Suggestion Plague Bomb

[hjhjhjj4]

Something that could be done is possibly raising the mana cost on plaguebomb. Right now it is 15 and a maxed beguiler has 206. If it were to be moved to 30 mana per plaguebomb, trust me, less of those bitches would be flying.

A skill that cant really target people isn't really "spam-able" its a sheep that can only hit targets that are standing still. If you run the moment it says "so and so has use PlagueBomb" and they don't inhibit your movement you'll be fine .I'd say its cd is whatever piggy is considering it only makes sense to use pb in a 1v1 with piggify. "Unless the person the PvP's while standing still.

Nah, it has a pretty big radius.

beguiler just has too much to offer imo..
AoE harmtouch is a beautiful way to say it, Cause that's pretty much what it is.

I agree plaguebomb is a bit too strong atm, I agree with all the lengthening cooldown suggestions. I think it would make a difference if it was a 12 second cooldown instead of 10, I know 2 seconds may not seem like much, but It can mean a world of a difference.

although... they did (hopefully) work to master beguiler, so they should have some sort of strong skill. at lower levels, beguiler is sort of crap, or at least until lv 30 when they start getting decent CC's...

another possible solution is make the explosion like a creeper is supposed to, decreases with range, so at the 5 block max range, it would only deal 100 or so.

harmtouch has to be the most pointless skill in the game

try playing beguiler, dealing with 55 levels of only fireball and pulse to damage enemies. I'm fine with changes to plaguebomb if beguiler could get another damage dealing skill. Wizards and Pyros have 6, beguiler has 3.. one of them happens to be good.

Well beguilers are a support class, so of course they are not going to have as many damage skills as other classes.

I actually went beguiler before I was pyro, I absolutely HATED it... only fireball, piggify, and pulse... worked well with the DoD's, but since there are hardly anymore of those around, low level beguilers are shit. at lv 55 however, they get a skill that makes them strong as heck if played right, but then again, all classes can be strong if played right at max level. so again with my suggestion, just make it a small change if there's going to be one. a change that makes everyone happy while at the same time, beguilers can still have a chance at 1v1's.

EDIT: sorry! forgot to metion I only got to level 31 beguiler before I switched.

Then why are Bards and Clerics so powerful, even with being a support?

What is your definition of powerful?

I'd argue Bard and Cleric "power" comes from their support abilities. Clerics are great healers and durable enough to last in a fight so they can keep healing. Bards give run speed and two of our AOEs help lock enemies down (1 has a root, 1 has a silence). Neither Clerics nor Bards are mega damage dealers like Beguilers are with Plaguebomb.

Honestly, the only thing that can be done to Beguilers without devastating them would be removing the silence on Piggify. I feel like they need another damage spell, however it isn't my position to do so. Adding another spell would allow other spells to be lowered to compensate.

I agree, an addition of another skill would also help fill the massive gap between level 1 and 55.

Icebolt ;D

 

[teddytazer]

Explosive Fireball?

 

[PhantomWarriorA]

Explosive Fireball?

I think that would be more overpowered then plaguebomb.

 

[teddytazer]

How bout Suicide Attack, Beguiler activates skill and explodes like a creeper.

 

[hjhjhjj4]

Or what about a skill like... Carrot Swap. Its pretty much just a disarm, but instead, temporarily places a carrot in their hand.
