AA Design: 105th Level

    Would love to see a 105th level AA design that leverages Tranquil Blessing and ALL of the spell levels a caster has access to where the spell has been upgraded over the years. (Exception Perhaps: Spell Haste Buffs that don't get overwritten by better versions, but perhaps fixable with blocking of lower level versions on a character preference basis.)

    Song that is cast must land on all level characters.
    Proc effect must initiate all levels of the spell line starting with level 100 RK appropriate of scribed spell. If the 100 level spell is not scribed RK 1 defaults for all proc effects.
    Proc effect: Spell is cast causes end of song. (ie: Song lands on 100th level char: Procs 100th level spell, song fades / Song lands on 50th level char, procs all spells until highest level spell lands, song fades)

    For instance: Druid: AA: 105th Level: 50 AA Points: 30 second recast.
    • Castable only in a restive state
    • Castable only in a non-combat zone
    • Consumes 25% of total mana
    • Issues: Song Bar: Ward of Leathered Armor (30 second song, timer counts in a non-combat zone as if an Aura or alternatively procs the appropriate buff on FADE)
      • Proc: 100th Level Group_v2 Druid Skin RK appropriate if scribed
      • Proc: Next lower level Group_v2 Druid Skin of highest level RK scribed in this series
      • etc... down to the lowest level Group_v2 Druid Skin.
    Enc: AA: 105th Level: 50 AA Points: 30 second recast
    • Castable only in a restive state
    • Castable only in a non-combat zone
    • Consumes 25% of total mana
    • Issues: Song Bar: Ward of Enlightened Thought (30 second song, counts as if an Aura or alternatively procs the appropriate buff on FADE)
      • Proc: 100th Level Group_v2 Enchanter Mind Buff RK appropriate if scribed
      • Proc: Next lower level Group_v2 Enchanter Mind Buff highest level RK scribed in this series
      • etc... down to the lowest level Group_v2 Enchanter Mind...
    Some quick thoughts on appropriate class oriented Environmental MGBs
    • SHM: Unity
    • SHM: Haste
    • SHM: Regen
    • SHM: Resists
    • CLR: Credence
    • CLR: Ward
    • CLR: Resists
    • DRU: Eagle/SoW
    • DRU: Skin
    • DRU: Regen
    • DRU: Dmg Shield
    • DRU: Resists
    • MAGE: Dmg Shield
    • ENC: Clarity Line
    • ENC: Hastening Line
    • ENC: Resists
    • RNG: Predator, etc
    • BST: Spiritual Enc
    • PAL: Brell's
    • NEC: DMF (well, maybe not, uncertain if there is a lower level alt that could proc)
    I'm certain there are others I'm missing. I think people would be encouraged to invest in these expensive AA's and the community would benefit from rec'vg level appropriate buffs without the need for the caster to spend 20 minutes memorizing lower level spells to the spell bar and waiting for tranquil blessings to refresh.

    To accomplish this, it sounds like 1 ability will proc all lower versions of the buff. Excellent idea! How awesome would it be to hit 1 button and appropriately buff everyone of level?

    Highly unlikely. 1 spell that procs multiple spells (especially an entire line) is not favorable by the developers due to server strain (they don't like swarm pets or spells that proc multiple spells). Unless there were a way to do most of the calculations client-side.

    Or, I misunderstood the dev's intentions, maybe they only meant combat abilities.

    This idea, while interesting in theory, also has other issues that would cause extra work for the Developers. We already had the Devs have to fix Shaman/Clerics (who gained obscene amounts of mana) when they have the Shawl proc and Tranquil/Mass Group Buff. This would add other classes and more time devoted to adding that fix as well.

    Level 74+ : Circle of Flameweaving - 407/427/448ds (Level 104 spell)
    Level 69-73 : Circle of Flameskin - 329/345/362ds (Level 99 spell)
    Level 64-68 : Circle of Embers - 238/250/263ds (Level 94 spell)
    Level 61-63 :Circle of Dreamfire - 162/185/198ds (Level 89 spell)
    Level 50-60 : Circle of Fireskin - 62ds (Level 70 spell, best guess on level range it hits)
    Level 45-49 : Maelstrom of Ro - 48ds (Level 63 spell, best guess on level range it hits)
    Level 1-44 : Barrier of Combustion - 29ds if caster is at least L45 (Level 38 spell, hits those levels for sure)

    Aegis of Ro: 35ds, Level 60 spell
    Circle of Magmaskin: 74/78/81ds, Level 74 spell
    Circle of Lavaskin: 86/98/105ds Level 79 spell
    Circle of Brimstoneskin: 108/123/132 Level 84 spell

    For starters if they cared about low level characters being buffed this post would be both accurate and common knowledge. Using shroud levels to make it easy to test, how many people even know the highest ds (or level of whatever buff) that can be cast on a Level 45, 50, 55 and 60?
