Let us use a different word other than 'tier'. WAR flashback.

Seems all they are doing is making 5 or 9 different tiers of RA's.. and of course this will require some minor adjustments of many of the RA's. I don't think this means a major RA revamp though, probably all of the ones we have now will still be there, act almost the same, and there won't be any new ones, except RR 5's. I'd love to see a major RA revamp though.



and will be more expensive....

Major RA revamp that will give more options... that's what I've been looking for. Nice!

That may be what you're looking for but I don't that's what you'll find...

I think it'll be more significant than you think. For instance, right now if you want to get, say, Aug Dex 4 on a druid that's 20 points. But suppose instead you could spend 15 points and get dex that is more than the current Aug Dex 3 but less than the current Aug Dex 4 plus you'd have 5 points left over. If they do something similar with active abilities, then you could also spend, say, 20 points on MOC to get an ability that's better than the current MOC 2 but less than the current MOC 3 saving another 10 points. With those extra points, you could then get a higher value of DI or PR or more passives. This would allow you to have an effective set of active and passive RAs at a noticeably lower RR. And at higher RRs you would be able to have a more diverse set of abilities.

So if that's true you'd need 48 RSP to get the current Aug Dex 5, which costs 34 RSP.


So, as I expected, we're all going to end up with a big fat RA nerf and will lose abilities we currently have, rather than gain them. /fail clap

No, it would mean that if 34 rps would be spent before, for max lvl of augdex, it's still 34 rps for max lvl of augdex.

This.

Its just more increments available,doesn't mean they take more RA points.

Ok, that is acceptable. However, the table above (alleged table) implies otherwise. I just am skeptical they'll get this one right.

As far as RAs go I am more concerned for the RR5s. I hope they make all the RR5s

as useful and as situational as the Reaver, Cleric, Warrior, and Ranger etc. Set

the bar to make them useful. I can just see a load of nerfs ruining classes and

a huge population loss if they don't keep these as useful as at present.


I know they had been working on stealther RR5s and I think each class deserves some

decent RA not crap like the healer or Lock.


I know a lot of people are looking at a nerf for the Theurge RR5. I am not sure a

nerf is good for the game at this point, but I would do some heavy testing with all

my characters either way.

Chanter,healer,skald,thane,assassins,minstrel and hero need a revamp on rank 5.

The others can just use a tweek.
