Just an idea,

Putting mob resistances aside its currently far more favourable to be a holy tao as your heals are strengthened giving you more group utility.

I was thinking dark taos need a bit of love to offset this, even if its just a side perk.

Ideas are:
Allow tao explosion to tick 20% of its damage over 3 seconds as a burn
Increase poison damage tick by 1 per 10 dark

Something similar could maybe be done for phantom to create it as a third spec up until tao's get their pet explosion, each point of phantom increases your pet dc by 1.

Also is there any way you can remove the exp loss from using hermit, i dont mind spending the gold to respec but the exp loss (even though its not a lot) just puts me off from respeccing other than right after i lvl up.

Just spec phantom and use pet explode, stop thinking so much and coming up with suggestions otherwise this game isn't for you.

Nice positive comment there, please realise its a 3+ week grind to get the pet aswell as a 1-2 week grind to get within the level range and there's still a ton of <50 tao's.

I simply made an observational that heal benefits from holy whereas nothing benefits dark making it much stronger.

To balance this out without making anything OP i feel dark needs a little side perk.

15 Books have dropped.

16 Taoists are high enough to use them, It's just extremely unfortunate that not many have worked.

However with Lair in game and more and more people hunting there, books will soon start to be on the market.

Nice positive comment there

If you looked at my post history you would realize i'm all about trying to suggests Tao's should be more diverse and have way more about them then just explode. Just look at my previous posts and the Zircon management replying and you'd completely understand my reply. Only part of the problem sadly as their are a lot more issues like only a select few caves being useful.

I think dark already increases green tick but i don't know about red. If it does increase red then dark build may be viable but tao explosion is too **** to bother.

i think it sounds like a great idea, but would probably cause way too much unbalance at the moment especially with the current problems with element in PvP as it is. Adding more dc on pet from phantom would totally break exploding pet which already scales with phantom really well

i do think however making dark affect poison tick would be a nice and simple addition definitely not game breaking

i do also have a small feeling that jamie doesnt like ideas that arent his own anyway and even this suggestion forum is one big carrot. no offence jamie

I think the nearly 2 week silence frustrates people the most, there’s been pages and pages of discussion yet no response. Uncertainty will eventually kill off the server.

Everyone needs a break at times, but a post saying I’ll be busy for the next couple of weeks or similar would have had a great impact. Just ignoring everything (or at least the perception that it’s beong ignored) will not build confidence.

I've been lurking for a while, I think the silence is in advance of quite a large patch. Lets see what tonight brings!

I run a business and wouldn't answer half the **** people ask here, some have way too much time on their hands and are extremely critical of a free access game.

Just saying.

I like the idea if you stack dark element your green psn does more damage.

how does the pets work. i know phantom for lvl 50 pet.

but what about shinsu and jin skel, is there any way i can make they do more damage i know i can buff them and straight of faith, but they seem to be still lacking, iv noticed the pet does not level when summoned. what i mean by this is when you have a pet out he gains exp from mobs and at a cretin point he will change colour if i remember right there is 3 or 4 stages the last stage is dark blue

on each level he gets a small amount of ac/mr/dc and he gets HP regain

but when he dies and you summon them again it goes back white again.

Just a idea to help taos until they get a level 50 pet.
