What small changes would you make to the unpopular classes?

God i hate this post.
Ogres USED to have casters of great power until all the gods banded together to curse Rallos Zek's creations. So this would directly be ruining the EQ lore.

Except Giants were created by RZ?

id like to see equal representation of female and male characters as well as new graphics to either put males in speedo's when naked or put more clothing on women.

shadow knights should get one useful raid buff like divine strength for paladins or call of the predator for rangers.

bards should get slight melee damage boost.

wizards' port line of spells should have a buff effect with run mod similar to sow. (no sow, you have to port to get temp speed bonus)

magician should have better access to focus items 50+

paladin lay hands should give you a 12 hour divine intervention style buff. You should be able to stack these buffs ...so you can have like 12 hours / 72 minutes of these buffs

Ranger should get real range damage like after AA's were implemented on live

[fadetree]

Halfing rangers are an abomination.

Frogloks would be awesome. That was the only thing I thought was cool about the expansions shortly after Velious.

[Muggens]

Nah frogloks wouldnt be cool because everyone would have a froglok alt then. Everyone.

Erudites certainly dont look frail to me. I am sure theres a secret soceity of kung fu scholars hidden somewhere in Erudin. They cant all be dabblin with magic arts.

Jimjam hatepaladin was nice.

Suprised people dont wanna play as kerrans, tons of u guys have cat avatars.

Wizards

• Take clarity from chanters, give it to wizards
• Make Wizard mana/damage ratio significantly greater than other classes (it's literally like 5% more than druids at 60)
• Castable buff that gives melee a dd proc

Rangers

• Significant Attack buff line through low levels
• Self-only archery buff/significant skill cap increase
• Take track away from druids and bards (clerics dont have LoH, necros don't have HT, cmon.)
• Group exp(or dmg) bonus in outdoor zones (Track + chain pulling EJ/BW/DL/WL/EW/less populated outdoor zones)
• Tree form

Paladin

• Group gets crits against undead

Warrior

• I like their simplicity but they're just inferior to ridiculous classes. Reduce monk mitigation/damage, reduce rogue damage to a reasonable amount higher than warriors.

Remove 25 mob cap on PBAE songs.

Someone is bitter that they can't ruin the fun for every other player in the zone ...

Give bards their long duration charm back. We had it in classic, but was removed because "not classic". Would add a whole new layer to the class.

I'm indifferent about the AE kiting personally. Think it was an unnecessary change, but I also think circle kiting is about as entertaining as watching grass grow.

Making harmony usable in indoor zones would be stupidly OP, but it would ungimp druid and rangers.

Some of the AAs did a lot to define classes too. Fading memories, shroud of stealth, and mana burn weren't too OP, but added a lot to those classes.

But really, the long duration charm for bards is #1. Plus, I think it is only fair since they took away kiting. A little give and take devs.. come on!

I was regrettably not a Bard back in the day but if this is true please make a thread in the Bug forums with quality evidence!



For unclassic changes I would have given Bards either Feign Death (which makes sense from an drama/acting angle) or Mem Blur. As far as AoE and swarm kiting goes I was glad to see it nerfed. I would be okay with it being brought back if there was some way to create artificial FPS drops and latency to authentically emulate how video cards and internet circa 1999 would've handled massive swarms of mobs.

All that being said, I wouldn't touch any class until poor Wizards were fixed.
