included somewhere, preferably at the bottom of the page.
Skill Balance Suggestion Formatting[edit]
Formatting for content on the Skill Balance Suggestion pages is to follow the following format:
=Attribute= =={{skill icon|<Skill Name>}}== ===Current:=== *'''__{{adrenaline}} __%{{sacrifice}} __{{energy}} __{{activation}} __{{recharge}} <Skill Class.> <Effect description.> <font color=gray><Drawbacks.></font>''' ===Proposed:=== ====_______'s Proposal==== *'''__{{adrenaline}} __%{{sacrifice}} __{{energy}} __{{activation}} __{{recharge}} <Skill Class.> <Effect description.> <font color=gray><Drawbacks.></font>''' **<Reasoning and explanation.> ====_______'s Proposal==== *'''__{{adrenaline}} __%{{sacrifice}} __{{energy}} __{{activation}} __{{recharge}} <Skill Class.> <Effect description.> <font color=gray><Drawbacks.></font>''' **<Reasoning and explanation.> ~~~~
For example,
=Tactics= =={{skill icon|Protector's Defense}}== ===Current:=== *'''5{{energy}} 30{{recharge}} Skill. ({{gr|5|11}} seconds.) Adjacent allies have 75% chance to block. Ends if you move.''' ===Proposed:=== ====Raine's Proposal:==== *'''5{{energy}} 10{{recharge}} Skill. ({{gr|5|15}} seconds.) Target ally and all adjacent allies have 75% chance to block attacks. Ends for each ally if that ally is not near you. <font color=gray>Block effect: you take {{gr|30|10}} damage. Cannot self-target.</font>''' **This skill previously had the debilitating drawbacks of ending on movement and a having a terribly long recharge. The new function allows movement, so long as the user maintains a "nearby" proximity to those he or she is attempting to protect, and has a maintainable uptime. The damage clause has been added both for flavor (it goes with the theme of self-sacrifice in the act of protecting others) and for balance reasons. [[Image:User_Raine_R.gif|19px]] <span style="font-family:Castellan;color:red">[[User:Raine Valen|''<font color="red">'''Raine'''</font>'']] <small>[[User talk:Raine Valen|<font color="red">''- talk''</font>]]</small></span> 02:19, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
generates my suggestion for Protector's Defense, as seen on that page.
All skill balance suggestions should be listed under the corresponding attribute (or "/Unlinked") in alphabetical order.
Any suggestions not adhering to these standards will be reworked or deleted.
