Enchanter Familiars (in General)

Thats what this game needs...

one that casts AMF and one that casts DM
Giant Strength might be viable again
or Ethereal chains


comments?

I think this would be interesting.

It actually doesn't seem like a bad idea to me. Right now, the front minion is often just a DM meatshield anyway.

Tattoo Blender?

Really nov, this would cause tattoo, let's be real for a second.

sorry, tattoo blender*

Not that this would be cost effective or that anyone would even do it...
But, hmm, I think I want to beat up (insert random character name that you can't usually beat..here) today. Hmm, but I'd have to change my strat...(click click click / changing familiar) ok... there, (beating of said above mentioned opponent) that's better.

As is, in order to change up Enchantments, you'd have to suffer a good xp loss usually (if your strat is well set in stone.. or steel or fire.. oh you get it) but in this case that would be easily changed.

You can do that right now j'bob; There would be no change. Just more options.

these tats would be unchangeable you have to grow a new one everytime you would like to change your strat, i think it would start more people doing NCBs and would help the game advance

I don't really like that part tal.

"You can do that right now j'bob; "

You can change EO's and ED's without penalty right now?

No but you can change your strat with a simple change from one tat to another to beat someone else. Having trouble with a character with DBs, get a SF instead of a HAL.

so what if we had GS/EC familiars but only as lessers, that way you it would deter some from switching a 6mil lvl tattoo jsut for a strat change but this way it could never go back as a regular tattoo. that would inherritantly promote ncb usage

Right, Art, I understand that.. .I was just talking about the Enchantments. okies.

Sounds pretty redundant

too many familiars. Don't lke it.

There is really no reason why we need an ED casting familiar with RoS existing. And EO familiar has potential to become too powerful. A least with DDs and tank familiars the name of the game is to keep the familiar alive so they can be worthwhile.

Enchanter familiars have potential to give wayyyy too many levels and strategic potential. And if they don't, they are filling up a niche that other tattoos already fill.

We are already playing Familiar Blender. I'd like to see a new trend.

DD,

We are well past the point where CB is familiar blender.

They have too much concentrated xp, it is hard to keep up with minions.

Now minions are mostly support for familiars.

Unless we get a familiar only rescale across the board, it cannot change.

I completely agree with DD & Ranger, but remember, with the N*B, minions are disposable, but familiars aren't. When I finish my NUB, I can use my familiar in a NCB. If there is a tat Nerf, there also needs to be a rolling bonus.

See how stealthily I hijacked the thread? That's called skill. Take notes.

Tal Destra ftw w/e t3h ideasz
