#Increase Spring base dps or give it a gimmick

Spring is a literal legendary tier item bruh, it is outclassed by ttide or az in nearly all builds, and lacks a unique defining factor that lets it stand out from the legendaries. Even supposed "bad" mythics like inferno, singu, or collapse have much higher base dps than their legendary counterparts. If they don't, like nirvana/idol, they have a unique gimmick like a major id or some id that stands out that puts them at a a mythic level. Spring has neither base dps nor a major id bruh. It should either have its base increased by 60-80 or have a major id like sorcery or something.

or az
well that isnt uncommon (az best mythic ngl)

spark mason
#

Still ridiculous its outclassed by a mythic 20 levels lower 😭 and az also has more defence too 💀

glossy fog
#

spring and aquarius are one in the same
and as such are bad for the same reasons
where the absolute only thing they have is an impressive amount of mana regen
give spring it's -3rd cost back, or something

hushed parrot
#

wtf dogunphobe made a good post 😭 😭😭

#

@simple scroll 🤯

spark mason
#

U actually dont even need that much sustain on a spring build since the high intel makes up for it, more than 60/5 is enough which is just spring + anam or spring + aquarius basically

simple scroll
#

no way

#

this is the first msg dogunphobe sent that makes sense

spark mason
#

Bro

#

Most my posts make sense u just constantly think my ideas suck for some reason bruh

simple scroll
#

@hushed parrot aaaand hes back to speaking nonsense

hushed parrot
#

💀

feral swift
#

honestly good change

#

either this or turn -dex down to like -15 or -10 🙏

#

or just remove -dex and add bomb cost

hushed garden
#

Or add some spell damage as a stat or something

spark mason
#

proposal

#

+50 base dps and -1 costs bruh

#

And worse thunder dmg

#

current spring:

static lichen
#

give major ID too

#

major IDs are so cool

glossy fog
#

you know, I'd like to, but wynncustom is having a bad day right now I guess and breaks trying to add major IDs

spark mason
#

I feel like it should be either a ID gimmick, or increased base, not both. Like nirvana/idol for example. Shit base for both but a powerful ids. The changes I made was an increase in damages but no significant changes to IDs

#

but a major id would be cool since mythic bows are kinda lacking major ids

static lichen
#

cata moment

hushed parrot
#

well on bomb it does nothing

#

unless sharpshooter

spark mason
#

If it needs a buff it doesn’t need a huge buff, since we’re compareing it to crafteds and legendaries primarily. Crafted bows are simply too strong (cspring is compareable to freedom, etc not just Spring) I think a good balance is to nerf cspring/ttide slightly and buff spring slightly to bring it to mythic level

#

Its not simply spring being weak, its a dynamic between spring being weak and alternative legendaries/crafteds being too strong

arctic ermine
#

if your changing anything about spring just take away its -dexterity. Adding new ids is pretty messy and anything more would make spring very powerful; its already not that bad anymore post lost spirit nerf.

spark mason
arctic ermine
#

losing 35% thunder damage is livable, losing that on top of dexterity is what makes it bad

#

spring works well with trapper after its buff anyways so it has a niche even if trapper still inst raid meta.

spark mason
#

Even with a moderate base increase of 50 and slight sp bonus, applying 3 w6 powders will let spring cross 1000 base dps and at least make it viable in the endgame

#

At the very least it will be mythic level, maybe low quality mythic level but still mythic level

spark mason

give it sorcery or transcendence saltroll

arctic ermine
#

I mean -thunder damage already discourages you a lot. I tried putting in a higher base damage spring into a build and it was pretty insane, just a bit more attack raises the DPS up by nearly 6k on your main attacks here (https://hppeng-wynn.github.io/builder/?v=4#8_01d0px0Ja0QjCR-19i9i9i4N4N9c9W91CR-19i9i9i4N4N9c9W910T40OM01gCI-100006sprong02504010305909036-70B07440-6200F30M0201Y0N30Q0201u0T010F0U011e0V010F0j0109d110106Q13023110Z0t+m2S+w2C1g10009I10039I10009I1007fI1004fI0z0z0+0+0+0+0-lFMr2FLyY1)

