I know it is way to late to be included in TBL, but might help some tuning or the next xpac after. Post wants, here are some I have seen: Lifetap reduction on cast time aa/focus is nice. Lifetap reduction on reuse time aa/focus is really nice. AA/focus to reduce the cast time on non-dam AE aggro Wouldn't mind Aggro pet upgrade to current ac/hp/aggro level. Reaver's Bargain absorb Melee upgrade to next expansion level numbers AE spell agro is far behind anything else, would be nice to be brought up significantly. (right now it is only 9k, where our others are 15-26k so its not worth a spell slot) More hastened ranks of unyeilding line as we lost an ability for hasted versions. DoT revamp anyone?????? maybe....please....ok ill go away.
I heard they’re giving SK’s a full set of TBL raid gear and all the new augs in your /claim window at launch
This is a troll thread? SKs already out heal a cleric on self heals. Already can load multiple spells in each line, whether it's terrors, taps, AE non dmg, etc, they don't share a timer. Reaver's bargain already has no comparison among the other tanks, it's an ability that is able to stack with a disc, although not necessary. The 3 AE aggro abilities are on 45s refresh? So without loading a single AE spell you can hit AE aggro every 15s. TBH and to be constructive, I think if SKs get a reduction in cast time, then the spell lines need to share a lockout timer. To add to what Atacil said: I heard SKs were getting AE harm touch with TBL...and they're getting the SPLASH component from the broken paladin splash.
That ability better be like Act of Valor where the SK kills himself to do a bunch of damage to all nearby mobs.
No not a troll thread. We are allowed to ask for improvements just as any other class, and from polling the other sk that I know play this is where we thought we could use the most improvement. The beautiful thing is, I love you guys and your jealousy. It makes us stronger!
Ooh and I can add to the foolishness too: Lets have a pull entire zone AA added so that we can see more Drogba videos on youtube!
If anyone has a moment during this extended downtime, maybe comment on what's actually coming? Besides Dissident Fang (Dicho upgrade, all classes getting them) and Concordant Disruption (Harmonious upgrade, warrior ones also being bumped up pretty uselessly), SKs have an update of Impudent disc in the pipes. Is that -- good? That line sure looks fancier than the Carapaces it shares timer with, but I can't remember it being recommended for use.
I am pretty happy with where SHDs are right now. I don't feel like any of these are necessary. I guess I don't like Reaver's Bargain. It doesn't do much for me, maybe since I play group stuff. But I just don't feel like any of these changes are big enough that they would make the class more fun or necessary enough that we've been suffering all this time. I would love a specter pet though. I think we're due for that. Necros got theirs in, what, Ruins of Kunark?
SKs should get a hate step to a location by clicking on the map. Oh and rezzes they need those so they can everything. I mean parent class can and all.
This would explain why Paladin are not allowed their 96% rez in combat. Its been reserved for SK in the release of TBL.
Machin Shin, where trolling the shadowknight class on Forum Quest is just as important as actually playing EverQuest. How dare the OP say anything other than “my class is op, nerf me, devs!”. The outrage!
I honestly couldn't tell if the OP has no clue how to play an SK or if he's trolling the community...
No no, I think you've misread or I was unclear. Probably the latter (sorry). What I meant was: I just don't feel like any of these changes are ... necessary enough that we've been suffering all this time [without these changes].
He is an excellent SK. He has as much right to ask for input on his class from the community as anyone else.
I don’t think anyone here is saying you can’t ask for stuff. I think it’s just the items listed for improvement are things an SK can do that already imbalance the class and now the OP is asking for more imbalance. Incoming 6 pages of hate for calling SKs unbalanced and op.
So MS leadership - SKs are so OP it is an OUTRAGE - Pally's just suck so bad - http://www.machin-shin.net/index.php/Roster/?s=638f4b13dfbec10dccc52e3464bd6eae299de856 Shadow Knight 2 Paladin 5 Warrior 7 wait ... but ....
