>> Hero's Mourning <<

Many of us Enforcers are shy and do not dare to propose new ideas for our own profession. We all feel that we are balanced and somehow fear that the Dev Team starts to tweak the fragile settings of our skills.

Still, an idea surfaced this morning with the conjunction of the future new Crat nano (saving XP a few sec before a death) and the fact that when the fight is really too though and the main tank dies, the whole party is pretty often wiped out.

The idea would be this Enforcer nano :

Hero's Mourning
Cast. time : 1 sec
Recast time : 45 min
Duration : 15 sec
Nano cost : 10
NCU : 10
Description : As a last hope to his party the Enforcer just before dying can cast this nano. The evil foe that is killing him will then go on attacking his dead remains for 15 sec, obvious to anything else.

As to be perfectly clear the nano once cast will be active for 15 sec and if the death occurs within this 15 sec, the mob will attack the Enforcer's remains for 15 full sec. Just enough for the party to run away, equip a plane or try to land the final blows.

Nice idea. Next time don't write every word on a new line, ok ? AO itself is bad enough with it's nano descriptions ;)

Great Idea!

Great idea! The "Hero's Mourning" would be an excellent addition to the AO system.

Now, knowing Bugcom, the developer reading this will create code that makes the mob which killed the enforcer invicible and three times tougher for 15 seconds so it can quickly wipe out the party.

I have grown to the point to where I am terrified to suggest anything to the retarded development and QA crew at Bugcom. You were probably right with your initial impression (to leave the Enforcer class alone). If Bugcom finds out that your class is fun to play is is balanced some moron with throw the nerf at you and pretty soon you'll be just like the rest of us.

Great thinking on the nano though. Bugcom if you read the excellent idea for the "Hero's Mourning" nano, please hire a third party consultant to decipher it's 'cryptic' meaning for you. I would hate for you to mess up ANOTHER great idea and add it to your already decaying system.

Hmm I wonder how many tips I could get in the last few seconds... "Casting Hero's Mourning for tips!!".

:)

Not a bad idea though.

Really... If I see any additions to the Enforcer Prof before the problems of other profs are even adressed - the I am somewhat upset...

Come on, I've done all the work.
We can forget any special Fx on that nano too. No problemo.

And you cannot say that it's a selfish addition to the Enforcer profession : we won't be able to take any advantage on this one, but YOU WILL.

(is it sold yet ? :D)

actually enforcers havent had any tweak done to them in a long time if you think about it. I'm seeing Mp's/ burecrats thats are using atrox hammer duelers. and yet they have pets too.

We're not unique in our own way... well i guess you can call us a "essence dispenser" as iceman once said.

There are already a few XP saving nanos and stuff in the game, the new crat one is being added soon i believe, and then there is the fixer evac nanos. Since most teams have an enforcer or two anyway, and since Fixers are nearly useless ;) giving the enforcer this, could potentially push other people out of the group. Just a thought.

Isn't this why we don't get what we want?

I think you have to state that you give full rights of your idea to Funcom (I'm guessing that's why they don't use anyones ideas and thats why they distort the other ones). Yes this idea is copyrighted by law (even the birthday song is copyrighted).

I can do that (no not the birthday song). They will have to dress up my forum avatar though.
