Oh sorry, forgot to post the fix for that on the BSRS thread (www.tinyurl.com/ezfixit).

Stonewall/Ancient:Haste fix will go there.

Tonight I will try to fully test Enchanter, Shaman, and (if time permits) Druid spells. With all the new spells, DoT focuses will need to go away. The Sorcerer's Charms will NEED to benefit the DoTs for all the spells/classes to balance out. Bards will be slightly OP for 2-3 days until I can get the calculations perfect, but otherwise this will not be an issue.

vampiric thunder is probably stlil one of the best chanter spells they have, it also works for the proc on the pally/cleric epics. that spell is very far from useless Smiley

Ok parsed on my UC paly with 3 FS6 and pet buffed and VT is worth about 4kdps on a 3 minute parse, went from 61k to 65knot bad but with augs it starts to have diminishing returns? I added chanter Ancient haste and got 65k dps so no change. I added Bard and got 70k

If haste lowers delay, and possibly lower delay is faster hitting, if the server would calc for that and also reduce the proc chance and therefore still have same average proc's per minute, then the haste buff wouldn't affect proc DPS?

Hope makes sense.

Ok, let's try this again.

 

Attached is a zip file containing four files. 1 Query to add spells, 1 to add pets, 1 to add items, and a breakdown of items by zone (using drop IDs). Nearly every spell is working as intended. There are a few that did not do exactly what I wanted, but the rest of the effects on the few half-working ones are still good. Once I decipher how to fix the ~5 half-working, we can do simple UPDATE queries to fix them.

 

There is nothing needed for spells and scrolls (in terms of adjustment). Simply run them and go. Pets require a few tweaks. Not having access to DB, I don't know what your npc_types and pets look like. Simply find 8 unused IDs to assign them. Find AAA, BBB, CCC, etc and replace with the npc_type ID you chose.

 

There is ONE external change needed is to the global characters. If this cannot be done, then I will change the illusions on the two necromancer spells.
sdm,sdm_chr
mmv,mmv_chr

 

Lastly, this MUST happen for the DoT users to become fair DPS. It will remove cast-spells only restriction (allowing DoTs). Only bards (from current spells) may see slight OP nonsense. Otherwise, should be pretty much balanced. Necromancer pets may need damage proc on pets halved (but heal left same)
Code:
UPDATE spells_new SET effectid2 = 254 WHERE name LIKE 'Sorcerer\'s Focus%';

So am I reading it correctly that Wizards will be doing 50%  more damage than they do now with that familiar? It seems a bit overpowered given their current dps, but maybe im wrong on assuming thats what it does?

Not at all. It is essentially the same as another 'tier' of the Sorcerer's Focus. Remember that all damage bonuses are calculated off of the BASE damage (additive), and not off of each other (multiplicative).

I am trying to keep the wizards at the 'glass-cannon' type of caster. Also, these numbers are subject to change. I posted a more final breakdown of abilities for ease of reading for myself, Hunter, and everyone asking about them.

I'd like to give each class the same number of spells (3-5 spells preferred). Something standard that can be cloned copy/paste per tier with higher values for the damage, heals, etc. Would make balancing easier, and new spells for new content come out faster.

I'll be honest, I haven't had a chance to look at the new spells proposed yet. I'll need to determine if they are OP or what not. I doubt I'll turn down much, maybe just tweak values if needed.

Having more than the standard 3-5 spells per class per tier is ok but I'd still like a standard set to increase rank per tier just like WoW does when you get new spell ranks.

Thanks for all your help as always.

As far as Wizards are concern, what are their DPS? I know Hate wants to work on them first, and they already some major DPS. I've read before that its lower tiers where Wizards are weak.

I'd like to give each class the same number of spells (3-5 spells preferred). Something standard that can be cloned copy/paste per tier with higher values for the damage, heals, etc. Would make balancing easier, and new spells for new content come out faster.

I'll be honest, I haven't had a chance to look at the new spells proposed yet. I'll need to determine if they are OP or what not. I doubt I'll turn down much, maybe just tweak values if needed.

Having more than the standard 3-5 spells per class per tier is ok but I'd still like a standard set to increase rank per tier just like WoW does when you get new spell ranks.

Thanks for all your help as always.

That's the fun part. Inside the file I sent you (and attached like 3-6 posts up), I broke up the ranks. Some of them are pretty obvious. If a spell is in QVIC/T1/T3/T5 then it's every second tier (starting from QVIC). If it is TACVI/T3/T6 then it's every third tier (starting from TACVI). I did this to even out everyone's damage pace (instead of dumping everything at T3+) AND so we get varied spells per tier.

For example, using TACVI/T3/T6 above. Let's assume this spell is called 'Throw Puppies' and it's necromancer only (those mean necros!). In t7, they would not see another rank and would continue using the T6 one. In t8, they would get a new rank that has damage on-par with T8 damage. This allows us to have a more 'new' feeling in varied spells per tier instead of simply a new 'Throw Puppies' each tier.

I tried my best to balance the spells in this way. That is why some of the numbers seem slightly high as they are no longer throw away spells. They are actually useful past the tier they are earned.


As far as Wizards are concern, what are their DPS? I know Hate wants to work on them first, and they already some major DPS. I've read before that its lower tiers where Wizards are weak.

Before T3 spell, Sorc41+, and/or heavy T3...they are just a loot sponge. Ether Flame is too slow, damage is too low, and none of the AoEs are really worth the cast time. After T3, formidable burst DPS (such as trash pulls) but MUCH lower on longer fights. I have not parsed any of my wizards. I know that versus an augged out DPS class (ninjastriker), I am left in the dust. Against an augged out warrior/paladin/sk, I am the one making the dust. I did not create any new high end abilities, as T6 or T7 may simply allow for a Yamakagi's Fiery Passion Inferno II. The variety of abilities are to (as mentioned above) add variety and options. Even if fully situational options, that's fine. As long as we have more options than wizards currently have now.


I will also add the drop zones for each of the spells on the list above when I get back from running an errand (and getting breakfast! :-O). This will help illustrate the breakdown of abilities I have suggested.

Thanks again Hunter!

Thanks for explaining a bit. Hope I understood right. So each tier will not drop a spell for every class? It'll be every other tier, some classes on odd tiers and some classes on even tiers? Wouldn't that make certain classes un-excited for the next tier?

Soon as I approve the spell, we'll make the standard so we don't have to reinvent the wheel, just increase the size, as what I been stating. Right now Hate is doing the hard part with creation / testing so I'm sure everyone will appreciate that effort after the spells go live Smiley

Once I get back home, I will add the drop-by-zone to the updated spell list.

Also, yes and no to the question regarding per tier improvements. Each tier will yield new spells, but not EVERY spell. Unless my math is wrong, no class should be without new spells each tier.

I do want to add a few more to the classes with a few spells. The buff spells (resists, shrink. Etc) may never need rescaling as clients cap out. The damage/debuff spells can scale up.
