#2 unorthadox_dragon Jun 26, 2008 22:00:25	ok this is almost as cool as the Bard Post i love bards... but as my name signifies i love Dragons to! i agree its overpowerd by at least (---) that much... but it seems you created ... Monk... in dragon form... it seems like a mixure between Rouge/warrior/ranger and warlord. maybe this was intentional i dont know. and about the first attack "slash" ok just make it twin strike or call it twin slash if you want to. i also like your sense of humor. whats up with the new tiers? legendary? Godly? im not sure who's going to go that far. it would be cool if it did go that far! and you should make dragon riders!!! i'll keep my eye on this let me know when your done
#3 progresslevel9 Jun 29, 2008 19:11:37	my only advice right now is, for the love of god, PLEASE s-block this! as you can see... ...this is much easier on the eyes.
