Contrary to popular belief, I DO have a job. Actually, part of the inspiration for this guide comes from my job. I will be deploying for about 8 months shortly, and before I leave I wanted to leave a bit of a legacy that will help other people enjoy the game. I have college classes as well, so that partly explains why I delayed a bit on posting this. That, and the fact my computer froze while making this which set me back a few hours.

1.1.1 Personal Experience - I have used dual wield, two-handed, and played with every single possible variation available in the feat tree. The only thing in common I distilled from my time playing is the unique playstyle that accomodates the spec. I’m very excited that this class doesn’t have to be “a boxed set” of abilities, i.e. every conqueror wandering around with only one of two possible specs. Our class has a good survivability in any encounter be it pvp, pve, solo, leveling, etc. My impression will be offset by other people’s experience, but I honestly feel the conqueror is the most versatilie - and heaviest dps - of the age of conan gold soldier archetype.

Renuo has more PvP experience than I do, and that influences his information:

Filed under: 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — goldaocigxz @ 12:17 pm

Amidst a blood crimson sunrise, the first century of the forth cohort, stood vigilant watch over the walls. Under the command of First Centurion Leonius and Second Centurion Artorius Gemellus, the century was busy shoring up the defenses, for earlier that night Leonius had had a dream, and war would soon be upon them. His superiors dismissed his dream as nothing more than a hallucination, but the legionaries under his command believed him, for they had no choice, unless they risk the flogging that would ensue for speaking out against an officer.

The leadership of the guild uses its former training as legionaries, to train its new members.

Those that do not know us might think our motives to be purely for financial gains.

Recruits MUST have at least a combat level of 20 and have completed the starting area prior to joining.

Recruits must be entering their main character into the guild. Alts will be allowed into the guild on a case by case bases. You must have your “Main” in the guild, and have reached level 70 on that character. Your alt must meet all the above requirements, and you will be limited to one alt in the guild.

We are more a splinter type legion that refuses to give up its war.

We fight to safeguard those that cannot or will not safeguard themselves.

Recruits MUST be willing to participate in PVP when called to do so! See Code of Conduct for more details.

Other RP information:

Guild Story:

Some may see us as criminals, while others see us as warlords, which refuse to give up on battles long lost.

Recruits MUST be at least 18 years old in real life, to be accepted into the guild. NO EXCEPTIONS will be made, unless you were a prior member of an Alpha Company guild, and then you will be subject to additional training.

At the military fortress of Fort Tuscelan, along the Black-River, a garrison of imperial soldiers was assigned to guard Conajehara, knowing that they were the first and possibly the last line of defense.

Pallantides, leader of the Black Dragons, under secret decree from Conan, continues to supply us with orders and supplies when he can. For soon he will have need for mercenaries not just to battle the Picts, but other forces that threaten the sovereignty of Aquilonia.

In some cases we take money for our services, but only what we need for supplies, and arms.

Amidst the chaos at the end of the battle the remaining four survivors from the fourth Century slip into the woods, and into hiding. They knew the king would not risk another open war the Picts, so their only course of action was to wage a war in secret. They would band together as mercenaries, for this time they would fight not for land but to avenge their fallen brothers from the Battle of Tuscelan. To honor the fallen the named themselves “Primus Pilus” meaning Prime Century. They would soon raise an army, under the command of General Leonius, and Prefect Gemellus.

We are mercenaries in title only; we fight for a higher purpose other than fame and fortune.

Recruit MUST have a name acceptable to RP standards. Names that ARE NOT acceptable include but are not limited to leet names, names that spell out phrases, names that are copyrighted, or names that go against lore. Such names may be acceptable by game standards, but they are not acceptable by ours.

Our true motives are known only to us.

How over players might view members of our guild:

Recruitment Requirements:

Recruits MUST have a good knowledge of Conan lore.

Recruits MUST have left prior guild in good standings, if applicable.

