Doesn’t that make reveal/truesight rather worthless then in regards to the hidden. What’s that leave rogue stealth?

The diseased insects sounds interesting. In Sword of Fargoal 2 that I play the giant mosquitos can infect you with sleeping sickness so disease sound nice.

I still think ripping off a few other games to fill up spells would be fine. There’s also the idea of slight elementalism and breaking damage spells into 5 parts.

1. Raw magical impact
2. Cold
3. Electrical
4. Fire
5. Less damage but multi targeting.

Fire ball, ice ball, lightning ball? Eh.. maybe not. Could just add the spells themselves. Really don’t need classes fractures even more with mage being one of 10 varieties (4 being elemental [air, fire, water, earth], necromancer, summoner, invoker/possessor, etc etc).
ZUPS!!!!

Blood Magic (Stance) - Removes mana and allows casting with HP as resource instead. Changes HP formula to "str+int/2+1.5lvl+10)

I think this is a fun idea. it could really only work if HP gains get a boost.

I'd like to see partying actually matter again. Not just a way to cheese epic TOLS exp. Its really sad that no one really hunts the other content because it's not worthwhile from an exp per hour standpoint. Maybe exp gains should be increased a bit for the other mobs to make hunting more on par with epic TOLS bosses.

Diamond coins should be rewarded through other means as well. Trading in crystal coins, which can be earned through daily quests and apparently hunting. That would kind of give everyone a chance to work towards them. Not sure how long it would take to grind 100 crystal coins, but essentially have it work out to 1dc through regular play a month or so. I think that will make it fair for everyone. So we can participate in PvP and still earn coins through regular play.

Shouldn't the 2H hit for more? Or can you make it 1H?

Pls halp :(
This sickle has the highest dps of the necro weps. If I was to make it 1h then it would have to have its dps reduced.

Something isn't right with the live version. The damage is exactly the same as the Athame. I was hitting for 130s with the sickle. I equipped my Athame and I was getting the same damage.

Yeah it’s been bugged since necromancers we’re put in. The only viable necro weapon is Athame, the other three are useless. Been brought up multiple times

Happy hour tiers

Increase the rate of xp buff for an increase in price.

1.5x leave the same: 3 dollars

All examples from this point forward:

2x 4 dollars
2.5x 5 dollars
3x 6 dollars
3.5x 7 dollars
4x 8 dollars
4.5x 9 dollars
5x ten dollars

maybe as an added bonus, after the 3x-4.5x have it last 2 hours. and 5x lasting 3 hours.

Or maybe just buffing double xp weekend to triple xp weekend :-D LAUGHING OUT LOUD LIKE A MORON

this is really strong language ... care to detail a bit why? something to do with 2h v 1h? is it because of the popular opinion that slower weapons do more dps (which I believe which was born out of the machete->backstab being the best backstabber). maybe to do with tints?

anyway, how I work out dps is this (and this I think is same as when you Look at a weapon on ground): a mob is spawned, 100 real combat hits are done without killing the mob, and the dps is calculated

2 handed weapon with dps very close to 1 handed, no berzerker stance, no offhand. One handed is the better choice, and the dps of an athame is best one handed necro weapon.

Only thing on necro I was disappointed initially was I couldn’t turn the Grim Reaper artifact from scythe to sickle. Maybe remedied I don’t know. I don’t recall if other artifacts had that problem. I purposely made an alt to use a sickle because I had some pretty nifty ones. Today I hear the randoms willblow your mind and I like looking at the list as they are found.
* longsword->athame (slashing) 1-8 dmg
* rondel->stiletto (piercing) 1-7 dmg
* kryss->krys (piercing) 1-6 dmg
* scythe->sickle (slashing) 3-12 dmg

All non artifacts will convert, and convert back. There are no artifact hexblades at this time :cry:
All hexblades use the 10/90 STR/DEX ratio for bonus damage... so point points in Dex for bonus weapon damage, INT for magic and STR for hp as needed

These weapons have the same stats as their unritualised parent, but are slightly faster.
Some might ask if anyone can dual wield stilettos.
Can a krys parry, riposte at 70 & 80 skill
Athame and sickle should just be faster versions of longsword/scythe.

I venture a no since it’s necromancer and not rogue though it’d be cool to be a goth punk necro with two blades. (Albeit not switchblades)
