Seems worthless still to me. Why would you want to reduce your Mind bar anymore?! It can't be healed. Why sacrafice mind for more health and action?

Elanae,


After testing it last night, it doesn't really decrease your mind, it increases it.


For the first minute, yes, its half of what it was. But after a minute, your max jumps up by half.


So with 1000 mind..



  • Initiate power boost. Mind pool drops to half

  • For 1 minute, your Health and Action bars raise by 500as your mind pool returns to 1000.

  • After 1 minute, your Health and Action are maxxed. Your max mind jumps another 500.

So your mind will actually be 1500 for most of your power boost.

What I'm wondering is if you can stack. If I have 1000 mind, can I go to a master dancer and get a 1000 point, 2 hour mind buff, and THEN use power boost for a 1000 point buff to HAM?

Now that would be a little crazy. Fun as heck though.


Thunder if you get a chance, could you test this for us?






Yea, Ill try to do it tonight or this weekend. Im pretty sure that this will all stack though.


Problem is that the test server is pretty barren. I was in theed last night and didn't see another person for 20 minutes.


Ill try to hook up with the Dancer Correspondent to see what we can find.


Very exciting stuff though.


Im pretty sure that I would persue the med branch much sooner that I did before.


Id go, Power, Med 2, Balance then the rest of Med.



Oh, and I hope you guys will like the new Force of Will that will hopefully come out soon.

Sorry, can't help myself. Your pretty intuitive though.



Oh, looks like there is a bug on test where entertainer buffs are stacking. Someone had close to 5k mind!


Can you imagine ?

Wulf,


So to get the new entertainer buff do you have to sit there and watch them for an hour?



As for the stacking, lets hope its not a bug. I'm optimistic because they seem to be moving us toward the tank roll and this would go a long way. Right now, running with Dr buffs all the time my only concern really is the mind pool. With a 2k or 3k mind pool, there are a lot more things I could tank which would be awesome.

Thanks Thund and Mister_Heavy. That Master Dancer thing is intriguing me now.

That is EXACTLY what I am afraid of. Really afraid...

I don't think TKA will ever be overpowered, for the simple reason that TKA is only really ever effective below 7m range.


Every other combat profession can hit from 64m (ranged anyways).


TKA may become really powerful, but the the range we are effective in is a very big disadvantage. If they keep 15 to 20m away from us( they still have 40m range then), we cannot touch them at all unless we switch to a ranged weapon.


But if they get close enough to us to be hit they deserve to get incapped hard and fast.

I agree with Rafed, no matter how powerful we are (or are thought to be), range is our MAJOR weakness. We balance nicely that way.


Oh, and after hearing about the power boost changes (and the fact that I've been using a doctor guildmate to buff constantly), I'm migrating my stats to 750/400/400/750/400/400/1100/600/600. I die more to eyeshot or draining my own mind pool via specials more than anything else.

Now this sounds like a fun skill. I think I'm going to work up meditation right away so I can have this when it gets to the main servers.


As for TKAs becoming overpowered, I think we should be given a bit of a bonus for having to trudge through unarmed brawlerplus the 125k it took to get to TKN. That was pretty grueling...
