More CCs of mine^^.
CC Case

Hhmm, Odd when I make an Intelligence-Based Class people seem not to read it like my Scholar no one commented it but their were some people who read it.

man this isnt lineage get over with it and let anet find the profs and stop posting pictures of elves

Well you can Imagine they are Human and Ignore the Ears = p.
And it wasn't my intention to show Elves it just happens they are and you don't call them Elves in this Picture you call them Cora, Coras are like Elves in RF Online.
I got this Pic from a Concept Model for RF Online.

well i still dont like em

Try taking Therapy sounds like you are getting to mad of me Multi-Posting and my CCs, No Offense cause this are Trivial Stuff and this won't affect your life in a way and why do only post in my CCs do you hate me or something?
BTW, I have alot more CCs for you to hate try Insulting them too^^.

I like this idea, but allowing you to use other monsters in battle seems sorta wierd. I mean like the ones you fight not summons or anything like that

Made Large Improvements^^!

how to put this delicately....no.

Why no?
Please tell me I want to imrpove this^^!

1. I don't care what other Momrpgs say, a sage is a person that has ascended so the name itself gives a monk-like impression.
2. All your pictures look the same and I pretty much hate them all so that's another point against you.
3. Artifact Creature System will never be accepted. All the players are a little bit picky about letting another summoning class or ability get into the game.
4. You said the big words in artifact creature spells, like a ranger's pet. That idea is simply stolen off the ranger and therefore worthless.
5. there is already a skill called capture signet and it's helped me unlock 76 of my necro's skills.
6. All spellcaster or medium range magic user's armor is 10 never 15.
7. All staves do ranged damage. They will never change this aspect for a single class that has a bunch wrong with it.
8. Too much stuff is missing to even be a class yet.
9. Those staff mastery skills were never your own idea. You just stole that aspect from my spellsword.
10. The entire class is stolen from many other people's work, this would normally not be a problem but the way you put the pieces together just ruins the concept of this class. I give it this grade:

Practicality: 3 (it's not going to add much to the game since most of it is stolen)
Originality: 0
Creativity: 1 (those pictures are stupid and worthless so that counts against you)
Chance they'll ever impliment this into the game: 1

Overall score: 5/40

I never read your spellsword = p
I don't read you'r CCs anymore cause it's all overpowered, pointless =p.
Again sorry I wasn't thinking about the Armor and Cap Sig = p.
here did you gat the Sage s an Ascended-Monk?
People copy other peoples Idea, AJ eve told me:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...1&postcount=22
And don't be a Hypocryte, You tried to copy my Psion.
You the took the Idea of a Psychic Person, Which you got from a different game.
And let me gues an Attack Spell is an Overpowered Attack Skill with an Obliterating effect and causing insta-kill^^!
While mine is an Attack Skill which is treated as a Spell and causes additional effects to Magic and Spells caused by other players.
And you can't even Rate correctly = p.

"You said the big words in artifact creature spells, like a ranger's pet. That idea is simply stolen off the ranger and therefore worthless."

With those words you said all CCs with Attack Skills, Enchantment Spells, Stances, Hex Spells and etc. Are Worthless =p
Which means you'r truly a Hypocrite.
And sorry if its spelled wrong cause you havent have a Typo for Ages and even misspell.

I'm no hypocrite because the ranger's pets are far different from enchantments, hexes or spells. A ranger's pet is a creature that is created by the game to be captured. Your class is stealing the ability of the necromaner mostly I would have to say. Instead of exploiting corpses your exploiting artifacts (that alone is enough to taint the rest of the class). I did not copy your psion because I did not deem anything in your psion worth adding to my own. All I stole was the name and nothing more.
And finally overall I deem that if I ever make a class similair to this in the future it will be in name only. My skills may be overpowered but that can easily be adjusted and fixed it's the concept that matters most. I stand completely by my decision.
The mere concept of this class recieves a 5/40 and if you add in the pictures, originality, and consideration that was actually put in this class I would drop the rating to a 1/40. As you did not see in my last post I have very little problem with you taking good things from other classes but I would, however, be insulted if you took things out of one of my classes and used it in a manner that made it so arenanet will never give a second thought to eliminating that concept entirely. In other words "Quality of work is what matters not where you got it from" and your quality is around a rating of 6/10. Unless you can make the quality of the work superior to the places where you got it from (as I did to your psion classes name) then it's simply an insult and nothing more.

