[dev1206] Class Reforms & Action Lists

[AlphaDragoon]

I like what I see for the most part. Glads still get screwed on attacking, but at least they now have massive enmity generation so there's a chance they won't get laughed out of the building in favor of Marauders.

I'm afraid for Pugilist being heavily MP based. We've already suffered through this issue pre-patch, and now with the inclusion of so many MP using attacks (MP draining modes, MP draining auto-attacks as Monk) we might be back in the same situation despite getting access to a much bigger MP pool, which is the only reason we still aren't suffering through running out of MP at the present moment. Featherfoot DOES NOT help with keeping MP up as it is a tiny restoration amount reliant on a dodge, just to dispel that illusion.

Does anyone know for certain, not speculation, what class Pugilist crosses with to get Monk? If they have access to say Conjurer then it shouldn't be too bad because that class unlike Pugilist actually has a dedicated, no requirements like dodge or hit them from the sides, straight up MP restore.

PGL is also getting access to an MP-draining WS to help alleviate the issues. WS8 in the list, if I recall correctly.

Edit: Ah, I see now that you actually reference that in your last sentence. . .

I covered that in my post, actually. It's a WS that has the possibility of restoring MP and only if you hit them from the sides. Pugilist/Monk seems to need a massive amount of MP, as much as spellcasters. Spellcasters get dedicated, linked to their class MP restore skills with no special requirements to get the MP back. If Pugilists use as much MP as a spellcaster (and it seems HIGHLY likely from these notes), Pugilist should have one too. Not cross class, a Pugilist skill. Either that or they need to ease up on all the "MP drain/MP use" they look like they're throwing around on Pugilists/Monks.