This is the standpoint of our guild members in the grand RP scheme of things:

Recruits MUST be average height and weight, for a soldier.

Recruits are strongly encouraged to download and use Ventrilo (see Appendix #2 for details). Even if you don’t have a mic you can still listen. This WILL BE required for all raids.

We fight for a higher purpose other than personal glory and riches.

It was no coincidence that the same sunrise aoc gold Leonius saw in his dream was quickly raising over the horizon, blood crimson color as if Crom himself had pierced it with his sword, signs of death. Suddenly battle horns sounded, for thousands of Picts were on their way to the fort, and a collision course with destiny. A great battle ensued but the Picts gained the upper hand, destroying the fort and pushing the garrison back to Fort Velitrium. By time the battle was over both sides had been dealt significant casualties, and neither could advance their lines any further. Of the 480 men only some 50 remained, including just five from the fourth century.

Recruits MUST be from Aquilonia. The only exception to this rule will be for “Bear Shamans” that can only come from Cimmeria. “Bear Shamans” will be allowed into the guild in a limited quantity and aoc gold you should seek the permission of an officer prior to applying. “Bear Shamans” that have sought permission from an officer, must apply just like anyone else, in addition you will be required to post a back-story on the Alpha Company Online Forums as to why you (as a Cimmerian) would be aiding your former enemies, prior to your acceptance into the guild.

King Numedides would soon be slain by Conan. “Primus Pilus” followed the king in title only, for he was nothing but a weak puppet ruler, under the influence of the vial sorcerer Thulandra Thuu. It was at this time that the survivors revealed themselves and supported Conan’s new rise to power, for Conan had to been at the Battle of Tuscelan, and he offered the best chance to take the fight back to the Picts.

I’ve been playing the Bear Shaman since Early Access aoc gold began and I’ve always been a bit frustrated with the lack of consolidated availability of Feats, Combos and Spells. Hunting around in game as well as the web I’ve put together a (hopefully) complete list of all Combos, Spells and Feats.

ROAR!

Feel free to look me up on Wiccanna,

The first section is Combos, then Spells then Feats and Feats are sub categorized into Spirit, Wrath, General (as if looking at the feat tree from Left to Right)Each section is listed by order of acquisition (So lvl 1 is first and lvl 80 is last)

I’ve tried to be as complete as possible but I’m sure aoc gold you’ll all understand that with such a huge list, as well as the game being updated all the time its not an easy task. I’d like to ask that anyone who has any additional information or sees something that is inaccurate, Please post below or PM me so that I can update the post.

Hi,

It seems that the initial information given to us by FunCom about the actual specifics of the Combos/Spells/Feats are vague at best, however there are a new instances where they do get specific. If anyone has been able to pin point correlations between (for example) Heal spells and Wisdom scores/Level, please dont hesitate to post and I’ll update as things are applied.

