have that benefit.

Kind regards.

oups i mixed something up then. Db and heroic staying auras is fine. (If it was a long lasting area buff it would not)

Why not just 100? I don't get it! It's not like the game is enough luck-based already, no, now even a simple terror is based on luck...

I know 10% isn't much, but it'll occur and appear bugged all the time, like SotW etc...

I'm already experimenting with dropping terror. Why use a spell when you're not entirely sure it will work anyway.

I did not experience this at all, In fact when Chilko was on amun last night teleporting everyone to the same spot for fights, I was getting the smoothest warrior fighting experience I've ever had in this game. It was clear when someone I was chasing was in range, and I would actually hit them as opposed to phantom swing if I appeared to be in range on my client. Previously I would appear in range and either never swing or occasionally phantom swing because according to the server I wasn't in range. Now client positioning is much closer to reality, imo.

You want to drop terror because of a 10% fail rate on the knockdown? Your kidding right?

Look at all the warriors who use MS knowing its debuff has a 50% fail rate, or all the conjus using dispell/mass dispell regardless of its fail rates in the lower levels (not all can afford to level it to 5) barbs using Um, knights using defensive stance, conjus using mind blank ...

Seriously 90% is a lot, its not a big deal.

As with Lumi my positioning is a mess, landing a hit on a moving player (or even a standing one) is rare for me on Amun.

I just need to be sure it will work. That's just MY opinion.

Besides, it's rather interesting going without terror. Sometimes it feels like a default setup; "Okay... new setup. First Arcania up to 19 and terror to 5".

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Umaril again.
