Some ideas on Beastlords

[Bone]

I was thinking about some useful things that could be added to the Beastlord spell line that would benefit the soloing Beastlord as well as the Beastlord in a grp/raid situation. Just a brainstorm of ideas let me know what you think.


Short-Term Buff Spells: (Targets: Self only)
(NOTE: The hp/tick dmg is done TO the Beastlord)
(NOTE: These spells would also require a reagent)
(NOTE: Buff cannot be clicked off)

Again having some of these quested instead of dropped of purchased would add some fun to the spells. I have some great quest ideas that go along with these spells. Let me know what you all think.

I think those are pretty cool ideas. Although, I don't think the spells that help with soloing are nessesary. Beastlords are one of the best solo classes in the game. I think the tweaking they would need would be for grouping situations more. But once again, nice ideas, and good spells names!~

=)

 

[Jhesaile Silverblade]

I agree with amelor, totally. Never seen a BL having trouble soloing. What they do need is something to make them more important in groups/raids.

Great ideas, hope GMs agree with you.

 

[Bone]

I imagine that the bond of spirit line would be a boon to a raid with the wide array of bonuses it applies.

 

[Raherin]

Heh, Bone, I'm not talking about the Bond line of spells.

I'm speaking more for the short term buffs. Beastlords don't really need more buffs, I dont think at least. Beastlords are like mini shammys, except for they can hit. Plus they get the Burst of Strength sort of buffs, those are neat short-term buffs.

The self weapon procs are really need. And the group buffs are cool too, only problem is, are the people in the raid going to need those buffs compaired to other buffs that they prolly could have?..I think you can only have like 14 buff slots (not sure). That is just what I think about those, otherwise, they can be really really useful in groups, but maybe not so useful in raids. =)

 

[Kasreyn]

I think your ideas are a good basis to start a new line of buffs.

I like your bst target only spells. I'd give up some hps to make quick work of a tough mob.

I think the fact that some of your group buffs drain mana is a sure-fire way to make sure that they never get cast. Most people would call a spell that you can't click and drains your mana a dot and not a buff.

As a fairly experienced beastlord, one beef of mine is that pets lose their buffs on zones, LDs, etc. If I'm casting 8 or 9 buffs on my pet in order to tank the mob I'm currently soloing, a freak LD puts me back time and mana and sanity. What I would like to see is a pet buff that combines multiple small buffs into one casting. I don't think it should include buffs that the beastlord can't cast already or any buff at any greater power. It would just be nice to reduce the number of castings on any given zone.

For example: if I'm soloing with my pet against tough mobs, I'll cast sta, dex, str, regen, hp, attack, haste, pet haste, pet proc.

If it were possible to create a buff that could combine even 3 or 4 of those into one casting, that would be sweet.

must stop now, rambling becoming incoherent.

 

[Raherin]

I really really agree with you, Kasreyn


For most pet classes this would be great...my mage for example....mostly my shammy though...when im about to solo I super buff my pet cause it can't tank well, or deal damage. Then like you say, LD, zoning, it can be frustrating....but whatever wizzy can handle =)

 

[Bone]

The mana drain is for the beastlord only it wouldnt drain the groups mana.

Added an idea for new condensed buffs for pets as well.
