yes I forgot the name

I'm so sorry

#

You Are Forgiven Just This Once

earnest junco
#

I only know like 2/3 of all quests and all endgame usable + some other items by heart

#

I have to improve.

#

wynncraft 100% knowledge speedrun

west leaf
#

I think shaman would be the class wave would be worst on

earnest junco
#

why?

west leaf
#

direct clash of spell purposes between aura and wave

earnest junco
#

auralock the mob and then put a wave on it

frail bough
#

aura has the prison thing no?

rocky parcel
#

anyway if you're curious what my opinion in that is

west leaf
#

if only it were that simple in this CCI day and age

earnest junco
west leaf
#

and losing uproot utility would just be. really really bad

earnest junco
west leaf
#

and replacing aura with wave would be even worse

rocky parcel
#

i mean it as a general major id that changes a spell on every class

earnest junco
#

yes

frail bough
#

no totem resets will hurt probs

earnest junco
#

shaman needs aura

west leaf
#

I am not a fan of having two primary spells with purposes directly opposite of each other

#

aura pulls and wave pushes

earnest junco
#

uproot also pushes (with shift)

west leaf
#

mage is the most deserving of the unique mob spells

west leaf
rocky parcel
#

that's like

#

spell synergy 101

earnest junco
#

🤣

west leaf
#

ok wel perhaps I phrased that incorrectly

earnest junco
rocky parcel
#

well, as long as you forget about CCI when considering spell/class design, as any sensible person has to

amber spruce
#

(would they be utility or damage focused spells)

earnest junco
rocky parcel
#

first spell flamethrower for monster would be disappointing

west leaf
#

not necessarily differing effects but spells that actively reach into the other’s unique purpose and potentially harm them

earnest junco
#

easy fix

west leaf
#

doom

rocky parcel
#

i don't mean it in that way ingo

#

just what i said

#

it would be disappointing

earnest junco
#

why?

#

in which way

west leaf
#

kinda loses one of mage’s primary functions

#

and for what

rocky parcel
#

also not why

west leaf
#

how much damage would it deal

earnest junco
ivory schooner
#

+1 first spell

#

epic

west leaf
#

well that’s just because of heal

earnest junco
#

or even flipped

rocky parcel
#

it's literally just because flamethrower as spell would not be a mythic exclusive

#

and it doesn't really fit with monster

west leaf
#

fire mythic get fire

ivory schooner
#

give it to inferno

#

it deserves it

rocky parcel
#

it should just actually be a short range around monster with huge dot replacing heal, or something of the like

#

not flamethrower

west leaf
rocky parcel
#

equally

#

inferno getting flamethrower as major id would be qually disappointing

west leaf
#

maybe

#

flamethrower and wave are just poorly designed spells and should not be implemented at all into the base classes

rocky parcel
#

wave definitely has some merit

#

flamethrower would be more of the flashfreeze sorts

west leaf
#

merit yes? healthy I don’t know

rocky parcel
#

wdym healthy

west leaf
#

as in

#

you have a spell that is in fact powerful but would it exactly be good for balancing

#

cough cough

#

heal…

torpid crow
#

first spell as an offensive spell for monster would be great

rocky parcel
#

nipnop please refer back to my earlier statement

west leaf
#

again still don’t understand the CCI hate as to where it should be intentionally ignored and I feel it’s almost a sort of scapegoat for so many people nowadays

torpid crow
#

I'd envision it more like just an instant damage around it though

west leaf
#

there are many

#

earlier statements

#

also about flamethrower depending on the way it would actually work it’d probably step into the sort of smoke bomb territory as being a dot offensive spell that can be used in combination with other spells

#

so no I don’t think itd be the same as flashfreeze

rocky parcel
#

well

#

flamethrower if faithfully taken from the mob spell

#

let's say that

west leaf
#

hmm yea that’s what I was referring to

#

it’s just an aoe effect that slowly branches out from the mob

#

so long as there’s no weird junk with spell cancelling and what spell it would actually replace

#

itd be very similar to smoke bomb

#

which probably isn’t a bad thing?

