Replace Wall of Fire...

[edventure]

with Wall of Energy.

Energy types would be the standard DDO types; Fire, Acid, Cold, etc... Damage and duration would stay the same just apply a different energy type.

Sounds like a real cool idea.

You forgot to indicate the benefit of this change. In no way do I mean to imply there isn't one, but you should state the reason for your suggestion.

However, I can speak to the drawback: Many arcanes are already one-trick ponies: Wall of Fire owns almost everything, thanks to drunk AI. The only thing it doesn't own are fire-based guys, but Wall of Cold would own them.

Thus, this change would make it all the MORE true that arcanes only need one spell. I believe the resulting lack of diversity would make the game more boring and thus less fun.

On the other hand, if Wall of Fire were rendered less powerful by less-drunk AI, this change might increase diversity of play, by allowing situationally powerful walls of various types.

So worth considering, but there is a potential downside.

Been suggested before, and proven that it would be phenomenally overpowered - so not gonna happen.

Around the beginning of this year, the devs posted a thread which filled out the PrC classes currently planned, including the ones that wouldn't be instituted in Mod 9

At the time, there was some speculation that the energy savant line that sorcs would be getting could mean energy substitution. That might be similar to what you are looking for, although it would be only one element.

People would hardly use other spells, although Im interested in seeing how Savants utilize this spell.

I think it would be cool as maybe fire would no longer be so dominant.

Also, I use a lot of other spells. Of course, my sorc is not the fotm fire guy, but rather an highly focused enchanter.
