Weekly Developer Activities - 2/18/08

Given the slower development, too much "wait and see" results in too many chunks of 3-4 month delays, and that is unacceptable. After all do we want all this long overdue "pally love" to end up in a similar state as those "way of X" rog stuff noone takes? Do we want totally underwhelming pally PRC enhancement lines that noone will take? Better to let some concerns be voiced now rather than having to wait for mod8-9 to really fix the lumped-everything-into-mod7-pally-love that we've been waiting a year for.

Well, that's really a different issue than what's being tossed around right now. Ranting at the Devs because the one thing they did mention early wasn't that great even after Eladrin said that was just something they did as an aside, not as part of the real efforts which would be revealed later seems rather over the top to me.

There's a huge thread on feedback and suggestions that Eladrin has mentioned as being something they've looked at closely. I'm all for that.

There are two kinds to be found in the the world of forums.

There's the kind that has the strength of intellect, courage, and intellectual integrity to prevail against another man's exact words.

And then there's the kind that is lacking in one or more of these, and cannot prevail against another man's words, so he changes the words and argues against those.

I know which kind I am, and I've proved it in my posts above. And in your posts, you've demonstrated what kind you are.

I misquoted you with your ridiculous absurdism? Anyway, since you've devolved to ad hominem discussion its best to stop now.

I did not simply think having an Assassin rogue sounded 'cool', nor did i create 1 w/o considering what this line of enhancements would do for him. I really want to see just how much more DPS he can generate compared to my Mechanic rogue. The Damage & Attack Boosts coupled with the new improved higher chance to poison on Sneak Attacks should generate some higher numbers then my Mechanic who wasn't built with all the SneakAttack feats. I just completed the Way of Assassin on my Drow and he's only 6th level @tm, but as he levels i'll be checking out how his DPS stacks up against my 15th Mechanic.

Yeah well that's fine so dabbler melee classes like ROGUES/Bards/Clerics should not be able to hit mobs on Elite either. So jack up all the mob AC's to 60+ Turbine so only pure Barbs/Fighters with maxed out buffs can hit them. It's only fair. While you are at it balance all mob saves to 25-30+ with 20+ SR so that only really dedicated casters with maxed out gear can hope to land a spell on them.

So great I will delete my Bard since they only dabble in both casting/melee, and all rogues can be trapsmiths only on elite since they can't hit anything anymore. Maybe if people can figure out a way around traps they will invite you to their groups and then hope you die and carry your stone around until they find another trap then they *might* rez you. Maybe my Bard can come along and cast haste and buff up the "non-dabbler folks" so that they can kill things a little quicker.

Thanks great direction of the game....

Gotta agree with the logic here

Dissappointed to see that the superior 2-HD fighting feat is not in the WDA, which I believe was promised for 6.1 as a justification for the new BAB changes.

Fighters get no new enchancements or feats past level 12, so currently you are better off taking a few levels of another class.

Please throw the pure fighter build a bone, we should be at least AS competent as the multi-classers and at the moment its not really close.

Thanks.
