Runemaster and old clasess

[doombybbr]

In my opinion, Shaman, Beastmaster, Sorcerer, Forge guard and bladedancer are missing a core defining mastery skill.

I especially think that for some masteries, a different skill entirely should have been linked to choosing the mastery(as it is more defining then the one that is picked) - Sorcerer should have Arcane Ascendance(not meteor), Spellblade should have enchant weapon(and it should be re-worked a little) and Void knight should have arcane reversal

Never meant to imply that you said you were the oldest, only meant that yes you are an old fart just not the oldest (stankiest) fart in the room.

Yeah, sorry, that wasn’t meant to be defensive. No worries. Stanky farts have to stick together because our memories are…wait, what we’re we talking about?

Shaman, probably but apparently Tempest Strike (which could be signature) is getting a big rewrite that might make it more so (it’s supposed to be a big hitter not a spammer eventually.)

Beastmaster’s signature is, um, beasts and it’s got a number of them so not sure how that’s not signature.

Forge Guard has Forge Strike. Which should be signature. Maybe not all powerful and probably needs a boost. And Bladedancer has several that I’d argue are signature as well.

So what do you mean as ‘core defining?’ I’m probably not understanding that part.

[doombybbr]

I mean as the SPECIFIC mastery skill you gain from picking it.

Like how the core skill for lich is waith form and necromancer is waiths

Storm Totem could be good if they just let you cast more than one of them. The limitation makes it not very good.

@CaiusMartius

but you definitely have me beat on brain age

Not really, why should we have to spend precious brain cycles on trying to work out what one of ~70 characters does when you could just put it in the name? Bonus points if we could a) put notes on the character screen, b) have the skill bar shown on the character screen & c)rename characters.

@CaiusMartius

And @Llama gets to be Uncle Grumps.

I’ll take that.

@CaiusMartius

I’m older than Llama

Yup, you’re closer to retirement & shuffling off this mortal coil than I am.

Same! I am in my early 30s, have a hole in my brain which I have been told by a psychotherapist aged me 20 years, but I know what build each character is despite being named d4bad(enter numbers here).

I hope this game doesnt turn into PoE where more or less 1 ascendancy for each class is used -Jugg for Marauder, Champion for Duelist, Inquisitor for Templar etc.

I have not got to play Runemaster past picking him in the story, but from a mechanical standpoint, there is probably a lot of tech we dont yet see that will make the class the clear choice for Mage. I sincerely hope all the old classes get a rigorous passover to bring them up to date.
