Endure Elems for SM % Baneknight

[lala]

Could endure elems be added to both of these quasi classes, this is especially important to SM as they are limited to having to wear mord or breach ring a lot in hells.

Probably not for BK, but definitely a possiblity for SM. Please post in the ability change or spell change suggestoins thread.

Could the spells Endure Elements and Resist Elements be added to the Bane Knight and Staffmaster spell lists? Both of these quasi classes rely upon the use of mord and breach rings and the minor bonus those spells give would make a big difference.

Would also like to add elemental shield and acid sheath to that list for staffmasters. Wouldn't mind seeing the damage shield portion left at wizard caster level or disabled outright, but the immunity and duration would be very helpful since we have to wear breach/mord rings all the time.

Thought that looked familiar, lol.

Seems this was looking good for SM.
Any chance this will be considered part of a near future update?

Probably not, as SMs are doing quite well defensively (and have sick offense). We passed on giving them crit immunity for the same reason. We may consider after more playtest though.

Ah well, anyway good to know that a decision has been made on this, you may be shocked to see that I agree with crit immunity not applying to SM

SM do have nice balance feel at moment, need to see how much the crits hurt my SM next time I try Hells (hoping ISP will be fixed by monday).
If the experience in Hells is rough for the SM, maybe a different solution than crit immunity; not sure if you can do shield ac with a spell.

Sorry to mention this again but is there any chance the Asmo rings can get AC deflection on them as a consideration more for SM than casters?
Might help a little with the class, I know it would definitely help my SM build.

Thanks