You know whats the Problem with you, You only Critisize People.
You never add how to Improve it.
People like AJ, Nebo, SC and etc. They may Critisize but they also too tell solutions.
People like you, BK and etc. Only Critisize, If you like to "Only" critisize people it's pointless.

And don't say I only critizes cause I said to you. You'r skillsare Overpowered but I also said please Nerf them down = p.

Darkhell, try to keep your criticism more constructive in nature, or they don't help anyone. If you wanted to say you didn't like the build, one sentence will do.

Magma, I like the build, but I think you should embrace the creature thing.

Perhaps you could have a whole slew of spells revolved around enhancing and improving summoned creatures, and only two or three spells that actually summon them.

An example might be 'Summon baby dragon - Summon level 1...10 dragon. Dragon attacks for 3..10 fire damage.'

In of itself, it stinks. But then you'd have spells like:

'Fire breathing - Cast on baby dragon to transform it into a level 3... 15 fire dragon which deals 10-23 fire damage and lights opponents on fire when hit'

'Carpace - Cast on baby dragon to turn into a level 3... 15 carpaced dragon which returns 40% of all physical damage directed to it when hit.'

You see where I'm going with this? Make something very dynamic. Don't summon a bunch of creatures. Summon one creature and evolve him depending on what your team needs at the moment. Though, I would make sure there's a distinction betwen 'fire dragon' and 'baby dragon.' You shouldn't be able to evolve it into one thing and then evolve it in a different direction. It would be permanent the evolutions, and unless there is another one that affects a 'fire dragon', you cannot evolve him anymore.

From fire dragon, you could go for 'Phonenix' or something like that. Perhaps you could make an elite out of it that would only work on fire dragons. The fact that the creature has to last up until that point, which means you've invested a bit into it. So they could be rather powerful.

You'd just have to figure out a system by which you can't have too many pets out. I wouldn't want to limit it to one, but at the same time, having 3 phoenix dragons into play should not be a possibility.

Perhaps once you use the evolution spell, it is disabled until that pet is killed. Yes, I think that is an excellent idea. This way, if you wanted to invest all your skill points towards evolution so you can have powerful pets, you can, but you can do little else.

(frankly I don't think it's possible to fix this build without wripping out artifacts and replacing it with some other form of magic or something. plus I'm the critic not the idea maker . I just deduce the problems then let others figure out how to make it better.)

Sooo... that means ur like... a woman?

no it means I've been tamed by a woman before. You know how that can happen.

Sadly, yes.

Excuse me, I have something in my eye... *runs away*

It's good for ones that their are no Flames^^!

Nerfed and Vamped Artifacts^^!..

Let's see if I can't take a crack at this. Sage's were supposedly known for powerful medical magics. I'd recommend dropping artifact creature spells (basically making it more like it doesn't have a copy of the ranger) and replacing it with some form of Herbal magic. In ancient times herbs were burned or mixed to cast spells. Here's a possible sample:

Sagefire- 5 energy 1/2 cast 4 recharge
(Herb Sacrifice) Lose 1% of your maximum health. Target foe and all nearbye foes are set on fire for 1...3 seconds and suffer 5...40 fire damage.

Well you get the point (yay I'm becoming less tamed)

Theirs a problem, Now it sounds more of an Elementalist.
And this one has Stronger Recemblance to Existing Classes = (.

(that was just a concept sample. If you really put that skill into the class I'd think you were nuts...then i'd open fire on you with a machinegun but my point remains valid)

Added New Skills^^!..

I think you guys forget that just because a spell does elemental damage, it doesn't make it an elementalist, no more than doing physical damage makes you a warrior. Similarity comes when you try to use many different kinds of elemental magic (like elementalist) or use adrenaline spells in combination with physical damage +hit spells (warrior).

Then, it doesn't hurt that new concepts are added.
