Images of Remorse

Seef II's Issue -- 05:44, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Discussion

Issue

Weak degeneration - outdone by newer or buffed skills - and wimpy conditional. Cast time isn't helping either.

Suggestion

Change numbers to match Shrinking Armor: 5/1/8, 1..4 degen.

Badly outclassed by Shrinking Armor

Issue

This skill is slow and weak. If the energy cost and recharge weren't low this would be in the trash bin.

Suggestion 1

5e 1s 6r, increase duration to 10 seconds, increase degeneration to 1...3...4.

Suggestion 2

5e 1/4s 4r, add unconditional damage of 5...17...21.

Cursed's Issue

Issue

it isn't spamable enough and doesn't really deal any damage compared to clumsiness/wandering eye, it can even be compared to a one hit empathy but would need more than one copy and would drain ur energy pretty fast.

no one use this for the degeneration, no one use this for the damage, no one use this as a cover hex.

Suggestion 1

remove the recharge and remove the degeneration, making it more active and attack punishing. an anti-melee version of overload.

5 2

Spell. If target foe is attacking, that foe takes 10...46...55 Damage.

maybe add: if that foe is adjacent to you, that attack is interrupted.

Suggestion 2

turn it into a hex version of reversal of damage.

5 0.25¼ 3

Hex Spell. For 8 seconds, the next time target foe would deal damage to an ally, that foe takes the same damage and Images of Remorse ends. (maximum 5...61...75).
