fix useless skills to be usefull again likeFollow

fix useless skills to be usefull like alcohol tollerance, what use does it have in the game ? none that i know of but a bit fun the first few times you do it. or getting a few to do it with you and race some where.
but why not have it help your stunning resistance, the higher your skill the less chance you'll get stunned in battle.

and the other skills language skills , on the role playingserver there's no common toung so you have to work on it,to speak to other players
but for the other servers it really has no use. but why not having learing the language's help our faction out. like having 100 skill takes one lvl faction , and again at 200, just getting 2 hits for it would help a bit. this could help lets say iskar monks who have to get in to freeport and queynos city for epic start quests. i've spent 5 hrs killing orcs and am still hated in freeport, but if i learnd human language then it could at least make my faction the middle one i forget whats it's called but lets you in bearly.. and getting the skill ups shouldn't be to easy but a few hours of talking in it while in battle or camping would increase at least 50 points.

trade skills, i'd like to see way more quests for them. like everquest 2, go camp and farm items to make things and get exp and other ites or recipes that way. and make it farm no drop items so no one just buys from bazaar to do the quests. make the trade skills fun again and have players want to do it. i hates spending 10 hrs striaght getting achemy from lvl 1- 179 and looing 15k in the process worked long time on jewery too. no proble it taking long time just borring soing it. if i was killing or running to npcs though out the land collecting the items to make an npc and item for a quest of exp and skill points, at least i wouldn't be wishing a had a macro porgram to click 1000 times the same items for skill ups

any other ideas on skill improvments or fixing older content to make it worth doing again

hey sence heading let us work on that skill from 100-300 and have it mabe help increase swimming and runing speed, and maby prevent the type of hit from mobs that make us spin around

oh hey maby also have alchole tolerance skill help fear resistance too. as alcoholics never fear things... (i think i don't really know. and if i offend any one i'm sorry i don't mean too)

I would rather they fixed it so that usefull skills like paladin pacify pulling worked past lvl 55, the tie and effort put into learning how to do that properly was wasted once i hit 60...

Was begging EVER useful?
i remember i started an Erudite pally and tried to beg from vendors waaaaayy back in the olden days.

After getting ground-pounded by the vendors for the 25th time i gave up on begging

After getting ground-pounded by the (green) kobolds in Toxx forest, i gave up on the Erutite Pally.

You sir are no Pally I feel the ability to Paci pull ranks right up there with FD so If at 55 every player that had FD lost it how would that be. or Mez for a Chanter take that away. It is the one facet of grouping where Pallys excel.

Up till two weeks ago I was a sought after Puller with a good rep and in some area still am. but as I move on in the game a pally is a good off tank in undead situations and that is about it. I can pull argo faster than most anyone I play with using every trick I know but other than undead pallys DP suck we dont have the mitigation of a monk nor the ac/hp crit hit of a warrior. The Paci pull was the one thing that made use desirable over some other class.

If you ask what class make up a good group at lv 70 (unless the target is undead no one would include a Pally in that group of six. also it makes soloing as a Pally impossable in most places.

example of group in lv 70 zone Cleric/Warrior these 2 are almost universal nec/wiz/mage/sha/cha typicaly at least 2 to 3 of these. and the and off or assist tank-puller monk most common due to FD ability or Bard due to ability to "pacify" (huh)

Oh, like necro's mez? Or fear? Or heals, lulls? All tools of the necro's trade which become totally defunct upon 55 or so.

In GoD you need alcohol tollerance for a number of area's for you will get drunk after traps and a fight in Uqua.

Language skills are needed for a charm that drops in WoS (tainted heart stone) for casters.

Trade skills, there are heaps of them. If you want to tradeskill you can. You hvae to have some levels for epic 1.5 and 2.0.

AT is very useful in many raids.


you get to 70... then tell us what classes an ideal 70 group has.

especially if neither have high end raid gear, there are so many places I'd prefer a paladin it's not even funny. even w/ highend raid gear, there are many places I'd prefer them.

paladin miti >>>> monk miti.

no one cares that warriors crit hit a little more often than pallies.

it's nothing like an SK losing FD would be. if you say that, you've never played an FD class.


and... DP = ?... I was thinking double penetration, but somehow I doubt that was what you meant =p

ooh, now stun is something I can agree on. Raise the duration to 75 (or whatever the highest XP mobs are now,) flag certain raid bosses immune (like - so you cant bo back to ntov and chainstun aary in to the ground,) and UNLINK THE DAMN THINGS. I hate linked spells, so pointless. (with a few exceptions, I don't think they should exist. Admittedly, I can see why the SK manataps are linked, though.)

I just think it is pretty sad to have Alcohol Tolerance > 180 and still get wobbly after 2 drinks.

Have not tripped any Alcohol traps so no idea how I would fare against one, but c'mon. If I get AC to 200 I should be able to quaff at least 10 drinks before getting woozy or down 20 before I get tunnel vision and slurred speech.

Linked spells refresh at the same time meaning that if you cast 1 of em, the other will be "greyed" out until the 1st one refreshes.

As above mentioned about paladins having linked spells, our OOW stun is linked with our best pre-oow stun, so it makes it useless to have both of those stuns loaded.

These spells must be linked, or paladins would be way too powerful. It would be too easy to stun lock mobs.

I don't think it would be all too overpowering. even on mobs where that would give you enough stuns to lock them down.. stun locking takes a lot of mana, and would only be good on normal xp mobs.

isn't there only the ancient stun and serene command that work to 70? that's only enough for 14 seconds of the 24 refresh on SC.

maybe bump up manacost a bit so it wouldn't be doable 100% of the time, but I still just don't see paladins being able to stun mobs in MPG constantly all that overpowering.

(very few pallies with the AStun will be xping in mpg anyhow.)

(there have probably been half a dozen things posted since I typed this. I afked a minute and fell asleep =p I'll update or respond to new stuff shortly.)
