Vital Weapon

The Sins We Die By's Problem -- 20:57, 27 March 2008

Discussion

Problem

As is just has no practical use beyond being a non instant cast Endure Pain.

Solution

Change the attribute to the restoration line and return half of the health buff as healing upon ending. Up the recharge to 4 seconds. Edit: Change duration from 5...29...35 seconds to 5...13...15. ~>Sins WDB 17:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Intent

Give the Ritualist a way to have a heal on call. By mixing with Weapon of Remedy or Vengeful Weapon there is a potential quick heal and damage reduction.

Lancys Proposal

Issue

-Just another vital blessing that's not maintanable

-Hinders your ability to cast more important weapon spells corresponding to the events happening in the battlefield (eg, Weapon of Warding would be more suitable for dealing with melee pressure)

-A one time, spike prevention weapon that works similar to lifebond but is more active

• Vital Weapon -

5 ¼ 12 - (Communing) - Weapon Spell. "For 3 seconds, target ally has a Vital Weapon that redirects 75% of the damage to you. The damage you receive this way is reduced by 5...33...40."--Lancy1214 23:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Issue

Boring. Doesn't really help that much. If you want spike prevention you might as well grab Weapon of Warding.

Suggestion

Weapon Spell. (10 seconds.) Target ally has +1...3...3 Health regeneration and gains +5...17...20% Health from healing. End effect: ally is healed for 20...68...80.

Issue

unused, because other weapon spells are more important and this on is only sensefull if used on the whole team

Suggestion

• Vital Weapon -

10 1 5 - (Restoration Magic) - Weapon Spell. (5...13...15 seconds.) Target ally has +50...170...200 maximum Health and gains 30% more health from healing.
