Runes of Magic US / AU

I think its about time that all classes receive a few new skills each... not set skills... not elites... just regular skills.

Having the same skills for a class for so long is tiring already, how about adding more skills when reaching certain levels suchs as how it is when first starting to level.

Since level cap is already 82 how about adding a new skill to unlock when players reach 85 and then a new skill each level cap after that.

Mix it up a bit cuz doing the same thing every fight is boring as hell.

And to other players... how about it? Yes or no? And why?

the responses are appreciated, even the retarded ones from the select few people somewhere above(hint, hint, wiffo).

As Mrpushpop stated, i could reroll toons to any magic based dps class and just pk trade my gear in a matter of minutes, however, thats not the case on pve servers.

i wouldnt tell anyone to reroll to a new toon though just because if it doesnt support your gear from your current toon then you would have to spend even more money on failed plussing and more tiering (i wouldnt wish that on my worst enemies). now if they removed plussing and made gear a maxed tier based on level and rarity (meaning no more plussing EVER) then i would fully support that. we all know it will never happen though.

so i look to skills for more variety in my game play, many skills could be adopted from other games and slightly reworked to be useful in this game somehow, doesnt have to be a dps skill, could be something passive or something to speed things up slightly, such as the following example...

Add a Endurance bar to the game -- and give it a special usage

---------------------------------------
MAGE.. (or any other caster including healers)

Teleport - quick action skill - uses 50% endurance
--Press "Shift" while moving or attempting to move in any direction to teleport 50-100 feet in that direction regardless of stuns or roots
-------------------------------------
ROGUE..

Roll - quick action skill - uses 50% endurance
--Press "Shift" while moving or attempting to move in any direction to Roll 10-15 feet in that direction and increase dodge to 100% for 3 seconds (works while in hide)
--------------------------------------
Knight.. (or any other tank)

Stomp - quick action skill - uses 50% endurance
--Press "Shift" while moving or attempting to move, knocks down AND stun all nearby enemies in a fan shaped radius in that direction for 3 seconds
--------------------------------------

each main class could have its own and of course it would not require talent points or any modifications to gear for endurance, as the bar would just cap out at 100 points and recharge at 5 points per second both in and out of combat, and the skills would just use a percentage of that 100 points so that it cant be abused or spammed forever without end

this thread wasnt inspired by pve or pvp, its just a general idea i came up with at work to add more variety to each class, any idea thought of should be considered for both pve and pvp content, if it doesnt benefit both types of content then it doesnt benefit players at all.

sometimes change can be a good thing, and dont worry about older things being fixed first, time has shown its not something that will get done in a timely manner

and in response to cike, i see your point about watching too many bars for skills, how about something like an extra static icon with the skills picture somewhere on the screen, not clickable but just there so when you use your special action it activates something like a 5-10 cooldown, every class would have to have the exact same cooldown on the special skill so no skill can be fired faster and more often than another.

so far the game has many types of skills... general/secondary/combo/elite/set... adding 1 more skill activated by a certain keypress for each class wouldnt be hard, and it wouldnt need to be in the skill page tabs cuz it would have its own on-screen UI icon that can be moved around the screen to where you want it, all the icon would be is a clear countdown timer til you can activate that single skill again

also shouldnt be affected by global cooldown either, just the 5-10 second cooldown

again.. not a tp based skill, can not be leveled either, just a class specific special ability that you get from that class even at level one
