Weekly Question Discussion

[Hulkling]

Top listed issues combined from here and EQlive:

1.) Guard of Righteousness upgrade...8
1.) LoH - combining blowing on corpse and timer...8
3.) Upgrade to "other" discs (sanct, resist, fearless)...5
3.) Horse/Unicorn...5
5.) AE agro...4
5.) Focus/TSS spell progression sucks (combined)...4
5.) Pacify upgrade...4
8.) Aura...3
8.) Lack of undead nuke upgrade (not to be confused with Wraithguard's Vengence)...3
8.) Holy Forge...3

A couple notes:
-Symbol Upgrade got 13 and Silent Piety got 4...both have already been submitted.
-Upgrades to our base spells Pious Fury and SIlvered Fury got 2, but its been reported that more spells will go live (also include upgrade to basic Undead Nuke#8 and Symbol Upgrade). I don't have any hard confirmation on this, so its more of a "wait and see". However I'll keep pressing the issue for solid confirmation.

ok down to business:
I'm gonna submit GoR upgrade tomarrow or tonight. I'm going to suggest to remove the damage cap for new upgrade and be done with it...sound good?

LoH...If you walk up to a corpse and hit LoH, it does absolutely nothing (just tested). Also in my experience since the "fix", if you LoH a person right as they die, the Button greys out for about 10-20 seconds and then it refreshes. I have not "blown" LoH on a corpse since the fix....it has always refreshed within roughly 10-20 seconds (never actually timed it). This is what is intended to happen so that we don't blow it for the full duration.

I'm not sure if this is what people are referring to, or have you actually blown it for the full duration? (36-72 minutes depending on AAs)

Now, asking that it cannot used on NPCs is sorta iffy. I hate blowing it on NPCs just as much as the next Paladin (and I've done often...too often lol) but playing the Devil's Advocate - There are events like Draygun where you supposedly heal him to prevent regen (never seems to work from what I've seen because he always regens...but people swear by it). Its unlikely, but there is a possibility that this type of action will be needed more in the future. Then there is healing charmed pets...which I don't think would be an issue...but ya never know what SOE will screw up.

That said, asking for a Timer on LoH is good stuff.

yer thoughts?

I will have to second Adawen on much what he said. But he left out.

We have a upgrade to fearless and the resist Disc. They are AA's. The only disc I would like to see upgraded is the GoR line and the suggestion for that one is what I hope would happen where it looses the damage cap.

As for the horse I honestsly could care less about it. We now have ways to use up excess AA so that I will never hit AA cap and buy the unicorn. If the unicorn verion led into a pegasus then I would buy that AA but until then the old war pony works for me.

The horse issue is the fact that they gave us an aa that gives us a horse that in many cultures is used to portray female virginity or pureness. Unicorns are not portrayed as being involved in any way with males in most mainstream stories. Sk's got a black horse with lame fire effects, I feel a lot of paladins would prefer something similiar, like blue flames, or better on our horse so it is all around neither masculine or feminine.

And give it up on the pegasus already =x
Go buy some lev potions, at least they work in all zones.

I can agree with 3/4 of what Adawen is talking about. I think sanctification needs to be revamped. It wasnt all that useful when we got it, and hasn't been useful since due to its short length. Holyforge needs revamped, but I don't want it turned into a 30 second dps disc, or shorter, unless it seriously ups dps, because I kind of enjoy the current holyforge, mainly for crip eye candy and the fact that it does increase dps somewhat.

I feel our mana costs are part of our class. It is how they limit our abilities, as can be seen with our new sunlight heal that I fizzle so much and it runs me out of mana in no time. But its powerful, and fun, so everybody praises it.

I agree, ae aggro needs to be dropped, it is not an issue, it is a wishlist item. Same with pacify. We are not getting another pacify unless its for pathetically low lv's that we could handle 8 of the mob type anyway, so whats the point of getting a paladin upgrade to pacify?

Resist and fearless are best just swept under the rug adn forgotten. Between things such as resist increasing aa's and mpg trials, we have many ways to increase our ability to raise saves without having to rely on a disc. Fearless, well, that one speaks for itself.

As for guard of righteousness, I am not quite sure what to think about this. We got a new aa this expansion that works like our epic, save it also ups our ac, stacks with our epic and gor, and is almost like a disc, if it wasnt for the fact you buy it with an aa. I feel this is a decent add on to our disc. Don't get me wrong though, I would love it if the hp cap got removed, be nice to have it available when I do stuff like tank shyra or anguish mini's, and mini's in sverag, but I know I can survive them without the disc, and having epic and this new clicky ability allows me to function for alot longer with fewer healers. So I do feel we did not get an upgrade to gor, but we got a complimentary ability that stacks with it.
