With those current 3 shields we have we can be detected in no time during TWs, PK etc...

Something a bit less ovious should be fine like a transparent glowing aura, a small circle or a symbol below us.

    Hi!
    I'm a veno, and i feel that since my character has these big floppy ears and tail, that I am just too easily detectable in a TW! Please change this!

    10chars!
    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    As you can clearly see, I am not actually a veno. I was just pointing out the fact that other classes want things changed too. Nothing will change for them, nor us!

    LOL....first thing they need to do is give us a buff (that can be cast on others and lasts 5 min at least) that actually will be useful for more then just normal attacks.

    The shield showing up isnt as bad as archers with their red hands that u can see from way up in the sky.

    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    you speak as if the giant glowy magic weap doesn't already label us as a squishy class. Chances are, if one sees you with that, and you're male, or don't have a pet running around you, you're bound to be targeted anyway.

    Listen im posting this for the following reasons:

    1st We are squishy.

    2nd We are #1 targets at TWs because they know that if they dont kill us fast we can dramaticly change the TW result by killing a lot of people with a single BOOM b:laugh

    3rd Did I mention we were squishy? b:surrender

    +5 TT90/99 gear sharded w/ immac garnet + Stone Barrier = I dare you to kill me, I mother fuggin dare you! *is hit for 400 by melee attack* WHAT NOW MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA!

    Anyway... Wizards aren't as squishy as you think, once they get end game gear sharded and refined. Also, changing the shields because they make you noticable in TW is pointless, simply because in order to see the shields you have to be able to see the person... so they'd be after you anyway >.>

    If I'm not wearing my shield I make sure to launch fireworks at regular intervals, ride the most colourful mount money can buy and shard my armour with lighthouse lightbulbs. But that's just me.

    Besides without my shields I do get mistaken for a cleric :(

    you're a little...slow.
    Class targeting is working fine now, since the tab-targeting was introduced. Press T, select classes you want to kill mainly, press tab and enjoy.
    Is that hard to figure that by yourself?

    Even if you turn off classes you still tab onto everyone in range. If I deselect everything but psychics (why the hell would i do that? psychics are terribad.) i will still tab onto cleric, venos, barbs, + everyone else.

    And seriously. Why complain about shields when BIDS is like a "COME STUN/KILL ME NOW" sign on your back?

    noob question.
    When we are in fight TW for example. Every1 attack to every1. Suddenly some1 started attack me. How I can switch immediately on him and target him? How I know who attacking me?
    thanks

    Soon as you see something hitting you, hit esc to untarget whatever you have. Soon as you get hit you'll target the person hitting you (same trick as to get the god's eye in RB)

    If you cancel your target your next attacker will get your target.

    But if you are being attacked by a full squad this will be rather useless and even then you would probably be better of running and examining your damage log to find your attacker's name.
