Fellow Furys,
I'm not sure if anyone got the same PM as I did, but Kiara from the official forums asked me if I would help write a new class description for Furys. So below was my initial crack at it and I thought maybe we, as the Fury community could try and come to a concensus on a solid description. Please keep in mind that it can't be long winded. I tried to capture primary stats used and the abilities of the Fury. I tried to stay away from any "lingo" that a new MMOer might not understand (like HoTs and DoTs). Trying to come up with a description that is short and concise while convincing a person that the Fury class is a fun class to play is tough.

I know some of you won't be able to control the urge to make negative comments about our class but let's try to keep this as constructive as possible please.

So...... here was my first attempt off the cuff.

The Fury relies on it's relationship with nature to provide both healing and damage. Using their Wisdom, the Fury provides regenative heals to his group and single target heals when more assistance is needed all while having the ability to cure a variety of ailments. With increased Intelligence, the Fury's spells of Wind, Lightning, Ice and Fire can cause instant destruction or wear down their opponent over time. Additionally, the Fury has a number of spells that enhance the attributes of his group allies. Whether acting as formadable healer or providing additional damage, the Fury is a worthy ally in any group.

So..... anyone else want to edit this or take their own shot at it???

did she not give you any parameters to create the description by? or any specifics on the changes (coming in next GU) that will likely change how a fury will be described?

son of a bitch. we brought up the description on everquest2.com to try to help use as a basis for WHAT the class is SUPPOSED to be (even according to soe themselves). now (since theyre obviously not gonna fix anything), they wanna new descript written. fuck that, like seriously. it was the latest in our ENDLESS line of arguments as to what a fury USED to be, currently is & what we would LIKE it to be again...& theyre cuttin it off at the root. fuck that shit.

imo...leave it how it is & tell soe to fix the damn class to go along with what they described it as originally.

She just gave me a link to the current description and said it needed updated.

AJ.... sorry... didn't know about previous efforts but you bring up a good point. The class needs fixing and they should fix it before we write a new description rather than writing a new one on our broke class.

Guess I'm just a sucker.

Any chance you can point me to that thread on the offical forums? Send me a PM there with the link? I'll throw that back at them and ask them why they want me to write a description on a broke class. Not that I have pull or anything.

I didn't think you were mad at me..... i understand where you are coming from. I actually like the role of negotiator. I'll go back to Kiara and ask her for some insight to what they have planned for Furys in the next xpac as "it would be difficult to write an approptiate description without knowing how they plan to fix or enhance our class"

And I'll point out the threads too!

Pffft we are F U C K E D!

If I could point to one thing that has destroyed furies more than anything else it would be Wardens. They never run out of power and what they offer a grp or raid so far exceeds what a Fury can offer. Fury DPS isn't high enough for us to be real DPSers and healers are a demand class so people want us for that but to fill the role as true healers we need to focus all our efforts on that alone and we still come out as the 6th best (last) healers in the game.

Most guilds given the option choose a Warden over a Fury.

I agree with Arica most wholeheartedly.

"Embodying the primal forces of nature, the Fury is equally capable of both defense and destruction. In addition to regenerative healing, Furies can enhance the physical attributes and mystical might of their allies, making the attacks of their party members even more formidable."

1. our "defensive" abilities suck outside of healing, buffs? WTF are they? Oh ya mean the pathetic mit with pointless health regen? THe craptastical HP buff witht he heat/cold?
2. Regenerative healing? What the 1 group and 1 single target spell we have that is a regen? The rest are direct or delayed. We aren't wardens for christ's sake.
3. Sure we can still enhance the physical attributes, but no one gives a flying fuck, two shits and a fart cause everyone is capped on their stats and we can barely buff 2 peope with INT/Power and only 1 with feral. (WTF couldn't they have made out mythical worthwhile like every other fucking healing class?)
4. Oh boy! A ONE scout in the group gets a 10% increase on their CAs!

How about SOE, instead of dicking with our heals, gives us something that will make us wanted in a raid? Like a better group HP buff, a groupwide proc buff (hell change Fae Fire to proc off both spells and melee), how about making our mythical worth a damned and remove the conc slot on Lucidity (or make it group wide) or make Feral group wide and add a spell damage mod on it for the mage group, how about giving us some fucking useful power regen or reduce the cost of our spells cause without a mythical illy, I am being mana flowed every time its up. How about you give us something that makes us just as desireable as an INQ on a raid, or a TMP, or a Defiler..

Stop DESTROYING the class and MAKE IT WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.