rocky parcel
#

well, it'd be portable dot with likely less range

west leaf
#

again depending on what classes are actually getting it

earnest junco
#

Allow the player to have multiple flamethrowers at the same time 🙂

rocky parcel
#

so it's only so-so in being similar

#

haha no

#

if flamethrower as player spell would happen it'd just replace the previously cast flamethrower (similar to meteor except you don't have any waiting time so replacing/resetting actually functions well)

west leaf
rocky parcel
#

flamethrower player spell would likely have smaller aoe than smoke bomb

west leaf
#

perhaps

#

but this is just speculation at this point

#

also I could just be thinking of heavy flamethrower?

#

that’s a thing right?

#

which one would be the base for players

rocky parcel
#

likely normal flamethrower

west leaf
#

I don’t exactly remember the aoe differences between the two

#

hey is this a good place to talk about CCI :)

rocky parcel
#

if you want to

west leaf
#

I’d like to know what exactly are people’s gripes with it and why it’s so often described as the spawn of satan (and for pure discussion it’s best to ignore bugs, haHA, all forms of damage triggering the knockback timer 🥰)

#

if you asked me, the biggest flaw that exists is the timer-based system in and of itself

#

wynn’s spell combat system completely revolves around spam casting (sorry heavy spell fans) and so unless you were to intentionally cease casting (which I don’t think is good design to force) the timer based system will never be “strategic”

#

more of an issue for knockback than blindness and slowness but it does apply to those as well

#

when your primary form of damage output consists of utilizing two specific dps spells (and occasionally utility) you’ll never have an opportunity to “effectively” use your crowd control effect when it’s completely based off of mob spell timers anyways

#

people have discussed changing the way knockback in specific works by essentially giving certain mobs/bosses varying levels of “weight” and resistance to knockback effects which is honestly the much better course of action because you still weaken the potential of things such as arrow storm push/ aura pull while not limiting the player to obscure timers that aren’t guaranteed to always be optimally available

#

for blindness and slowness it’s a different story because how do you limit these effects while still being fair to the various effects on all of the class’ different spells

#

of course, if the timer based system would be preferable (which I don’t think it ever will be unless wynn’s spell combat were fundamentally changed) it suffers from issues such as uneven distribution of “effectiveness” between spells due to only allowing for a brief moment of vulnerability whenever a mob does not have CCI

#

not to mention funny team scenarios with differing spells all taking priority over each other and the best change to such could involve timers unique to each individual player (but I don’t know how easy such a system would be to implement)

#

I just don’t see why people see CCI as the spawn of the devil as giving bosses varying levels of resistances only adds to potential design choices and is almost out of pure necessity with spells like spin attack and wind prison existing

#

(that’s the name of the aura effect right)

#

(this is also ignoring all the bugs related to CCI, lol)

rocky parcel
#

well, you kinda described exactly why CCI is awful

west leaf
#

I described why the current design of CCI is flawed yes

rocky parcel
#

i don't understand the point you're trying to make then

west leaf
#

uh

#

slight change and it good

#

there

#

when I see people say “remove cci” without offering any alternatives it brings me pain

rocky parcel
#

so you want to go back to the previous incarnation of CCI?

west leaf
#

that’s

#

not what I said in any remote way

#

at all

#

the previous incarnation was literally just all or nothing

rocky parcel
#

well, aside from the knockback becoming a percentage effect

west leaf
#

huh where does that relate to the previous incarnation of CCI

rocky parcel
#

anyway between CCI fucking extremely hard with the balance and gameplay of mage, shaman and warrior and directly taking tools away from the player instead of looking at those tools to begin with that's a very strong argument against CCI as a whole

west leaf
#

I suppose so the way I originally phrased my argument was about was weird in that I don’t exactly like current design of CCI very much either but I also entirely am a fan of the concept as a whole and would like to see improvements made

west leaf
rocky parcel
#

it exists because of shaman's aura trap and assassin's permablind
why to go the lengths of having a confusing & convoluted system that note bene flips balancing/designing on its head just to not even approach the balance change you were going for rather than just.. making aura trap's internal knockback less quick, and spin attack's blind getting changed

#

well ice snake meteor doesn't work for one on faster mobs

west leaf
#

I’ve yet to hear of this

#

could you elaborate

rocky parcel
#

i've experienced mobs running out of my meteor range after casting it WITH PURE

west leaf
#

as in

rocky parcel
#

and you can't stop them with ice snake because CCI

west leaf
#

the slowness effect literally does not apply?

