Yeah, that's probably MoC 2.0. The thread has likely been heavily updated since you last saw it. It does have a cost to it, i accidentally omitted it from the original version.

With maps, that wouldn't be a bad idea but I think it's intend that getting to higher maps is meant to come at a large cost. How about to access maps you have to pay a fee ranging from 1 trans to 5-10 exalts (or whatever, just high). I also like someone else's idea of pressing a button and the map randomly rolling but I think you should be forced to run it or buy a new map.

Ranged/melee, I thought you were going to steal my idea and attempt to improve it. Lazy ass. He's building off an idea I've been kicking around. I really love elementalist node and I think it's shit like it that make templar so versatile. Templar has general nodes that have dual purposes, his tree doesn't really lock you into anything. I've respecced 1 templar 3 times and I've had the same opening area but vastly different builds.

I was thinking that we could do things similar to elementalist in different areas. Rather than having it as a special node let's take some of these lesser used nodes like 8% life nodes (the end, no 18% one at the end) or 4% IAS or weaker weapon IPD damage nodes and make them dual purpose, highlighting something from that class.

For example:
Templar - Elementalist: res/ele damage
Mara - ?: life or DR or armor/IPD or stun or LL
Duelist - ?: life or DR or armor or evasion/IAS or accuracy
Ranger - ?: life or evasion or dodge/projectile damage/IAS or crit multi
Shadow - ?: ES or evasion or dodge or MS/dagger/claw crit/ias or MS
Witch - ?: ES or life/mana, AOE or specific elemental damage

(I'm awful with naming shit)
Basically just have something defensive with something offensive. As there would be many of them, ideally replacing many of the life nodes that already exist, you don't really have to worry so much about not buffing range, as generally melee will make out more in the end (or at least you can make it that way)

My thing with the bandit quests is either it should be treated like another passive point, meaning being allowed to respec them at a cost or it should be as good or better than a noteable passive without being allowed to change. I think it should be 50-60 life, 60-80 mana and 15% AR, then 18% IPD, 15% IAS and 8% FCR. These are things that you can't find many of or at all on the tree. You are giving up a skill point for this, it should be worth much more than what you can get for a good skill point as you are stuck with it for life of the character.

Chaos res is here to stay. They are worried about making changes because it will ruin people's characters. People have mirrored items mainly because of chaos res, the rage that will ensue if they make it a useless affix will not be easy to deal with. I think it will be better for the game over the long term but the short term will create hell for the devs.

Ya, that's all for my nonsense.

You avoided a lawsuit. But deserve a kick in the nuts.

But DR is a restrictive form of defense, also it's a STR speciality. I don't think improving melee means making them all vanilla. A pure evasion melee should work as well as an armor one as well as a CI one.

Hence I hate IR.

Oh, I don't think any class defining shit like solid ranged or melee should dominate opening area. My ideas would be where weapon clusters are and outskit life/armor/evasion/es nodes are. It would be something for mid/late game, not for early. One of my biggest complaints with duelist is you are locked into a certain weapon by level 10 or so while most other classes can just pick whatevers best and adjust.

Also you can throw many %DR nodes around because of end charges. 10% chance to dodge is half of acro and would be insane if there was more than 1 that's not behind acro. It would be the same as throwing some "more % ES" nodes around the tree.
