MISSION NAME: “The Queen’s Justice”
REQ LEVEL: 28
ORDER: The Durmand Priory
CHARACTER: Level 28 Human Elementalist
This mission needs to be completely reworked, it is downright idiotic.
PROBLEM #1) You replace the character’s powers with a completely new set of five powers that they have no experience with or knowledge on how to use other that tooltips.
PROBLEM #2) After taking away my Elementalist powers you then lock me into using the “Mortis Verge” (which is mispelled “Mortis Virge” SEVERAL TIMES in the text). I can’t even hit the ` key to drop this “anti-undead weapon” and use my own abilities.
PROBLEM #3) You send in a wave of eight risen, with a mixture of thralls brutes and a few others I was too busy to catch the names of. That’s not the problem. The moment one ability is used on the Mortis Verge, your target Risen and at least two others pair off and bum rush you, dumping ABSURD amounts of damage on me. THAT is the problem.
PROBLEM #4) The Mortis Verge uses my HEALTH for ammo? Who’s imbecilic idea was THAT? I fire off an ability at a Risen Brute, I believe it was the #1 slot power, and it dumps a load of energy into my target. Since my target is already standing on my toes, he responds with a smack that does 400 points of damage. Trouble is… I only have 64 points of health level after ONE SALVO from my new health draining powerset that’s been forced upon me.
PROBLEM #5) With just TWO risen standing over my now downed body, they do exactly the same amount of damage that LOGAN THACKERY is healing while trying to revive me. To make matters worse the Risen are alternating shots so I can’t keep my #4 slot downed ability going long enough to contribute. It takes Logan the better part of SEVEN MINUTES to finally whittle my health back up while the Risen are beating on me.
This is a full seven minutes that I either sit there and wait, or just hit the teleport button and opt to respawn at the nearest check point. Oh did I mention I was pinned against the front door and I’m STANDING ON THE CHECKPOINT ? Yeah. 1 Mortis Verge power, the Risen I’ve got targeted goes from 85% health to 50% health, then downs me again with one shot.
RINSE. LATHER. REPEAT. This cycle went a total of 14 deaths.
SYNOPSIS: Totally stupid mission, especially for a CLOTH ARMOR WEARING CLASS. No player should ever be forced into swapping their powerset for another one that is fueled by HIT POINTS in order to complete a PERSONAL STORY MISSION.
