.....actually im thinking off my feet here...why dont we Implement such Ideas into already existing classes just like a comment I seen earlier on this....We already have a dual weilding leather class...Warriors


as much as i as a warrior would like to agree with you, that would be total horse [filtered]. warriors dont need any more abilities... we can already fill 2 roles as far as tanking goes, and we are the most annoying class in pvp to fight... give us a stealth, and we would be the most overpowered class in the history of all games.

the issue with balancing stealth is as follows:

1. in order to balance stealth, there is always a penalty in survivability, or speed, or some other penalty. (this is obvious, as in order to add something powerful, you have to take away something to balance)

2. because of the penalty from the previous, the new stealth class becomes pointless... so then the devs start looking for a way to pump up something else the class has to make it more useful

3. after 2, the class is either still underpowered, and thus needs more, going back to 2, or it is overpowered, going back to 1.

this is an endless loop, and this is why stealth classes are always broken in every mmo.

A class having a weak point doesnt make them underpowered. And it wouldnt be underpowered if the damage from the poisons did enough damage. I played a warlock as a main in WoW for years, which used DoTs. In BC we were considered OP, but we still had weak points, and certain classes could roflstomp us.

As for healers cleansing the poisons, just add a penalty that has a chance to proc if the poison is cleansed. Like reduced healing, movement, or something else.

1. warlocks were considered overpowered for a reason. having a weakpoint doesnt exactly mean that you arent overpowered. thats like saying a man with a sword can take out a tank, because it has a weak spot in its armor. there is a difference between a weak point, and a huge hit to something to balance an extremely powerful ability.

a weak point would be like having a lancer not be able to block from behind.(since they move slow, it might be difficult for them to block certain attacks if someone gets behind them). a huge hit to something would be if the lancer's shield was balanced by making them have no armor on the back.

2. if you do that, then the class would once again be considered over powered, and thus you arent solving the issue.
