Hello,

the shamy shear debuff on this server is 3.0 cast time??? WTF?? who change this spell? mithic or uthgard GM?

This is a owned for shamans, the cast time 2.0 on this spell was really good

This has been already reported to GMs, who said they won't change it because buff shears will disappear with the downgrade to 1.65.

I can't bealieve it would take a lot of time to correct the casting time of a couple of spells before the downgrade to 1.65.

Perhaps it's a kind of custom balance thing.

ofc it isnt.

the guy in charge of fixing bugs most likely gave up

Uhm.. I think dev's said they will probably keep shearing since it's a universal feature, available to every realm on vital classes. It also adds to tactical gameplay and fun to classes such as Shaman.

that statement is old

latest verdict is removal of shears

because it would be custom content, and uthgard doesnt have that.

Agreed on the last part, but...

As there is no plan made yet, we are not going to waste time on this for now. There will be an announcement of course.

The cleric is smiting since version 1.0. However if we switch back to 1.65, buffshears won't be removed. They are a nice feature that all realms have access to and they add a bith of depth to the rvr.

Definitely we will never add championlevels to the game.

Your source is older.

True, but I wouldn't trust your source more than mine since it seems nothing is decided

But I really hope shears won't be removed (or that we won't go to 1.65 at all) cause cleric will really suck to play then ^^ I don't see what good it will bring to remove nice features that make gameplay more interesting and don't unbalance anything...

I would like to have 1.65 with shears. If I got the correct info, I think nearsight lasts shorter then too.

When I wrote this I wasn't aware that in 1.65 even concentration-buff spells are interruptable. Including buffshears in a system with interruptable buffs would be insane. But we're talking about undecided stuff again.

I'd hate to see buff shears disappear too, but so far shaman's cast time remains unfixed and I can hardly being optimistic about that matter. Meanwhile, nothing is decided and nothing is done about this, that's true.

Nayru, do you play this game? No flame intended, but conc-spells being interruptable really doesn't make a huge difference as you make it sound.

Hmm.. I think it would be nice to know what would actually happen if we FULLY switch back to 1.65.

Is there somewhere we can read up on it or a short summary?


Of course this would be an objective view and staff still decides what would make it in or not.