Angry Some info regarding the bear shaman(+FAQ/tips) Hello,first off,at the moment of this writing i am a 71 bear shaman on a pvp server(with 2 previous bear shamans in the betas). This is by no means meant to be a “THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY BEAR SHAMAN!” guide,this is just some information and my experience with certain things,take it as an advice,nothing more,nothing less. I would also like to thank the people who added their opinions and their insight into certain things(and i feel i have credited everyone who added anything even remotely useful). I do believe i have some experience with how we work in pvp and pve and i want to share some things with the community.With that being said,lets start: We are not as powerful as the other 2 priest classes,we can not AOE mobs like them nor can we grind like that,we can solo 2-3 mobs without any problems after level 20 and we are a great solo/group class. However,we are the most versatile class in game,we bring buffs,debuffs,healing,damage and plenty of other things to the table. We are desired in teams because of our heals,many people do not understand how big of a benefit we are,simply because they do not bother to learn the toolset of other classes. Our spells are mostly self only(apart from Rune of Resilience,Claws of Corruption and Rune of Resistance,those are party wide),we do damage with combos(other priests do damage with spells,they use mana,while we use stamina),this is a double edged sword. The fact that we separate mana from our damage means that we can do damage and not have to worry about mana,however without stamina we are useless(and when you are out of stamina you get a huge debuff on your evade chance/casting concentration),again it is another thing you have to manage,so get used to it if you plan to play this class to 80 With the above being said,it does not mean that we do not USE mana,we are not depending on mana to do damage,however,a good bear shaman will be using his debuffs(and buffs) which drain mana(enfeeble/hostile territory/roar/rune of aggression). At raids or 6 man dungeons(like Atzels or Onyx chamber for example),you should be killing mobs in about 20-30 seconds(they are level 80-82 elites),that means you will be using your debuffs to weaken the mobs and thus help your team survive.(the debuffs will recharge before the next pull,roughly speaking in terms of kill/time ratio) We can use the following pieces of armor and weapons: Armors=Cloth,Light,Medium armor,all pieces.(more in the armor section) Weapons=2 handed blunt,crossbows,bows and thrown weapons.(more in the weapons section) All in all,it is a fun class,provided you do not have problems with micro management,enjoy multi tasking and like to work on your character Now lets go over to the newbie island! 1.1 Tortage We(like everyone else) start on Tortage and after watching the intro(which gives you an idea on what just happened),you should talk with Kallanthas(sp?) and he will give you more info. Now before going from the beach into your own adventure,look to the left(crocs,kill them for xp ) and to the right(same+boss drops a nice ring). Once you clear them all,you should be level 2 or 3,talk to the female that is chained up and kill the first mob,get the key and free her,once you have done that,go left(and right) and kill the bosses(and loot your first weapon! \o/). Once you do this,things are pretty straightforward untill you enter Tortage(at level 5). In Tortage,just try to get a “feel” for your class,i won’t lie to you people,we plainly suck at lower levels. We are TERRIBLE at levels 5-14,but,do not judge a class based on this,you won’t have problems killing 2 mobs at a time provided you think a bit and use pots(they will be your main source of healing until 15) and after level 20,you will start to love the class. As soon as you do your first destiny quest(only doable during the nighttime) you will get your first hammer(a significant upgrade,both looks and damage wise,to the club) I suggest you just solo and try to get a feel of the game untill level 12-15,then try grouping and doing some picts in the Acheronian ruins. I also suggest that you do ALL of your quests on Tortage,since they will give you some starting money. If you rolled on a pvp server,get used to dieing a lot in the Underhalls(the meeting place of all the losers) and White Sands Islands(dead race between that and Underhalls),be ready to get spawn camped and my advice is just get over it,there is nothing you can do about it.

A level 80 Necros thoughts…

Filed under: 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — goldaocigxz @ 12:14 pm

Geild Bones.

————————————————————————–

Hope the spell breakdown helped a bit. I’ll answer any questions as well as I’ve probably left massive stuff out and haven’t really given a breakdown of feats yet either.

I realize this may sound like whining, and for the most part it is. I, however, would like to see some massive improvements on our class in the future, or I may just re-roll now, I haven’t decided.

Also without breaking any NDA I can tell you that I may or may not have experienced playing a *very* high level demonologist in beta, or a very high level bear shaman. I have also pvp’d quite a bit, with about 450 kills and deaths in pvp total. So for the most part I have a good understanding of our class and others as well.

Description makes it sound like a great spell. Extremely hard to get people frozen with it though. It works 70% of the time on mobs, never seen it in pvp. Perhaps the 10 degree angle could be pushed out to 30-45?

Now on to the bad part…

Harvester.

Let me first say I started out as a re-animation build and found it was very difficult to kill things, so about level 50 I switched over to Nightfall and liked it. It was finally pretty easy to solo 2 mobs at a time and I was a bit happier. Once I hit 70 I switched back to reanimation for corpse explosion and haven’t respec’d again yet, though I want to try an ice build (seems the best pvp build?).

