If anything is done on curse of darkness, it should be made into a passive buff instead of a temp and double it’s dmg. It’s a beyond poor mans version of frigid gift. as for concussive blast, I meant baseline de aggro abilities. Wizards have a hate xfer as do locks, lock xfer is just half of wiz. and being pigeonholed into take concussive is a major sacrifice in dmg. If stacks mattered u could argue it’s merit, but in current form warlock prestige is a joke. So it’s not as impactful
I do not want to see any more clicky/buff on items that gives more direct/indirect DPS power to the players. I want to see items that allow to balance class or gives you situational effect. I'd be nice to have only 2-3 adornment slots reserved for those proc/effects and players would have have to choose which one they need/want depending on their class or play style. Some only usuable out of fight. Some of those items already exists: - an effect that give +6 hate position / or -6 hate position - an effect to raise your raid/group (like the charm) - an item that faint death you/reset all aggro - an items that raise you when dead when activated (you would need to cast it before the fight, and it would raise when you cancel it) - an item that allows you to teleport to your target out of fight - an item that allows you to evac you group - an item that heals/or mana regen you or your target immediatly (may be like the Conver Power of enchanters) - an item that reduce all or a % of incoming all damage for a very short duration - an item that give a temporary area of effect protection to your group - an item that gives you or your group some in combat move speed for a limited time, or to cast while moving - an item to remove all effect hostile effect on a target and immunes for a short period of time - an item that remove all stun/stiflle/root/mezz effects on you ... Many if not all of the effect I listed already exists or are abilites that are available on some class and could be great to have on other class. It could also solve some issue where players complains that you could not do zone A without class B because you need that ability. With a limited risk of making some class even more overpowered. May be some effect could be limited to class or archetype that do not already have a similar ability. If there are enough effect and very limited slots available it could create good synergies in group/raid and offer some way to create new scripts and contribute to all play still solo/group/raid. In order not to make some scripts too easy they would need to be balance if they are found too powerful (reuse time, duration, not cast speed please).
not sure if this fits this thread but since its item effects So i don't know if this is even doable but I think a reasonable balance for class adorns that many want along with some of the old/new ascension adorns would be to make them temporary adorns. This would allow more use of these adorns as many atm don't even waste a slot for them as they aren't as good as other adorns or they are too weak. A vendor or as a rare drop could give these temp adorns and they would be priced accordingly to time/power scale. Example Fighter Class Rune 2mil plat (1hr) / 7mil (4hr) / 12.5mil (8hr) Trained for Battle 25k (1hr) 20k (4hr) 15k(8hr) Just as a rough example of how it could be priced or work. I think this would reduce major issue of balance being around class adorns being overpowered when they have a time limit and limited use without a huge plat sinks associated with it. This would stop people from being reckless with always using them nonstop but also give a wanted buff to have. This idea can also work for various gear or item procs maybe as a temp adorn maybe even as some other ethereal purple adorn effects or old orange adorn effects. Would definitely make a great plat sink as the infusion is going away with xpac18 and would make a good replacement
So you have to buy Krono in the marketplace and sell them to unlock your class buff? This is truly the most depressing and horrible idea I've read here.. I think. 7 MILLION plat for 4 hours of OP? Ugh, god there's so much wrong with this I barely know where to start. It wouldn't make a great plat sink, it'd make the pay to win element that's ruining EQ2 literally hundreds of times worse and put this game 6 feet in the ground within a couple of months. Seriously, you need to go sit somewhere quiet and have a good think about what you wrote.
Absolutely not. This is a horrible idea. Earned mission reward currency? Sure. Millions of plat? Jesus, have some sense. The only reason Kronos are 14.5 million plat on most servers right now is solely due to exploits. If duping and exploiting plat wasn't in the game, they would be a couple thousand.

The one thing I always remember from the early days of EQ2, and which screams nostalgia are the Prismatic Weapon effects from the original epic quest line and the Mark of the Awakened from the Kingdom of Sky expansion. The MoA effect was a floaty rune symbol that appeared in front of your character's chest and was an effect from a necklace. It was a huge status symbol item for having completed the quest line at a time when there were no guild halls and Qeynos and Freeport Harbours were always packed with players. Link to it in Eq2i: https://eq2.fandom.com/wiki/Mark_of_the_Awakened_Intellect
This, from every class. There are many AA that have simply outlived their usefulness. They've "aged out" if you will, and quite frankly, some of them just don't do anything that's worth the points spent in them to get to the things at the bottom, and some of those are probably questionable at best.
Also, while I absolutely love the idea of returns of many of these things...I hate the idea that I have to find them individually EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. The Account Keyring system PoP had was an absolutely beautiful idea. I would love to see that return. So that if I found an adornment of whatever, I could pop my alts up to buy it after I had looted it once. It was such a huge help towards increasing variety and playability of more than just my main class. I was much more interested in playing that year than the years after, when item drops have become increasingly rare and much more difficult to get once, much less many times. I've only seen one or two adornments drop this year (RNG...I have so many dirty words for RNG). so this would be of interest to someone like me.
I just miss the shrink effect from the bovich that was nerfed. I specifically setup and played a character as a goofy prankster , a kerra wearing funny armor and fish weapons, rides the lil bug mount. Was so fun zipping around. My other shrink items dont get me to the same level of shrinkage. Please figure out a way to return it, then I can dust her off and play happily again like a dork
adding in the personae reflection spell for Illusionists , when we got the pet wands I used the pink dragon on her and now i have a huge assortment of pet illusions that wont work on her anymore. I dont know why, back in 2018 when I noticed it stopped working, I tested my wands and got the fae bug to work but nothing I would use regularly . I can get confused which is my pet and which is me so having an illusion to differentiate her is super helpful plus I like the look of so any pet illusions but cant use them anymore. Unsure if this was a bug or intended, but would be great to have this looked at. Thanks
In EQ1, it was the Naturewalker's Scimitar. I recall stumbling into Kaladim one evening, on my lowly Dwarf...and a visiting Elven Druid was there in a courtyard, with a golden hilted blade that had cascading leaves falling from it. It inspired me so much, that I started a Level 1 Druid myself, and did not deviate until I acquired one of my own. It meant joining a guild and branching out (no pun intended) as to earn and obtain such, took slaying a dragon with a raid force! The paladin's flame 2H was my other favorite, but I did not go for that one edit: I'd enjoy more particle effects or difficult to obtain, iconic class specific blades.
I'd love to see a Nostalgia series of Petamorph Wands / Fluff Pets revolving around EQ1, and some Effects around EQ2 Deities Both in Petamorph and Fluff versions would be awesome: a snake (literally the newbie snake, like both EQ2 and EQ1 have in newbie zones) a rat (same deal) a skeleton a spider Petamorph Wand: Pendril's Animation ... unlike EQ1's tho, I imagine the shield and sword would re-holster as they do in EQ2 so the running animation of it wouldn't be like EQ1. That's cool though. TRAIN!!!! Baubble that when used, summons the visual effect of about 7 Ghostly gnolls that appear about 20 meters in front of the character's facing direction and run towards the player. They simply disappear once they get to the player and poof. But still ....
Here's the laborious work around to try, works for me every time: Unsummon your Personnae Unsummon your Mount Cancel any current illusion if one is up Summon your Personnae Cast your Petamorph Wand Resummon your Mount Re-illusion yourself (if this is your vibe) Only ickiness is on the Illy. My necro / channeler / conjy / BL have zero issues. Must be the reflection taking on our appearance modifications as a buff of it's own and something conflicts. Dunno ... but that method does work. - Sheyn
