Only reason Mentalists got it for 'free' is because they don't have the option for speedwarp at all whereas other classes do have the option. So I won't forsee this becoming baseline for any other classes.



Thanes are caster like but can never fill a caster slot in a tank group due to lacking speedwarps. What about that situation?



They can melee.

And mentalists can cast. So whats your point?

When played for pure melee thanes are the worst in the realm.

Their hybrid play style was designed to fit a role that never existed, that of the melee caster hybrid. Which sucks as a caster , and sucks as a mele(low dps, cc vulnerability).

Their only saving grace would be as a support bodyguarding pet clearing caster with slightly longer range than normal. Except they can't fill that caster slot in a tank group because they don't have a speed warp.

Removing speedwarp altogether would make me a lot happier.

Not surprised to see that one of the few people supporting this wholesale is the Hibernian representative.

As someone with a rr7 mentalist that plays almost exclusively smallman and would benefit hugely from this change, wtf is Mythic thinking. Aside from the obvious balance issues and making it baseline, it's just retarded to hand out ml abilities to regular spec lines. You're supposed to choose between what you get. Now they might as well just forget the whole ML line business and let people choose any 10 abilities from any line. It's just stupid. Mentalists don't need speedwarp at all (seriously, warlord on a caster is INSANELY good), but they especially don't need it for free.

I'm fine with them losing stormlord and gaining convoker instead. I'm fine with them getting it baseline too, though I can understand why people are crying about that because other realms don't get ML-related abilities as baseline (boohoo?).

I'm not fine with it being moved into a spec line, because you shouldn't have to make a choice between light spec or mentalism spec in order to gain access to it (lol@mana line, sif that)

Mentalists NEED speedwarp for hibernia group balance. The class not having access to it is absolutely retarded and always has been (and I don't care that druids have access to it, because one cure nearsite in group really isn't viable, nor is speccing 40+ regrowth as a druid).

the problem that i am seeing is that you can now viably run up to 6 heals in the group while retaining dps and high utility. hell you could even run 5 mentalists with some support
