Tweaks to Bg abilities

Post by Wolfarus »

While im sure there will be no major changes / tweaks to NS4 now that Ns5 is being developed, this post is just in line with the thought thats been put out about changing what a BG has to work with.

Take out contagion (ive never found a good use for it) and give him circle of death instead. Since we cant target our summons with our own cause wounds spell, this would be usefull to the Bg trying to keep his summons
alive.

Give the cause crit wounds spell a side effect on its target (assuming the target was vaid to be damaged by the neg. energy in the first place). Say a random -6 point decrease in str or con. Seeing as how the target just got flooded with a big amount of neg. energy, would make sense from a rp / storytelling side of things.

And for the people who are willing to put every single lvl they can get into Bg (so that would be 30 bg lvls) make the higher lvl summons (dk and bd) come into being with buffs. Like truesight, or greaterstone skin, or greater dispelling. Medium lvl buffs to reward the player who invests solely into the prestigue class once they can start taking it.



Just a cple idea's to make Bg's more then a 1 trick pony

yeah... eventually I'd like to see BG's have some 'fixes' to them

their negative attacks don't work on their own summons, not sure if that's a bioware issue when the server is party-pvp or a changable thing.

going from what mamba has told me about his lvl30 BG summon, it IS a lot better than the lvl22 version, (sadly it doesn't -yet- change into the angel of death).

casting dispells and harms might be interesting.. but really the melee capabilities of the devil are fantastic from what I've seen.

id like to confirm that sometime with in game testing, i could ask purg for his pw and log ulver to see the differences between the two devils. theres also some feat discrepency id like to solve, not sure if some are working/are supposed to work in regards to buffing the summon.

mamba could answer better, but the devil seems to have a cap on it's AB - ie: bardsong and aura don't seem to boost it at all... but he did say that stats boosts increased after bg lvl22.

I'd LOVE to see a winged, reaper-style, scythe wielding angel of death as the lvl30 bg summons, the trade off being no post 20 caster or tumble-class levels to finish the build off with.