#

like you can argue that that build is not broken for sure, I don't even think spring would become meta if it were to receive a buff that big. But it is pretty extreme and something that theres not really president for doing to a mythic (unless we want to open the door for rebalancing every mythic, which might not be a bad idea)

+180 is far too big of a change in my opnion

#

Nvm its +220 in that custom item, not +180 mb

arctic ermine
#

+50 is pretty modest but thats not enough to make spring good ether

spark mason
#

It is an illusion. Part of the reason why spring is perceived as shit rn is due to the surrounding legendaries and crafteds being to strong. The other part of the equation is Spring is quite shit as is.

I proposed a modest buff of 50 base and 10 sp bonus to bring Spring up to at least a mythic level, while nerfing crafted and legendary alternatives slightly. (Cspring can compete with nearly all mythic bows)

#

So basically legendary bows like ttide and crafted weapons like cspring blur the line between legendary and mythic too much

#

(Not saying spring isn’t shit tho it certainly needs a modest buff at the very least)

hushed parrot
#

isnt spring base like 900+ with powders

spark mason
#

938 bro

hushed parrot
#

idk about u but that aint low

spark mason
#

Yea for a dps mythic it is extremely low

hushed parrot
#

its water mythic

spark mason
#

Most are 1100+

arctic ermine
#

well a lot of mythic bows havge 4 powder slots

#

I guess you could give spring a 4th powder slot too

hushed parrot
#

just give spring raw spell and call it a day real

scarlet ether
glossy fog
#

partially still feel like spring is just too
boring
it's a mana battery with a small bit of water%
every single other mythic even relating to water has some unique functionality
(barring maybe lament but still)

scarlet ether
scarlet ether
#

sorcery/transcendence like

glossy fog
#

70% new slow and weaken ID saltroll

hushed parrot
#

weaken actually goes hard on spring

glossy fog
#

given the -dex I have to assume spring isn't totally meant to be full dps
so why not just make it hyper debuff enemies instead
(it's even lore accurate!)

scarlet ether
#

yeah, that would even fit with its lore

hushed parrot
#

lore accurate but id rather weaken over slow ngl

#

slow does literally nothing so like

glossy fog
#

knockback% saltroll

scarlet ether
hushed parrot
#

think about it this way
if it worked how much would it do

glossy fog
#

about that, someone tell me how anti-casualty knockback% works
does negative knockback make enemies fly towards you again

glossy fog
hushed parrot
#

lmao

spark mason
#

bro new spring major ID frostbite arrow bomb will block all hpr

#

lore accurate jajajajajaja

hushed parrot
#

reduce def 💀
No.

spark mason
#

fixed it bro

hushed parrot
#

block hpr doesnt really do much either

spark mason
#

then add raw spell ez fix bro

scarlet ether
#

give spring +crit damage id saltroll

hushed parrot
#

on god

signal wedge
#

New Major ID for arrow storm called Blizzard: Aslong as more than 100 arrows from the arrow storm hit their enemy it can be recasted fire no mana and this can be chained.

hushed parrot
#

nah

signal wedge
#

Good idea tho

hushed parrot
#

its not

spark mason
#

it not

feral swift
#

give spring the flashfreeze major id fire creep now applies 50% slowness to enemies for 2 seconds, refreshed with each damage tick