#

there’s like

#

the initial stop of ice snake’s impact on a mob

#

and then a period of slowness that is applied

#

sounds like bugs saltroll

rocky parcel
#

i mean that i believe tasim for example can literally infinitely outrun mage meteor

west leaf
#

so neither effects are actually working

rocky parcel
#

there's no stun, or there's no stun for more than once every 10 seconds or whatever

#

which is required for meteor to actually hit those faster speed mobs

west leaf
#

I’ve been doing a new mage playthrough lately and I haven’t noticed this but I could look at it

#

yea sounds like a bug then lol

rocky parcel
#

well you don't really see any CCI on mobs until like level 80

#

actually maybe cow

west leaf
#

time trouble m oment

rocky parcel
#

i don't remember if that has cci

west leaf
#

bob m oment

rocky parcel
#

but it's certainly fast

west leaf
#

it does

#

cow?

#

or time troubles

#

because cow has slowness and blindness cci yes

#

no kb

#

my ice snake definitely had an effect on him when I fought it

rocky parcel
#

i believe ice snake's stop falls under knockback, weirdly enough

west leaf
#

it might which makes sense

#

at the same time

#

it’s a singular spell that toggles two timers

#

oh yea alternatively

#

as I’ve said the knockback timer is bugged and all forms of damage trigger it

#

lol

rocky parcel
#

also as for your point about potential design choices

#

this is false

west leaf
#

(even pets which is fucking hilarious)

rocky parcel
#

it actively takes away design choices

west leaf
#

I wouldn’t say that it literally limits your options, but moreso gives differing cc effects to various bosses which can be utilized in tangent with arena/ spell choices

rocky parcel
#

mobs don't actually gain anything from having CCI other than an arbitrary hardcounter to one or multiple of your tools, and i shouldn't have to explain why that's awful in a hack-n-slash combat game like wynn

west leaf
#

do you want to know a boss that I hate that actually limits player choices

#

I fucking hate the canyon colossus

#

everything about it is bad

#

it’s probably one of the few bosses in game that actively limits player options

rocky parcel
#

i think the fact that you can fall down in the arena is pretty neat

#

(that's about it)

west leaf
#

uh

#

I… guess

#

I’ve talked about it before but the colossus is so poorly designed as every single segment of the boss has a constant stream of all of: AOE spells (flamethrower), ranged spells (heavy arrow storm), and close ranged spells (explosion)

#

and the arena itself makes it even worse when closer ranged classes (primarily assassin) have mobility options limited (shaman as well to a much lesser extent because haul is effectively uncontrollable)

#

oh yea. have we talked about the hitboxes being midair either 🥰

rocky parcel
#

colossus feels like it tries to emulate the eye fight but without understanding what makes the eye fight so good and instead goes the path of the single actual problem in the eye fight
is how i can best describe it

west leaf
#

what’s that exact problem in the eye

rocky parcel
#

too many spells

west leaf
#

lul

west leaf
rocky parcel
#

assassin, shaman and warrior feel extremely awkward to ue in colossus fight

west leaf
#

warrior I think is a cut above the other two just because of how fucking massive upper and bash hitboxes are

