New AA's for next expansion

[Xatrekak]

seeing as the new expansion is comming out very soon shouldn't we start drafting up some idea's of aa's we'd like beside the basics like more lifetaps crit and dot's crits for our CC to send to the devs?

[Maeryn]

I would imagine that's all been decided and stuff. They'll ask for feedback (without really wanting it), but I had assumed the basics of what they were doing were probably already in the works by now, considering beta starts in a week or so. No?

humm i really like some of the aa's that were posted on there.

[sauruman]

AA's usually come in during the end part of beta, there is still plenty of time to send them ideas. Now is the time...

I dread reading the horrid names people seem to add to their AA ideas before every expansion.

I'm trying to brace myself for the disappointment of not getting corpse explosion (.

How hard would it be? It could function just like wake the dead, except instead of pets coming up and attacking from the corpses, they'd just blow up! Have them do like 4-6k randomly or something. Multiple levels for multiple corpses!

They could even just alter the WTD emote..

You begin to concentrate on whoever's corpse..the corpse explodes in a shower of gore! < Your target > has taken 6666(hey, I'm a necro!) points of non-melee dmg!

Think I read an article,think the link was on this site. Saying it seems like they are running out of ideas for aa's. Which I can agree with that, only so many ways to increase dmg/heals/defence etc....Lot of aa's are redundant,but hopefully they will think of something else.

[Jebasiz]

There's a TON they could add to our class. Other classes too, they're just printing excuses ahead of time.

[FromTheDarkerSide]

The one about keeping lich form when zoning seems real appealing.

I know not really adding "performance" per sae, BUT, how about an illusion for our mounts (i.e. A horse in ghost form, or undead). I think that would be cool.

One AA we should get is getting dragged while FD.

lol that'd need a "live consent" feature or it could get ugly.

[Xelgadis]

As nice as 'corpsedrag while FD' would be (I know I'd sure love to have it), there's far too much exploit potential for it to be implemented without putting severe restrictions on it. Overusing the Air (and Sky) tactic everywhere comes to mind as one example of why they likely won't do it.

[Quezquotyl]

Exploitation or just plain malicious intent? I wouldn't put it past certain friends to park me somewhere I didn't want to be while I was FD and AFK.

They'd never do that... Not if you went FD soloing a named camp. I'd never drag you back to the zone in. Or park you under a see invis mob...

[Jebasiz]

sigh..I just wanna blow up some corpses. Is that too much to ask?

[Schaeffer]

Wish we could blow up people in skellie form who weren't liching. Sick and tired of copycat monks with aon's and/or the halloween scavenger hunt clicky.

Sick and tired of copycat monks with aon's and/or the halloween scavenger hunt clicky. I am forwarding this on to said monk in our guild :D

[Schaeffer]

He already knows how I feel =P

[GnekroeGnomicon]

haha :D

That's why I want it. I played D2 while underway on my ship. Not the online game, but just the single player game. It was fun. EQ is a game, we need to get past "what's fair" etc and think about what would be "fun". Then add those into our game.

Fair is all well and good. Balance might even be important, but fun should be above anything else IMO.
