Which is sexier: Catharsis, Absolve or Reclaim?

Druids shouldn't have absolve. Biased.

If decreased mental capacity results in nature eating you...that's a big plot hole given the history of Khandava and Celidon. Just sayin'

Iniar

I think it would be awesome if Arels actually performed the Absolve move themselves. Then the Fallen could perform Catharsis.


Calling upon his faith, Khizan's wings flare as an alien power subsumes his corporeal form. He stretches forward his right hand and touches your chest and an impossibly white flare of agony sears across your mind. His eyes roll back into his head and as you gasp for breath, his Seraph drives her hand into your back, dragging your soul out with it and plunging your body in ceaseless, inhuman pain.

Sarrius

I'm a sucker for Nature themed flashy spells.

Khizan

Absolve has always been my favorite because Priests have been trying to bill seraphs as kind, beneficial, protective things forever, and here it is getting off on eating your soul.

Here it is from a Priest's eye vantage:

You call upon your faith and nod gravely at your Seraph, whose wings flare suddenly as an alien and frightening look of power sweeps across her face. With one hand, she reaches forward and as her hand touches Iniar's chest, it flares brightly, impossibly, white, and enters his breast. The Seraph's eyes roll back in its head in ecstasy as she rips the soul from Iniar's body. Iniar collapses without a sound; his body now nothing more than a useless husk.

I voted for Catharsis because #teamdemonick, but I prefer Desecration Implantation as well

You point at Galador and a stunted honeysuckle treant envelops its tendrils tightly around her, positioning
some of them over her forcibly open mouth.

One of the tendrils of a stunted honeysuckle treant lashes out suddenly against Galador's mouth, shooting a
disfigured demonic seed down her throat.


A stunted honeysuckle treant emits a bloodcurdling hollow howl as its tendrils enter Galador's mouth in a
sinuous movement and inject a second demonic seed into her throat. The two seeds enroot themselves deep
within Galador's flesh.

With a triumphant rustle, a stunted honeysuckle treant injects a third demonic seed deep into Galador's
throat. Panic is clearly visible on Galador's face as the three seeds start growing rapidly within her body,
infesting veins, muscles and tendons, transforming all into decaying, rotten wood. Her bones are able to
resist for a while, but eventually they too become overwhelmed and where once stood Galador is now only a
hideous, rotten tree.
You have slain Galador.

Not that it matters much when vivisect is so vastly superior.

I was recently discussing this very thing with someone. An Arel priest should be able to use all of their fayth abilities without the seraph, imo, especially considering there is no longer any functional restriction on the use of seraph skills.

I vote for zap.

This is by far the creepiest thing I've ever read and not in a good way.

Ahkan

That's defiler for you. Entire class is like a run away hentai

Iniar

Surprised Selthis hasn't converted to Defiler long term.

Ozreas

Complete with an endgame that tends to only lead to an embarrassing mess and subsequent depression rather than the gratification you were hoping for.
