Suggestion Layhands

[draconis99]

The spell is wonderful, but I think it would be much nicer if it required 50 mana to cast, but took all the mana instead. As a paladin tanking in MA, I find that I need to taunt quite a bit and then when I need this spell, I am unable to use it because I don't have full 100 mana.

That's the idea. If you could heal to full hearts from half mana, paladins would be way too strong.

 

[Dielan9999]

Perhaps taunt could require 1 mana like Scan does?

 

[spartanman118]

Since layhands fully heals someone I think it should require all mana, it is a last resort skill of coarse.

having done some tanking as a pally i agree with the op. Its not much of a last resort skill because it cant be used as a last resort due to it costing 100 mana. Having it as the op stated would make pally alot more flexible and keep the current drawbacks for using it. Ive only recently become a pally and theres been so many situations where layhands wouldve saved the day if it could be used.

If layhands should be changed then so should harmtouch for dreadknights.

I've been playing a paladin since I started back on the new map. I can't say that I agree with this. Mainly because of the pvp aspect of playing. Paladins simply don't die in most reasonable situations as is. I've tanked and cleared quite a few of the ma's since their release as well. I have had a few shitty moments during the time they took out the reagents for invuln. But for the most part as long as you have a competent group/composition, staying alive in ma's shouldn't be too much of a hassle if any.

You are correct sir. I wrote this post before I had shield. I find that I am indeed able to hold my own, but it would be nice to heal an ally to full mid combat while I may not have full mana.

Layhands is getting some love - but it will now cost 10 stam

 

[spartanman118]

Will harmtouch in turn be tweaked? (sorry i'm not trying to de-rail the conversation)

 

[codyneace]

works for me

 

[Kainzo]

Mana costs will be lowered for layhands but its going to require half stam. and like 20-50 mana. Still better than 100% mana

What if you are under 100% Stam?

It won't take 100% stam, it'll take half stam - stam is like mana, if you dont have enough you cannot use it.

Wouldn't that make it slightly underpowered then? Considering you need to pay attention to both resource bars at once...

Is the cooldown the same?

 

[Kainzo]

Until you've played with the new stam system, check again

Its going to regen that fast in the normal server? (Ranger using Summon Arrows)

The idea I heard is that stamina has a way smaller reserve but regenerates rapidly where as mana has a large reserve that regenerates more slowly.

Rangers are hybrids. Summon Arrow/Ice Arrow/Fire Arrow etc all still operate on the mana system.
