Default Re: Soul Lancer

On the EQ2 forums they stated that the Soul Lancer wasn't ever meant to be worn by scouts, and that scouts wouldn't be able to upgrade them to a T3 equivalent but would be able to upgrade them to their normal T3 armor (the T3 upgrade from Dauntless for us, whatever it's called).

The "hybrid" gear was meant to be worn by healers that wanted to DPS at a corresponding reduction in healing ability. And I think there's another set that was meant to be worn by tanks that wanted to DPS but it reduced their tanking ability? Not sure, but anyway you get the point, it was supposed to be a trade-off. There's really no tradeoff for scouts, it's just better, so not as intended.

It's not right to offer them an offensive and defensive play styles and giving rouges just one. I posted on the In Testing forum about rogues using the Soul Lancer. We should get to chose to mix and match the different sets if we need to. We all are going to be running around with the same fucking gear on all the time? where is the fun in that - there aint none.

Yeah, we probably should get a defensive option, but soul lancer ain't it. Dauntless and Soul Lancer = offensive and better offensive. Nobody'd take the defensive anyway so we're still going to all be running around in the same gear.

it is too defesnvie, BP has a heal , hat has +defense, shoulders add to spells (which poisons are! you could say it buffs vitality breach or mental breach if you are out of power.) all great options for defense mode. soul lancer has good spot in your bags.

Uh, it also does more DPS, so you're actually shooting your argument in the foot. The hybrid sets are a supposed to be a tradeoff. If in the case of the soul lancer it does more DPS AND more defense then it's just double wrong instead of singly wrong.

I never said it wasn't good, I said the result wasn't as intended, which your post proves even further.

They should fix our skills to be buffed by our combat stats and not spell stats : AND THEN let us use the T3 soul lancer for the heals and such :-D that work for you better?
