Shattered Kingdoms

Anyways, as noted, newbies playing necromancers will suck harder than newbies playing any other class. It's difficult to get used to.

My proposed change to necromancers (animates only allowed within your own group) would not affect newbies playing the class.

If you need help playing a necro who can get an army ready in 10-15 minutes rather than an hour...just ask me on ym or aim.

Back in the time, I was rather bitter for changes that greatly affected my character.

-Wimping the undead over and over and over again.
-The addition of 'art', making old characters look useless to the newly created.
-Changes to the 'bolt of glory', making it uber etc etc

Reading this thread, I feel extremely lucky that I didn't have to cope with the new 'animate dead'.

Also, the butcher skill wraiths used to have was far too useful, much more than most think. It was one of those little insignificant things that made SK a bit more fun.
Once more: There is no ultimate balance and every such change makes the game less fun.

On the other side, all these prove Delear as an omniscient figure through his book and the prophecies of the necromantic downfall due to the necromancers greed and abuse.

Cheers.-

Yawn, the only reason Delear was even close to decent pking as a necro was permanent mirror image due to immortals wanting to give out cheater items to their faves.

But anyways - Yes, it's always sad to see a class that you loved being overpowered with get wimped.

I've never claimed to be a any kind of a Pker, good or bad. Basically I've always found that part of the game extremely boring and time-wasting...yet necessary to back up your arguments.

As far as the perma image thingie, I'll have to dissapoint you. When preparing for PK I had almost every protective spell on me, through, staves, wands, scrolls, scripts...The hero amulet gave a couple of those for free, not that I wouldn't have them anyway.

Stop QQing about those amulets and get one for yourself if you are worthy of it + quit thinking so highly of yourself and let others do it for you...if, of course, you are worthy of it.
