sarcon Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Alright, I am done with the lazy battles. I have been away for so long that I really thought I could just come back and get right back on the horse. Jumping into battles not nearly prepared, wearing magic eq as a melee character (LOL) Just overall not being as strategic as I use to be. There are times when I knew I was going to die yet still tried to stick it out. WTF - I would never do that. I would get my A** out of there and re-group. I also literally forgot what eq to wear too. I had nothing on my Torso for so long because I couldn't remember what I use to wear. I have to admit though.. the lands have changed and I need to adapt. I have never seen so many goodies before and everyone is like family heh. Everyone is going to gear, avalon, Magic, desolate and getting decked out. While I am trying to just go toe to toe with basic wears.. quiet amusing it is. However, I feel that a good amount of people have some decent Evil's on the way and things will work out. I will restore the BALANCE!!! Mahahahah.. I am going to take a little break from my character right now and try something slightly new.. I will still bring him on because he is so much fun.. but I have something new in store. Lets hope it works out! I am sure you all know who my Character is.. if you find yourself fighting someone and killing them a little to easy.. yup that's me! However, I have had some decent battles.

tassinvegeta Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I know exactly what you mean about the lightwalker family part. My last evil was my first character in a long while who couldn't go to gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Nameless Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I would play an evil if evil did not restrict psi's so much lol. Most of my evils are not really evil evils. Just more on the darker side of things. I could never understand why Elves can be psis, drow can't. And squids are the only evil race that can be psionic, and then they can only choose 1 psi path.

Kyzarius Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 It's called balance. I am sure he meant more specifically, not a broad answer that reeally says nothing in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Nameless Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Well I am sure anyone who has played a psi would most likely agree that there is nothing about psi's that would become unbalanced if they where played by an evil. Statistically a drow is an elf. The strongest psis are going to be faeries, gnomes, and squids, which can all already be a psionic. If anything goodie psis have the strongest potential power given the eq they can gather (they are the only align that can get +4 mental level) which in and of itself is a massive bit for a psioni to use in a PK scenario. Even without + spell level psis are terribly powerful if you use the entire skillset and don't try to "hellstream" them to death. Adding evil into the equation would not change this.

jibber Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 The only reason Psi's can't be evil (aside from illitihids) that we've been told, is evils already have too many qraces/qclasses. I'd like to see this restriction removed, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcon Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Ya there are some nasty things that you can be for evil. I remember there was a point when I would fight a PSI and it was insta death. Doesn't matter how decked out I was, how amazing that character was.. literally if I encountered them I was toast. I fought one recently and it wasn't even like fighting the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Drows also have the highest int/wis on the evil side right? And a certain psi spell is highly dependant upon it right? So maybe that's one possible reason drows can't be psis? All this mage talk is making my head hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Nameless Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Squids, faes, and elves, and drow all have the same stat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Nameless Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Undead, Vamp, Demon Sader, Avatar, with Psi for both. Seems like we need an angel qrace . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibber Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Too bad Avatar pretty much is an angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Nameless Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Too bad Avatar pretty much is an angel I mean with class restrictions identical to Demons Pally, Cleric, Healer, Warrior, Berserker, Battlemage etc etc. Would be neat since undeads and avatars are able to be all classes Demons and angels balance Saders and vamps (talk about titanic clash of melee ability here) Leaves psis for all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tassinvegeta Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Squids' date=' faes, and elves, and drow all have the same stat [/quote'] Maybe if you're adding them all up together. But the Int/Wis stats differ. In this case we're only looking at the evil side i.e. Squid int/wis stats vs Drow int/wis stats. Unless they're the same?

Mmm Coffee Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Your forgot Lich on the Qclass for evils. I don't think psionics needs to extend to the evil races beyond illithids. If you want heavy PK-ability with your psi, there are cabal options for all aligns that will foster that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Nameless Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 It is no PK ability im after really. I think there is alot of RP for a psi on the dark side. I can play a Jedi, Why can't I play a sith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Nameless Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Also squids, and faes have the same int, drow and elf do as well. Wis is not as much of a factor in how a psi operates as int is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibber Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Illithid have 23 wisdom. Faerie, Elf, and Drow all have 20 wisdom. Illithid have 25 intelligence along with Faerie and Elf. Drow have 24 intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erana Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Maybe tapping psi energy needs a degree of 'inner peace' that evils can't foster. Squids are naturally psionic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erana Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 It was originally intended for goods to have the family effect. That is why they have generally inferior EQ and combo matchups along with their inherent pk/rp restrictions. Evils have more potential and freedom but are supposed to have a hard time gearing and staying alive. It just hasn't really worked out that way very often in the past. I'm very happy that it does now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcon Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I completely understand. There are some amazing pieces of eq for Evils that just makes everything all warm and fuzzy. However as I mentioned when you have a huge influx of goodies it tends to make it a slightly harder obstacle. Especially when a chunk of the neutral's jump aboard and hold hands with them. (ahh so cute.. look at them.. so happy) Obviously the goto is to simply chop of their heads and remove them of thre shiny armorment. However it makes it challenging and I find that much more fun then the easy road. I have always loved being the opposite cabal of one that is dominant. This will get your blood running and bring out the best in you. All I need to do now is not fight Grylok with Titanium Bracer's and Teeth Necklaces *OUCH!!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very happy that it does now. Oh wow. I've been waiting for an answer on the eq disparity between goods and evils for years. It makes total sense. But as you said, its too bad the history of fl always attracted a higher population of evils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Nameless Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I still say they should be allowed to be evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for a decent and lightweight torso piece try the one from your cabal, or the shadow plate (socketable) from the agent in Minoma, or the white gown from Marisa in Everwild (the new emerald forest in case you missed that while you were gone), or the refracted skin from the horror in desolation.
