'Lo WarBlade,
As you are a long term respected member of this community, I would have expected you to be in the habit of reading a post before hitting the reply button and ripping a post up one side and down the other. What you took as flame bait was actually intended in the spirit of an exploration of possible modding options relating to synergies. In the name of expanding knowledge.
I think you will find - if you would please re-read my original post - that I did not suggest that these should be implemented. I suggested we see how far we could push our knowledge. Seems to me that the LL has been the sort of place to try and expand the knowledge base concerning a game we all enjoy. If I am wrong in this please, please, let me know, and I will go away, so that you can continue to flame in peace.
Is this a personal attack? Yes - at least to some extent. Sorry, I know that these are not generally appreciated, but look at your own response. I find it a bit hard to respond to an unprovoked personal attack without some commentary on you.
Did you even read the part you copied? I said I couldn't think of a good reason to do this. That includes the sorceress. I just wanted to know if it could be done.
By this, I meant that it was well past my bed time, I was having trouble thinking clearly, and that I was having trouble continuing to look at the screen. I threw out a few ideas, which you failed to read. What is more terrible - that I only thought of a few crazy ideas and labeled them as such, or that you failed to contribute anything constructive, instead choosing to haul off and point out my shortcomings without actually considering the ideas I put forth?

Quote:Nice? How so? The Sorceress is already way overpowered because of + skill items on a similar score and you speculate on going further down the same road?