#

so you have way more leeway

#

compared to assassin

rocky parcel
#

ok but that is also only because it's a mob frozen in place

west leaf
#

could say that about every class though

#

it’s a major problem with assassin because of how much closer ranged it is

#

and how much worse vanish is mobility wise compared to charge in the arena

#

same goes to haul but uh

rocky parcel
#

anyway still remains that the best way to deal with colossus is to spam bomb arrow from afar

west leaf
#

much lesser extent

rocky parcel
#

to an almost comical degree

west leaf
#

yea. that’s uh. another thing

#

archer cheesing the entire fight

#

at least in the eye

#

those wretches shoot at you in the back in later phases

rocky parcel
#

honestly i don't even think there should be a direct "archer counter" or whatever

west leaf
#

I hate archer in general 🥰

rocky parcel
#

can't say i personally enjoy playing as archer either

#

but overall design-wise it is ok

west leaf
#

ok well the thing is

#

for me it’s the opposite

#

I enjoy playing it

#

I despise it design wise

rocky parcel
#

design wise it has things that work but then has a few details about it that go exactly against how it works

#

similar thing happened with assassin

west leaf
#

well ignoring arrow shield entirely I suppose it’s moreso the fault of specific arenas (TCC) than archer itself but the problem is such scenarios are plentiful

rocky parcel
#

it has the arrow shield - arrow storm dynamic of getting in close and then retreating again
..but then arrow storm starts outside of arrow shield when it's up (also arrow shield having three charges is not unreasonable but doesn't help)

#

and arrow bomb is just a consistently excellent damage output method as well to the point where arrow storm could be forgotten about and it'd still be a very good damage output class

west leaf
#

I guess because I primarily play raids I see the faults of archer more than usual, I very much actually enjoy the fast paced playstyle

rocky parcel
#

for assassin, it has an enormously powerful escape mechanic, so you can get in close and then vanish for invisibility and both retreat and approach however you want to, which plays off of assassins generally low range spells

but then the uber defensive tool got the hugest damage boost ever, and also became the uber offensive tool...?

rocky parcel
#

the lack of actual risk-reward is the issue

west leaf
#

I dunno I kinda like vanish essentially being it’s quintessential spell

#

akin to totem

rocky parcel
#

arrow storm is supposed to be a risky spell

west leaf
#

this is a certified nighthawk moment

#

or hawkeye the id is called I usually just use those interchangeably

rocky parcel
#

yeah, hawkeye took the risk-reward away from arrow storm too

#

and look how that turned out

west leaf
#

it’s pretty rare to see nowadays though ngl

rocky parcel
#

yeah because it had to be hardnerfed like four times until it was weaker than arrow storm numerically

west leaf
#

yea most people prefer damage output over safety

#

and it’s overall just

#

more fun

#

god though. raid (while being a visual spectacle) design makes me mald at times despite how much I claim to love it

#

and I wish there were more active communication in how it’s being handled

#

(how many gms even care about raids)

torpid crow

quetzalcoatl: lame as hell generic rawstack

epoch: not super cool imo, ok
oblivion: cool gimmick, underpowered
immolation: neat, ok

earnest junco
#

So we can know what you said is true

earnest junco
#

It has no positive ID

#

It needs a major ID

#

And a damn powerful one

rocky parcel
#

it does not, and will not, have a major id

#

i am genuine when i say inhibitor is "not an item relevant to anyone"

earnest junco
#

Why

odd condor
#

it is literally intended to be useless

#

that's the entire point

odd condor
#

but yeah the level req and the name really gives me an idea of the origin of the item

earnest junco
# rocky parcel .

Why would they add an item that exists solely for the sake of existing?

#

Maybe you dont know their plans yet?

odd condor
#

bart is an im
he knows the plans of the item

#

and the plan is that it does nothing

#

read its name ingo

#

its literally called inhibitor

earnest junco
#

But why

#

Maybe it has to be used in a quest?

#

It has to have an use.

