Give melee like 50 innate channelling

[Truth]

On live there was egg shaped pumice making this unnecessary

[Nirgon]

Oh no ya don't

[Truth]

Due to a lack of actual channelling, a single hit for a single point of damage causes an automatic interruption. Foiled by a light blue mage pet, when in classic through velious you could instantly free yourself.

This compromise goes beyond what is fair and just.

[Nirgon]

I don't think so man. Melees didn't have channeling. Maybe in Velious... but still no.

[Truth]

Melees never received channeling, but we already broke the game for an entire class archetype by straying from classic. So pick eggs or 50 channel get the poll up.

[Doors]

hoot hoot o.o

[Amuk]

I like the idea, but there's a lot of things I "like". I would vote no keep it classic. I get the insta pumice argument but meh that was broken as fuck.

[Nirgon]

In big team fights, I'm not sure its all TOO common for a melee to get focused. 1v1 with a mage pet on you is another story. I think it gives some incentive to beat on melees.

The problem is, you don't have to "beat" on the melee (Warrior/Rogue). You just have to send a weak ass pet at him and laugh as he can't do anything to help his group.

I consider melee'ing consistently for any damage as beating on.

Used in a sentence: "I'm trying to med but this shadow wolf is beating on me"

he can't do anything to help his group.


Maybe if he's in that situation, the group should be doing something to help HIM. Keeping a pet tied up isn't a terrible contribution as a melee.

Inb4 SK pets which he could just beat down pretty fast (but should still get dispelled by a group mate).

Get some MR

[Softcore PK]

Not a bad idea really.

[Nirgon]

If melee gets 50 channeling, I want to be able to get over 100 bind wound :P

[Dfn]

Not a bad idea really.

It's a terrible idea.

[Truth]

Fixes a balance issue that didn't exist on live, and at that still handicapped compared to what it was. I'm cool with magewhirlbox v4.20 tho

[Smedy]

so naez rerolled from bard to pure melee i see

for me all changes that "remove" something is fine, but custom "adding" stuff is to un-classic for my taste, have to draw the line somewhere.

[Truth]

I don't play waiting for twink+PL. I need everything given to me because I am too lazy to work for it myself.

[mourning]

Get Magic Resist = Profit

Melee's will never have channeling bro, roll a mage.

[Truth]

jaja everyone who is like "get mr gear" can get fucked

http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=58256

this was a problem in beta. chance to resist root/snare should be equal to MR

aka 80mr, 80% chacne, 200mr 200%, anyone who argues differently doesnt know classic/anyfucking era eq.

[Zigfreed]

Hell if I know but wasn't there some point where melee types did get 1 pt or so of channeling? I've got about 4.3 neurons firing off in some memory bank saying this was so but...

[Truth]

... channeling AA's shortly after egg was taken out of game

[Arillious]

Melee's never had channeling. Quit asking for more custom shit that will f the server up. By going pure melee you are basically choosing to get 100% owned by any caster until you get resist in 1v1 situations. After you get resist, you'll only get 95% owned in 1v1 situations. Pure melee's need to fight in groups or indoors to be viable in classic pvp.

[Billbike]

Good ideas are stupid. Let's keep it classic.http://pattipowell.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/the-world-is-flat2.png


Imagine the ogre warrior able to dispell the darkness even with the pet beating on him. We can't have that now can we?
