Battlemagician Week 2 Discussions

Since my last attempt to summarize the skills in the previous thread has caused ire. I request someone within the Battlemagician community to please coordinate and summarize the abilities you wish to send to the team.

Thank you

In other words.. your too lazy to read the valuable information in this thread and gather the data on your own?... You asked for 'help' from players in balancing the game you didnt ask for them to do your job for you.

so sad that this game has fallen into your hands. You banned Lithi for stating the truth so guess I'm next? soon all Veteran players will be hushed on the forum from speaking against the empty promises and fail attempts to run this great game. good luck with FB server, soon they will learn and follow the toxicity in which the "staff" has created!

Alteris, we didn't like your summary because to us it looked like you just picked a few suggestions. Maybe ill put some work into this, but not sure. Nah

Or you can do your job and provide a framework for skills to be discussed in a structured manner, rather than give a vague statement. There is no time frame, there is no review of weekly discussions, there is no resources for players to use

You didnt even provide an extensive list of existing skills, mp, damage, cast time duration etc for players, instead, they had to do that themselves. You know its gonna repeat for other classes, so use some initiative.

SO if its not going the way you planned it to go its because you didnt plan it.

No Sav, we got 2 more weeks of copy & paste to go, then they will send it over.

I dont know why you guys bother with this. None of what you say will be inputted anyways. Silly nerfs that make no sense will happen. You older players should know this.
Did you guys so eagerly forget the polling helium did after last nerf? Did any of that go anywhere? No.

shut up pessimist

shut up pessimist

the word you are looking for is REALIST

Ok i may be too late for this but i wanted to share a little list of suggestions that might help BM and other classes to get balance ( or maybe not xD). I also want to say that there should be a lot more lvl 5 maxed skills since i find this more easy to calculate and make builds.


Well here i go:

We all know that BM is a ranged magic class, we also know that characters as Templars, Shamans and Soul Hunters are ranged classes too so why is the BM the only one that needs to be X meters from the target to cast their range skills?

Wave of healing: Recovers party members Hp ( total of 10 targets) / Cooldown 2min / Casting time 10 secs (I ll explain this )


What i want this skill to do is recover party members Hp for 10 secs , it will be a Dot skill healing 500 every sec BUT while the bm casts this skill she/he cannot move. I don t know if i make myself clear: while bm is casting this skill is taking effect meaning you will have 10 secs of 500 Hp , if this skill cancels by stun/fear it will have a 1 min cooldown ( because if you cancel and start all over will be really op )

I will keep this skill on Lv1 and it s not affected by Mind/or any stats that increase your heals.


Wave of purification: Remove the dots of target and yourself

New

Wave of purification: Recovers party members Mp / Cooldown 2mins

It has the same effect as wave of healing but recovers Mp

I will leave lvl1 on this skill


I will also skil contract with vilovy and fairy's protection I don t find them usefull for a bm with my skill tree suggestion.

Wave of healing and wave of purification should be some high lvl skills maybe but i don t know if it should be for elementalist or druid


Hope you guys like it


And i would like your opinions

*By the way i don t think heals should be stats based they should be skill based and im not saying NERF HEALS .


I will make a skill tree with elem and druid when i can


thanks a lot


Edit: Dna shoud be for lvl 50+ on your 2nd job

Edited by Gemetzel, 07 March 2013 - 01:43 PM.

IF this is actually taken seriously and players are going to be heard for once, I'm sure many older players would consider a return to ReQQ, including myself. Don't spoil this opportunity to get players back, Gravity...

I'd love to see more healer classes in the game. Examples being VIABLE Protector, Mystic, Elementalist/Druid, and possibly Dominator healer builds.

It's already possible to 'make' a healer builds for Protector and Mystic with the right (MND) gear, but they really aren't good enough to ever replace a radiant. They can support lower level grind parties fine, but who does that any more?

What would need to happen to make it viable are more powerful healing skills and DNA that need a compromise to take them, to prevent powerful classes simply gaining more / better healing skills as well as current offensive abilities.

Buffing the Heal-over-Time formula seemed like a good idea a while ago, but with today's uber gear it'd now be overpowered with some skills. Mystics already get 300+ per tick on totem with DPS gear!

It would have to be either with pure amounts of skill points, or making some new healing gear that has MND and doesn't have much CON/HP and SCAD, or ....

I'm not suggesting a direct replacement for radiants - I loved playing mine. They could be support healers for the rest of the party, maybe ulitising heal-over-time skills, and some skills for tank-healing too. Just another option, since not everyone likes playing human-ish characters, or likes the Radiant's type of healing skills.

