just one note on the odd skill icons, cant really help myself with this one... try using photoshop on the icons to "just change the hue" i think you failed a bit there, the icons might be similar, but the design is different, just like the arching... i agree with the second one tho, the hand is totally coppied... but why not? :P cool observation tho *thumbsup* -humble

Some thoughts
I am the first to admit balancing skills is hard, but I thinks you made one serious miscalculation here with Lunging Blade: a 10 sec recharge teleport? fastest targeted one there would be, plus loads of extra damage. my idea would be to at least make it r15 and/or reducing bonus damage, and half-range (which would also be a more realistic range to lunge over).

For the rest: skill icons resembling each other.

I liked monking in RA, but often had people mostly sins, or the occasional war) rush in and die, then complaining about me. Build creativity is nice indeed, but some players simply can't handle the tactical skill required for making decent builds. I've once seen a stereotypical wammo with healing hands in AB (this was loooooong after whatever happened to HH to make it bad, I wasn't around yet when HH wammos were actually used). And I've had a healing ranger in a PUG in the northern shiverpeaks too. Lvl 14, claiming rangers could heal better than monks because of their superior e-management. We couldn't get him to understand that expertise didn't work on monk spells.

I've been shouting "death to FACTION X, they eat babies" as a habit in AB matches, simply because it starts funny convo's. I've been on both sides, and equally enthusiastically shouted it for both :P --El_Nazgir 13:20, 20 February 2011 (UTC)


 * "this was long after whatever happened to HH to make it bad, I wasn't around yet when HH wammos were actually used"
 * They were never truly good, just unkillable because nobody thought to bring Enchantment removal when you can just wait it out instead (and in the meanwhile wand him). I fondly recall a GvG where a mate of mine just tanked 5 or 6 of the opponents, solo, on his Paladin. He even got three kills in! He just had to use HH whenever he got low, and they'd heal him up with ineffectual attacks. I think he also had Healsig. This was all pre-Factions, mind you. Ancient knowledge :p --Vipermagi 14:04, 20 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, btw, the Lunging Blade skill is technically half-ranged already; can only target Nearby.
 * Disease spreading minion is OPed. --Vipermagi 14:08, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
