Re: Idols and ancient idols
#111And another thing these are lvl 190+ toons dying against lvl 170 mobs and having idol timers... I can't even imagine lower leveled toons problems
Re: Idols and ancient idols

Re: Idols and ancient idols
#113There's this thing called vit. If you have problems with percentage based, just add more vit or get more HP gear, it's that simpleI also have this problem using 5 idols just to reach a boss with my warrior and rogue. And honestly having percent based idols still will not help that much. 50 percent of my rogues 4k hp is 2k that is 2 blasts from bolgs, where bolgs use there best skill immediately whenever u pass them... There will need to be more then another idol tweak to stop this problem if your doing only percentage based. And wulver u said ancient idols would be more suited for melee classes. Where in plat shop can I buy them? Oh yea I cant... As an active player with little funds I've gone through all of mine already and am digging myself into a hole just trying to get to a boss.. might I suggest health idols that restore full hp and 50 percent energy, then also idols for casters that give 50 percent hp and full energy. Again dying with 4k hp then using idol to get 2k hp will not help this idol problem. Mobs need to be revamped if this is your desired path.
Re: Idols and ancient idols
#114That's because they aggro 3-4 at a time and all spellcasters too so they can strike at a distance, and hit you at least once even if you're already out of range. It's all too easy to ignore the source of the problem and blame idols for it.And another thing these are lvl 190+ toons dying against lvl 170 mobs and having idol timers...
Re: Idols and ancient idols
#115and if you accidentally aggro 4-5 bolgs while leveling?Sorry, but imo, that's the penalty of dying. If you have 5 lixes on you and you still die to a bolg, you need to evaluate if you're in the right spot. They're not that close apart to gang up on you. In all likelihood, he aggroed 3-4 running past them and that's not the norm when leveling.^^This! now imagine if you were leveling and had 5 lixes active on you. Imagine how much time you just wasted. I'm glad that OTM is going to make the idols percentage based from here on. It makes me happy to know that they are listening to us about this!
Re: Idols and ancient idols
#116It is not as simple as raising your vit... Is every toon expected to be full vit builds? The impression I get is rogues are meant to be for dps what good is a rogue with 8k hp in a fight for lock? Or am j meant to rebirth to travel to boss then rebirth to dps build to lock the boss then rebirth to travel again? Even my lvl 197 warrior has issues with my 6k hp in dps build....

Theres this thing called rival clan competition. You cant afford to have a high hp and lower damage build if you want to win lock. So everyone makes a very high dmg build with very low hp, and as a result they cant survive going to places.
But im not against % based idols.

Re: Idols and ancient idols
#118I'm saying there are multiple problems and idols are just one of them. Another being bolgs shouldn't cast there best dmg skill as there first hit every time.
Re: Idols and ancient idols
#119Then you pay for it by ressing at a leystone. I don't see why it has to be "business as usual" if you make a mistake and die carelessly in a bad spot. Death needs to mean something.and if you accidentally aggro 4-5 bolgs while leveling?Sorry, but imo, that's the penalty of dying.

Do you really aggro 4-5 bolgs along the path to Snorri while leveling? Doubt it.
Re: Idols and ancient idols
#120And if your not lvling you will aggro every mob unless your using invisible pots every time. How many bolgs are on that path? 30? 30 times at minimum 250 dmg per skill hit by each one.. Max is like 1.5k ish how much hp is required then to arrive at a boss without idoling?