#

I cant believe they'd add something that does nothing

odd condor
#

ingo
there are stuff we call flavor items

earnest junco
earnest junco
odd condor
#

ingo a flavor item is meant to be literally just nothing but something to look at rather than use

earnest junco
ivory schooner
#

i agree with ingo

#

why

odd condor
#

you two are really overthinking it

onyx zephyr
#

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

#

it was supposed to be an easter egg, dropped appropriately

#

but guess what? it was revealed wrongly

#

there is your answer

#

easter egg, but ruined and found under no context

odd condor
#

and now its deleted from the beta

west leaf
#

I’m still under the impression that since the method of acquisition wasn’t leaked i don’t see why it had to have been removed

#

yea ok people will intentionally look for it now whatever

#

such a shame that a potentially cool Easter egg just has to be tossed out like that

#

(although there is the possibility IMs will secretly add something to replace it)

amber spruce
#

Ok let's be real it's just rng drop from qira

west leaf
#

mhm

#

“supposed to be found completely randomly”

#

is an item that matches qira’s lore

#

selvut especially was upset

#

yea

#

def a qira drop

rocky parcel
#

selvut was upset because travis made a whole ass video on the item that was intended to be extremely remote and unknown

west leaf
#

Travis…

amber spruce
west leaf
rocky parcel
#

well selvut came up with the idea of having an item like inhibitor

#

would you not be upset if your item was, quite honestly, ruined

west leaf
#

oh yea of course what I meant by “selvut was especially upset” was not that I was mocking him in any way it’s just that the qira hive is selvut’s love child so it made sense to believe it’s a qira drop

wicked juniper
#

i imagine it's related to qira but i really doubt it would outright drop from her

young flame

Galleon buff buff 🥺

what even is the deal with convergence

#

what is its gimmick

#

I do not understand

#

it’s like it has just a bunch of a random stats thrown on it

hoary chasm
#

gimmick is uppercut

rocky parcel
#

no no nipnop has the right idea (except it's not entirely random)

hoary chasm
#

air defence and sp regen !

#

Convergance means like coming together right

west leaf
#

you’re right it has one relevant stat being third cost

but the rest is all over the place

(actually hpr% isn’t bad either)

but shaman triple beam trolling

#

oblivion seems funny to use

amber spruce
#

Buff oblivion ngl

hoary chasm
#

I havent built really at all with oblivion yet but is it comparable to grim damage in ETW with just a massive downside

earnest junco
#

Give oblivion 30 int maybe?

west leaf
#

i said it was funny

#

not good

vagrant junco
#

idk i feel like it just needs more dmg

#

it seems like a much worse cata ngl

#

ik the playstyles are different but it just seems to get outclassed by a ton

hoary chasm
#

I think it’s damage is fine but doesn’t out weigh it’s downside, it needs something other than direct damage change to make it better

vagrant junco
#

its downside is what makes its playstyle cool

#

idek how much the -mr would hurt it bc aslong as ur keeping track it wont change much

#

idk maybe 30 int would fix it but i feel like it just needs more of some type of damage

hoary chasm
#

So if the downside isn’t that much in your opinion why does it deserve better damage than other mythic daggers other than cata which lays out from the rest

vagrant junco
#

but like it doesnt even beat grim out in terms of dmg and weath has a good major id and dmg

#

it just seems lackluster compared to the other daggers

#

idk maybe im just overestimating how high catas dmg will be post .4 but idk

amber spruce
#

P sure he was talking about oblivion not cata

#

rn I see oblivion as basically just cata but you lose 10% damage and 7mr

wary meadow
#

I think Oblivion might deal slightly less damage than Cata even after the nerf

#

So Oblivion could use a bit of a buff

#

Or, Cata might still be overpowered

#

I dunno

amber spruce
#

does significantly less than cata if you mana cancel

#

cata is still overpowered

is that there's not much you can do to separate shaman specifically

But slapping sp can make an item much better but it just doesn’t mean it’s a good fox

topic: life steal versus health regen

west leaf
#

that is a less than symbol

rocky parcel
#

why does your game sound like it's being played underwater

#

anyway yeah life steal generally is better for raw sustain numbers (unless specifically built for and with the aid of mythics)

#

also looking for specifics on how much life steal matters on individual items compared to having health regen and such

#

interested what people think of those sorts of considerations

west leaf
#

what does that mean

#

also i myself just prefer hpr

#

in general i dont like stealing based builds outside of assassin and mage

#

and its way easier to slap hpr tomes than ls tomes

#

there should probably be a larger difference in the amount hpr and ls tomes give too btw

