Suggestion Scan Skill Revamp!

[EzMac2099]

As it is right now the scan skill is fairly pointless unless you are going to name bind it. This change will give it use.

Skill: Scan
Mana: 10 Mp
Cooldown: 20 Sec
Radius: 25 blocks
Type: Area of affect
Description: you can read information about all enemies (within 25 blocks),
-Name, Class, Health points, Town, Mana

This skill will basically display the info of all entities in the AOE in your chat.

Note* values aren't set in stone

First of all, I like your idea but the cooldown and mana for this skill is way too high for this to be effective.

This could get a little messy if there are more than 2 or 3 people nearby.

I like the idea but maybe leave out the health, mana, and, town to cause less spam if there is more people in the area?

I could just imagine people using this for search for rogues sneakmining :i

Health/Mana information is probably the most useful part of Scan.

We're not interested in a mass-area scan... would be far too messy and isnt what the skill is intended to do.

Seeing over-head health indicators on players would be nifty.

Wrong 10 mana isn't that much and 20-30 second cooldown is perfect

Just look at the dev notes thread where some people tried to reason why shout chat announcing if no one is there was a good idea - and failed.
This would not only do the same, albeit with a smaller radius, but it would also give mass information about anyone around you.
I don't think that with the current precedent on shout chat they could even consider this.
