Advancement of the three heroes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patch: Advancement of the three heroes
In this patch the three heroes become more than they were before. Masters of their respective arts (level 40+) gain the ability to reach new tiers of power
Class Upgrades:
Warrior -> Knight
The knight boasts impressive armour, his high strength and constitution allows him to shrug off blows that would flatten other players. Being a Knight also allows him the exclusive right to bear a shield.
Warrior -> Berserker
The Berserker favours damage as opposed to armour. Berserkers can greatly wound enemies and even stun them with their high damage attacks. The only class in the game allowed to use double handed weapons.
Taoist ->Monk
The Taoist has refined her mental strength to a point of pure clarity. They extend their powers beyond physical limitations through focus of soul. Monks may dual wield weapons.
Taoist ->Necromancer
Necromancers have taken the Taoist studies of death to a new level, becoming corrupted by their studies. They have greater control on minions and know more magical arts then the Monk. May wield plague lanterns.
Mage -> Elementalist
Elementalists draw their strength from the powers of earth fire wind and water. They gain access to a higher tier of large area, high damage spells. They may wield double handed staves.
Mage -> Sorcerer
Sorcerers focus their powers less on extravagant magic and more on subtle spells. Sorcerers maintain a stronger control of the battlefield than Elementalists, though are more vulnerable to ambushes. Sorcerers may wield leashes.
New Items:
Shield-> The shield sits in the torch hand and generally gives a substantial AC boost. Example shields:
Iron Shield
AC 5-10
AMC 5-7
DC 1-3
Level 40
Steel Shield
AC 7-13
AMC 5-8
DC0-4
Level 43
Double Handed Weapons-> Use both weapon and torch hand. Examples:
Great Sword
DC 7-38
Level 40
(NB:- would be kind of rare…but not super rare)
Demon Slayer Sword
DC 10-65
Level45
Dual Weapons:- Two one handed weapons can be wielded in separate hands. Adjustments would have to be made to game so Monks cant dual wield DSS with a muscle ring
A selection of light offhand weapons may be needed,
Plague Lanterns:- These items corrupt everything around them. They look like insense lanterns and are held in the torch hand (though they also act like torches ) Their effects vary depending on the lantern:
Lantern of Shadows Grace
SC 5-5
Level 40
This lantern envelops the surrounding area in darkness. Enemies in this area receive a reduction to their accuracy.
Lantern of Silent Words
AMC 5-6
Level 45
All spells cast in the vicinity of this lantern have a 20% chance of failing.
Lantern of Leeching Touch
DC 5-5
Level 50
All the players attacks (and pets) gain a 15% life steal.
Double Handed Staves:- Not much to say about these. They are like normal staves, but have a higher MC and some have a proc.
Staff of secrets
MC 5-15
Level 40
5% on cast to use no MP
Staff of duality
MC 10-20
Level 45
3% on cast to deal double damage.
Leashes:- The leash allows the Sorcerer to summon a familiar. The familiar will assist the mage in a (traditionally indirect) manner.
Leash of the fountain
MC3-3
Level 40
Summons a mana sprite. This sprite will cast ‘regenerate mana’ on the sorcerer, constantly increasing his mana regen.
Leash of the martyr
MC3-4
Level 45
Summons a spirit that will bear the burden of the attacks made against the sorcerer. Half the damage done to the player will be dealt to the spirit.
Leash of horror
MC 6-6
Level 50
Summons a wailing demon. Enemies near the demon will suffer penalties to their damage output and accuracy.

Level 2 – 30% chance
Level 3 – 45%

The sorcerers understanding of magic is so advanced that he may turn into magic himself. This gives a great boost to AC but reduces AMC to 0.
Level 1 – AC gains 25-25
Level 2 – AC gains 30-30
Level 3 – AC gains 35-35
comments? i know some of the stats and spells and items may be overpowered, but im still <40. The biggest problem i can see with this patch would be that post 40 characters would absolutley trounce pre 40.
ok. soz cause it a long thread..
originally taken from mir2 euro server, i know mental and the team were looking to introduce lvl 45+ professions for the class and thought tis might be worth a look.
