Proposed animist bomber change

There should always be a LoS between the animist and their bombers.

A bomber is just a delayed nuke, like a bolt but slower moving, stop trying to treat them like pets.

You need LoS to cast it, animists have taken enough in their woody a$$, thank you

An animist outside of a keep should NOT be able to bomb the treb on the roof, even though they have LoS.

This is utter nonsense. Learn the class before you start throwing stones.

edit: incidentally, if they were buffed, as I believe they ought to be, this would never happen. The only reason this happens is because there's a huge delay/ridiculous amount of travel time for wisps through keeps. They should basically ignore the pathing, in my opinion.

Then ask for siege equipment to be untargettable by spells, not nerf a single class when every caster can do it (hint, if a bomber can reach the treb, so can every other AE spell in the game).

Wrong.

The only reason bombers can reach it, is because they are being treated as pets and can go through closed keep doors.

Try doing that with a theurgist.

Same thing happens with a Theurgist. I think we should just start ignoring you until you can make sense.

Try it out before you start spouting garbage.

This nerf would be way to harsh towards the animist caster. (I don't play one) but its already itself a good and bad thing for these. Good is that they can travel and target be bombarded, but also its a bad thing cuz the dmg DOES have to TRAVEL. Its not instantons like other casters putting dmg down immediately when needed. There will always situations that will make classes appear to be better then yours, just remember that's its vice versa.

Bomber range is 1500 units and requires the same LOS as any other spell to cast, if a bomber can be cast on the unit, then any spell can be cast on the unit.

You really have no idea what you are talking about.
