Which did you prefer? The old blood mages with berzerker or the new blood mages with bludgeon?



liy010 -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/19/2012 22:25:29)

Obviously the one with Berzerker.
With Berzerker, you could deal Damage in both types, unlike Bludgeon which is locked to Physical.
The reason it got changed was because it was overpowered.
No matter how many people prefer it over the new one, it isn't getting changed, just like how TLM isn't getting Smoke back or how Tech Mages aren't getting their Plasma Rain back with Tech.



AQWPlayer -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/19/2012 22:27:55)

I prefer the underpowered BM...but that's the past now.

^There was a time when BM was underpowered? [8D]



Lord Nub -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/19/2012 22:45:20)

I prefer the age of creativity. Seems we either make a strength build and take quick wins and losses or go tank and take slow wins and slow losses.

With all these strength and defense builds I really don't see why they can not improve the rate at which skills consuming energy increase such as multis and grenades.

What about support? Its been gone for far too long now. This new mutating infernal weapon was a little bit of a start to get support builds back but its still mainly for str builds once again. We really need medic to adjust with support again so there is something else to go with than just str.

Yes, when tact mercs still had smokescreen. At the same time, the formula for % of increased damage skills was different compared to what it is now.



Nexus... -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/20/2012 0:59:50)

I class change in order to play the "underpowered" class, and there was a good 6-7 months where you would not see a Blood Mage for 50 battles. If you did, he didn't have fireball, thats for sure. Blood Mage used to be my favorite class. It was hard to find a build that work, and I enjoyed taking the time to make one that did. My signature is still from when Blood Mage was underpowered and underused, I have just been to lazy to change it.

Kd -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/20/2012 1:07:06)

i agree with lord nub about support needing to improve the heal again.



Blaze The Aion Ender -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/20/2012 1:34:23)

I like it now, because I hadn't been high enough level on any of my accounts to start seeing bloodmages, and this account has only seen one version.



Dr.Feelgood -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/20/2012 9:10:24)

Old with berz and when Super Charge was based on Dex [8D]



ScarletReaper -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/20/2012 10:08:50)

I always used tech abuse build when I was a bloodmage. By far my fav build. Max plasma cannon, high level SC and max bloodlust. Worked pretty good for me. :D



kittycat -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/20/2012 10:27:13)

I used a Tech build. It gets owned by Str BMs, but it does work well.



Midnightsoul -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/20/2012 11:13:06)

BM was underpowered before
Here's its oldest skill tree

field medic-fireball-technician
plasma cannon-bloodlust-plasma rain
berzerker-intimidate-overload
assimilation-supercharge-deadly aim



rej -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/20/2012 14:40:34)

I prefer the new BM class. It is still overcharged, but at least it is a slight improvement.



Commander X -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/23/2012 9:06:17)

What if they change bludgeon into a debuff skill?



Ranloth -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/23/2012 9:20:19)

There is already one called Intimidate. Give 'em Smoke or Malf and you've just killed balance completely. :) (BL + Smoke/Malf + DA + Fireball)



Oba -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/23/2012 10:38:03)

Truth be told, I dislike both "versions". The BM class ruined the little balance we once had...



doomturtle -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/23/2012 10:42:57)

Make fireball increase with support. That is how you balance blood mages



sha 2nd mage -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/23/2012 10:52:26)

@Bjcr8969 will u play ED being BM if fireball increasess with support ?
i doubt


All the class are OP in 1 or other ways, look at Ch with plasma armor and static +emp



Darkwing -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/23/2012 13:34:14)

BM with bludgeon is fine. The only problem is dex and strength, strength needs a nerf. About dex... I never block a BM, even if I have much more dex then any STR BM out there...but they block me very often.



Midnightsoul -> RE: Old BM vs New BM (7/23/2012 15:32:50)

Guys, we're talking about a comparison, not a balance discussion...I don't want this thread locked for being off-topic.. :(
