#Give toxo 850 post-powder base dps

title.

toxo is complete and utter dogshit rn

this would make it a (still below-par) more viable option for intended gameplay styles instead of poison slop, which CT have clearly stated will never deal usable dps ever again

I'm not sure why this hasn't been done already. giving toxo actual base dps would not affect item rolls at all, nor would it take very much dev time to accomplish (I find it hard to believe that it takes more than 15 minutes to change 2 numbers in wynn's code)

the toxo meta will be earthshattering

nooo poison rework post frumer guys, just 2 more weeks!

robust tusk
#

for context, 850 post powder dps would put toxo in 7th place out of all the mythic reliks, as an earth weapon with no combat or damage related stats other than flat 22k poison dps

#

there is no universe where toxo enters the damage meta at all, even with 850 base dps

wintry gate
#

im sorry but it wont happen because it makes too much sense

Toxo is indeed shit but i recently bought a toxo to upgrade my super old one and ive almost gotten back all le spent in just 3 sessions of ing farming so toxo is op enough frfr

robust tusk
#

the only actual shaman mythic that has less than 850 base dps (every other shaman mythic has >930 post powder) is abso, a weapon with 100% heff and many other good reasons as to why it has significantly less base dps than the median

toxo is vfast though, how much would e6e6 add for example

robust tusk
#

I really just want to get the "toxo with 850 base dps would break the meta!!" argument because like. no it will not lol

white palm
#

Oh oops read pre powder

#

Its 4am ok

robust tusk
#

850 pre powder base dps arguably wouldn't be remotely meta changing either, to be clear

white palm
#

I dont think theyd give it that much anyways tbh lmao. at most id see 320-380 prepowder. Bc clearly thats op enough with poison!

#

But id rather 320 than fucking 3-3

robust tusk
#

3-3 base dps was ok back when poison actually did something

#

but at some point CT decided that poison is just never going to see the light of day ever again

#

it is too brainless to ever deal more than 65k dps with the most hyperoptimized poison build in existence

white palm
#

I mean even then, in most meta poison builds it did like 170k, which is still shit lol

robust tusk
#

which is fine, but then the poison mythic should receive actual base dps so that it can function as a weapon

My favorite part is how more than half the IMs dont even know that Toxo gives 40 strength

wintry gate
#

funny because gaia still sucks

robust tusk
#

having an entire endgame mythic occupy a niche that explicitly is never going to perform near morph level (let alone on par with other mythics) is horrible no matter how you look at it

white palm
#

They dont even know their items 😭

wintry gate
#

ive heard enough, nerf warp

white palm

i agree

real gaia enjoyers remember when gaia was high 400s postpowder base dps -300 spellraw 🤑 🤑 🤑

#

bring back poison stacking instead

brave ibex
#

how will this affect the toxo raw spell stack scene?

i have 7 toxos begging to be used right now

#

istg there was a fun mID for earth shaman but toxo is so bad for that there is no place to use oit

Give it forest aconite treatment like

#

this is a good idea thus it won't ever be added

timid kiln
#

uh uh uh furma stop

reef scarab
#

give toxo 99 powder slot

lyric spear
#

Remove all of toxo's ids except poison because poison is already using way too much budget

#

Remove its powder slots too

delicate arch
#

Id rather have them triple it's poison cuz that way it wouldn't lose it's identity but noooo that would be too much afk dmg 😀

#

Another solution would be a major id that turns the powder special into something useful having to do with poison

slate lynx
#

i see two routes that toxo can end up going,

  1. poison gets meaningfully changed for it (full poison rework/mID)
    or
  2. toxo gets below average base damage like this thread suggests (id personally do a bit less than 850 base dps maybe but thats just my opinion)

#

why can't toxo just get reworked entirely?

