Gypsys and Rangers getting a battle skill.

[Jaros]

Im assuming the skills are just going to be temp fixes?

If slit works the way I hope it will, it will at least be a step in a slightly different direction.  Beyond that in the medium term there is a plan on the way to adjust all of the major skills pretty significantly such that they actually serve different purposes, so keep an eye on Viri's GM/action points thread.  Then for the much longer term we have Horus's skill trees thread  

Stay tuned, things going on all over the place!!

I'm still working on this skills and some skill tree code has been put in. Now how far that gets we will have to see.

And I would hope these two skills would make it into skill trees. People need to remember that we have 4 coders who could be working on different things and we don't always talk to each other hehe.

Yeah, it would be a shame for the work you've put in to be for a temporary band-aid.

Thats the thing that worries so many different things being talked about and seems multiple things being worked on at once. I just hope not to see multiple changes being worked on at once then get abandoned halfway through. Rather see people focus together on one thing at a time.

Also on another note, on gypsy and their call lightning spell. Any thoughts of how its going to be changed? I really think it needs to be completely revamped. Remove the mana usage and make it use stamina/move. If you start out as fighter and move to rogue you have no mana and you can only use the spell a few times before you run out, and this was the same case before it was tampered with.

Think it should be changed into something along the lines of how kick works, to help with early leveling. Otherwise Gypsy is a long boring class to level.

That is a poor but sadly prevalent approach to fixing shitty classes.

Lol honestly I think the same of slit and thrust

When will there be trainers that can teach the thrust and slit skills? I'm told that at least thrust for rangers cannot be practiced.

Unless somebody objects seriously I'm going to put some time into Gypsies tonight. I think I've got an idea on how we can make classes more interesting.

[Virisin]

What kind of ideas?

[Once]

Badass ones.
