Doomelves and their first talent
Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2014 10:01 pm
Earlier today I unlocked doomelves and I'm pretty intrigued by their racials, they're a nice rendition of a "Shalore gone bad" and all the talents seem fairly useful (more or less, not a fan of the second one but you can't win 'em all), there's one thing that bugged me tho: Haste of the Doomed.
That skill is a really, really good mobility option that makes the race an instant favorite for classes like, say, Defilers, who sorely lack in mobility (well, Corruptors and Reavers at least) but at the same time its out of phase buffs rely on Willpower, which is something Defilers don't actually need all that much. The counterpart to this talent, Grace of the Eternals, is way more flexible in this regard, being able to scale from either Dexterity or Magic, allowing a lot of classes to make use of it at its full potential. My point is, this talent could really use a similar treatment, like scaling off either Wil or Mag for instance.
(and yes, I realize that Grace relies exclusively on its global speed scaling adequately to be useful while Haste's scaling part is pretty minor, but I still feel this small tweak would make the race a lot more compelling. The third talent actually scales off Mag as far as I can tell, just like Shalore's third)
PS: their racials are not displayed at the top of the generic trees in the level up window btw
