Sick of Overppowering posions!!

jack91100 · 08-21-2008, 02:58 PM

Is it really gamebreaking to allow all dps this advantage? why can't mages have scrolls that enchant their weapons similar to what posions do? and why cant bards use posions, not like there is a posioning skill. Its very aggrivating that the top tier dps classes get this advantage but no other dps classes get an equivalent. Oh, and fix the DW temp adornments this is yet a nother adavantage not all can use. Either make temp adornments for shield/symbols or stop allowing DW classes to run 2 temp adornments at once!!

Overpowering poisons?

Poison damage is balanced into the intended dps output of the classes that use them.

I imagine the drawback to poison-using classes is that they have to get up close and personal to a mob and1) Risk getting aggro the tank can't pull offand/or2) For raid encounters, risk getting caught in a devastating AE attack due to being so close to the monsterSo in a way, it is balanced.Of course, I'm pretty sure you can poison your arrows too? Never played a scout class, so I'm just speculating.

Sounds good to me. Take away poisons and buff my attacks. That way I won't need to pay a couple of gold each hour to keep decent DPS. SMILEY

It all depends on whether the typo "posions" was intended to be "poisons", or "potions". To be safe, lets get rid of them all!

I think we can chalk this up to "huh?", but here's the truth...

Poisons do around 6% of my dps. On a 6-8k parse that's 360-480 damage. That's less than 1/4 of a single hit. Adornments might hit 1% on a good day if I am hitting a very good percentage of hits. I think a single kick from a tank does that much.