#

pure poison damage doesn't work. especially on mythic standards

graceful trench
#

like even increased dmg to 400-500 would mean A LOT

what if tshatter made poison trigger faster and you could play tshatter toxo

magic shuttle
#

i think if toxo had a poison stacking gimmick it would be more viable, since it is a faster tier attack weapon and a lot of poison items have previously had attack speed incorporated in the design

#

clearly % based dmg would be too busted cause then you can bust it out on anni and deal a % of max hp lol

white palm
#

% damage on non-bosses
on bosses it could be like cut in 1/20th

magic shuttle
#

but giving it stacking like in that piano build where you used 7 toxos in inventory, would be lowkey 🔥

#

i thought this was the intention of +4 tiers necrosis in the long term

graceful trench
#

could also be implemented in attacks

dense mantle
magic shuttle
#

for me toxo should be redesigned with reference to the design of existing poison items i feel

#

some give +tiers, some give -tiers so there should be value in hmelee vs fast poison

white palm
magic shuttle
#

they have changed req types in the past, so they could do that appropriately on an overhaul

#

Can we remove poison the devs admitted they don’t want it to be viable and so many items are just filier due to it why drag out a damage system whos whole point is making people make threads to speak to the void

white palm
# timid kiln Can we remove poison the devs admitted they don’t want it to be viable and so ma...

cause poison used to be good and instead of fixing the actual issue with poison (being able to insta kill players in hunted, doing true damage) they just ruined poison for PVE aswell

poison wasnt even that good back then, even with a good build and abusing powder specials for even more poison damage (yes that worked), it only did like 200k max and thats being generous, and well 200k/3s is 66k dps .. so its still super trash lol... they could just revert it im ngl .. yes its a super lazy easy playstyle but so is stuff like epoch tstack (and that actually does good dps) so who cares ??????

#

Poison exists because it’s job security for feedback posters

jagged merlin
#

done, toxo now has 0 powder slots, 0 base damage and a max poison of 850 * 3

Spell ashock

rugged condor
#

I feel like Toxo would’ve gotten significantly better reception (after the poison nerf) if it was a fabled to start with, or Ashock and Toxo switched level ranges, buffing aftershock in the process

wooden sable
#

Aftershock users when their weapon suddenly becomes great???
Toxo users when their weaopn suddenly becomes the same it never was great???

rugged condor
#

Toxo will never be good, since you’ve got an earth relik in aftershock and they hate poison’s design. It will always be a gimmick, so it fitting into that tier of gimmick with its rarity or level would’ve been the way to start with it

devout urchin
#

too bad, that amounts of imaginatory power level poison takes away is too much (for ims)

devout urchin
#

even if using best posion gear (toxo + snail) it's not nearly enough

Do you remember when that 40 str actually scaled the poison on this thing like crazy and you could do competitive dps With it with courage

ruby lion
#

yeah.

devout urchin
#

and epoch

ruby lion
#

Also this is just like, passively hostile to mechanically slower or limited players

devout urchin
#

and what isn't them just require a lot of CPS

devout urchin
#

I'm very slow mechanically

Like, I’m capable of pulling off hard shit in video games, but my fingers just cannot manage that kinda clickspeed 😭

#

The only reason I was able to beat bloodbath in geometry dash is cause it does not require absurd cps

#

Shade is a good compromise here, I feel

#

Other than some npcs that jank out and spin, it’s not brainless to play but manages to still have easily overlookable gameplay pacing

devout urchin
#

sharp will also be compromise after rework

#

trapper kinda is already

#

if you need to time your backstab with the rapid spinning of a corkus armored tank it suddenly becomes less fun but yk

devout urchin
#

acolyte kinda is too

ruby lion
#

Aco is weird cause you’re so incentivised to keep sitting in one spot around your totems and just heal through the pain

#

but yeah if you play some complex reso shenanigans, absolutely

devout urchin
#

reso complex?

devout urchin
#

all I hear near reso is just sorrow proccing over and over

ruby lion
#

but other than that it’s just sorrow spam yeah xD

I know exactly how old poison worked so no need to tell me btw...

white palm
graceful trench
#

not at all

#

especially by how it worked with builds

#

imagine a tank that deals tons of dmg without moving, even there it was used as a pvp strategy against healers, which was against the basic rule of rock paper, scisors.
Healer > tank
Tank > DPS
DPS > Healer

#

back then, that was the way of balancing op stuff because usually meta was mostly about pvp

#

healer got nerfed the moment that base healing got reduced

#

dps got nerfed the moment LS/MS didn't work with spells

#

tanks got nerfed the moment thorns was killed

white palm
#

Pvp as in hunted or as in the nether portal, cause like the only meta was using toxo and winning instantly lmao...

graceful trench
#

latter in gavel was not much relevant with the introduction of more items

white palm
#

ok so say nether instead of pvp

graceful trench
#

but the concept of how those roles worked was a insign of how broken was something
