improve talent category

#1 Post by jinsediaoying »

I noticed that Silence can silence the Warcries, which is totally reasonable.
And I have some advice to make this better:
1. Silence shouldn't affect Second Wind, which based on the describtion is just a deep breath
2. Warshout (Two-Handed Weapons) and Battle Call (Superiority) should affected by Slience instead of Disarm

A good solution to solve the above problems and all other similar problems is improve the talent category system (eg: is a spell, is a mind power)
add 'is a sound' for all those will be affected by Slience
add 'is a movement' for all those will be affected by Pin
add 'is a teleportation' for all those will be affected by the vault
add 'is a weapon technique' for all those will be affected by Disarm
--this category can also use the sub-category instead:'is a dual wield technique','is a two handed technique'...

Not being able to use Warshout when not wielding a twohanded weapon is wierd.
My feedback meter decays into coding. Give me feedback and I make mods.

I think it makes more sense for Warshout to be under warcries instead of Two-Handed Maiming.

Lets not bring "sense" into game mechanics discussion.

Warshout works fine to balance the tree vs. the shield offense. Leave it alone.
<darkgod> all this fine balancing talk is boring
<darkgod> brb buffing boulder throwers

push

also some Prodigies have the similar issue.
such as Windblade does not require dual wield to use
