Priest/scout Iceblade

Title:Iceblades

Description:the 3 second cooldown on the skill basicly killed the class, it was the only skill that put P/S on par with other classes to be able to quest. This skill has been killed because rogues mainly, but other classes too were getting killed in siege. It didn't bother anyone in PvE whatsoever but for one hour a day they got the class destroyed.

It has been discussed a lot here that a mana or focus cost would make the skill, still usable for PvE at least, tyvm Grimthar.

Not a bug, just a senseless Zidlef QQ as usual.

Personally I think it should be closed as it is not a bug, it was intended to be made this way, as the patch notes said when the 3 second cool-down was implemented. Seems like this is just a thread to get his post count up....

And many more...

Just stop with your one hour a day nonsense. It has been said time and time again, that one hour a day is the reason this game still has over 50% of its players. So I'm sorry if it affects you this badly, but yes, siege war does need to thought of with these decisions. Like I said before, I'm not against them re-instating a no cd iceblade, if it had a focus cost. However your argument you always use against siege war is so invalid yet seems to be your main thesis on every thread.

If you are offended or disturbed by my opinion and views on this issue, look over there shinny things. Unless if we are not those 7 people who always try to derail threads are the only one who are allowed to be posting on these forums?

If you cannot respect my opinions and vues, stop reading my posts.

TYVM and have a nice day

Why is this once again useless thread on 'Bug Reports,' this is not a bug, it is purposely done with all intention of giving P/S a lower advantage than what they had. It is perfectly possible for a priest/anything to quest with PvE Mage gear with the skills it is given, plus the Ice Blade that only has a 3 second cooldown. I wish my Earth Groaning Wind Blade had a 3 second cooldown instead of 6.. Please, stop with the nonsense, we are all tired of it and seeing these posts again and again is extremely annoying. Though I think the use of Focus for Ice Blade would be a good fix, we all know the chance of something like that happening. Plus it would have to use a high amount of focus just so it isn't still constantly spammable in PvP.

As RTP said, the reason the game still has over 50% of its players is because of that one hour a day of siege, whether you like it or not, that's why most people play. Use Rising Tide if you want to quest so badly, it seems to work for 90% of the priests that I know...

Fail thread is fail.

I never try and derail a valid thread, and I do respect your opinions and views. What I'm not a fan of is how often and repetitively you try and force your views on the game and its community, we all have a say too you know? And my main point was that; in this case, it has been proven time and time again, that your main argument in this endeavor, is flawed. It's constructive criticism, but take it as you will.

a 3 second cooldown killed the class?

L2play. Rising Tide, Ice Blade, RT, IB, RT, IB. Done. Dead. You might even get two rising tides in between IC's considering the cast time is only 2 seconds - a curse rune.

Or are you're saying you can't skill stuff because you can't spam one skill on mobs? If that's the case I'm sorry, the class is not broken. Get some skill.

agreed, this skill is now "balanced" i think adding a focus cost onto it would also solve alot of issues for healer in pve content when questing for example so if i had a choice i would strongly suggest that, the same method could also be applied to knight/scout holy chains.

although Ice Blade is not broken and it's perfectly useful as is... Focus cost would mean P/S's get to spam it a few times but not indefinitely.

And yeah, K/S Holy Chains Focus cost would solve the issue on how OP that skill is. So dumb, surprised they haven't done anything about it.

i will keep an eye on this thread, last warning no flaming and stay on topic.

All of us here that have discussed this know full well that, like it or not, a good majority of the class balancing is done based around PvP data. It's been like that for as long as this game has been out.

I fully agree and support the balancing done to P/S. Iceblade needed a cooldown and got exactly what it needed. It's been fixed for a long time now and I don't see the (very necessary I might add) fix made to it changing anytime soon, if ever.


I also agree this thread should just be closed. This topic has been started several times in the last couple months by the same poster, and quite frankly it's borderline spam, as it keeps being brought up over and over by the same person in every possible section of the forums that seem feasible to the OP. Each time the community majority voices their opinions against Iceblade changing to anything other than what it is right now. We all like the change to P/S, and we don't want it any other way. We've also all voiced that we're tired of these threads.

Lastly, I think everyone will agree with me here (and without saying what I would like to say, and just keeping it to what needs to be said): respect is a two way street.

-edit-

I feel the same way Mongo.

if you are going to keep the thread open why not move it since it's not a bug and was done on purpose. This has been beat to death with a stick. keep bug report threads to actual bug reports maybe?

do i think it should of been given a a cd? no.
do i think it should of had an adjustment? yes.
Could all classes use an adjustment to make things more fair? yes
Could we stop with the stupid redundant threads? yes
would it of been nice for this thread to remained close? ... yes...

If you really have the urge to discuss balancing of the skill Iceblade do not do so in the bug section.
Personal balance perceptions are NOT BUGS.

I agree this should never have been in the bug reports.

The strange thing is, I keep hearing in these threads how well-off P/S is. I start looking around for this op creature, and for some reason I can't find any. I look at the players who are saying how well-off P/S is and for some reason, they never change their classes to become one. Maybe it's a simple refusal to switch to this now op class combo, but yet, they somehow seem to be able to switch to other class combos. It's bewildering. :)

My simple solution. Let's give everyone the approximate current killing effectiveness of P/S in SW so everyone can bask in the glorious radiance of it's power. :) Priest/scouts can't complain, because how could you if everyone was 'raised' to their power level. The people who constantly claim how well-off p/s is can't complain, because they keep telling us how well-off it is. Everyone is happy. :)
