Wizards, priests and staves

if you want to customize staffs the str on shield come back to play, dex and ps on a staff will also let you wear 137+ shoes and if shields have str, wiz and priest will have to choose between ac or speed, thats customizable, also it has the variety you wanted o_o

my inglish is not exacly the best but for what i understand you whant to put str as a requiremet to shields?, personaly i dont think this is a good idea, making shield a bad option for them is not the solution giving staff a use is, olso thieves will have a huge problem is this happends.


about the 137+ shoes, since they dont have mop they wont be running like thieves, aside of that if they are going to focus on combat is not that crazy to make them go a bit faster.

a wizard with 137 shoes and haste runs faster than a d1 thief with d1 shoes

a wizard with archmage shoes run a little slower than a thief with d1 shoes

also i dont like the str on shield idea either lol i was just saying

wiz with archmage shoe have 20 k hp

wiz with 137 shoe have 16k hp

why not boost the staffs a little? more attack power and some defence maybe? or a bonus to spell dmg or something...


or if it is possible maybe change the walk speed of mage/priest with shield so they walk slowly if they were using a staff (staff walk normal / shield + weapon walk slower)

Staft should really be improved, staff are the most useless weapon on dr, there are very little situations where a priest/wiz would prefer use staff insted of shields.
incrase of dmg/ac is a good idea, also giving some skills to lvl up ttcs (only splash would be fine already).
giving some kind of bonus also could help.

str on shield i think could cause some big problems, thief could become archer with less dmg, also wiz dont have any points to spare until + - D3(cant make wiz chose spell or ac, they already have low life, with low ac its just a piece o paper), priest also would have some problems.
shields are fine the way they are, i only think that dual shields should be only for warriors.

we should focus on making staffs better then making shields worst

shields are fine how they are, just staves need some love

w/ staff = 100% magic dmg
w/o staff(w/ shield) = 75%

like warrior, have shield - lower dmg, no shield - 2h wep = higher dmg

p.s. if 100 and 75 aint working, then could 105 and 80...

the idea is to buff staff not to nerf the only decent build priest/wiz have.


buffing spell damage isnt either a good option, wiz already hit hard to give them more firepower.

staffs are not that useless, theres different things u can do with a staff then a weapon + shield
staff is weak tho but still nice to use, yea u have lower defence but thats what ac rares are for.
Theres times when staff is better and a lot of times when shield is, some people wont level their whirling to make it more useful

As for changing it i dont know if giving a spell damage difference for shield and staff is that great of an idea, its already tradeing melee damage for melee defence
Doesnt matter much to me tho cause if i pay a spell casting class ill level the spell tt the staff tt and the main weapon with shield tt so doesnt change what id do
