    DSO is bringing new gems into the game-i seen on other games weapon gems that imbue your weapon with elemental powers (ie. fire, cold, lightning, turn to stone) such powers catch the foe on fire, slow them down, electrical damage, turn to stone- also your weapon displays such powers.(ie flaming sword,frosty sword,electricity emminating from sword just a suggestion on adding more damage or a way to stun monsters since they allow monsters and players to do so. i think it would b a cool addition to our characters.

    sounds cool but instead of gems what abut essence that: lights your ememies on fire-poisons them-slows them(ice)-breaks armor a small ammount-has chance to stun(lightning)

    too much is in gems already wich the best are only available for looong time players or the wealthy

    your weapon showing the effects sounds cool also

    Great idea. I have seen this in other mmo games. But stun effect would be too OP for PvP (think someone has 3.0 attack speed). Maybe effect can work only for PvE enviroment. Elemental power such as burning, poison, cold sounds great. Max 2-3% success rate. Otherwise it will ruin everything

    thought it might be a good addition-dso is making the game where u pretty much have to buy essence to play pve so maybe give us a different type of damage-this game is for a good pastime not spend thousands of dollars to make gems-but thats ok with dso apparently

    No need of different kind of damage.
    Those new sets are already crappy enough with crappy bonuses (invigorate, dark power ... ).
    The skills are defining the damage ... not the gems.

    dso added different powers to monsters to freeze,slow down attack,poison damage thought it would be nice to have the same- btw if the gems dont make the damage and the cost is unspeakable-then why do u use damage gems on your weapon trakilaki?

    I am using them to increase my base damage.
    But my base damage output is defined as physical or elemental by the skills ... that was the title of this thread "add elemental damage".

    Guardian fighting for 15 sec and healing 60%, just like wolfpack, would be nice. :)

    Each class have their own history as to how these particular classes developed to have special powers.
    Mages are the only class that are supposed to enjoy elemental powers.

    Check these wiki class introductions :
    http://drakensangonline.wikia.com/wiki/Spellweaver
    http://drakensangonline.wikia.com/wiki/Dragonknight
    http://drakensangonline.wikia.com/wiki/Ranger
    http://drakensangonline.wikia.com/wiki/Steam_Mechanicus

    Each class was originally built with certain distinct fictional history and those define their strengths, weaknesses and Skills.
    Deviation from these will lead to DSO losing its Originality.
    So, let the mages have what they have, so be every other class as well :)

    With every update, Classes are deviating from what they are actually supposed to be off lately, but that's an entire different topic to debate on ;)

    my intentions werent neccesarily for pvp-it was aimed toward pve because the new monster elemental powers-i would like to be able to stun with frost or fire or freeze on my weapon only-other games have warriors that have the ability to add gems to add elemental damage and stun powers-the special essences are already in the game (ie silver essence, snow essence for big bear etc.)
