The Hidden Forest

So what is it? What upgrade has been notoriously forgotten by the slacker Devs?

What skill/Disc could really use an enhancement? Which AA is so important but left in the dark on THF? What spell hasn't seen an upgrade in years and is still working in vanilla mode?

Hell, even ideas for new AAs - we are a custom server and have our secret ninja weapon called Vaion

Please keep in mind we are talking lev70 here - we realize there are some things in the pre-70 content that could be addressed - but this is not the thread you're looking for

Keep it coming.

p.s. as written in some posts below - no more Donor ideas please. Please stick to spells, AAs, Discs, Abilities.

Tyler,

Ranger class aa. Shorten the distance required to be away from a mob to strike it with a bow.
Ranger class aa. I want more bow distance.
Sk class aa. Turns Sk into a zombie, can't be healed but turns the Sk into a life tapping monster for a short time.
All classes. Percent chance that a mob's dreaded summons/coh will fail.

do same for mages =)

Donor item that summons a vendor

There are no plans for any new donor items.

Item Lines that could use an update
>Aggro drop items. Really potent concussion-type clickies - better than any available spell, but on a reasonable 30-60 sec cooldown. Would be really handy to see a coveted item like the CoH orb but casts Feign Death instead, with a decently long cast time.
>Epics! (wtb 3.0 =D) Also, epics should be in line with the way the class is itemized. SK and Pally classes really shouldn't receive 2handers as rewards when the content is designed to deck them out in 1hander/shield combos.
>Weapon augs. Would be nice to see some more quested weapon augs. Tier 5 is the latest and greatest of the type 4/8s. Would be nice to see an upgrade to that line, and also the availability of some quested 16/17s. Then it would be nice to see some caster-specific weapon augs earlier and later in the game than T5.
>Unlimited charge fireworks item!
>Self heal items. The last available for non-healer classes is Tier 3.

What - no better nukes for Clerics yet? Disappointed but not unexpected

Endless Quiver for all melee classes. Should not be game-breaking in any way...just a convenience.
