[Mon Jan 31 16:43:50 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Now, I would like to take up what I was hinting at earlier.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:44:06 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'I am adding focus effects for pets.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:44:15 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Pet Strength, increases pet max hit by 5/10/15/20/25'
[Mon Jan 31 16:44:26 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Pet Health, increases pet hp by 5/10/15/20/25'
[Mon Jan 31 16:44:37 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'These will work like any other focus effects'
[Mon Jan 31 16:44:53 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'And will work for all pets except for cleric hammer/wiz sword and spear'
[Mon Jan 31 16:45:09 2005] Davan says out of character, 'bah.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:45:16 2005] Mortimer says out of character, 'pet augs'
[Mon Jan 31 16:45:18 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Any comments on this?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:45:29 2005] Kasreyn says out of character, 'how is this going to affect beastlords?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:45:36 2005] Asrial says out of character, 'is this to be a questable item or a drop item set?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:45:37 2005] Tasperil says out of character, 'is this a base &PCT; on the already exsisting pet or ?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:45:38 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'You get stronger pets if you get the focus effects for it =P'
[Mon Jan 31 16:45:38 2005] Davan says out of character, 'just curious why not include wiz/cleric pets?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:45:39 2005] Kasreyn says out of character, 'how do I get the focus effects?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:45:46 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'gear.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:45:49 2005] Kasreyn says out of character, 'k'
[Mon Jan 31 16:45:49 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'As mana cons, etc'
[Mon Jan 31 16:45:53 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'It will be added to existing gear'
[Mon Jan 31 16:45:53 2005] Alazif says out of character, 'will current items retro upgrade with these focus?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:46:00 2005] Alazif says out of character, 'nm ~_~'
[Mon Jan 31 16:46:01 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Wiz/clr pets are intended to add a fixed amount of dps'
[Mon Jan 31 16:46:07 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'That's why they can't be buffed, and such'
[Mon Jan 31 16:46:36 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Although, okay, I could consider adding them to wiz/clr pets. 20 extra hp and 5 extra dps isn't that grand.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:46:37 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'So sure.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:46:47 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Why not =P'
[Mon Jan 31 16:46:54 2005] Davan says out of character, 'ty :) spear dies too fast :p'
[Mon Jan 31 16:47:15 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'OK, I'm assuming the general opinion on this is a moderate 'yay' then?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:47:16 2005] Tasperil says out of character, 'on the pet health why not use the focus to ad a &PCT; of the hp rather than a set of 5-50 hp?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:47:21 2005] Wiz says out of character, '.. it is &PCT;'
[Mon Jan 31 16:47:24 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'of course it is &PCT;'
[Mon Jan 31 16:47:27 2005] Kasreyn says out of character, 'big yay from me'
[Mon Jan 31 16:47:27 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Otherwise it would blow.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:47:31 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Both are &PCT;'
[Mon Jan 31 16:47:32 2005] Morrowfiend says out of character, 'Skulker's Cap rotting in Bancak'
[Mon Jan 31 16:47:36 2005] Asrial says out of character, 'outstanding then.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:47:43 2005] Tasperil says out of character, 'yes very nice'
[Mon Jan 31 16:47:46 2005] Kasreyn says out of character, 'just be sure you add the effects to my current gear please.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:47:55 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Now, the next change is a big one, and is for wizards only.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:47:59 2005] Davan says out of character, 'weeee'
[Mon Jan 31 16:48:03 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'It addresses wizard usability in groups.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:48:15 2005] Kemper says out of character, 'uh oh.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:48:22 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'I am adding a new line of spells for wizards at all spell levels 1-49, then 53, 57, 61, 65'
[Mon Jan 31 16:48:31 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'These spells are mana-free but inefficent nukes.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:48:51 2005] Davan says out of character, 'ineffecient as in long casting time?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:48:53 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'This is intended to give wizards a sustained DPS base, since groups are 100&PCT; about sustained DPS'
[Mon Jan 31 16:48:55 2005] Davan says out of character, 'or just poor damage?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:48:56 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'As in low damage.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:48:58 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Low DPS'
[Mon Jan 31 16:49:03 2005] Davan says out of character, 'ok'
[Mon Jan 31 16:49:05 2005] Yaladwen says out of character, 'anyone know what the effect "Furor" on ethereal weapons does please?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:49:10 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'The best one will do around 100 DPS being chain-casted with all nuke upgrades.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:49:10 2005] Klya says out of character, 'like a ranged weapon, persay?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:49:19 2005] Mortimer says out of character, '35dd'
[Mon Jan 31 16:49:36 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'The idea is that a wizard who has mana will obviously pick a 400 dps relic tarhyl over a 100 dps chaos vortex'
[Mon Jan 31 16:49:56 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'But it he runs out of mana, or doesn't want to burn a lot every fight, he can use chaos vortex.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:49:56 2005] Davan says out of character, 'i REALLY like that idea'
[Mon Jan 31 16:50:00 2005] Zaendol says out of character, 'would give similar to clicky nukes then'
[Mon Jan 31 16:50:09 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'I have done some calcs, and wizards will still remain below rogues in sustained dps (as they should)'
[Mon Jan 31 16:50:13 2005] Kemper says out of character, 'that idea rocks.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:50:18 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'And they will not top over mages in sustained dps (which they shouldn't)'
[Mon Jan 31 16:50:24 2005] Davan says out of character, 'the only question i have wiz, is have you considered how it will affect wiz soloing?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:50:28 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Well, Davan'
[Mon Jan 31 16:50:33 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'It will improve wiz soloing, I'm aware'
