soulshots?

 I saw in a post someone mention soulshots, did they really add the L2 soulshot mechanic to this game?

 

I really hope not, it was the worst feature in lineage, I don't believe you should have to tote suitcases full of items just to make your attacks viable in combat.

    There are soulshots per say but they are a static +x amount of damage. Instead of the +% like it is in L2 (or so ive heard, never played l2)

     Still tho you buy assloads of soulshots for pvp then and use them with every attack and those who don't die.

     

     

    Lame as potion spamming.

    The damage diffrence is pretty minor, I didn't see much of a difference while using them so fortunately they won't be as mandatory as in lineage.

    I have a boat load of them via drop's from mobs, Have not used them yet. There not vital to any fight and nuker classes cannot use them.

    Soulshots were a money sink in L2. I was addicted to them back in the day, hehehe.

    I liked the L2 soulshots.  They added a whole new complexity to the game.

     

    You had to plan your inventory wieght in advance, shop around for the best deals, possibly craft your own, budget them out in raids, choose between different classes of them depending on the situation (blessed vs regular), use them in the calculation cost of a different weapon....

     

    They were a complete game mechanic that added depth within themselves.

    Agreed. I just let them pile up in the two weapon slots and occasionally turen them on now and then to use some up. The difference is so minor that they are a nice bonus here and there but nothing anyone depends on. Very different from L2 where that stuff is crack. :)

    No, they are no good for magic user's, Just save and sell them or put them in storage and save them for your ALT.

     well thank the gods, the ss in lineage were so powerful that for melee it made most of your skills all pointless compared to just SS spamming.  I'd just auto attack and hold down F2.

     

    And as a mage the good SS made your spells like 3 times as powerful, who wouldn't use those.
