Hey Trion! Listen up, new Soul idea! Runeblades!

[Wildpaw]

Yeah, the game's not even out yet, but this just came to me when I saw this thread. --> http://forums.riftgame.com/showthrea...n-t-mages-tank <-- In short, the thread starter asks, why can't a mage play the role of a tank, and someone counters it with, can a tank clad in armor play the role of a mage? Well, i say YES! And no, I'm not about to say, just give the tank a staff and spells and call it a mix, no! I am saying something completely differant. Runeblades! In short, magic swords. A blade that can cut through not just armor, but slice through the very fabric of magic defences! Of course, it would have its drawbacks, ones i can't think of at the moment. And the swords will play the magic role as well of the melee role! This is what i vision! A sword that can cast spells, such as fire lightning from the blade, fire, and cast arcane based debuff spells, just think about it, you the future players would that be something you'd be interested in? I know i would any day of the week!

Would this be a mage soul or a warrior soul? I can totally see a mage clad in shimmering protective runes wielding summoned elemental swords and channeling his magical energy through those summoned blades. I was hoping there would be something like this from a dps perspective for the mage but I could see a light off tank type soul too. Maybe the two go hand in hand.

I'm not seeing what you're talking about.

[Shinimas]

You mean like a character that IS a sword? Hmm, that can be a new Calling alltogether.

Argh look out here come the giant blazing sword.

Sounds awfully similar to the character Celes in Final Fantasy VI

If you want trion to look it over i suggest you post it in the suggestions forum.

they are not going to add a runeblade thay already have it full there just either putting the rest of the classes 2gether or they havent released them yet plus they already have a class called riftblade

[Kintega]

They pretty much have this between a few souls. There's no need to introduce a new one that serves as a duplicate of them, since too many people would then be running around with armor-negating and magic resistance-negating souls on and wrecking everyone, regardless of class.

If you happen to be referring to the soul called Riftblade. First of all, theres no way to even know what that is yes, second of all, if it happens to be just about what I'm talking about. then I'm a mind reader, and you shall all bow down before me or suffer the consequence.