Sadly, that’s about all I can think of that are actually worth having as a necro.

Was good until they nerfed recast. 45 seconds? Seriously? Why… it’s not even that good in pvp, all I used it for was killing mobs.

Blasphemous Ruin.

Nice spell, wish range was better (maybe feat to increase range? or have general tree include this spell?)

Wow, 5 damage, *and* you have to put feat points into it, just so you can actually snare people. This is probably one of the most silly things I have ever seen. It should automatically be part of the spell and those feats should be changed to something useful.

We have two different ones to choose from, which is nice, although the “unimaginable terror” does not always work, the one that sacrifices a pet is usually a good way to stop people from hitting you.

I heard that our class (as well as Demos) were being reviewed by developers and (hopefully) having changes made to them. This is why I am posting now; to give some opinions from a level 80s perspective that they may have not already have received.

Some things that are nice about our class:

I recently reached level 80, and I have to say I am fairly disappointed with this class. I fear I am probably the weakest class in the game at level 80 currently, with the over-powered healers, insane HoX’s and barbarians and the never dying tank classes.

Again, like these pets to. Don’t see very good stamina/mana aoc gold drains though, unless I use the Void spell, which I shouldnt have to, it should augment it.

Corpse Explosion.

—————————————————————————

There are many things that I would consider bad about our class, many spells that don’t seem to have a function or work properly.

Parasitic soul swarm (sp).

Very, *very* nice pets.

Unholy hands.

Fear.

I *love* this spell. Especially when grind groups in keshatta have just finished killing a large group of mobs, I can usually kill 3-4 of their party easily (with Tome of Erlik of course). Recent nerf made this a minute cooldown, which is fine, I can see why :P

Dread Archmage.

Basically in PvE we seem to be fine, at level 80 my archmage pets are amazing at killing mobs. In PvP however, things need some drastic changes I think.

Frost Blast.

It’s nice that the spell is affected by range-enhancing feats in age of conan gold the general tree, but I wish the damage was about doubled, since I only do about 145 to each person (not quite good enough to finish people off). Instant cast would be nice too but 0.5 is ok I guess.

Tradable Epic 2H Sword…

Filed under: 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — goldaocigxz @ 12:13 pm

Well today after the patch the sword has a name and that name is in purple, so I took a screenshot (forgive the quality and my crappy 12FPS).

I thought the sword was a Blue item at best and I was not aware that an Epic item could be a random drop that can be sold once I outgrow it.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1…picture003.png

A friend of mine found this sword on his Necro (he literally found it laying there in a chest out in the wilderness, so when he picked it up he could not see the requirements for it. *It also did not have a name at all… just a blank spot.

Post here with questions, I am a lvl 58 2H hybrid barb with mediocre gear.

I met him near E. aoc gold Mountains and he gave me the sword and I was able to equip it. First thing I noticed besides the lacking name was that the DPS on it was decent and it has two procs. Just stance dancing between Reaver and Blood Rage stance was a difference in DPS (Also notice in the screenshot that the DPS from the description when the chat link is clicked is higher that my normal Blood Rage stance DPS).

*I got the Deepwound 1H Epic sword from the Arena quest chain aoc gold a few days back and I was tempted to respec back into a heavier Reaver hybrid build, but now I think I will stick with 2H.

In the late 30s you will want to hit the instance in the wild aoc gold lands. There is a dungeon here that drops great blue items with plenty of priest specs on it.

30-38(or 40) Wild Lands. Questing, and some grinding at the end. Did Sanctum at osme level between 35 and 38.

Run Speed - Travel speed. For some this is extremely important. I have found others that dont put any points in it at all. Your mileage may vary.

Everyone will find their own spell rotations and you WILL find times where you cant or actually shouldn’t stick to any single spell rotation.

