Lots of cool new things on test so far but....

Suraklin · 10-06-2010, 11:49 PM

I like a lot of the things on test for the PVE stuff so far. However my main is a Summoner and I and many other Summoners are still waiting for the day we finally see that our pets will share our stats in test update notes. Please hurry up and do it instead of the same old crap "we're looking into it". You've been "looking into it" for what seems like years now. Is it really that freaking difficult to code?

Also for the millionth time. Please make dumbfire pets immune to aoe damage so there's actually a reason to cast them in spell rotation. Thank you.

No, please make dumbfires into real DOTs.

+1, kinda ridiculous that someone in full lvl 70 treasured gear and someone in full T3 90 gear do the same damage with a spell if they are both Master, adept, ect.

Rhadamanth · 10-07-2010, 12:54 AM

Yes, it is ridiculous. Plus it would be nice for us necros cause splurt would affect it too, and we might actually be able to do pretty good DPS.

You mean make Summoners into Sorcerers? Just roll a Sorcerer... you SUMMON pets to attack, that is what SUMMONERS do... if you just want hard hitting mages with lots of DOT's play a sorc... or a chanter...

Necros are DOTs... Their myth is specifically FOR DOTs. Sorcerers are DD, so I'm not sure what you're saying here. Both are DPS classes, one does DPS over time, one does it all up front.

Summoners/Chanters/Warlocks are DOTs... Their myth is specifically FOR DOTs. Sorcerers Wizards are DD, so I'm not sure what you're saying here. Both are DPS classes, one does DPS over time, one does it all up front.

Fixed.

But... but....

i also have DoTs... and i have a (Dumbfire) Pet... does that make me... *shudder* a Summoner ?

*runs away screaming, tries to bleach the Part of his Brain were Protofire is stored*

---

On a more serious note, what exactly does this have to do in a Forum which is for Stuff ON TEST, where we are supposed to share our TESTED things ? Is it not something for the Summoner / General / Feedback ?(not that i am against this, just a question)

Regards, theriatis.

Fixed.

Necros are more geared towards DOTs, which is what I was referring to... Because their myth makes their dots increase in damage over time, same with SKs. The other mage classes don't do that. I believe every class has DD's and DOT's, but some are more toward one side of DPS than the other. And I would definitely say necros are more on the DOT side of DPS. And since one of our hardest hitting spells (undead horde) is a dumbfire spell, it kind of makes it useless since it isn't affected by gear and since they rarely even live for more than 5 seconds. So I am saying dumbfires would be better off as DOTs.
