Tao spell idea - weakening field

[Doug]

Dunno if anyone had this idea posted before, as it seems like a fairly obvious suggestion but
Weakening field / cloud - pretty much an exact replica of poison field / cloud, except does red poison, make it like level 39 and semi rare like PC, would help Taos become attractive to other class leveling sessions due to them not really needed these days from high damage, and make them more wanted and useful on hunts,

Or just upgrade mass poison to be able to do red or green

This would be too OP'ed though? Red poison is a game changer imagine in PVP a tao getting an entire group red poisoned instantly then walking into a met strike/FF- CHAOS! And probably why on korean it isn't an option (atleast im not aware it is)


Taos shouldn't be made more desireable. They poison, heal and buff. If classes don't need them its because the bosses are too easy to kill without them & they don't need the buffs/heals/poison when leveling.

Very good points

The game needs more bosses like gatekeeper and demonking etc.. That require a real group hunt feel and a lot of coordination.

Caves become mastered as people's gear gets better and their tactics improve. Soloing colossus, duoing frozen, fox and JD is fun but It isn't what the game is about.

Game needs a level cap say 50 the game then evolves more bosses which will be more of a challenge . Saves dev team chasing their own ass trying to keep up .

Seriously though, who in PVP ever runs into PoisonCloud?
Your lucky to hit one person if you guess where they are running and cast it infront of them.
I guess if they are all walled up / around a boss and you do red poison cloud followed by a met then it could be really deadly but that would require good timing and precision. An assassin if smart enough could just SS out and chase away the wizard/ tao.

I think with good care and attention it could be a nice addition. It's also not a spam spell so if you miss then it's a while before you ca recast.

It only takes one person to do it the crys will start. Preventing this sort of issue is far better than fixing it.

It all boils down to the need of a spell. The OP's needs are not really justifyable as they are looking at an option to add rather than fix. The reason taos are not needed isn't due to mass red poison. Its because nobody needs them all the time & when leveling are a exp bin & not much else the majority of the time. The end game content is becoming too easy with the insane kits & assasins green poison & DPS renders the need for a taos with red poison useless. Not got any figures or facts but i'm gonna guess an assasins poison sword + dps outweighs a taos red & green poison + dps.

Everybody gets a stock of sunnys and pots which is a small fish in ths ocean cost wise, buffs don't protect dura, may help slow it marginally and only saves a few meesely pots.

The care and attention needs to be on the taos future in expansions from now and whether or not they'd be required. Spells or not if they were needed people would use them. This spell imo wouldn't make them any more desireable as it'll save a few seconds at the rate people kill lures and boss wise you'd only poison one target.

You are right except that some bosses are easier here. Fox boss is good example. It's easier to get to and was even easier when you could rt first and there arent enuff mobs in it.
OK seems easier
Players been killin these bosses for years n years at lower n lower levels. Working out tactics for archers was new thats all though.
which is why c10 romped thru everyone and everything before they got fed up n left

Harry has nailed it here, the mechanics of the game/classes don't need to change, just need new content/harder content - that's all.