#

everlasting gets 78 hpr and vampiric gets... 115 ls? im not sure

amber spruce
#

Laugh at this user

torpid crow
#

the existence of % hpr prior to the nerfs rendered them pretty comparable imo

rocky parcel
west leaf
#

goes to show how much I don’t care about stealing

wicked juniper
#

i like ls because it's more useful for quick bursts of heals which is what i primarily use it for

native barn
#

bart

#

add %stealing tomes

#

😳

earnest junco
#

In TCC generally ls is better but in the water bucket room you need hpr when standing on the platform so that's why I'd say they're equal

wicked juniper

strategy: have someone else stand on the platform

rocky parcel

strategy: just kill the flying mobs saltroll

ivory schooner
#

true

native barn
#

Can you buff Greed? It really has no use while potentially being THE ONLY THING that can heal the user while not having a mage. We either should have more ways of getting healed without a mage or we need a buff for greed

#

like a cooldown buff or a healing buff

ivory schooner
#

dont think greed deserves a buff but i agree that having more ways of healing would be cool

#

on the other hand, shaman and rally exist

native barn
native barn
#

fair for rally

#

but shaman healing....

ivory schooner
#

sfast melee uses greed quite often and its not bad

#

shaman healing can be good if you build it to be good

^

#

first time ive heard that greed needs a buff lol

ivory schooner
#

it's enough for something like tcc

ivory schooner
#

i think greed is fine as it is

west leaf
#

if anything greed as a major ID is lame by completely shifting the purpose of a specific ID to something else and becoming its sole distinction (granted, stealing is often considered a flavor ID, at least prior to greed, but i feel greed should have been introduced as something entirely different and stealing as itself be buffed)

#

but thats just me

#

as is its just really strong lol

rocky parcel
#

personally think greed's fine too if not a little on the powerful side still

when in reality its still super strong

young flame
#

people just recently been using it less because exploited is well, its assassin and okr lost its stealing iirc so the build needs stealing in other pieces for okr to work

they said

"there were more items that were going to get added but they couldnt be agreed upon"

heal cost just not that important

odd condor

yeah deye does the job almost always

for mage

native barn
#

i honestly dont like the current situation of the mage that much because it is not "mage" , it is "healer" rn

rocky parcel
#

when i say a little more damage i mean like double

#

iirc it's currently 70% spell multiplier which is laughable

west leaf
#

i like mage because it has the largest degree of varying spells of every class

rocky parcel
#

mage really isn't healer

west leaf
#

problem is most of them either get overshadowed by heal or uh

rocky parcel
#

it just isn't built around spamming spells as fast as you're physically able to like assassin and archer are

west leaf
#

get shafted by CCI.

rocky parcel
#

which is part of what makes it my favorite class

ivory schooner
#

eh mage is kind of a healer rn

rocky parcel
#

which in turn is likely part of why i detest CCI

odd condor
#

cci is what we call a leash

native barn
#

but

#

i havent been playing wynn for months now so

west leaf
#

ice snake by far my favorite utility spell in game ☺️

odd condor
#

same

#

also yeah mage's spells are honestly all top tier

rocky parcel
#

i'm not sure where that analogy comes in but if it means "taking away tools from the player purely for the sake of not being able to otherwise give the player a challenging mob to fight is just really bad design and shouldn't be done"

west leaf
#

except maybe meteor

#

actually yea meteor isnt really top tier

odd condor
rocky parcel
#

meteor actually has high damage

#

just low dps

#

and that's great

odd condor
#

yea it has really high damage

#

considering the base of wands suck

rocky parcel
#

mage has no need to be a healer class but it does just do less damage than any other class by standard

#

same with shaman generally having the second worst damage output

#

a dedicated heal option on a class is just that powerul

#

note that that doesn't stop either class from going hard into damage

#

but they just won't ever quite reach the glassiness that, say, assassin or archer can

west leaf
#

nerf heal buff meteor

why

i think meteors numbers are in a very good spot rn

m

native barn
rocky parcel
#

but lose it's "front heavy" heal part

#

old 10/10/10 heals were better than any subsequent numbers we've had imo

#

though personally i'd like to see it be something like 8/10/12

west leaf
#

and what is it now

#

20/5/5?