For group play where you will not be the tank you can use a Tome. I have yet to find a Tome that really stood out against the benefits of a shield after level 30.

Is there a good spell rotation?

40-45 Noble District (Old Tarantia). Quests mainly and some grind.

Questing through the 20s is the best way to upgrade your gear with some good items coming from quest chains in Connals Valley at the Fortress. (I wont give away too much and spoil it)

Dellia’s PoM Feedback Thread

We do and it is pretty good but dont compare it to other games. Repulse is the first form you get which is a great knock down. It is feared in PvP and a great way to break up incoming damage for PvE. You can talent it to do more dps later on in the game.

Mana Attractor (may be broken) - Should sometimes increase aoc gold the mana regen rate. I dont keep this maxed but I do keep it high. I can tell a difference in regen rate with it vs without but some are reporting that it does not appear to do much. The skill may be bugged or due to the chance based nature of it not as effective as it should be.

How Do I Heal?

The Priest of Mitra is a Battlepriest with flavors of Druid, Cleric, Monk and Paladin thrown in.

Climb - In the Old Tarantia Nobel disrict there will be a quest in the 40s which requires 300 climb skill to complete. (this quest may be bugged) There are several quests that require climb near 200. We dont know how useful climb is going to be in the endgame but if you enjoy shortcuts this may be a skill for you.

Perception - there are mixed reports on how useful this skill is. if you do want to find high level sneakers you need points here so that you can search for them.

Should I use a shield?

I thought we had crowd control? (cc)

Visit the Feat Trainer in Old Tarantia at the steps of the Temple of Mitra. She is on the right if you are facing the temple entrance. The fee for respecs goes up the more you do it.

38-50 Field of the Dead. Questing a bit but 3 level of solid grinding in the forest from 47 to 50.

If you have divinity only build you would not cast Cleansing Fire and if you have a vengeance only build you would not cast Lance.

What is the main difference in the builds?

When Do I get some good gear?

60-65 Thunder River. Grinding. Very little questing, maybe a level’s worth. Either south of the zone in point or the picts to the east. Remember: the binding guy is just by where you zone in over the river in front of a big rock.

Skills that improve health or stamina regen are probably not worth investing in because you have the ability to heal these using your mana pool.

As your levels progress you will end up with AOE knockback, fear, stun, blind, AOE snare, and an AOE stun that you can get with feats. The short duration of crowd control compared to other games simply forces you to choose when you use them. Use them wisely and do not spam them.

You may also spec some feat points into Lance of Mitra and improved lance. This will take a damage spell and add a healing component to it that scales with the number of mobs you hit. This is the bread and butter of Divinity builds.

At 40 it is possible that you have selected the Purification of Mitra feat. This changes the rotation somewhat. One example would be

This is a sample PvE build.

It is possible to collect a full set of pict caster gear from the picts on white sands. This is good for level 9-14

1-20 Tortage

A Note on Hide - It is not necesary to max hide if there are shadows present. They greatly reduce the skill level required to hide If you are only using this as a means to get the drop on unsuspecting players in PvP 30 points should do the trick.

For a good thread on the matter look below:

In addition to the HoTs you have Radiance which is a large self and group heal. Targets need to be in close proximity for this heal to work. It also casts a debuff on all those healed including yourself so that you can only reapply it every 60 seconds to the same target.

Top 10 Issues List

Griefa’s Feat Review

Where should I level?

65-73 Atzel’s Approach. Some questing but mostly grinding. Wanted posters. Don’t kill the wagon. To get to the east side, go north along the frozen river, loop west through the camp with the ice demon, go up the ice stairs and through the warden camp to the bridge and cross there. Or go up the mountain to the right of the entrance of the zone, you can climb it here, just beware of snakes. hard hitting, high level snakes. Don’t try the boss, you will die.

Relax. The healing really begins to take off and scale well after 25.

