If the number of our Spells gets merged -> Raise our % on Reaver !

[Nakash]

<p>When our debuffs our whatever Spells gets merged on LU 38 they should higher our amount on reaver to compensate the loss. Not going in numbers in a new Tier but I hope who ever was thinking they must nerf Reaver is also aware that.  :S</p>

<p>Im only going off rumors, but if they are true and spells are combine so that we cast less often...</p><p> Im going to have faith here that SOE wouldnt totaly screw us and this situation has already been taken into account <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/2786c5c8e1a8be796fb2f726cca5a0fe.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p>

<p>A very good point and well worth raising before development gets too far down the road.  With less attacks, our signature AA line loses effectiveness and will need the effect boosting back up.</p><p>Devs please make note.</p>

[CHIMPNOODLE.]

<p>I never took that AA, and never planned too.....but that's a good point. Didn't think of that. I did post in a related ability consolidation thread in the Gameplay Discussion forum that I'm against the changes though (for other reasons).</p><p>Can hop in there if ya want and weigh in...</p><p><a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?start=105&topic_id=382718" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=382718</a></p>

wouldn't surprise me if the devs didn't even think of it and just combined the spells.. Good suggestion to point them to the possible side-effects

[Pitt Hammerfi]

yep nice catch, and worthy of dev attention

[standupwookie]

There are quite a few number of classes that have abilities that factor in CAs or them being chained and such, all types and all different levels and all tiers.Do you honestly think SOE is going to go through each classes spell and CA abilites to figure these things out?  I predict this will be the biggest backfire they have ever done.

This whole "spell-consolidation" thin worried me a bit too at first. But I have good hopes that alot of the real consolidation takes place while changing the "level-range" in which spells are upgraded (from every 14 to every 10 levels). So as I understand it spell upgrades will occur every 10 levels from RoK on, and that would mean they basically have to put 4 levels worth of spells in to that new 10 level range.Talking about REAL spell consolidation, I could live with a couple of small stuff, like the mana sieve effect then being on a spell/ca like e.g. agony, and smilar things with a STR debuff. It would make sense to put a STR debuff on a CA, like when you hit an opponent for damage their offense capabilities are weakened for a while. Thats already 2 spells which can easily be integrated in other spells/CAs and, to my opinion, we won´t loose much by it.But I agree to the main consensus that less abilities is less versatility and less fun and only caters to player which just can´t make up how to play their class.cheers

<p>I dont want it because ill make apull ill pop my mana sieve and str debuff on the mob that will die last.  Mana sieve will be on him the longes and ill get the most bang for my buck there.  Str is reduced sence he is beating on me hte longest.</p><p>I prefer to decide what mob is debuffed and when they die</p>

[geophonic]

valid point yes, did not think of that.

[Nocifer Deathblade]

<p>Good thinking..   Maybe they know about this cuz they plan to add several new T8 spells along with combined older spells then our number of spells would be the same now and post ROK, perhaps? </p><p>Maybe they knew that if they didn't combine spells at all then add ROK new spells along with our old spells then Reaver got overpowered with more spells, perhaps?</p>
