Casters Getting Love in Age of Conan
Any game that’s called Age of "Conan" is going to be a little slanted towards melee classes (or that’s the perception at least). FunCom is going to be giving a little love to its magic wielding character types in a future update. Here’s what the Demonologist will be getting:
- The duration of Protection of Set will be substantially increased.
- The maximum damage absorbed before Protection of Set fails will be increased to be more in line with damage dealt in leveling scenarios.
- Additional survivability increases are also being evaluated.
- Players will gain a visible debuff to indicate when Protection of Set has run out of absorbable damage.
- The base splash damage dealt by Fires of Gehenna, Hellfire Stream, Shockstrike, and Shock will be substantially increased.
- The amount of damage dealt by most damage sources will be reevaluated.
- The cooldown of Inferno of Ahmner and Shockblast will be reduced to 2.5 seconds to match the casting time of Fires of Gehenna and Shockstrike.
- The Archmage feat will be moved to tier 2 instead of tier 3 in the Mage general tree to make it more easily accessible to varying builds.
- All crowd control will have a significantly reduced chance to break from damage dealt by pets.
- Fiery Torment (Rank 1) will be introduced at level 30 instead of level 45.
- The casting time of certain long-duration buffs will be reduced.
- The run speed of pets will be increased significantly.
- Various bugfixes and alterations to existing feats and abilities; for example, decreasing the casting time of Detonation.
They should ditch the protection of set spell (since it isnt unique) and make it pulsating blade turn.
