Necromancer - Drainsoul: Remove or lower the knockback/knockup effect, it seems rather ridiculous to have a mage smacking someone in full armor around like a rag doll

Ranger - Track: Add a req for it(Such as resource needed)

Disciple: Chakra: Restore 3 stamina instead of consuming, Chakra is inner energy and shouldn't tire you mentally and physically, one would think it would restore these.

General: Summoning for classes, Necro with skele/zomb, Ranger with wolf, etc. Functions similar to the farmers summon?

Necromancer- It has a knockup?
Ranger- That "could" work but people have so much stuff it would hardly matter
Disciple- Regardless of the inner energy, Its still a heal in Herocraft, its gonna take something from you
General- Summoning is hard to program ffrom what I heard, as cool as it would be.

Uhm, there has been a couple of summong spells already on HC. SummonWolf in Zeal for Beastmasters and Skeleton for Necromancers, also in Zeal. Skeleton was only used as a mana source (Necros could consume undead creatures for mana back then) and SummonWolf had lots of bugs (At one period, beastmasters ran around with 200 wolves)

Drainsoul - I wasnt aware of any "major" knockback - it would do the basic knockback that any damage would deal
Ttrack - I think a reagent would be nifty tbh - what would it be, saplings? I think a MAP would be too expensive - thoughts?
Chakra - I can see your point in a lore standpoint - i dont think we'll have it restore stamina - but perhaps just not cost any.
Summons - At the moment, we're not going to touch mob AI. I do want summons in though - just need to find someone that knows a lot about AI before we can really "go with it"

Drainsoul - I wasnt aware of any "major" knockback - it would do the basic knockback that any damage would deal - I fought a necro in col duel the other day, after poking me with no results he comes at me in melee, knocking me up and around like he was some barbarian and i was a child. Perhaps it's knock up and not knockback? I just know that i was unable to even touch him with melee because i was constantly getting owned by a skill he told me was drainsoul. While i think mages could use some melee capability, i think going rambo as a necro is a bit much
Ttrack - I think a reagent would be nifty tbh - what would it be, saplings? I think a MAP would be too expensive - thoughts? Perhaps it requires a map but doesnt consume, and uses saplings as a reagent? Sounds pretty nifty and lore friendly.
Chakra - I can see your point in a lore standpoint - i dont think we'll have it restore stamina - but perhaps just not cost any. Yeah, lorewise it would seem like something that restores fatigue, not consumes, but you have to factor balancing in as well. I think no stamina cost sounds pretty good.
Summons - At the moment, we're not going to touch mob AI. I do want summons in though - just need to find someone that knows a lot about AI before we can really "go with it" True, would suck to summon a skeleton that shoots you

Either drainsoul has knockup, or some other necro skill that's available at low level with min-low-no cd, or i met a hacker claiming it was drainsoul D:
As for rangers, track seems rather retarded atm, either have a long cd(like 5m) or make it costly to use, i think it's a little crappy atm.
Chakra uses 3 hunger bars and 15 mana ^_~ perhaps using stamina and not mana or vice versa, but lorewise it makes no sense to use both.
Yeah i have minimal experience in programming, i have no idea how easy or hard this is to program, could be a simple line or a dozen walls of text for all i know

Chakra doesnt have a warm up, doesnt that kind of make up for its somewhat expensive cost?

chakakrararara is disciples best skill imo.
instant debuff from anything + a instant heal.
pls play class b4 you think that unbalancing a skill for lore is a good thing

Track- saplings reagent cost sounds neat or make it so it requires you to have a map equipped to use the spell.
Chakra - Maybe it should increase your stamina regeneration for a few seconds....not much but worth the original cost. Not having a cost would be ....bleh.

How about reducing chakra's heal to 90 and make it gives you 2 stamina bars and 5 mana.
