Arcane pass not in Producer's Letter ?

[lppmor]

I don't see any reference to Wizard/Sorcerer pass in the Producer's Letter. But I know this is something the devs want to do.

Anyone know anything about this?

I'm having to play WoW again just to play a Mage. Please put me back into DDO with an amazing arcane pass :)

There are plenty of things we hope to accomplish this year that aren't in the Producer's Letter; but as some of those things aren't currently hard-locked to a specific update (and could potentially slip out of this year, not that we want them to), they aren't in the Producer's Letter.

I am hoping a Pet pass in somewhere down the line, those poor little guys need some serious love too. Pale master's skeleton too i suppose, but mostly the dogs.

Amazing arcane pass ? LOL


By 2015 I said that the wizard pass would be made in 2020 given the importance they have to the wizard.
I received an infromation for telling the truth.
Everyone had their pass and all were done with zeal and commitment, wizards just received a mediocre pass from EK with incredible, 3% Spell Critical damage. Magister ED is very, very boring.

Probably Wizard is very low in the list because people can still find a niche as insta-killers or cc'ers. Wizard is indeed multitalented and basically just needs a high DC and a few spells to be effective..

However, I believe it's time for more. Nicer trees. Maybe the ability to change some spell effects..
At least I hope a few necessary updates, such as Wizards still having to pay 6 points for +90 sp while everyone else pays 3 points for +100. Things like that would help already.

I find Sorcerers in a far worse shoes to be honest. I play mostly at 30 so my view only applies there. I have seen the forum builds they hardly even use their own prestige trees.

Wraith Wizard AM + MoK > anything Sorcerer most of the time.

Both Wizards and Sorcs are great right now.

OP, what do you find lacking?

OP, what do you find lacking?

Old trees with too many obsolete enhancements. Need a pass.

6 points for 90 sp, where all new trees have a similar effect for only 3 points..
capstone giving only +2 INT..
too many points just to upgrade a pet (Pale Master)..
and so on.

I don't disagree, but you have to look at how things work holistically. The trees do kinda suck, but the classes are still strong.

Every time I talk about Sorcs with players, the ones who think the CLASS is strong fall back on PL:FEATS and GEAR-TOMES accumulated in months/years.

While those have nothing to do inherently with the CLASS.

A fresh sorc with gear likely found in treasure is going to have a pretty sad time next to a Barb or even a Pally, if we just compare what each gets from just leveling up and spending aps, ignoring the hoarded raid gear and dozens*dozens stacking passive feats.

I would love for 'Familiars' to find there way into the game.

They've shown it can be done with companions AND with falcons.

I would love to see Wizards finally get their familiars.
