Reintroduction of Tackle

Post by Zeldryn »

Hai!

So, a few of us noticed that tackle wasn't an ability that was listed for training by any of the trainers as of yet. Given such, I had a suggestion.

A: Bring Tackle back. Tackling is fun.

B: Bring it back with the following requirements: Melee Combat Proficiency, and 100-250 melee combat skill.

Why Only melee combat proficiency: Tackling is a rather straightforward maneuver that doesn't require an insane amount of training to get the hang of. I think it'd help to throw everybody non-specialized another bone. I can see a rook or an elemancer (elephant) tackling someone as much as I can see the obvious dreadnought or guardian bulling someone over.

Bonus suggestion: Give people who are specialized as dreadnought/guardian a bonus effect to tackling that non-specialized folks don't get. Like the ability to punch someone in the face while tackling for free to do damage-- or maybe an increased chance for knockdown given the weight of their kit.

As always, we appreciate all of the effort. Hope we see this one pop back up for us!

Whoops, tackle was supposed to be in for the Pragmatic and Heavy combat trees, I'll get that added. I'd rather keep it there instead of just make it all-around general, otherwise those with the option to pick up Sweep (in the Finesse tree) will have two knockdowns available to them, which would be a pretty big advantage considering cooldowns.

Keep in mind that the Finesse, Pragmatic, and Heavy Combat trees can be taken by anyone, so these moves are available to anyone (including Elemancers or Rooks) who want to take them, provided they're willing to invest the points for it.

Makes complete sense to me. Thanks for the quick correction!
