QuoteSoE knows this is something we have all wanted for a long time.

Not all of us. I think an illusion makes absolutely no sense at all and is one of the more rediculous requests that have been made over the years. I was hoping we'd never see this or tracking.

I will have interest in this if it can stack with Fero. If it doesnt it will go down on my list.

Grymlok · January 15, 2004, 04:33:13 AM

It is better than fero, and right now, it is a targetable ability, not self-only, which is interesting.

as if the tells to shrink my bear every raid werent enough now i to get to a) be as hugely annoying as my "shrunken" bear and b) get to return to a huge arse ogre when the illusion wears meaning more people are annoyed or more of my time is wasted shrinking myself. yay.... not

QuoteWill Illusion: Bear remove my ability to slam?

I can't speak for this AA ability but yes, you lose the ability to slam as a shaman when in bear form.

Lucy update: changed target from "single" to "self". :(

Oh well, not really shocking.

Grymlok · January 16, 2004, 10:57:31 AM

Heh, I was hoping =)

I would anyone, anyone at all, not want something added to their class? illusion, track, anything..... oh i understand, it takes me 1000 mana and 45 minutes to cast shrink on myself, I get it now. Some people get annoyed cause me or my warder are too big? well too bad.

Shere Khaan · January 16, 2004, 08:59:11 PM

Well illusion has now gone in for the all the aa's. Given that all the levels are the same it must be a reuse timer or duration that sets them apart.

Some of us actually like the lore and basic foundation our class was created on and don't think it is necessary to add features that don't fit that concept.

Moreover, some of us also have consideration for the people we play with. I don't care how long or how much mana it takes to shrink: if it makes gameplay better for my friends and guildmates, then it's something that needs to be addressed. Just because you're obviously concerned more about your own experience than the experience of the people you play with doesn't mean the rest of us are that inconsiderate.

Seboa · January 17, 2004, 07:09:01 AM

I don't think its too far from lore to have an illusion for beasts. We spend a lot of time with our warders and with animals in general. We are lords of all beasts, not just our warders, hence why we get the same animal faction as rangers and druids. We summon Spirits of animals to empower (stat boost) others and ourselves, this is just a more powerful imbuieing of animal spirit, so much so that it turns us into the animal.

Besides, if the lore can't be expanded how can they add any new abilities that aren't just slightly more powerful rehases of others?

The illusion part of this AA is just a toy, and an annoying toy at that. You might not mind not being shrunk when this toy wears off but for those of us who pretty much are continually shrunk on raids it becomes extremely bothersome to have to reshrink all the time. The illusion part of this AA will probably keep me from purchasing it until i have pretty much nothing left to purchase and then ill still only use it in exp groups.

Tastian · January 17, 2004, 10:05:00 AM

The illusion is one the main reasons a lot of people will buy it. The bottom line is not every spell/aa is going to be for every person in every situation. Some AA's are great (bf/ca/scr/etc) and most will buy asap and wish they could get sooner.

Protection of calliav, Group infusion, and a bunch of other AA/spells are things that are "nice", things that some really want, things that are great here and there, and totally useless in other peoples eyes. Personally I think that's great. If you having to shrink is too much of a hassle for you then of course don't use it on a raid for the slightly better stats atm or whatever. For those people that would have spent 3(ish) AA just for illusion scalewolf/blackwolf/etc this is great. I honestly can't put an AA cost, adventure win # or whatever for what I'd give for my pet to look like he did before they changed DPoC again.

If it isn't for you then don't buy, the AA is far from useless and is *VERY* much in demand from other beastlords. Just like group infusion, just like protection and many other things in this game it's not for everyone though. *shrugs* have fun I need sleep hehe.

/agree Tastian

Since we still don't know what the re-use time and duration of this skill will be there's no point in arguing on whether or not this skill is merely a toy anyway
