An idea for a new skill or new AA (future expansions/LUs maybe)

HellRaiserXX · 05-01-2006, 09:25 PM

Last night we were tossing around ideas that would improve the assassin, but not make them overly uber as well as things that could use some work. There were really no major areas that needed work we decided, but we came up with a cool idea for a new AA or skill.

We need a non stealth AE.

It doesn't have to be very powerful, like 800-1k against 8 mobs. It would be much like Cloaked Assault, but without the DoT. Wouldn't even have to be as powerful as that, but it would help soloing and add a little extra dmg vs group encounters. In raids it is often hard to get into position for the AEs to be the most effective without putting your life in unnessary danger, its doable, but often takes more time than the dmg it puts out warrents. It would be on 1min recast w/ a 1sec cast like the majority of our abilities.

If SOE plans to expand the AA lines in later expansions which I am sure will happen this would be a great AA.

They already have this AA. It's the first skill after the stat upgrade in the Sta line I think. It does require you have a spear equipted. Other then that it's exactly what you just asked for.

i suggested this some time ago also and i think it would be a nice idea. there is an aa that gives your auto attack the chance to hit all mobs in an ae area but i think what you are proposing is a non stealth / non positional ca that would have a recast timer like cloaked assault. it's a good idea except i'd want it to have a lower casting time.my top requests for assassin changes in order would be:1. replace muderous design with a straight hate deaggro like the ranger ca2. double attack in our str line instead of increased parry3. ability to summon tier appropriate arrows in reasonable numbers (that's a distant 3 behind the first 2 though)

I'd rather have Deadly Focus and Honed Reflexes made to until canceld concentration buffs before any AA skills were changed really =

I want an AA where I can spawn a shadow duplicate of Myself for a certian duration of time SMILEY (Oviously it attack's)

& an AA where We can Apply Poisen's to Our own blade's :/
