Just replace the bull's head with a Druffalo head and the image is 100% perfection.

There is only so much time one can spend staring at some random Bioware Dev's face.  :ph34r:

However, if someone were to make the spirit blade heal mobs on hit.... I'd make the Sistine Chapel of Bluke. :alien:

I feel like the Keeper needs a buff to her Barrier ability. Since she's geared to more towards keeping her teammates alive, in addition to proving suppression abilities, I think by buffing her Barrier back to pre-nerf would make her more unique among her other mage peers with Barrier. Alternatively, she could have a unique benefit to her Barrier.

It is a sad day when it is easier to clear something like Nightmare WITHOUT a barrier caster. The Legionnaire is happy though.

 

I have no idea how you would balance it out again without bringing back invincible barrier groups.  I wouldn't be against the keeper herself getting some kind of buff....just not sure a wholesale barrier buff is practical.  Maybe somewhere in between nerf and pre-nerf? I dunno.

I set this to my desktop background and just had a really awkward moment when I had to show my boss something on my computer.

I'd take a middle-of-the-road approach. Since she has Strength of Spirits, that would likely boost her Barrier generation close to what it was pre-nerf. Something else that could be thought of is her Barrier casting on all teammates; no matter their location. Another example would be to give her Barrier a unique function unlike the others; like a brief health regen period for those under it.

I got to thinking, with Ice Mine not dealing any notable damage, would it be possible to reduce the Activation Time? If not that, then should it not have a larger radius so it can encompass more enemies?

It would be epic if the effective radius matched the planting circle. Maybe ice mine would be something worth using then, lol.

Yeah, either ice mine deals a lot of damage or the run activation time gets decreased.

Probably not happening until, at earliest, the next patch update.  I remember Bluke saying he was looking into reworks for Hunter (presumably a buff), Alchemist (presumably a buff), and AW.  I doubt he's gonna continue messing with it knowing he intends to rework it later anyway.

That's fine, so long as it happens eventually (hopefully with the next patch).
