Here's a question to ask: Can I get a refund on the 18 months left on the 24 month subscription? (Yes, I should have known better and I know that I'm too addicted to actually make use of the refund but I'm having a moment.

This is a place to discuss the class issues that I present to the devs, and what response they get.

It is not for bug reporting in general (see thread) or TSS-specific issues (see newly split thread).

Thanks.

I want to know what SOE thinks our role is, they have basically removed 2 of our lines of debuffs, and of course the other is shared with mages:

Magicians get Malosinise Rk. II

Enchanters get Fractured Consciousness Rk. II, a spell line we have always shared that we did NOT get upgraded, they pulled Fracture (the shaman version) during beta. Making our version, which does not stack, worthless when an enchanter is around.

Necromancers get Scent of Twilight Rk. II, a 5% DR dmg bonus, - 63 PR/DR debuff that does NOT stack with our debuff.

I would like to know why we have been reduced to casting Malis and Slow for debuffs. Since we no longer get any other debuffs that stack. Necros and Enchanters got upgrades to lines that we didn't. I'm not saying shaman suck at all, but I'd like to know why 2 of our main debuff lines have not been upgraded while other classes that have always shared the line with us have gotten upgrades, making our versions worthless now.

An issue that might be brought up again to remind the Devs (Prathun) is fixing the code so that Malosinise increases our Curse DoTs as implied by Lucy:

1: Increase Incoming Spell Damage by 5%
2: Decrease Cold Resist by 78
3: Decrease Magic Resist by 78
4: Decrease Poison Resist by 78
5: Decrease Fire Resist by 78
6: Limit: Max Level(75) (lose 10% per level over cap)
7: Limit: Effect(Hitpoints allowed)
8: Limit: Spell Type(Detrimental only)
9: Limit: Resist(Magic allowed)
10: Limit: Combat Skills Not Allowed

Prathun stated in beta he wouldn't be adverse to making it so that it affects DOTs, but that it wasn't a priority at the time. If Malosinise were to increase magic DOT damage, this would not only benefit shamans but also enchanters, necros, and druids.
