Hello everybody
Srry for not posting before, i've been out all day long, couldn't reply before

I only read the designed changes and ideas... Here's my opnion:

I dont enjoy much the nerfs because many players had paid to change their classes, and lvling with less exp then before is very unpleasent, i can understand it, but still dont like the idea

In fact we have a lack between classes, so this is I have in mind:

First, I've posted before an idea for adding reflect dmg in paladin because of many beneficts, but got no answer on it. I understand for a fast change its not viable, in that case, i think a best aoe on paladin like some players said here is a good alternative but for while..

The best way I see to solve 2 problems (paladins and shaman) is adding some monsters that hits really hard, making possible only for high lvl paladins solo hunt with a huge exp per monster (balancing the lack of aoe dmg) and making possible for barbarians only hunt with a shaman together, making both (shamans and paladins) useful again.
And I understand that new monsters arent the focus now, but u could improve the blockness of paladin aiming on this new monsters, and buffing shamans dmg somehow for hunting while the new monsters dont come, and being useful on the begining of the new server aswell

For the first part of the balancing, i agree with King Healer's ideas, but still focusing on a second part

This way no class needs to be nerfed, and no extraordinary changes needs to be done

The only thing I would like to really highlight is the need of removing the life steal nerf on Pyro.. In my opnion this is responsible for like 90% of his unefectiveness nowaday, and I strongly agree with the radial dmg buff, and that in my opnion still could be 100% of the dmg all around inferno

Srry for the long text, but i hope i've explained well.. Im open for discussions and further explanation

Thx u all

Heya,

That's a tough one. Or change the area of attack for Cleave?

Having some sort of AOE for all classes is some sort of a solution. Is it a long term solution? Don't know. We will keep the TS alive to test things.

Thank you Askja for the detailed math. These numbers are just for testing purposes and they can be fixed :)

We would like to keep a certain difference between sub classes. Having all of them do great AOE damage is not the main goal here, just slightly reduce the experience gaps between each sub class.

Eventually we might be going towards the more AOE based damage but for now let's try to keep the changes small and slowly work our way towards a better balance.
