Why stat driven skills are good for twinks

[Staffed]

I think that this will be good for twinking. There definetly will be some testing that has to been done but after a while it will be better. The int bears probably will be over thrown by the str bears. I think it will just be fun to test the new update.

int bears are so powerful for twinking. i hope the up-coming update balances the races.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking... But I hope it just doesn't switch around for str bear

I deleted my int bear.. it will.. trust me

Err, not to throw a spanner in the works but nobody knows how much stat-driven skills will affect anything yet.

So why don't you wait and see how it changes for varying builds at different levels before making assumptions.

Based on the what I know now, which of course can and will change when they tweak it, the plan is to up the active skills and leave passive skills alone. Essentially increasing the offense side (stomp, firestorm, blast) which will make defense a pain since those skills ( evades, iron bloods, debuffs) are currently not planned to improve. Seems like a this is going to take some of the strategy out at first as people will just be booming, especially as twinks who have to be very selective in their skill choice.

Well we shall see I just think it's good that we can get something new to try out.

Sorry, my previous post was actually a bit rude, it wasn't intended.

I agree it should be good for twinks, it's intended to fix the imbalance present between the classes, so it should be good for combat at any level.

Is it a definite they're leaving the passive skills untouched (by passive I assume you mean buffs)? I would hope it modified skills as required, restricting it to attacks just gives less aspects to throw in to the balance.
