Channeling

[Xero]

I'm requesting that all classes receive the channeling skill. As it reduces interruption on clickies as well, and we all know how many wonderful items we have on this server. To implement this I am asking that you:

1) add a NPC that will give the skill to those that don't have the skill, much like the tradeskills for poison/alchemy are given from a NPC.

2) add a trainer, or the same unlock NPC, that will max the skill, like meditate from that one mushroom. (non casters can't cast spells to increase it)

3) add the NPC to the vale, so it won't affect those leveling as vale isn't accessible till level 60.

So, simply this will make it fair across the board for the use of clicks, although still favoring casters with the aa abilities.

Thanks for any consideration.

I am against channeling skill for all classes.

Its already not that difficult to recast items like Ares, Shield of Immortality, Sune's Vambraces of Eternal Life ... during combat - even tanking bosses.

Erm...

Seriously, then we should raise dodge and defense for casters to balance the fact that melee get channeling and then oh wait... My Necro is going to tank from now on and then can I get backstab on my warrior ?

No Wait lets make all spells Insta ! So no need of channeling !

There is already to my eyes a lot of skills/ability that are normally unique and that everyone can get ( FD, COTH, DMF... ) and if every class start to get the same abilities what is point of having different class in the first place.

Shouldn't you be one-shotting Draekon right now, Catlynne? (insert rogue weapon aug nerf plea here )

But yes, channeling is one of the key skills that separates casters from pure melee. When playing my buddies warrior I noticed he has a slightly more difficult time reclicking immortality during a fight than my SK, but that's certainly a reasonable tradeoff for having 100% up-time on defensive (insert my epeen envy here). Needs to stay as is

it's for the use of clickies, not changing anything as far as how classes are played.

And as a side note, clickies are offering classes things that they don't already have... such as FD, divine intervention... etc. They weren't made to favor any one class, but not having it cast cause one doesn't have the skill doesn't seem balanced. And the channeling skill won't do anything outside of make them easier to use in combat. Not like giving a necro super tank dodge or anything drastic.

Normally I would be 100% behind this idea. I hate maining a lot of non caster classes on other servers and never being able to get a clicky off.
But here I just cant think of a single reason to support the idea.
I can think of maybe a handful of times I failed to use a clicky item on my warrior or monk etc where it actually mattered.
+1 for the suggestion though.
