Cosmectic change to Ursine Line?

[Kaeth]

<DIV>Hello all,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'd like your opinion on the following;</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Since we Mystics commune with the ancestral spirits and draw upon spirit buffs why not make "bear-form" frome the Ursine line a spirit bear. To support this, our dog is a spirit dog and the "Attendant"  is a spirit as well.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Would be a great sight to see a big spirit bear accompanied by his spirit dog run around eq2.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Kaeth on <span class=date_text>07-29-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:37 AM</span>

<DIV>out of all the odd things requested on the forums.....that actually makes some sense <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  doubt it will happen though</DIV>

Well, for one thing, we are not dead, or spirits, we are alive. We take on the avatar of the great bear as it is in life - strong and sturdy. Our umbral attendant and spirit companion are not "real" or alive, they are transient, spiritual beings, astral projections perhaps, that come to our aid for a short time. To me, the way things are now makes more sense.<div></div>

    I concur with Mystique here, although this sounds like an awesome idea for a future spell/ability/etc.<div></div>

It would be cool if we just got a fluff spell that let us make one target in our group take on ghost textures.  Then if you wanted to be a spirit bear you could, or you could also use it for lots of other fun stuff. <div></div>

 I do not think we just get our spirit when we die, but is a part of us in life as well and can at times tune our awarness to it.:smileywink: Hehehe

Did'nt we used to have a buff that turned the grp into ghost bears for 30 sec's or something like that ? <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

It wasn't a buff, it was one of our Emergency Wards.  It may still be there for all I know.  I don't have any of those on my hotbars, and can't remember the last time I cast one.<div></div>

[Terq]

<DIV>Oh yeah, my bad.  I forgot about that.  Wasn't that the emergency group ward?  Can't really remember. </DIV>

Just checked the EQ2 handbook ..it was a lvl 48 spell called Wards of the Eidolon.. pretty sure it used to give the group the proc we used to have with bear form or something like that on top of a ward.. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

[tebion]

iirc that proc was only there pre LU 13<div></div>

<P>I'd really like to see each step of our bear form look different. Like a brown bear for one, black bear for another, polar bear for next, ghost bear for the next or something and so on. I know they'd eventually have to reuse colors as the game gets more levels and we get new spells but still. Always a big brown bear is a bit boring. </P> <P> </P><p>Message Edited by Calendri on <span class=date_text>08-03-2006</span> <span class=time_text>10:55 PM</span>

I'd prefer the different appearances as fluff spells.  Theres plenty of 5 level intervals where they could be put in.  As a seperate fluff spell, you gain the option of choosing when you want to mix it up, instead of it just being every 14 levels. <div></div>
