Savant and Major Mental spells lists!

[Donquix]

In the discussion on the officials about how Savants aren't even on the radar, Estild did list the current working draft of the NAMES of the major mental and savant lists.

Overall, it's true that Savants aren't needed. But in reality, no profession outside of the RPG trinity (Warrior, Cleric, Wizard) are really needed. You can design most, if not all, of the different character build options under those three professions. Regardless of that, most people prefer to hear about a game that has 10 professions instead of 3. Having already designed the Major Mental and Savant spell circles, I am really excited about Savants. However, it's difficult to justify the resource time to development them when there are so many other projects we need to complete (more hunting grounds, Elemental Lore Review, etc). I do think Savants will eventually happen, just not in the near future. I'll leave you with this:

Rubin salt in the wound! Cool to see, regardless.

I see things that could potentially shut down other casters. This makes me wonder, is this going to be like a Monk in reverse?

You mean not broken?

To be seen. I'm referring more to the concept that they'd be magically untouchable while melee is their bane. I hope that's not the case.

This isn't NEARLY as terrible as it sounds. Sitting in guarded stance will be extremely high defense anyways. Pair that with high enchant armor/shield/DB and you're set no matter how shitty the class is. Even at cap fighting shit with 500 AS.

Indeed. Now the REALLY interesting part is if they deliver on these magical shutdown abilities. Mental Nullification sounds particularly vicious in and of itself.

Hey that's not totally fair, they've done a lot of coding for Savants in game. Look:

Only a Cleric, Empath or Savant has the natural ability to gain true benefits from meditating.

You don't just code that in overnight, pal!

Don't forget (hah!) the new spell they made for sorcerers, you know, to pave the way for Savants.

Yeah. Or it sounds like mass dispel version 3.

Maybe they're fucking with everyone and savants will be out next week.





























Maybe not.
