A take on the Shift spells

[rancid sable]

Here is my take on the Shift spells given in Khrysalis.

I'm going to immediately veto the shift thornpaw, as the 10% spear was the only reason I used it since balance spear is not a trainable spell

[rancid sable]

veto means reject, right?

[kindred orchid]

yeah

[rancid sable]

wait, isn't balance spear on Lambent Fire's crafted gear?

[kindred orchid]

on gear maybe, but not a trainable spell

I used shift thornpaw through the entirety of 3rd and most of 4th arc

Replace the standard blade with a pierce one and then it’s perfect
-# well at least thornpaw would be

I have a feeling something like this is coming in the fall update

[rancid sable]

update that gives the spells Moon DPP

[kindred orchid]

I like the inclusion of the school pips, but these seem unbalanced/useless tbh
Like 4/7 of these seem to counter healing
Ice Balance, and Life's were made worse than their current form
And Death's was just made stronger
Also can't wait to deal 7 moon damage each round for 5 rounds

Oh yeah, by changing the damage type, damage is no longer boosted by school damage, only universal

[rancid sable]

I may take this one out and put it somewhere else, currently undecided on that, but it's not dealing 35 over 3 or 5 rounds, it's dealing 35 PER round for 3 to 5 rounds.

[rancid sable]

they already did that. You didn't think Hydra dealt damage based on your fire, ice, and storm damage stats, right?

[kindred orchid]

It uses Balance, since it's a balance spell
You're having a moon spell deal moon damage

[rancid sable]

ok, the purpose of that is to make them better at being "debuff removal" spells, like how wand hits are?

[crimson haven]

I'm fairly certain that no matter what school of damage that a spell has, the damage is only initially boosted by the school of the spell itself.
Like with Hydra being boosted by the balance damage stat. Another example is empower, which does moon damage, but is boosted by the death damage stat
