#Make Inhibitor usable to experience newly added content without having to make a class.

Basically the title, now Inhibitor is unplayable, only reasonably capable of dealing damage with poison. But what if it made you adapt to the enemies you're currently fighting? For you to have a challenge and experience content you're already way past without having to make an entire new character? After all, that's how it works for Qira. It could even be something as simple as making you have stats of around a lv. 20-40 character. I think this would be a great use for the item, rather than just being a joke-one, or only lore-relevant for Qira. This would also make the item more desirable (I'd also make it's chance a little bit bigger if the suggestion were to take a place)

I don't think this would be that hard to do, as world events & raids basically already have this functionality. But tell me if I'm wrong

-# Can't u just put on low lvl gear, sp, ap, and disable aspects & tomes. That doesn't require a new class

#

this seems like way more effort than what its worth lol

#

not only would someone have to go through a potentially big slog of a grind they’d then have to want to use it for this incredibly niche purpose

#

if this were to be introduced it should just be its own mechanic present regardless of having to wear a really rare item

cool idea but not worth it to implement for a giga rare easter egg item

if you want a challenge i would recommend self-imposing them, like try to limit your stats or go naked

keen copper
#

but that's the point

valid belfry
#

Ah yes because grinding a high lvl boss for a 1 in 1000 drop is convenient

keen copper
#

It's in the message

#

But I do get your point

it's a suggestion after all

Ngl i wish fool eater would drop a bow with that mId instead of helmet or whatever

glad void
#

honestly
would like inhibitor to have a lvl 1 req

#

would be a fun challenge

#

Yeah just leave inhibtor alone and add a new challenge mode withr quest boss scaling and more stuff or smth

keen copper
#

either works

This was not meant to be a Secret Challenge Mode item. It is an easter egg. We are not ever going to make it more common or add extra purpose to it. Not to mention, the idea of making an item that somehow scales your stats dependent on the enemy's level and stats would be immensely complicated, requiring an entirely new system from the scaling functionality we currently have.

#

Inhibitor is meant to be unusable (qira is just too stronk)

tight hornet
#

inhibitor is usable with raw spell stack

#

and even more obviously with heavy melee

#

Imagine not knowing what Inhibitor is used for

keen copper
#

but yeah good points

A better suggestion would be for more qira lore, because I need context to this item’s lore

keen copper
#

Crafted from her slaves tears

#

Near to whole gavel is in need of a remake tbh so theyll get to it eventually

#

In 2040

Im for interested in the “who made it” side of inhibitor. Was it made by Qira or for Qira? Was it a punishment or a self-reflection kind of thing? And, if it’s made for her by someone else, who is this person, and what are they like?

#

To the lore discussions

supple radish
#

Qira made it so she can flex with her powers

#

I'm pretty sure she made it to hold back while fighting you so you have a chance

shy skiff
#

and lore suggests something else

#

Flip side of the coin, kinda: No-Inhibitor Qira fight?

#

Could probably make it so that per class, after you get an Inhibitor drop, Qira loses the Inhibitor for the next fight(s)

#

but what if. you want to get twelve bank pages of master catalysts

#

I mean 1, it'd be an absurdly rare easter egg, so who cares, and 2, you can just dodge

copper peak
#

Inhibitor is not as crippling as people think it is

#

at least for qira‘s main attack its genuinely not doing that much, it’d be very much survivable with a defensive enough build

#

effectively what I’m saying is qira is absolutely not a fraud but she also like, doesn’t become all powerful the moment the chestplate comes off

#

just use burger and only cast spells when at full hp and she‘s still cooked

rigid shell
#

(If you were talking to me) I meant a battle with Qira where she's buffed with the same numbers as if she's no longer wearing the Inhibitor (because she dropped it and you took it)

copper peak
#

was just generally chiming in to people saying she‘d onehit without the inhibitor

rigid shell
#

gotcha, carry on then like

copper peak
#

Has anyone done the t1 powder trick on inhibitor to just completely bypass its gimmick yet

#

Completely irrelevant to lore since it’s clearly an unintended gameplay mechanic but I’m just curious

#

there don’t seem to be enough elemental raw items in the correct gear slots to get melee to work, I think

tight hornet
#

The added 3-5k spell dmg raw depending on her spell ratios could very well oneshot (for example if she barely cancels out inhibitor raw and has super high spell dmg in her tree)

#

She could also have just really high dps and barely cancel out the %spell and have enough dmg with -99% spell to fully cancel out the raw and do good dmg (in which case her base DPS would have to be at the very least 300k), and she'd be hella strong without

#

Also maybe she regens 1 mana/5s, and has cheap spells, in which case she can spam 14 times at much when removing it

# tight hornet Huh?

Raw damage applies in equal proportions across all the elements of your base damage, meaning that if you have a 1000 negative raw damage and your weapon does 999 neutral and 1 fire damage the neutral damage is hit with -999 and the fire damage is hit with -1 of that raw damage

#

if you then have a raw damage of a specific element, it can easily outpower that much smaller fraction of -raw

#

take Contrail Shock and Hadal powdered with w6w6f1; Contrail Shock has -25k raw melee, but about 99% of that goes into the weapons water damage, and the fire damage is hit with a tiny amount of that raw

young reef
#

I can assure you you all are thinking way harder about this than I did

copper peak
#

Same way you could trick inhibitor into applying all of its negative raw on one element and then boosting whatever other elements by stacking raw spell for it specifically

copper peak
#

Though I’d argue you can’t really apply normal stats to her, since inhibitor does have -210% spell damage alone so she should be doing no damage whatsoever while wearing no other armor if we assume she has player-like stats

#

I’m just going off the idea that a player can realistically bypass the nerf from inhibitor without being obliterated too terribly, so it’s power decrease wouldn‘t be super crippling and taking it off would just make qira go from strong to super strong but not insurmountable or godlike.

#

eh what do I know

#

Selvut would know

tight hornet
#

And for like 99% of builds inhibitor sets your dmg to 0

tight hornet
#

you're way better off just canceling the -raw entirely with just dawnbreak

copper peak
#

Yeah which is what you‘d want to do, although the elemental bypass option is funnier

Nah glissando raw stack is the way to go
