Next buff for casters

flipynifty · 07-03-2009, 09:35 PM

Next buff is going to be for casters i assume so i would like to suggest a couple things and ask for input from others:

1) Double draw slots allowing a caster to either select one of two gems or both gems in combat

2) A skill allowing them to have DoT or DD gems immediately in play in all gem slots (up to 6) or auras

3) More gem slots in combat to use. This would be helpful for PVE, probably not PVP.

etc

Yay!!??

Even though i dont necessarily like it... the last patch was for casters with the DoT change. Therefore the next patch will probably not be for casters.

DoT doesn't include DD though

why not have something like if your class is a casting one (1 that has magic as its primary stat for example) you can get a % off of gems.

but to be honest anything that benifits casters in the fact that they will take/deal more damage would be better. dont really mind what it is (aslong as there isnt a bad side for casters aswell)

the buff i would like to see most for casters is extra gem slots as casters can start with up to 4 gems in play in combat then unless they have standard or premium they have to replace the gems starting in play with others

basically 6 slots is a bit low as 3 aura's can start in play due to gem handling and first gem in pouch also starts in play regardless of which type of gem it is

so i think the number of gems that you can have in play should be raised to 10 where 6 is for nonpaid 8 for standard and 10 for premium since that would help out casters a lot

since gems are there main damage source

you can get everything for cheap on AH, or get them as a drop

but not gems! why Jeff why?? i want gem drops!

its nearly impossible to buy a cheap gem since they dont drop from creatures and there arent much crafters since gemcrafting doesnt provide any profit

doctor-warlord · 07-04-2009, 08:55 AM

yeah gems is the most expensive item type since it needs to be upgraded to a higher rank around every 5-10lvls and you need a lot more as caster those there arent casters would probably upgrade less and use fewer gems

Blazinbones is the only gem crafter in the game. as such he is making alot of profit from it, selling res and daze gems

very true and it sucks that he didnt do a patch/upgrade for DD... but it is an upgrade and he cant improve every aspect of every class... then it would be just as unbalanced as it is now...

There already is several like that... usable by anyone who uses a staff (2 handed weapon)

Watch Jeff buff casters and nerf warriors/weapon masters.

i think this would help a lot and be kind of cool....in PvE only... when you end and begin combat in the same square (dont move around the map), you begin combat with whatever gems you had in play when you pressed exit on the last combat screen....

This not only would really help buff casters who rely on getting their gems out to effectively deal damage but also makes sense.... for its the same thing as if you encounter creature after creature in the wild and are already ready for the fight to begin.

actually I have a higher gem crafting skill then blazingbones...but there is not really a market for mid -level gems. There is little to no profit from lower level gems. sometimes it takes a couple weeks or longer to sell the daze and mez gems I craft. non-rare gems are not worth it to craft. mid level is ok. You can sell 30 res gems and probably make about 1k-2k gold total.
