Another New Fake Mastery: Cold

[Wyvern]

Yep, I'm up to something new guys: an idea for a new Mastery called (surprise ) COLD! This one includes Matseb2611's Night and yerkyerk's Channel in the Classes.


Cold

Preview

Time covers the floor with green mantle,
That was already covered with cold snow,
And in me converts the sweet song in crying.

Luís de Camões


The Freezer is a mighty opponent, able to turn the tide of a battle by turning off the enemy's heat. However, he/she is more inclined to defense rather than attack, since his/her powers are more based on friendly cool than the dread chill we find in our world's poles.

Now, here are the biggest number of legitimate pets you could get: the Coldstealing Parasite (skelly beast), the Iceraptor and his level 8 hatchlings, a neanderthal (from a whole new green ring called "The Hominid Ring" that would give+1 to all skills in Cold and would grant a Neanderthal) and a peng (from a new weapon called "frostwind shaped club", aclub that would give +20 cold damage and a free peng).
They are SO waiting for the boss to get out!


And here are all of the pets plus a corrupted anouran (by raptor's corrupting bite) in a brawl. Hero is also summoning a block that'll hit Karkinos and you can also see his two auras.

[yerkyerk]

Heh, gotta love the über paint skills
Not sure what every skill does though...

[Wyvern]

I kinda used Corel Draw for the Anouran pic, but seems like it sucks when you look at the background.

[minisav]

Yeah it is pretty cool. Kinda like storm but more focused on the freezing.



Cold+Hobo= ?

[Ruse]

Now that is one cute Ice Raptor icon I ran into those guys for the first time yesterday. Love to have some as a pet.

[Matseb2611]

LoL! Nice one. Yeah raptor pic is awesome. But don't you need 20 skills? Every mastery has 20.

I like the irony here:

Cold+Nature-Lone Sage

I mean doesn't nature have the most pets?

I was seriously thinking on putting it in the review, but I would be comparing two differnet Masteries in it, and we all know the preview only talks about the mastery itself.

Cold+Hobo- Boozer
And this class would be so powerful it needs a catch fraze used by all who choose those two masteries in TQ:
"And with plenty of ice, warm beer sucks!"

I hadn't enough patience to enter Editor, place an iceraptor and draw it in the avatar (ok, I did first two steps, but I was WAY too tired to even draw another line in that pic).
And who doesn't like them as pets?

Cold+Nature- Lone Sage

I was way too tired to keep doing it (I don't know what time is it there, but in Portugal when I posted the reply it was almost 11:30 PM). And I repeated Mindcooler twice: the Nether pet and the Dream class. I'll change the pet's name later.
Yeah, now that I think about it, it IS kinda dumb. When I wrote it, I couldn't find another name for a magician priest (cool names like Shaman, Diviner, Sorcerer and Warderer are already chosen); then I remembered the inuit (snow) shamans (sage) that live up, like hermits (lone) in the mountains and ask the spirits(nature) for advice.
See how I got there? But if there is another name I forgot for a magician priest, please tell me.

Acolyte, Adept, Arcanist, Adherent, Disciple, Initiate, Wizard, Cultist, Angakkuq (=Inuit Shaman), Nanuk (Inuit master of Polar bears), Caster, Sage, Mage, Mystic. I could come up with more if you'd like

[minisav]

Well Hobo+Cold=Boozer is alright. Wouldn't Anti-freeze drinker be appropriate?

[Wyvern]

I was about to put sodasipper, but then I remembered Hobo is for drunks.
