I like good old staff's 2 handed

I do not like gloves

But i would a choice would be the best idea.

[cryss]

I also like my gloves. Especially the funky highqual ones *g*

Personally I love the gloves, but I guess a choice would be cool too

Could we have a magic teapot?

I like the amps, much cooler than the old staves looked.

However, I agree a choice would be nice. Being able to amplify magic with EITHER staves or amps would be good. Would also keep both the pro and con amps camps happy!

Personally, I'd like to see better damage/hit rate on gloves. Being able to fight effectively with a mage character would be great.

Even better if I could dual-wield these items; maybe have a glove/staff in the main hand, and a dagger in the off hand, or something like that.

Additionally, I'd really like to be able to use afflictive magic in melee. As it is now, if I cast a blind on something (or fear or whatever), the link is broken as soon as I attack. Not sure I see the point of this; I mean, if I can use elemental and healing magics without any problems, why shouldn't I be able to use buffs and debuffs as well?

build a bridge

Lets a least have a choice and you can pick the style you like best!.

I am sure Ryzom devs have got something planned for this (I hope),we have just gotta wait..But Agree we need a choice.

[grimjim]

Why have the same old rubbish that every generic fantasy game has?

Can't we do better than that?

Gloves was an interesting twist, some other outlandish ideas would be preferable to staves and staffs.

Hmm, although I see where you're coming from with this, you're basically trying to build an uber-char, and the game won't let you do that

If all fighters used affliction magic, they wouldn't really be fighters Plus, you're saying your fighter (who is also a mage) should be able to concentrate on spells whilst swinging a weapon - you can't do this to the fight system, it'll be damn unbalanced if you do. The idea with affliction/damage over time spells is that you can use the spell for a time, but only if you concentrate fully on the cast. Anything less would be inviting uber-ness

Also I don't see your point with healing and elemental magic - how you do mean you can use them without problems? Those spells aren't linked at all, they don't do damage/repair damage over time, so how are they connected to time-based spells being broken by other actions? You can't attack whilst healing - you heal, then attack, then heal, then attack - it's just an unconnected sequence?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not shooting you down - you just need to know that your request is basically a request for uber-solo-abilities, and it aint gonna happen for several good reasons