Since I'm posting in the Battle Magician thread, I'll post some ideas for that class...

The whole idea of these suggestions are to improve healing skills but needing to use up skill points, so it would need a big compromise on offensive skills and be balanced. This shouldn't affect DPS / PvP builds too much.

Healing Wave being made stronger when it targets other players (not for personal use) - maybe 1500 at max level?
- Ability to crit on other targets!
- DNA to reduce cooldown and maybe make stronger.
- It'd be similar to Radiants' Moderate Heal with a cast time.

Instant Heal being able to target other players, and stronger if used on other players. Big bonus for max level on skill to encourage spending points.
- Able to crit (can't remember if this can already tbh)
- Existing strengthening DNA to be made better, and possible a cooldown DNA too.
- It'd be similar to Radiants' Lesser Heal that's instant-cast.

Natural Healing left as a L1 skill, but improved bonuses for higher levels of the skill. L10 currently is 24 HP... so change to maybe 150+ at L10?
- 10-15 secs effect with 30-40 sec cooldown.
- DNA to reduce cooldown.
- Would be like Radiants' party heal, but HoT-based.

Another similar skill added to the Elementalist skill tree that is only unlocked with L10 Natural Healing, to give a second party HoT skill.
- More powerful than Natural Healing, maybe 100 at L1 and 250 maxed? Prob 10-15 seconds effect and 30-40 cooldown.
- Possibly DNA to reduce cooldown.
- Would be like Radiants' other party heal, but HoT-based.

DRUIDS... are another matter. I'd love a heal-based transformation! Since Vilovy is near useless maybe utlise that.

- Vilovy moved to Druid tree as L50 skill.
- Vilovy adds maybe 1m/s movement still. A mobile healer good for picking targets in need.
- Bonus to healing skills (as Light magic damage). Possibly +50 at L1 up to +300 at L10?
- Able to use all Battle Magician healing skills while in transformation.
- Add new healing skills - some or all of :
* Party Heal-over-Time skill from L50. 50 per tick at L1 to 200 at L10? Longish cooldown.
* Party heal like Radiant one with cast time. L60+ skill.
* Powerful single-target short-range heal, for tanks. Short range skill to utilise Vilovy's bonus 1m/s movement. Run in, heal, run out.
- Possibly add DoT / status effect immunity for PvE only. Can help with stunning bosses or ones with big DoTs.



These are just ideas and I've not sat and worked out skill point usage or numbers. That's Gravity's job!
THE MAIN IDEA IS TO MAKE A DECENT HEALER WITHOUT AFFECTING OTHER BUILDS FOR THAT CLASS.

Hey-_-, there is already a healing class. Its called a Radiant. Theres also 2 support healers. Prot and Mystic. Why th-_- do you need more healing classes?-_-

you right tally Healing needs an revamp.
it should be divided from Magic Attack Power.

boby stay cool^^ even if you have a point there

Its not the first time he suggested this idiocy. He sucked massively with his rad and QQed it was oh so hard to lvl up and work with
So instead he wants 20 other classes to have heals as well.

And Heals are fine for PVE, Pvp sightly unbalanced, but with Wls being able to dash in and hush 5billion people at once, rads seem pretty balanced. Though Sleep should be tempest specific.

if they add heals as tally suggests ''without changing other build'' this mean i can have mutitarget attacks ground aoe stuns defence dash and on top of that extra heals as druid???

this no make sense...

u say it wont affect pvp builds and stuff but u are wrong,u just end up having damage dealers that can heal themselves about 13kish hp every 20~~ seconds or so...

The idea is to need so many points in healing skills that the class would be useless as a damage dealer cos there wouldn't be enough left to take many offensive skill. I'm not going to work out skill points or anything.

This works in other games well. It's just a matter of finding balance. Though Gravity's not so good at that I guess.

Radiants do a plenty good job at healing already. I just want other options, or other methods such as utilising HoT skills to make the game interesting again.

You mean like Prots solo healing in JS? Easily
Or you mean how 4 mystics timing totems can heal JS with no rad?
Thats 2 support healers already.

Seriously. Stop this idiocy. Theres already a rad. You dont need more. I know that you sucked as a rad, and you want to have another class that has 50 aoes and can out heal all damage. But its just sad. Want a healer? get a rad. Done. Thats it.

Sorry but this is just not possible with the +30 mall system in place.
Any class could hypothetically invest in these skills and do decent damage with the right gear setup.

How is it possible to achieve balance with the current mall system?

It isn't.
There will always be an imbalance somewhere along the line in this game due to that, but it doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't classes that are definitely weaker than others even fully malled.
