remember when this thread was about tomes and not ranger dps? those were happier times.
Twenty-five New Tome Ideas (just Read What Interests You)

I could NOT agree more.
I really like this idea...
Shared Mind = "The first two ranks of this ability make your group gain some of the benefit from the following AAs, if you have purchased them: Combat Ferocity, Combat Agility, Unerring Precision, Lightning Reflexes, Spell Casting Fury and Fury of Magic. The third rank of the ability confers the benefits of all purchased resists AA's to his or her entire raid. There is no stacking effect with multiple enchanters in the same group or raid - whoever has the highest rank in Shared Mind overrides the other."
Zaela once made an amazing post telling us what this AA did. AKA what the % of "some of the benefit" was. Maybe this Tome should increase this % until 100% of the enchanters aa's? If it was viewed at too underpowered even at 100% then the class tome could look at the tomes the enchanters has after that. It would also be cool to see a rank of the tome increase the number of people who benefit from Shared Mind to the whole raid.
I will also shamelessly post the Idea i had when the Spires Class bracer was nerfed for Enchanters.
ENCHANTER
Tash the Planet – The presents of the enchanters spells are so overwhelming to the target that their magic defenses are slowly stripped away.
Rank 1: The enchanter gains the ability to cast an additional spell before their intended spell lands that lowers the targets magic resistance by 15 (Tashan)
Rank 2: ” 25 (Tashani)
Rank 3: ” 35 (Tashania)
Rank 4: ” 45 (Tashanian)
Rank 2: ” 25 (Tashani)
Rank 3: ” 35 (Tashania)
Rank 4: ” 45 (Tashanian)
TL;DR – Enchanters gain the ability to cast a debuff spell by default to help clean up their overpopulated spell bar.

I can produce 2 years of real time progressing Exodus parses from t-8 mobs to t12 ones (with generally the same characters), but as was said this isn't the place to argue this. I'm going to drop it.

You bother to read what I wrote? I said I was dropping it.

Servant training in current form
Grants a new stance each rank that sacrifices the pet with the following effect:
1) Explode in a disease-based AoE
2) Mez nearby foes
3) Drain HP from target to heal group
4)Infect target with a splurt-type spell.
I would like to see this buffed some as level 3 is pretty much never used. This might change some if maybe add 150 - 250 mana or something to it so its a group heal and regains some mana to the group.
Focused Hate in current form
Adds mana drain and stun to Improved and Leech Touches and increases their damage per rank.
I think this should give the sk 500 - 1k mana back can do 250pts of mana per book.
Third shadow Knight tome option 1:
Chance to proc a short duration song window buff that adds ac either defensive proc when getting hit or offensive.
call it 15 at rank 1 and 60 at rank 4
Third shadow Knight tome option 2:
Chance to proc a short duration song window buff when you get killshot on mob
rank 1 - 5% spell dmg increase 5% increased chance to crit (3 tics)
rank 2 - 10 % spell dmg increase 10% increased chance to crit (3 tics)
rank 3- 15% spell dmg increase 15% increased chance to crit (4 tics)
rank 4- 20% spell dmg increase 20% increased chance to crit (4 tics)
@ 4 tics that is about 24s can cast 1 spear and 4-5 lifetaps. The numbers are a little high but that is because SK's don't get that many kill shots.
Third shadow Knight tome option 3:
Give the sk the abilit to triple attack either only with 2h or possibly with 1h as well. At the fourth rank maybe 25-50% chance.

I am against any tome adding anything to the song window, I think it would be really annoying for raids. A buff or worn effect would be better.

song window is like 100000% better then buff bar which is already crammed with too many buffs/effects and that awful cleric runic pet
donfolstar3
Dalayan Master
1000000% better than a steaming pile of crap is still surprisingly awful.
3rd sk tome should add to sense heading. not quite as amazing as bard med tome but sks will just have to settle with being like wolverine at what they do.

good thing you are a bard and would not get the benefit from the sk book.

What positive thing did this post add? or any contribution for that matter?
But a 2 bard raid would have the druid hots being overwritten by the sk buff / crash the zone/person or whatever happens when someone gets 7 songs on them. Like i said for the druid song idea, cool but annoying in places.
Moraelintz
Dalayan Elder
we have run 2 - 3 bards and a druid in some raids and never had any of those issues.
donfolstar3
Dalayan Master
well, it wasn't as useful as a series of posts crying about ranger dps, but i think it conveyed two points
1. more buffs/songs bad.
2. sks are already in a great place.
#2 is the reason so many people have a hard time thinking of sk tomes. what do you give the class that has it all? maybe set your sights a little lower and\or come up with something that is more distinct to the class instead of throwing general ideas any class would gladly have.

SK tome :
Increase the damage of the shadow knight in exchange for a -50% agro modifier when using a 2h wep and does not have a Agro buff on (Probably to complex to balance but would be a cool idea for when shadowknights are not being tanks in the group to add a little more dps to them but probably hard to keep the checks active enough to prevent exploiting)

Just make the tome add a damage bonus to /s 9. Problem solved. Tad on the blah side, though.

I really like this idea, maybe those percents could be adjusted but overall it's a pretty neat idea, the whole interrupted spellcasting of all aggroed enemies.
This is a really great idea aswell because I feel like druids really should get a healing tome. They pretty much get shafted as far as that goes and get semi-useless things as their class tomes are now.