Your staple heals will be HoT or heal over time spells. They are also area of effect (AoE). This means that you usually need to be close to your group to heal. Each heal has conditions like it only heals in a cone in front of you, or certain range 360 degrees around you. Proactive healing is recommended but use it carefully.

If you are solo a shield reduces the damage you take from melee mobs quite a bit. It is advised that for a limited reduction in stats from a Tome that you use a shield when soloing. There are some great shields with +Wisdom for priests.

You dont get a classic direct target heal. This is not other games and watching healing bars does not appear to be part of the intent with the priest classes. Healing and DPS go hand in hand. To fight is to survive. A PoM does his best healing when he lets his Crowd Control interrupt the flow of damage so that the HoTs can tick away.

50-60 Eiglophian Mts. Questing some but mostly grinding either the canibal cave or the camps on the west side of the mountain.

Yes, Wisdom and several other stats are broken

When do I get a direct heal?

There are 2 main builds around 40 and many hybrid builds. In general you will want to choose one of these two paths. To help with mana regen it is highly advised that you put points into Ether Flow.

73-80 Keshatta. GOOD LUCK. This zone is total chaos. I grinded 99% of it. I suggest saving all of the quests for level 79, then turning all of them in to get 1/2 of the level in one chunk so the final level is easier.

What about skill points?

20-30 Conall’s Valley or Khopshef’s Providence. Questing mostly.

If you do your destiny quest you will receive some good gear that will get you into the low 20s.

This depends greatly on the build you select. Most players if solo will precast their HoTs, use smite to pull and then follow up with a burst of damage, repulse the mobs to allow the HoTs to recover any lost health, reapply the HoTs and burst again.

I dont like my spec what can I do?

So this is me saying thanks to everyone.

Without getting into a deep discussion about this: aoc gold Divinity makes DPS spells into healing, Vengeance makes Healing spells into DPS and the general tree is for utility.

**Perception & Hide - May be more important if you are on a PvP server.

Casting Concentration - This should be maxed early on and after about level 20 or 30 you only ned to put points here when you find yourself being interrupted. You will find gear that raises this skill allowing you to spend some points in other places.

Renew Mana - It takes quite a few points before the effects are very evident but it becomes quite noticable around 40 or 50 if you dont have enough. For many this will be a skill maxed every level to 80.

Rethaul’s Complete Dark Templar Feedback and Suggestions Compendium

Filed under: 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — goldaocigxz @ 12:11 pm

3. Life Spike – This is my idea for a life leach spell. Something like a 20 second cool down that inflicts 350 unholy damage on the target and restores 20% of the damage inflicted as each of life, stamina, and mana for the Dark Templar and everyone in his group. I suggest a mana cost of 350. It would be a ranged spell.

11. A Soul for our Feast - Add an additional Stamina and Mana tap effect to this skill and set the percent tapped to 5% for each stat.

I believe the changes I have suggested above would be enough to move the Dark Templar well into the right direction if combined with better feat trees. I do not believe that it will take much at all in regards to fixes for the Dark Templar feat trees to give the class the balance and focus it needs.

13. Consuming Bulwark - Move to Desecration in the 5th row.

A) Stamina leaching effects would drain an amount of stamina from our target equal to half of the stamina we stole, so if I steal 20 stamina from someone they would lose 10 stamina.

14. Ritualistic Bloodshed - Move to 6th row Depravity.

Disclaimer

On top of our poor feats is the lack of direction for the aoc gold class, it seems like we where supposed to be tanks who don’t have quite as much physical mitigation as a Guardian, but makes up for it through life leaches and group buffs. This ended up failing and we don’t tank and our buffs are fairly poor.

* Much of this is based on my personal experience aoc gold and opinion, although I have done a fair amount of testing on much of what I am posting about. I want to be very clear that I do not think that Dark Templar’s are the weakest class in the game, but they are certainly near the bottom. I hope that every other underpowered class gets brought up in strength, I am merely doing what I can for my class.

