Il n'y a rien d'extraordainaire dans cette affirmation. Comme tu le dis toi mm le theu est le lanceur de sort qui dispose du moins de lignes de sorts. De plus le theu terre est de loin la classe BT la moins fun. Mythic a clairement annoncé son intention de rendre la ligne terre plus attractive, et ils ont déja annoncé, par ex, que le drain mana, le debuff froce/dext et l'insta bt n'etaient pas envisagés.
voici les problemes que le tl du theurg a souleve et la reponse de Mythic :
"EARTH LINE" (pbt spec)
Earth line lacks reason to take the highest levels. 8 and 6 second pbt is lacking in Albion due to this. Power drain of expensive elementals is an issue. Having no earth-line spec dd that benefits by lower damage variance as one specs higher complicates the problem. Most importantly, compare the defense/self-enhancement capabilities of an earth theurgist versus a Suppression Runemaster or PBT Warden... the earth theurgist falls far short. Multiple spells should be added or tweaked to fix this clearly demonstrated gap in earth line.
This line needs help. And we want to try and do what we can to make changes that will result in Albion having more PBT available in general.
Solution: Make the 6 second PBT insta-castable. That rewards theurs who spec high earth (45), and preserves precious power between fights with a simple alteration. There is precedent for this in the warden's instacast PBT.
While this might seem like a good idea, I do not see this alone fixing the problem. There is a real issue here that needs to be addressed and we want to come up with concrete solution for earth line. Not little things and hoping that their sum gain fixes the class. We're still reviewing the Solutions Matrix you sent in, but haven't got deep enough into it yet to say if it's a viable solution or completely off the table. Hope to have feedback on that soon.
Solution: Powertap DD in Earth Line. 159dd maximum delve. Grants a spec line dd, which runemasters have. But instead of giving earth theurs a snare to increase time to inflict supplemental damage like a runemaster, it gives power recovery to make up for power loss from throwing expensive earth elementals as supplemental damage.
A power tap for theurgs isn't the answer.
Solution: Str and Dex Debuffs. The runemaster has these in the pbt specline, to reduce damage done unto them by enemies that reach them. The earth theurgist should receive the STR insta-debuff, at least.
Will this make the line more attractive? Will more people spec to 6 sec PBT if this is added? What value does the Theurgist community place on this addition? We can look into it, but I want to make sure we don't toss a bunch of unuseful things at Theurgs and expect them to fix the class.
Solution: Snare proc/PBAE Snare. I have made suggestions to add a single-hit snare-proc reactive self shield. Or a PB-AE snare. Mirroring but not duplicating the suppression runemaster's DD+snare and DD-AE damage+snare.
We can look into this. Is the intent here to solve the problem of survivabilty or something else?
Overall : I think suggestions are great, but we need to know what specific issue or aspect that suggesting is designed to address, as we will likely have better ways of addressing it. As I mention above, we're reviewing the solution matrix of multiple fixes, which may or may not work as a whole.
Desole pour les anglophobes.
