New Schticks for new attacks

klitty

Most of us are familiar with the Schtick Attacks, which are the powers that you should block, get away from the target and run from the boss a little.

But I have notice that Soul Siphon, Devour Essence and many others health draining powers do not have a Schtick for it. And in the middle of the heat of a battle, you cannot see clearly when you are healing the boss and being hated by all the alert.

So I suggest you guys to add a "Foosh", "Slurp!" or something catchy to warn the player to BLOCK IT!

Thanks in advance.

An angry tank.

Especially for DE. It needs something, anything, to tell you to stop mashing that silly break hold button and block!

lmfao slurp. Yeah, I agree. It'd help with people who don't know what those animations look like, so they know that those you REALLY want to block. 99% of my ao' failures are because of this. But, I tend to do these fights in profile so I can see the emanations easier. Truth be told, I probably shouldn't have to change my camera settings just so I don't have to stare at an npc's life bar the whole damn fight.

Totally agree with the idea

Agreed.
And I just learnt that the cone one meant that it's AoE and the circle one meant single target.
You learn something new every day!
(after a couple of years playing the game on and off, you'd think I'd have learnt this the first time going through the tutorial, but apparently I'm a slow learner.)
