instead of gaining new magic stuff i think they should get swords if possible as they are mageknights

[Klokinator]

instead of gaining new magic stuff i think they should get swords if possible as they are mageknights

I understand the logic and I fully agree with it, however this is not FE5, and that would also require getting someone to sprite a full sword animation of high quality, and my spriter already has a sizable wiorkload. Should an animation become available, I may consider this and I will rebalance the class too.

Edit: Also, I updated archers, snipers, and sharpshooters. I didn't like their skills, so I modified them so that Sharpshooters focus on power and crits, while Snipers focus on range and utility.

I also modified the Cloak and Dagger slightly.

okay makes sense not to be nagging but could it be possible troubadour to pick the element they attain on promotion?

[47948201]

Also Strength and Magic are not split in FEXP for some strange reason.

[Klokinator]

It's fire by default, and that's the way it will remain unless my coder wants to step up the workload. I'd prefer not to do that, but if we ever get extra time I'll look into choosing the element. I love having more choices anyway.

I actually started making a mage knight w/ sword animation not long ago for my hack. Plan on making it public though, so help yourself when its done

Oh hey that's helpful! Well I like to see the community come together for big projects so your help is appreciated :)

[cyron]

there is a sword troubadour made by tba in this topic called feditor animations

serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=26068&st=0

i know magic and physical are split but it could help if mageknights are ever able to get swords

plus there may be other stuff you want to use there

Edited June 23, 2012 by Cyron

[AstraLunaSol]

But that animation sucks

[Jubby]

is it crappy because of placements and timing or do people just not like the frames? I wouldn't mind fixing the timings and positionings...

[Klokinator]

If it were timings and positionings I'd have to redo them in the FEXP animator anyway, and I have no need of a troubadour with swords, only a mageknight. I don't even need a mageknight, it would just be kinda nifty to have. I actually think it's... unnecessary.

[Jubby]

I know you would, I'm just curious. XP

[AstraLunaSol]

is it crappy because of placements and timing or do people just not like the frames? I wouldn't mind fixing the timings and positionings...

it was based off the ranger, and the ranger sword is pretty bad in itself.

I dunno, this is just my opinon.

[Jubby]

that's what I thought, just uh, making sure? I've seen a few other people say the same, but a few others blamed it on the timing, so just seeing what you thought :P

[Klokinator]

Final class updates, hopefully. There's no guarantee I'll use T0's in MoH or even FEPS, but if I did, this is how I'd balance them.