[Mon Jan 31 16:50:39 2005] Mortimer says out of character, 'what kind of recast on that?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:50:41 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'But it's no more efficent than ranger bowkiting'
[Mon Jan 31 16:50:45 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Because of the low dps'
[Mon Jan 31 16:50:49 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'So it's no big deal'
[Mon Jan 31 16:50:57 2005] Davan says out of character, 'yes but rangers run out of arrows'
[Mon Jan 31 16:50:59 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Single kiting isn't terribly efficent as it is, and this doesn't effect quad kiting.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:51:07 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Not after getting endless quiver they don't.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:51:12 2005] Davan says out of character, 'ok'
[Mon Jan 31 16:51:15 2005] Zaendol says out of character, 'wizzes solo quad anyway, so single target nuke is no big'
[Mon Jan 31 16:51:19 2005] Kenilae says out of character, 'thats actually a really cool idea, sounds like you put alot of thought into it too, how long have you been working on it?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:51:29 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'I got the idea about a week ago, I worked it all in today.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:51:30 2005] Davan says out of character, 'did you say they could or could not be affected by crit blast/ ultimate blast?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:51:36 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'I'm going to post a list of the spells on development and ideas o forums now.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:51:38 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'They can.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:51:44 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'They are exactly like normal nukes except sucky for their level'
[Mon Jan 31 16:51:46 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'And free.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:51:50 2005] Davan says out of character, 'ok'
[Mon Jan 31 16:51:55 2005] Davan says out of character, 'well i love it'
[Mon Jan 31 16:52:34 2005] Davan says out of character, 'just as a comparision what will the damage on the level 65 nuke be?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:52:42 2005] Wiz says out of character, '410.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:52:53 2005] Kemper says out of character, 'with dmg inc or without?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:52:53 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'You'll be able to see all the spells in a sec.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:52:57 2005] Davan says out of character, 'ok'
[Mon Jan 31 16:52:57 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Without.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:53:04 2005] Kemper says out of character, 'kool and the gang.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:53:16 2005] Cogswell says out of character, 'will they have a chance to crit also? and will focas work on them also ?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:53:23 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'They are exactly like normal nukes except sucky for their level'
[Mon Jan 31 16:53:27 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'As I just said.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:53:47 2005] Kemper says out of character, 'ultimate blast for 1600 or so...'
[Mon Jan 31 16:54:07 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'I've factored in max crits and max damage increment when calculcating the dps from it.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:54:15 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'So it shouldn't be overpowered.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:54:21 2005] Davan says out of character, 'what kinda casting time/recast time?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:54:26 2005] Kemper says out of character, 'maybe 2k with dmg inc.. sounds good for free....'
[Mon Jan 31 16:54:27 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'No recast, 3.5 cast'
[Mon Jan 31 16:54:34 2005] Kemper says out of character, 'that's awesoem.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:54:36 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Well, yes, but ubs aren't common =P'
[Mon Jan 31 16:54:38 2005] Davan says out of character, 'well so far i love it'
[Mon Jan 31 16:54:42 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Check the forums.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:54:47 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'THe full list of the new spells is available now.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:54:54 2005] Kemper says out of character, 'that's killer.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:55:49 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Basically, I sat down and thought of how to make wizards desirable in groups.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:55:56 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'The options were 1) More damage and 2) more utility'
[Mon Jan 31 16:56:05 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'And so I thought to myself, 'Who makes a wizard for utility?''
[Mon Jan 31 16:56:12 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'The answer was noone, so the obvious solution was damage.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:56:42 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Wizards are already good in raids, and this won't affect raids much.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:56:44 2005] Mortimer says out of character, 'heh'
[Mon Jan 31 16:56:56 2005] Kemper says out of character, '<- guild taxi'
[Mon Jan 31 16:57:00 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'But now they should hold their own as a DPS class for exp groups too.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:57:29 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Yeah, they have ports and they have some minor buffs, but seriously, did you make a wizard to taxi people around and cast blades of war, or did you make a wizard to UB for 9k?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:57:35 2005] Davan says out of character, 'any chance of lower aggro on those spells? like maybe a conc component?'
[Mon Jan 31 16:57:36 2005] Mortimer says out of character, 'what resist will the new spells be - some for all'
[Mon Jan 31 16:57:42 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'No, Davan.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:57:45 2005] Davan says out of character, 'ok'
[Mon Jan 31 16:57:47 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'You'll have to deal with aggro =P'
[Mon Jan 31 16:57:52 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Read the thread, Mortimer.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:57:56 2005] Kemper says out of character, 'aggro is easy to deal with.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:58:10 2005] Davan says out of character, 'time to buy spell casting subtelty'
[Mon Jan 31 16:58:15 2005] Kemper says out of character, 'casting subtlety, grace of the beast, concussion.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:58:18 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Every wizard should have that anyways.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:58:33 2005] Davan says out of character, 'i only have 44 aas gimme time :('
[Mon Jan 31 16:58:57 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'That pretty much concludes my stuff for tonight.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:59:02 2005] Wiz says out of character, 'Glad you all seem to approve.'
[Mon Jan 31 16:59:07 2005] Tasperil says out of character, 'thanks Wiz!!! '
