Handlers

[Thaos Nightwind]

hmmm...

So i was over at the HJ main site checking out some of the screenies. Image 103 was interesting. If you hover your mouse over that screenie or look at the caption below it says "A human handler attempts to calm a brutish Targust in the wilting heat of Felstone Canyon". So it would seem that there will be the ability to train animals/pets or somthing to that effect in HJ.

or maybe they just asked a guy with too much fantasy to do the task of creating titles for the screenshots.

Nah. that would be like.. false advertising or sumthin'.

I can't say much, but I wouldn't doubt that 'Handlers' will be some sort of act-alike Hunter of WoW. Depending onw hat class/class combination you'll more then likely be able to specialize in different forms of beast mastery. Good catch, I didn't even notice that.

 

[WatchMaker]

Very interesting, need to look into this idea.

Perhaps its just an NPC...?

 

[WatchMaker]

Nah. Most its just a nick name for people who taim pets.

(Final episode of Cowboy beebop just finished air'ing. Pretty sad actually.)

 

[Daax]

yes it is. I cried. ;_;

 

[deserttfoxx]

Cowboy bebop was sad.. i think gungrave was closer to getting me to cry.

 

[Eve_CinVin]

Hmm...how did Morne miss this thread, that is before it was hijacked. :rolleyes2:

 

[Luciro]

Wolf Rain was pretty freaking sad too, but they did the painfully long and drawn out type of tear jerking.

 

[PrestoAdam]

Considering the requirement to multi-class, the ability to have 'handlers' with other class trates seems likely.

I wonder how a handler specced as an arcane spell caster would differ from one specced more closely to a ranger or druid...

 

[WatchMaker]

The only cartoon I have ever cried for is Chobits, and I came damn close for Popotan. (Both series you can find on YouTube.com)

Anyway, un-hijacking.

I would go for a pet if my pet could resemble something i would want, i wonder what would be allowed to be customized. Would pets be forced into melee, or could the cast magic, would the be so weak they are dismissed or so strong that you basically depend on them to survive. Can i name my pet, can any class basically use a pet? Questions that come to mind when i think of handlers. I dont think pets should be restricted to a certain class Maybe just how exotic a pet you can get be controlled by your class.

Good questions. I was kinda poo-poo when I read in one of the articles that anyone can use a bow. Its not limited by class but only in the hands of a Ranger is it optimzed. Maybe pets will be the same for Handlers and non-Handlers?

I didnt miss it, just didnt really see a need to comment on it. and you know how I feel about pets when it comes to class "balance".

 

[Daax]

Two words.

Pet panda.

Well now you have me curious. Gonna have to recheck the screenies but I don't remember seeing any traditional animals. Hmm..

 

[Daax]

I just want a little miniature panda-like creature to travel around on my shoulder. ^__^
