User talk:Raine Valen/Skill

You practically grabbed Grand Summon from Final Fantasy 10. /thumbsdown --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:96.233.8.116 (talk).

On a more positive note, I really liked a lot of your skill ideas. And I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who borrows icons. --Michael the Perfectionist 16:31, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

It was a good concept. Raine - talk 20:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm shure attacking 100 % faster is not imbalanced or anything lol :') ow btw moving 100 % faster alone is pretty much overpowered.Well atleast it isnt a shadowstep Lilondra *gale* 20:55, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

For 3 seconds of 10, it averages to less than a 33% constant IAS/IMS. Considering that you can move at 10,000,000,000 billion times normal speed with any Shadow Step, I don't think a 100% IMS is too bad. 100% IAS over 3 seconds means you can do get off twice as many attacks, so you're looking at about 5 attacks in that time frame. Powerful, yes. OMGamebreaking, though? Raine - talk 20:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Ow if people already complain about death's charge then i suppose having a 5 sec recharge shadowstep isnt a good idea (pve perhaps is another story) Lilondra *gale* 20:56, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

There already is a 5-second recharge shadow step. It's not broken. Raine - talk 20:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

that shadowstep has fucking exhaustion and is elite in case you didn't notice. you pick death's charge for the shadowstep not for the healthLilondra *gale* 06:51, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

It also deals ~100 damage with 25% AP and has no aftercast. And it's an Elementalist skill; Eles don't exactly have a myriad of shadow step skills, so it would follow that their one Step would be elite.

Even so, I think Lose 50 Health would be fair. Raine - talk 12:33, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Whistling might be OP 2 but i like the idea of putting some int's on dervish (however therefor i'm afraid the scythe has to do less damage) Lilondra *gale* 20:58, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

It might be, I think the conditional is too rewarding. Raine - talk 20:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Increase recharge to 12 atleast and give it a serious drawback Lilondra *gale* 15:37, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Other interrupts don't have serious drawbacks. Any of them. Raine - talk 19:33, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

TBH one of the reasons the first IWAY was this OP was because IAS'es stacked they attacked at 66 % faster if i'm not mistaking wich is pretty crazy already Lilondra *gale* 19:43, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Ow btw SUFFER has a nice idea but I fear that it would become to powerfull.Imagine eveyr cripslash dealing an extra 60 damage on spikes Lilondra *gale* 11:33, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

"Suffer!" is one of my favorites on the list. Could use a damage nerf and cap, though. Raine - talk 13:11, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm. Lightspeed has a good concept but 100%? I would say 50% and it would be more like an elite dash. It would have the same relationship with the non-elite as does Primal Rage with Frenzy. 71.255.242.196 00:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Nova has no cast time!

Nova is pr0sauce with no cast time! Uber 1447 skillz!!1!one!!1! I think one second would be good.

Lightspeed is pretty hax ATM. I'll rework it. Raine - talk 13:11, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

A short note on game mechanics

In Guild Wars "attacking 33% faster" is actually a 33% reduction in attack interval which actually equates to 50% more damage and 50% more adrenaline gain, so by anyone who actually understands English, it would be called "attacking 50% faster". Along those lines what you actually want Lightspeed to do is make them move 100% faster and attack 50% faster or all attacks will have 0 second activation and I don't really know what that would do to the engine, but I suspect it would break something. This misuse of "speed" is quite common in RPGs because game designers/programmers are game designers/programmers, not English teachers. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Misery (talk). 13:17, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, that makes a HUGE difference (activate ALL of your scythe attack skills in 0 seconds, FTW!) (or hell, just autoattack an infinite number of times). I'd been thinking a 33% IAS was "you attack 4 times in the interval that you'd normally attack 3 times", not "you attack 3 times in the interval that it would normally take to attack twice." It definitely needs a rework now. Raine - talk 13:25, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

OMG the 100% faster is sick! sins need that , imagine a shadowprison chain in exactly 1 second, bye bye monk,hello halls Annoying And Deadly 00:27, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Skills tab

Hey, i'm also creating some skills on my user page, and i would like to know how to create the skills tab template because my page is kinda messed :S ty. ah and btw i use photoshop to create skill icons but they are quite mediocre --Soulforged 21:22, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

I honestly couldn't tell you how I did it; when I actually created the page, I looked it up, and then added material was automatically added. I think saving all your skill pages in the same directory and then using a title match table to that directory would work. If you're not sure what I mean, just go to my page and hit "edit". I hope that works for you. Raine - talk 15:26, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh, thanks anyway --Soulforged 15:50, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Confused: New Condition

While Confused, your actions have a chance of not getting to your intended target. (No effect unless Dazed.)

An explanation of mechanics

• Whenever you do an Action (attack, cast a spell, use a skill) there is a chance to not perform the action to the intended target. The chance to hit is: ¹/_{how many Characters (Player or Non-Player) in range of the action}
• Example: A Confused monk trying to cast Word of Healing on a player in spell range with 7 other characters in his spell range has a 1/9 chance of landing WoH on his intended target. The other characters, including the monk, have a 1/9 chance of having WoH land on them also.
  • In the example above, there were 9 people (including the monk) in his spell range, so he had a 1/9 chance of getting the correct target, and a 8/9 chance of hitting the incorrect target.
• Example: A warrior is meleeing a target. There is another character adjacent to the warrior's target. The warrior becomes confused. He has a 1/3 chance of damaging his target. He has a 1/3 chance of damaging the adjacent character. He has a 1/3 chance to damage himself.

Limits

• No effect unless Dazed
• No single skill can cause Confused AND it's pre-requisite. Not even an Elite Spell with

25 5 90 .

• The effect can last no longer than 4 seconds.

--Riddle 03:59, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

The only issue with that is that a lot of confuse-causing skills would have to be non-elite, since most of the daze-causing skills are elite (there'd be little way to bring both otherwise). But it looks fun. Raine - talk 17:59, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Feint

Added damage...yet it deals only ~12 damage? Might wanna explain that bit :) Harrier 17:54, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

You're supposed to use it on a blocking target. For example, if a monk's about to die and uses Disciplined Stance, you use Feint and it gets blocked, then you follow up with some other attack skill, which goes through Disciplined Stance and does stronger damage. That's the purpose of a feint; it's not supposed to hit, but to leave the target open for your next attack. Raine - talk 18:04, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

When you put it that way, it seems like a a very fun skill to use :D I'd use it. Harrier 21:07, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Dervishes

Should not have kd's. Umad? Eartshaker+Scythe=Boom!!! Or maybe that was your intention when you designed the skills... >< BlazeRick 07:34, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
