Subject: NUNCHUCKS! COOL!!!!!!


yes! why, oh why didnt we think of this before?
OOOOOOOOH!

Ok ok, stay calm....
we gotta make a petition!
NOt one of those whining petitions begging variant to make our class
stronger, but a petition asking to get out class some more items and
attention. All the suggestions I have read so far are cool! And I think
they would go along way to improving the game in a meaningfull way.

Ideas for nun-chucks:

They should use the hand to hand skill
Monk only
There should be 3 levels of nunchucks:

A high level variant would be 7dmg/16 delay proc dooming darkness level
34 necro spell? (correct me if I am wrong)

Obtainablity:
Obtainable through a level 40+
multi group effort similar to the Soulfire or flesh ripper type require
ments. I would locate this weapon somehwere in LOWER GUK or SOL B.

Balance issues:
Bear in mind that with 7 base damge a level 40 will only hit for 21-25
max damage with these nunchucks vs 35+ with his fists, the DOT makes up
for the loss in damage, and I think that the 16 delay is faster than our
fists?)

_________________


Mid level version should do 6dmg/17delay and proc stun

Obtainability:
Obtainable in a single level 30+ group.
Locate this in some dungeon but at a reasonably accessible place in a
level 35 critter? the depths of UPPER GUK or SOL A, or the front part of
LOWER GUKS LIVE SIDE or SOL B are candidates, As Is NAJENA)

Balance:
Stun is such a cool spell.
It is a great way to taunt a creature, and it saves SO much damage
- at leve 30 mobs hit for around 70+ a pop and they double attack often!
Stun is just want a monk needs to help keep stuff off his groups casters
and to save himself a good 140 to 420 points of damge! Nothing to sneeze
at.
At level 30 you will hitting for 18 a pop with this weapon vs 30+ with
your fists. but the delay is faster i think. I say again anyone know the
delay on our fists?

_____________________


Low level variant should do 6 damge/20 delay and proc root?

Obtainability:
Good level 15+ group
Locate it in a dungeon like Crushbone or Befallen

Balance issues:
At level 15 a monk will probably be better off using his fists
except for the nifty root that these weapons cast, allowing him to tackle
creatures in dungeons. This weapon is not meant to be a be all or end all.
Just a nifty looking addition to the players wardrobe.



What do you guys think? what is the effect delay on our fist punches
anyone know?
