Afair cocoon can get interrupted if you lose +150 hp buff too quickly.

I've also given some thought about this nerfing issue.

Some classes are OP, so they need to be nerfed. But they may still have some advantages after a slight nerf. It's better to completely nerf those classes out of existence.

Spells/ranged attackes are give too much advantage over melee. So, it will be better to nerf/remove them as well.

There are too many weapon/item choices. Better to berf them too as 1-2 are enough for playing the game.

Crafting is too complicating/tiring, so nerf it too.

Some people complain about game slowing down, it may be about graphics, so nerf the graphics.

Quiet a few players mute the sounds so it means that we can nerf the sounds/music (I can even hear some say; What? There is music in the game?).

Finally, a multi player platform is making things complicated. So, nerf it.

Let's see what we have got.
Oh wait. It seems, there already is a game like that.

Halfling ability is weaksauce. Feats and deep plunge into racial tree that isnt the greatest. And feats, I mean...   And then still recon sla for 25 sp>>8 uses per shrine of dragonmarks.

The only thing they need to do is to shorten the timer of Gold Seal Sov Heal pots and make them available at vendors, not effing store bought.

There, balance achieved.

Yes, those are "very" expensive at the moment

Fuck you, halflings are awesome!



I still don't understand why folks think that a non-divine class that can heal itself is too OP. I've played with BF toons a lot. The have recon, and I have my awesome playstyle. I pick up their soulstones afterwards.

Just because they have a recon SLA doesn't make them invulnerable to damage. Becoming soulstones makes them invulnerable to damage. And playstyle >>>>> everything else. Unless you're Shade.

DDO is a bit like the jump room in the Deathwyrm raid.

There are some people that can work out the jump room by looking at it.
There are some people that can work out how to do the jump room after watching someone else do it.
There are a lot of people that need to stand in a laser and die, then be carried through the jump room.

Rebalancing melee is simple, encourage healers to heal instead of casting / dpsing - an increase to ameliorating strike and more similar abilities would work here. Then there wouldn't any need to self Reconstruct, and people wouldn't be encouraged to kite with archers so much so they don't get 1 shotted. If barbs didn't die every three seconds, then people would actually play them and then they would be "OP". Because that is what is being talked about in that thread - builds that don't chain die being OP.

It baffles me when people have trouble figuring out the jump. I mean, just equip FF, cast or pot Jump/GH/Rage/Haste and move your way up. Done. No need for wings either...

But then again, I played games like Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed religiously, so that might affect individual's Mario skills 

Why does everyone seem to think that they'll nerf ranged combat?

So... you ARE Shade.

The recon SLA is the only reason folks play BF. Without that, BFs are nothing but shiny warforged.

From a power perspective, most classes benefit from being bladeforged? Let's see, shall we. Bladeforged is good at: being monks, monk fighters, monk paladin fighters, monk ranger archers, monk ranger paladin archers, monk ranger fighter archers, sorcs, sorc paladins, sorc paladin monks. Broken down, that's 1) monk, 2) fighters, 3) paladins, 4) rangers, 5)sorcs. 5 classes is not "most classes." And even then, those classes would benefit from being BF *only* if their builds allow it.

Bladeforged are not overpowered. They can live better with recon, sure. But not overpowered.

The problem is that *others* suck. And whine a lot.
