Who thinks there are too many channelers? Also who thinks lower ranked channelers have to many spells to choose from?

This is a pk mud. almost completely pk there is no rping here. i don't think anyone that has been playing this mud for any amount of time gets on to rp with people.

That being said why should aes sedai get bonuses? non aes sedai shouldn't get less weaves then are out there. they aren't overly powerful weaves like thrash or whatever that one that gave you attack or like locate life or anything like that. what are you going to hold back exactly? a main source of damage like fireball? or maybe a speed dmg used in pk like air scythe. or locate object, teleport, blind, sleep, etc? what exactly would be qualified as too powerful for non aes sedai? and why do you make this post when you become aes sedai and not before if this is what you truly want to balance stuff out.

There is no logical reason except rp that non aes sedai should not get weaves.

I do agree there are too many channelers out there though. i don't think they are new channelers as much as old channelers that are still active. probably the most played class and most kept class of them all. other people will switch around and play all sorts of stuff but if you have that uber channeler you're going to be active on him/her and you aren't going to go inactive on him/her either.

I'm fairly inactive on several of my "overpowered" channelers

I would agree that there are alot of channelers, but that is mainly because they are easily the most powerfull class in the game by quite a way and the weakenesses are minimal.

If they were to die in 1 stab 8/10 times then at least there would be some balance to it. However, at the moment they require minmum of 2 and max of 3 stabs (even with an opal) to kill.

They offensively powerfull, have many more offensive options, especially when pared with charge - to pick a random example - and the drawbacks are minor.

I don't think they should be downed anymore though - except maybe stop sleep from being started whilst engaged - just the other classes need something extra.

Channelers are fine, why don't you people adopt new tactics to counter them instead of complain?

Heres a good tactic for beating a channie, find some mobs, bash the channie and prepare to loot.

i have a problem with the current bash status and channelers...

i mean is this new bash system a bug?

i bash full sets with my staff and 83% bash

i died from being bashed/fireballed so now thats what i do when i fight other channelers because it beats the hell out of air scythe, guaranteed to land and get a fireball off, but despite it being powerful, i think diminishes pk.

oh btw, i think limiting weaves to clans/ranks is a step in the wrong direction, why give a few channelers more power than most channelers in the name of balancing -- because too many people play that class? seems like backwards logic to me, they will inevitably rank up if they so desire and balance is out the window. only reason i could see fit for this is rp, but still, why limit the person if they do not like the idea of aes sedai? and nothing against you, but i do find it amusing that this post originated after certain people ranked aes sedai.


p.s.
wow i was just told channelers pracs are now 4 per warrior
... but thief is now 2 so i guess it balances sorta

Like I stated in my post in the announcements, you should be wary of bash. It is now a bit more sane, however.

oh i didnt even see that post

primal--ive never had a stab miss on me yet and each one has killed me from healthy to dead every time ever since the health was changed, i was even killed with a dark-handled from healthy to dead

axxey/jerez--i made this post mostly to get peoples views, yes i did make this post after i got aes sedai but who says they cant make the weaves a higher rank then i am?
oo also the weaves that would be taken away i dont think would affect mcs bc they dont have a clan, that i know of/yet and they are hunted by certain people.

Stabbed Sophia about 5 days ago outside of HL from Heatlhy to batt with an obsidian.

oo yeah, on ds characters they always stab me from healthy to dead, and tiimian it was either low hurt to batt or high wounded to batt, bc i just finished hl, does stabbing same side not do as much damage?
lol first time i get stabbed non-healthy i dont die..weird
