Morales eh? Pretty good concept and very potent if used in combination with other warband/party members. A 6 man party with rank 4 morale bomb going off can inflict devastating damage to unprepared warbands and have been known to wipe three or four times the number.
The problem is.. Not all morales are equal, and in fact. Some are just absolute junk.
All tanks have the following rank 3 morale.
Distracting Bellow
A loud shout that startles your target and all enemies within 30 feet of them, reducing their damage by 50% for 10 seconds.
But not lets look at the career specific ones.
Black Orc - Walk it off!
Everyone in your group gains 120 Toughness for 15 seconds.
Blackguard - Armor Of Eternal Servitude
The magic infusing your armor springs to life, further increasing your armor by 990 and restoring 2400 health over 20 seconds.
Chosen - Sprout Carapace
In a chaotic surge of growth, everyone in the group's skin hardens, increasing Armor by 1320 and all Resists by 504 for 30 seconds. Everyone receives 100 AP as well.
Ironbreaker - Gromril Plating (I'm sure this got changed recently, but can't find the notes)
Everyone in your group becomes protected by a barrier which will absorb up to 7200 damage for 20 seconds.
Knight of the Fluffy Hat - Emperor's Champion
Increases your Strength, Toughness, and Wounds by 240 for 30 seconds.
Swordmaster - Bladeshield
You become protected by a magical shell for a few moments which will strike back at any attacker for 600 damage and absorb up to 3600 damage for up to 10 seconds.
Now lets compare the Black Orc rank 3 morale with the Swordmaster rank 1 morale.
Black Orc - Walk it off!
Everyone in your group gains 120 Toughness for 15 seconds.
Swordmaster - Guard Of Steel
Protective magic increases your group's Toughness by 120 for 10 seconds.
So let me get this straight. Our rank 3 morale is equal to the Swordmaster rank 1 morale, just with 5 seconds longer duration? I'm smelling a grubby snotling 'ere...
I'd like to change it, so here's two ideas I had for it...
Black Orc - Walk it off!
Everyone in your group gains 300 Toughness for 30 seconds.
Black Orc - Walk it off!
Your group breaks any crowd control affecting them and gains temporary immunity to all crowd control effects for 15 seconds.
The downside to these two is that they are both RvR focuses, there's no real use for them in a PvE environment, but then it IS an RvR game.
So to summarise. Black Orc rank 3 Morale = Not gud. Fix it plz.
