I know eq is slated for revision, i was just wondering as there seem to be some major class changes on the way, shuoldnt eq be facing an atleast pseudo revision for certain classes, ie. sohei? Fom what I understand from the boards, they will no longer be a warrior/mage, and as such some eq might no longer be well 'themed' for them, such as stront shields, and some that is currently !sohei might be more inclined to the class. This is just a thought, so feel free to disregard.

I think it was posted somewhere that the general sohei concept was going to migrate to more of a D&D monk-style class.
If that does come to pass, sohei equipment limitations have the potential to absolutely skyrocket.
Why?
Mainly because the typical monk is usually restricted from wearing medium or heavy armor (buh-by do-maru?), or using shields (definite buh-bye to the strontium).
Not to mention that they'd better get some seriously sexy barehand damage modifiers or some sort of extra bonus for using certain simple weapons (dagger, staff, etc.) Granted, again, this style of weapon/class enhancement is already in place with the 'live by the sword' skill that paladins currently exhibit.
Again, these are just my own thoughts, which tend to deviate from the norm...

If Sohei's aren't going to be able to use shields, why should they continue to have the eq slot? Why not remove the shield eq slot, and add another "Sohei Specific" slot somewhere else, or, an extra "Standard" slot somewhere else. Maybe an extra ring or wrist slot...

Nobody's officially said that sohei won't be able to use shields. Anything that you hear on this subject from people other than myself, Tam, and/or anyone else that's involved with or privy to the class-rev discussions is most likely either someone's ideas for the class (trying to fuel a discussion, which is in and of itself a noble aspiration), or purely speculation.  |

Wow, and here I was, thinking I'd been abundantly clear on that front with my parting statement of: these are just my own thoughts, which tend to deviate from the norm... I was simply hypothesizing as to how a monk class would/could work on the mud, based upon what I'd read about them in D&D manuals. Nothing more, nothing less. Way to take it and run, SK! And people wonder how rumors get started  *hey! guess what! I read that every shield in the game is going to become nosohei once their class' revisions are done!* |

I apologize. I didn't mean to start any rumors... Like Charis said, I just ran with it. Again, I apologize. |

Sohei are going to get heal, sanc, dodge, 2xhit, orb, aura of darkness, fumble, defend, slow, fly, backstab, wod, berserk, and inner gateway! Honest! Then again, this could be a blatant lie ;D Ok, it is a blatant lie  Actually it's true that sohei are going to be more "monklike". If you check out the description of sohei on the web site, you find this out. As far as eq goes, skills, and everything else, it's all back on the chopping block for the most part (with the rest of the classes). Personally, I think we should have a love doll class, so we have mobile entertainment! Wait a sec.. shouldn't this thread be in the class section? I'll go start a sohei thread. Feel free to start any class threads you like and input on the jedi thread that jun started. -Tam |
