Classless reaction

How would you react if suddenly classes were deleted and:

Everyone’s awakening was changed to savant’s;

Weapon/relic slots were changed to 1 weapon, 1 relic, 1 shield;

Abilities and all other things unlocked with stats were changed to level requirement;

2

I wouldn’t really care* as long as I can still plasma paladin

*as I don’t play the game anymore anyway

3

free regen imbue on zerker i guess

and also watching the live meltdown on either the forums, discord or youtube

4

that would suck so bad

I’d probably quit since using weapons is a disgrace towards the magic

5

what is this world of magic

6

I’d have a heart attack

7

the item slots didn’t even need a change :skull:

but that’s where i hate this, not even that annoyed by the awakening part, I’m annoyed by the combat tool slots

8

Literally almost no difference for me. Just give me back my 3 weapons and 3 relics, my fighting style and my magic and I’m happy.

that would be pretty weird though. like imagine getting used to it. so weird and unnatural, sorta would cause problems by how weird it is.

like so weird.. like i cant fathom how weird it would be if that happened. thats also the weird part of me not being able to fathom. i think weird is subjective but in this case thats weird to say.

like it would be weird to experience that.

weird.

I mean, it would kill all stats except full magic and some variants of balanced.
At least, when Arcane Adventure had that, it only had:

  • Magic
  • Strength (both FS and 3 weapons)
  • Health (useless but eh)

Back then, even if magic was probably the most viable stat, there was legitimate reasons to get a lot of strength too.

Meanwhile, if AO had awakenings removed and those changes were done, BUT all stats stayed the same, then…

  • Magic (still busted to max for stronger spells, second magic unnecessary)
  • Strength (mid, only affects one fighting style)
  • Weapon (terrible, only affects one weapon)
  • Spirit (also terrible, only affects one relic)

I would be okay with it as long as other things are viable alternatives to magic

You’d just be able to use whatever you wanted, maybe with a limit on how much can be equipped at the moment[1][2]

Pretty accurate to the lore anyway

  1. maybe by turning magic and fighting styles into equipable weapons and giving one person like five slots ↩︎

  2. this is just for gameplay purposes so we don’t have people going seven different random bullshits ↩︎

what if instead of the class bs, you simply obtained the bonuses that were previously for awakenings at certain stat milestones

250-300 in a single stat for whatever the awakening of that stat would have previously given

125-150 in 2 separate stats would gain imbuements between those specific stats

And guessing for maybe a level 250 awakening

500 in a single stat for the 2nd pure awakening

250 in 2 stats to obtain whatever extra they would normally get

or you could have 125 split between 4 stats to effectively have Savant with imbuements on anything (warlordvant gets locked up for years before being released in a world where everyone else got buffed)

and using old estimates that might no longer be expected[1]

2 stats that would have otherwise been a pure build awakening can be chosen, at 500 each, and a single other stat would be capable of having it’s imbue gained for the other 2 main stats (125, + 75 extra)

Though at the same time, you would lock yourself out of the higher requirement skills and items[2][3]

Probably would have it’s own host of balance issues, but it would prob be even more lore accurate based on how much focus you put towards the different stats

  1. level 600 ↩︎

  2. like ancient magics estimate being for level 500, would be abt 1000 put into magic, and losts estimation of 300 would be 600 magic or whichever stat, alongside a whole lot of other skills which would be inaccessible. ↩︎

  3. If the 3rd imbuement option is sacrificed, lost things would be obtainable, otherwise locked off if attempting to go for a 3rd stat or more, and unless a single stat is focused with maybe a single other thing for imbue, ancients are off the table ↩︎
