Improvements To Soul Linkers

[Communism]

I have 2 suggestions to make about soul linkers, both of which concern items which are not currently usable by them. I believe soul linkers should be allowed to use strong shield and also book of the dead(heck, star gladiators can use this one and they're more melee oriented anyways so a less powerful class should be able to use it as well). I simply believe this would add more versatility to the pvp field without seriously unbalancing anything see as how soul linker isn't a class that's played very often anyways. Comments/feedback would be appreciate, and support this if you agree.

Idk. I feel like this is just a way to reflect more damage as a Reflect/Resurrect build lol.

I agree. Though, I don't think BotD would help a lot since its effect's been nerfed.

people say it would make linkers gm powered if they could use esma skills on players, what do u guys think?

[supream]

not just saying their esma skills but eske, if used on other players, would be like edpx3. imagine that on other players.

^ Then we can always disable Eske and still give them the ability to use Esma and what-not. Soul linkers do need some type of boost; there's barely anyone who plays them. Their main use: buff slave.

Yes balance is the key, people only think classes are suppose to do what they're

made for, suprise no one ain't saying anything but yes I agree would be nice to see more of these class played.

[Sorrow]

Sure.

And let them use ES-skills in players too, except Eske. Poor guys receive no love at all; let them be happy :}

This is obviously suggested in order to enhance the reflect capabilities of the Soul Linker class. As of now, I only see two uses for the class: Buff slave and Insta-cast/Reflect.

Giving them Strong Shield and Book of the Dead will not hurt any class balance. So, I agree with this suggestion.

Regardless of whether anyone uses them or not, that shouldn't determine whether this suggestion is valid. As I said, there are probably two builds for them. Who knows, maybe this addition reflect capability will make others play it?

EDIT: Also, sort of relating to the Soul Linker improvement suggestion, Soul Linkers cannot equip the Soul Linker Elite armor. I've checked if it was broken or not and it wasn't. I have 2 Orc Lords in there, so it would be nice if this bug was fixed.

We unfortunately can't edit the skills for SL's at the moment, but we can definitely allow them to use Book of the Dead and Strong Shield. I agree that they need more love! ): Forum~, about your issue, that should be fixed now.