#

honestly not a bad idea especially if cci is removed on most bosses (excluding raid bosses)

spark mason
#

fire slows enemies good logic

static lichen
distant harbor
#

Spring should give +50 defense

hushed parrot
#

dude slowing enemies literally does nothing stop suggesting it

glossy fog
#

it would def be less useful than a weaken or something but
surely archer would benefit from a heavy slowdown effect
particularly if the enemy doesnt have a movement ability

signal wedge
#

How about fuck the major Id we just remove spring from the game

warped otter
#

I'm curious how many years it'll take for the ims to take a look at spring with everyone suggesting random ass major ids

spark mason
#

They'd probably look over this thread in 30 seconds and decide meh and move on but thats my theory

spark mason
#

He's clearly joking 😭 💀

warped otter
#

Yeah yeah, its every time spring gets suggested a majorid, he'll postpone it for another year

warped otter
#

Also I'm not gonna lie, I kinda agree with the ims that just slapping majorids on mythics is a pretty lame way to make them "unique"

#

I remember Touhoku having that take at least (though this could be classic spreading misinformation), which I can definitely see

spark mason
#

Nirvana for example. Without its major id its a terrible weapon and far worse than its crafted counterpart

#

Idol does not have a major id but it has a unique attribute of -charge cost. Without this unique attribute it will be much worse than its crafted counterpart as well.

#

We simply say ‘unique’ not to refer to the mythic, but to a specific attribute that will bring the mythic to a mythic level

hushed parrot
#

if you want spring buff thats unlucky we are in summer

spark mason
#

Yea thats common knowledge

#

Its also highly likely there may not be a spring buff, many ct simply dont seem to give a shit about small problems like this

#

It is a far bigger priority to focus on game mechanics and additions rather than qol and small changes since better mechanics improve retention which improve revenue, which is really the whole point of wynn. qol and minor item reworks have very little impact on revenue whatsoever.

inner fossil
#

maybe make spring do more damage than briars

#

a bow of a tier lower, same level, and much better dps

warped otter
#

Get a build that compares both briars and spring because I'm genuinely interested

inner fossil
#

morph

#

I have both, have tested both, and briars can survive in TNA while spring cannot

#

Same challenges, up until the point where I died due to less mr

warped otter
#

Hmmmmmmm

#

Spring for comparison btw

spark mason
#

briars is not meant to be a dps weapon and its overall dps is also much lower than spring. Better comparison would be ttide (level 85 legendary) or Az (level 74 mythic) or cspriing (level 100 crafted)

#

Even fking az outperforms spring, it is over 20 levels lower than spring, it also has better defence than spring

#

completely ridiculous

warped otter
#

What are you on about 🤨

spark mason
# warped otter Spring also isn't meant to be a pure dps weapon

It's clearly not meant to be a tank weapon either. Its limited to ewa or ewf playstyles. Compare it to strati or az or even freedom.

All those mythics above have greater ehp than spring, and also more damage. Which leaves spring completely useless and not viable in any way

Even using Gale's force you get much greater ehp, walkspeed, and similar damage at the cost of slightly lower mana sustains.

warped otter
#

What about this screams "omg its meant to deal big damage"

#

Also 39mr is definitely not what I'd consider "low"

#

Its not stupid like Divzers 39ms but almost 8mv is still pretty nice

spark mason
# warped otter What about this screams "omg its meant to deal big damage"

You have not addressed my argument at all. I did not simply compare dps but I compared all aspects of the weapon to its mythics competitors. I am saying other mythics and even legendaries and crafteds are better in literally every other way possible. (freedom az strati ttide cspring gma - list continues)

warped otter
spark mason
#

??? where

#

I simply compared dps before but that was not my only point

warped otter
#

Hold up lemme just check it
I remember someone saying its supposed to be a damage weapon for some reason

spark mason
warped otter
#

I also said that 39mr is definitely not "slightly lower" compared to 0 in your counterpoint to gales force

The conversation simply shifted to one about major ids

warped otter
#

Uhuh....

#

I was about to say "Why did you amp the -td%" But I forgot bomb now deals thunder damage

spark mason
warped otter
#

I think
It also affects arrow storm but you don't use spring for bolt anyways

#

Also "Mythic Bows are lacking in majorids"
Meanwhile Mythic Reliks:

warped otter

Hmmmmmmmm
I'll check rq

Nop

fathom zenith

We should buff Spring (Its my only mythic)

Give it 50 defense and 5000 health
