New Proficiency Idea - Topic

the problem with adding things to the game is balance balance balance
at the low levels it's going to suck using them because in order for a music player to be better than just a random damage dealing character it would have to have pretty high of stats
but then by the same token, the amount of stats that would make it worthwile at a low level would be too powerfull with the high levels
imo no need to add ridiculous things to this game any more than has already been done

-Click on a monster, yourself, or party members to play it.
-When played, yourentire party gains the mods of the instrument. Kinda like a "party glyph."
-The musical magic lasts for about a second -- unless continually played (like holding the down arrow.)
-Your proficiency level and enhanced effectadd to that second.

You will need to press R to use the accessory slot, and then click.
So you won't be able to attack or cast if you want to play it. Each click is an action (you asked because of how much party exp you will get for sitting there banging your drum?)
I feel strongly there should be different types. Heals are divided into three types, heavy weapons are divided into types, and so should this intended add. It gives class diversity and more challenge from mastering a particular instrument's proficiency (A headhunter would only be able to use drums, cuz jazz flute is for little faerie elf boys.)

ok thx. looks like u rly racked ur brain...
but it looks a lil like a leecher slot for cata... fixating the down arrow and going afk

Bards Tale I, II and III come to mind -- but i don't think this will be orchestrated into Ladder Slasher
