Continual Air-lore actually went below my expectations

[orccrusher]

Sorry, I didn't mean to start another "KOA sucks. No it doesn't" debate with my comments.

KoA doesn't suck. 5 deep KoA suuuuuuuuuuucks...

[Kaluu]

I can not think of anyone I have ever run with who considered a little reflected damage to be of any value, whether it was from skill or gear or on either a freep or creep. I've seen numerous gear with reflected damage rolled on for vendor sale that no one wanted, even to vendor.

The dev's comments will make it better but the number is still the same. It is just a little incremental edge to add to the other incremental edges that together make a difference. Though, I have to wonder how much reflected damage one can get with gear that has reflected damage and also has other good stats.

Anyway, the Lm class was not broken or anything but they did something. How would we have felt if we didn't get anything? I haven't seen any better ideas come along.**

**blatant attempt to derail. Let it die lol.

People really slot 4-5 deep KOA??? I am astonished...

The only time I have ever slotted KOA is when I am in a raid with 8 hunters.... or trying to get on creeps nerves with the bog lurker.

Those that slot KOA understand the bonuses with 4 deep MONF right?

Yes, and yes.

Yes, I slot 5 deep KoA. And yes, I've gone with 4 MoNF slots. Slinging flamin' death may work for some folks, but I'm almost always with a group and feel my ability to CC, backup heal, remove wounds/disease, and other "support" stuff is just as valuable. Even with MoNF capstone, I'll never reach the numbers of a well-geared hunter or RK, and that's fine. I prefer my role on my LM as support. If I get tired of that playstyle, I have two accounts and 11 other alts on BW (plus a handful on Landroval) that I can swap to if need be.

Played around with this skill a little more last night, found something else that was pretty annoying.


While running the solo instance where you help the ranger Calenglad, I tried to put the Charged Air buff on the NPC, and got "invalid target."

Not that I can recall ever trying to buff an escort NPC with the old skill, but here was a situation where I thought the upgrade might actually come in handy, yet I was forced to put it on my pet rather than the aggro magnet that I had no control over.

At least the skill icon is neat-looking.

Just easier to salvage a skill that they thought players would love but isn't used, actually one of the least used , (just a guess, I only tried it once or twice ).

Time spent creating it vs the time players ever bothered to use it didn't seem worth it.


I'll check back on it after the next patch er.. upgrade, to see. What's the timeline on that ?

[Brakens]

I trained Continual Air-Lore so I could see for myself what was happening. I am very disappointed in this ability! I have used it on my pets and on tanks and it drops by it self everytime...I have not yet gotten to toggle it off. I wish I could turn it in and get the old one back.

It's nice to see the dev who posted the dev diary about these skills taking our feedback into consideration and responding to our concerns.

Where was that?

[Herellomar]

Where was that?

Right here.

For those that may miss the post hidden in an existing thread. I guess we have to wait to patch 1.

Here it is:
