As a follow up, you'll notice that despite this, I am still playing
the class, and nethers still get invited to eq.

| here is the way i look at nether. Maybe a little late but i want to voice my thoughts on why the damage is the way it is. Your 4 gamma guilds are basically fire, earth, water, and air. 4 major elements in the world. for nether to come up with its form of damage it has to come from these basic places. So fire, cold, asphyxiation, and physical are pretty easy to understand why its there. Electric you add cold with warm and a bit of wind to help create a storm and there that's using its basic elements to create something new. With poison it is a stretch but look at a volcano and the poisoned gases it releases. but has earth and fire with a mix of air to it as well. So it more or less takes 3 elements to make the 2 new ones.
Magic - I can not see them doing that since they are basically using the elements in existence within reality.
psionics is like magic not really found within nature or a combination of them it is something within the mind.
Acid - I can only view that as acid rain and i don't see that dripping skin off a bone as well acid rain is man made and not really natural. If i am wrong about that sorry but all points i have seen pointed to that.
holy/unholy easy to see why we don't do that. we don't devote our-selfs to a higher power either good nor evil.
Well there is my explanations of why the dtypes we have we have and what we don't have we don't have.
PS.
even mist mage and lava mage are using a combination of these elements to create something new. This was just my point of view hope you like it |
