I wish every class had the AA that lets you keep your illusion after zoning =\

The ones you speak of are normal for the AA window on an EMU server.

However, My beastlord still can't purchase any more ranks of Warder's Fury or Warder's Alacrity since the source code change. I managed to get One Rank of Warder's Alacrity before those AA's went whacky so it sits at 1/6.

Also, don't forget the higher tier mnk epics have a cure proc which might be causing the proc limit to be reached even sooner.

I can understand the pain seeing how expensive VIII augs are. Would it be possible to add this recipe?

Icestrike VIII + Icestrike VIII + Blue Diamond Ore (X2) = Ninjastrike VIII

I added in the extra ore because it would technically be cheaper to go the Icestrike route without an added cost. This way it makes up the difference (slightly more expensive I think 100k). As with anything though, it would be up to the bossman.

Forgive me if my math is incorrect, but
x2 ISVIII + NSVIII = 105.k dmg
x3 NSVIII = 187.5k dmg
The new Aug is 225k DMG

If he did change the recipe to x2 IS + NS + all the other stuff the dmg of the aug would have to come down.

It will be along time before I see x3 of any VIII aug, but I think the recipe is fine as is. You're not losing any damage if you take a NSVIII off another toon to make an IX. Yes you do have to farm more essences + plat, but you're going to gain dps.

In all honesty, asking for smaller plat bags or something similar in some of the lower zones is not that far fetched.. gems used to be a good source of income in alot of zones and they were removed/severely decreased in an attempt to allievate the lag.

Edit:

Just read about the lore on epics.. I still don't think its a great idea just so you can use haloween weapons. Lots of classes are not great at using them should we change all of them too?

I don't want to sound too aggressively negative here, but no one actually knows if all these changes will fix the lag. Extensive parsing needs to be done if you're going to convert spell dmg to melee dmg... Mostly because white dmg is mitaged and the damage is random / averaged compared to spell damage which is just a flat number.

Problem now is the different combinations of augs each type of class can use. Melee dps is a mixture of IS and NS. Caster dps is all IS. And FS would be Knight/zerk. So I would say there would need to be 3 types of augs.

Combine 1 = IS VIII + IS VIII + NS VIII + whatever else you want to add to the recipe. = Melee aug MNK ROG BST BRD RNG etc..
Combine 2 = IS VIII + IS VIII + IS VIII + etc.. This one can be all/all cuz its just IS combo
Combine 3 = FS VIII + FS VIII + FS VIII + etc PAL ZERK SK

This way no-one's dps will be affected.

I'm not sure what's going on with my beastlord.

Under the Archtype tab, the AA - Warder's Fury (Passive Crits - LDoN) has a strange string of code where it would normally list the level required to purchase the AA. It now shows 0 / 6 and I can't purchase any.

Under the Class tab, the AA - Warder's Alacrity (Passive Flurry - GoD) also has the strange code. I was able to train 1 rank of this about a week ago logged in sometime down the road and I could no longer buy anymore ranks of it. So it sits at 1 / 6 and I can't purchase anymore.

The other day on my beastie I was able to put one point of flurry into passive Pet AA's. Since then all the Passives Pet increases have been greyed out in the AA window and I can't purchase them. I also had Extended Ingenuity on my warrior at one point and now its gone. Also while leveling a rogue today after Purchasing Innate Runspeed 3 times it went to 5/5 and is now sitting at 6/5 when it should actually be 4/5. What's goin on with the AA system?

Selos works for me. It's the only way my group can keep up with me while using the max run speed clicky.

If Paladin and SKs want to be main tanks so badly, we need to take away their dps. Plain and Simple.

Whats the point of being a warrior if they can be replaced by a higher dps tank class?

I'd rather the fear stay than to add DT or Charm.