Our poorly thought out set of feat trees are easily one of the biggest problems with the class. In many cases we are forced to spec down non-synergistic lines to get one or two good feats, or go down a decent line of feats to find out the end of the tree is complete waste. Many of our feats seem to be filler and in some cases our higher tier feats are worse than our lower tier feats. I will of course give specific examples and suggestions for fixes further down in my post.

9. Martyrdom – Restores life/stamina/mana (depending if feated) based on the damage done to the Dark Templar, so for example, using this in Frenzy stance would double the stats it restores.

8. Rite of Blood – Change this to a permanent buff that deal 50 damager per second to the Dark Templar, but also restores 50 stamina per second while active. This would be a skill that could be toggled on or off like a stance (can be used in unison with Frenzy/Defence stance). Having this skill active in Frenzy stance would increase the DPS to 100 and the stamina restore to 100 per tick.

2. Change the way mana and stamina stealing procs and effects work. My suggestion would be to treat each as a “stat burn”, like the mana stealing and feated Mystical Bane. I am specifically suggesting the following changes, to leaching effects only:

15. Mind Wrack/Mind Shatter - Make these instant cast, giving us a chance to use these and stop a moving target. A larger range on these would also be helpful.

1. Give us more base HP, an extra 5-10 HP per level should fix this, resulting in 400-800 extra HP at level 80. This would put us more on par with Guardians and go a long way to helping us be more of tank.

This is quite a long read, it requires me to split it into two posts. I was inspired to do this by Vlad’s thread. If you do not want to read all my commentary, skip to the sections with coloured text as those are the real meat and bones of the post.

The first thing I will talk about is how to improve the class as a whole and give us more focus, here is my first set of suggestions for the general improvement of the class:

I have been level 80 for just over a week now, and above level 70 for two weeks; I am one of two Dark Templar’s in my guild and one of only a handful of active ones on my server (Tyranny). As a Dark Templar I am honestly struggling to find my place and purpose. We do not tank anywhere near as good as comparably specced (tank) and geared Guardian, we don’t have all that great damage and our group utility is next non-existent.

B) I am suggesting the exact same thing be applied to mana stealing effects as I have suggested for stamina stealing effects.

7. Mind Wrack – Make this a baseline stun for all Dark Templar’s and move Mind Shatter to the location this feat once occupied. This would be changed to a spell that uses mana, more bellow.

What we do excel at is life leaching and staying alive in PvP, properly specced we can take a while for even a group of players to kill us. With certain specs and gear sets we could be very strong in PvP, but the gear to make the spec work can be difficult to find and I rarely see people in these good specs.

6. Blood Pact – Increase the duration of rank 1 to 8 seconds and rank 2 to 12 seconds.

12. Drain Strength - Move this feat to be a 7th row Desecration feat that has Cabalistic Hunger as its prerequisite.

* My feedback is largely based on level 80 PvP, small group PvP, and raiding and as such my suggestions are all based around level 80. The specifics leading up to that point are up to Funcom. I also want to point out that the actual numbers I am suggesting are based on my opinion and experience, the final numbers should be determined by Funcom. I am merely putting down what I believe would be fair.

10. Covenant of Death – Always provides a 3% life, mana, and stamina tap and has a chance to proc when receiving damage to restore 100 life, stamina, and mana to all of the Dark Templar’s allies.

4. A Soul To Feast On – The Dark Templar sacrifices his life to return the soul of his/hers fallen allies to their bodies. This would basically be a resurrection spell that kills us to revive our team mates in a decently sized area, I suggest it be allowed to be used in combat.

5. Soul Link – The Dark Templar links his soul to those of his age of conan gold allies (group mates). A small portion of damage received by the allies of the Dark Templar will be inflicted on the Dark Templar instead and a small amount of the healing performed on the Dark Templar will be transferred to his allies. This would be a basic group utility spell, something 5-10% each way would do well here. This is a group buff spell.
