Extra feat or no?

[Percy_Blankly]

It says you get access to the new feat, but is a free feat or just another feat choice?

The reason i ask is because the new feat for sorcs sucks ass if it is not free. It is basically mental toughness.

If there is one thing sorcs did not need improving, it is more mana. How about a extra feat for more spell pen or AN EXTRA 6th or 7th LVL SPELL SLOT!

It's not free.

Who said you were supposed to be a sorc again after reincarnating from sorc? A better version of mental toughness is a nice perk for any cleric or wizard, who could reincarnate to that class from sorceror to take the feat.

Its clear this system is not designed for people to reincarnate 3 times as the same class.

OOOO...I can see it now. Next time a sorc pulls a +3 WIS tome or hound cleric shield and keeps it and people freak only to hear "but I'm going to be a FvS on my next reincarnation"

Then clearly there is a flaw in this system.

If you want spell pen. play a wizard.

But what I COULD do is take my CLERIC, Past Life him as a Sorc Blast OUT to lvl 20, then TR him BACK to Cleric All for 200 spell points and 4 ability points =) Ummm, I don't think so, Tim.

You do not need to play a Wiz to max spell pen.

I was talking about an extra spell pen feat. It would be nice to have spell pen 32.

I don't see where the flaw is. You do not have to take the extra feat. You can reincarnate twice (plus your former life) and play whatever class you want 3 times. You would just get the extra points in the build.

Most of the past life feats are not better than regular feats. I suggest no one burn their feat selection on past life.

A) The new feats suck.

B)Takes longer to get to 20

C)Only bonus is +2 to build.

D)You lose all tomes, favor, and xp.

Does not seem worth it.

A) So, 20 minute ram's might on a pure fighter, pure barbarian or pure paladin, sucks?

B) Yep, not too bad.

C) Nope

D) Yep, quite harsh, the tome thing is rediculous. As now everyone will hoard on the tomes and use em at last TR.

Totally worth it. Anything for +2 builds points.

This has been pointed out over and over again. Almost everyone agrees its not worth it for the simple reason that the amount of "enjoyment" (aka grind) vs reward is too disproportionate.

So topics like this wants to improve the feat to increase the reward factor. But imho won't even make this option anymore attractive. The devs wants this to be "doing it for fun" factor. Something to keep you occupied with the game.

Which ofcourse can be done in so many other ways other than grind (but grind is the simple solution). Its not like this game can turn into COD4 or game where people actually play for fun and not worry about the reward cause there isn't any.

Its 3 min per use no matter what the level, it was tested on one of the other threads and you only get 1 per rest.

Now you can make that 20mins if you want... but my question to you is. Where on earth do you have that extra feat in your build that you can afford this?

Most high end builds are literially STARVING for feat spots. Many of them resort to playing human just for an extra feat. So many builds splash fighter and get rangers just for their feat bonuses.

Unless you feel like prancing around feeling special. You ain't giving up feat slots.

My sorc is maxed for spell pen and dps (both feats, every appropriate enhancement). Who needs to be a wizard and suck?

The whole feat thing does nothing to retain the flavour of the previous race or class, for what I believe is a much better solution rather than a single feat to capture what the character was is in my post

The feats are mainly just perks, and I'm not sure they should have been included in the first place. TR is a way for old toons that were built based on old game mechanics to reroll without having to grind out gear again (as much gear anyways).
I am sure some folks will build around TRing toons, but I think the majority of people who are going to TR would do it regardless of access to gimick feats or even +2 build points (myself included).

That's an understatement: The whole idea is ill-conceived.

[SimVerg]

The only redeeming feature of the past life feat system is that most of them are not worth a feat(also, the tech is there if they ever decide to implement it in a rational way). The downside is, the ranger past life feat exists and needs to be killed with fire.

It's rather hilarious if you think about it: The defining trait of a "Warrior of the Wild" is your hands get big.

(I would have expected like Manyshot at 3x per day)
