Default Re: Suggestions for new patch

About the order affecting reverse communions, I feel I should remind you about a conversation of some time ago - where KO said it is possible that in future patches all the communion slaves will be busy catalysing the power of the master, and so be able only to fight if required, not to cast spell.

Nothing certain yet, but I can just agree with this solution, if you ask me. I've always found those a bit of weird.

I would certainly like to keep that they can fight or fire bows, but I wouldn't have to much against it if they couldn't cast spells anymore.
However being able to change the casting order has some other benefits. If you're using a crystal matrix then you want all the slaves casting communion slave before the master in order to get a defensive buff or strong spell cast on the first round.
Also if you combine some mages without a communion it would be a good way to optimize scripting.
For example when an A4 mage casts Storm and A2 mages cast Storm Power after that or a priest blesses all mages before they cast their first spell.

I would also support that. But even if that were true, it would be nice to be able to influence casting order.
