Wild speculation on Tabaxi race

Will it suck? Will it be wildly overpowered? Will there be a separate iconic & regular? Place your bets here.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

There’s gonna be a race and an iconic. 

The only way the tabaxi iconic won’t suck outright is if they make it a monk.  So, I fully expect those idiots to make it a sorc.

This is so obvious I don't know why you're bothering asking.

1.  The design will be absolutely horrible as if created by someone who can't get a job anywhere else in the industry outside of SSG.
2.  The graphics and movement will be goofy at best.
3.  They'll be "accidentally" OP as fuck until enough people buy them when they'll then be nerfed from orbit for "balancing" issues.

Yeah, but we could totally speculate on the specifics of how bad/stupid they will be. For example: five will get you ten they'll have tails; and probably stupid ears/head shapes that make cosmetic hats not work on them.

Tabaxi is a cat.

Hint 1: What's the ability that is buffed by "Cat's grace"?
Hint 2: Which class from: sorc + recently made f2p - benefits from that abilty?

So sorry if someone expected this to be a sorc Wink

The shifter iconic was an absolute ass, so not quite OP. Not sure if anyone actually played the handwrap theme more then one time.

It could be a monk. It'll probably be a sorc, but monk would be interesting.

I'm giving up the theorycrafting glove for this one, don't have the time. Would love to see someone minmax it and come up with anything relevant. I hear harhar is back, Noam is dedicated, 5FS is still around and Rubrub made a comeback - don't let me down folks.

How true this statement is. Remember the time this game was to be a competitor to WoW? Now Blizzard is part of Microsoft and EG7 is a pile of shit Roll Eyes

Honestly I thought WoW was a pile of garbage then and still think its shit now. DDO is no belle of the ball but its always been better than WoW.

My prediction is that the Tabaxi characters are going to be a bunch of pussys.

The iconic could have worked if they listened to feedback. The issue is they tried to force a TWF on a THF class.

All they would have needed to do was make a razorclaw exclusive weapon stance that makes Handwraps use Strikethrough and the extra stat scaling like THF to make it viable and interesting.

Don't forget that there aren't any good handwraps to make up for it.

This would have been stupefyingly challenging for SSG. Can you imagine the bugs?

Would have made way more sense to either design razorclaw to use THF from the start OR simply make it the monk iconic. But noooo, had to be a handwrap-focused barbarian.

Handwraps of the Hound is fine. The acid proc easily makes up for the fact they are handwraps, and the sov. nightmares is pretty solid.

If new iconic gonna be a sorc they have a huge problem:

Make it better than a regular sorc to make it sell with the pack. Racial tree needs to have something toward the class. Something that isn't worse than Dragonborn/Tiefling.

Can't really make better already OP class.

So my guess - It won't be sorc

I offer a disenting opinion: they could make it a sorc, but make it shit. See "handwraps barb" from the last iconic.

What if they make it a melee-focused Tabaxi firebrand? Do a lot of stuff to reduce the spellcasing ability while bumping up the melee capability until it sucks at both of them. People will still buy and play it to get those iconic/racial PLs, so what's the diffyio?