#

i mean thats what id consider a nerf

rocky parcel
#

atm i think it's 12/6/6 but it was changed so many times in such rapid succession i'm honestly not even certain

west leaf
#

loses its spammability factor

rocky parcel
#

oh yeah allies are still at 20/5/5

#

that's also a thing

#

both of u guys managed to get it correct

rocky parcel
#

that's really wack

native barn
#

true wynncraft fans

odd condor
west leaf
west leaf
rocky parcel
#

in that case i guess we agree

#

not on meteor needing a buff though. sry

west leaf
#

you barely even changed the total amount healed but what makes heal so strong is that its so incredibly spammable

rocky parcel
#

i'm aware

west leaf
#

the only points of the game where heal is actually balanced is within early/midgame or with more melee/poison oriented builds

#

but then it becomes a massive problem in endgame

rocky parcel
#

i do personally think that 12/6/6 -> 8/10/12 or 10/10/10 is still a buff though

#

at least in the way i play mage, i very often at least reach the second pulse

west leaf
#

well its not like you're using heal 24/7

#

(if you are, man)

rocky parcel
native barn
#

make heal damage the enemies by 900k

torpid crow
#

mage dmg output is fine but it doesn't scale in dmg output as well as archer and assassin

rocky parcel
#

i used to actually cycle with heal before it was cool required through CCI

torpid crow
#

which makes it fall off pretty badly for high cps players

rocky parcel
#

archer is literally the fuck off damage class

west leaf
#

id probably make it even harsher than 8/10/12 but eventually, like, you start to ask yourself

rocky parcel
#

it's almost designed to be dummy powerful

#

assassin being the highest damage output class is fine imo

west leaf
#

at what point does this basically just become shaman over time aoe healing

rocky parcel
#

it should really be

#

archer should return to being more risk-reward

west leaf
#

ive always cycled with ice snake anyways regardless of what iteration of cci

rocky parcel
#

even if i'm afraid that won't hold up too well between some recently added content

native barn
#

bart do u think assassin isnt balanced

rocky parcel
#

unless specifically minions start being difficult

rocky parcel
odd condor
#

also maybe cutting down on the blind on spin

west leaf
#

i dont care whether archer or assassin has higher dps because as long as theyre similar thats fine by me since both classes' spells are inherently designed to be damage oriented and they simply have differing ways of avoiding being hit and accomplishing a similar goal

#

what exactly is with the vanish hate again

#

im legitimately confused

#

with the introduction of CCI and overall design of new raids and bosses it feels quite balanced

#

maybe reduce its damage buff so it isnt necessarily as required? especially since it giga buffs heavy melee arbitrarily

rocky parcel
#

it's two opposite design goals mushed into one spell, it's inherently broken with the way potion effect boosts affect raw melee and such, it's too cps gatekeeping, it's ruined assassin gameplay for me personally

native barn
#

vanish even grants resistance

#

lol

west leaf
#

mmm it does boost heavy melee way too fucking much

native barn
#

i believe that assassin gameplay based around vanish is a fine concept

#

but his damage is too high

west leaf
#

shrug

#

i always enjoyed assassin being the most "combo" oriented class

native barn
#

but decreasing damage buff makes it rely on vanish less

#

so maybe decrease assassin dmg but make vanish stay the same

west leaf

(they claim shaman to be but it really isnt)

the best change imo would be having it sit at like, half or even a bit under half of the current damage boost and make the lingering effect be 4 instead of 2 seconds and maybe double vanish's length

shaman just sucks imo

no matter how strong heavy melee gets,

#

it just gets outclassed by tierstack

#

in every single aspect

rocky parcel
#

shaman isn't really a combo class, being reliant on other spells for a spell to work can't be compared to individual spells having excellent synergy

native barn
#

and by that i mean every single aspect

west leaf
#

not really true

good it's kinda supposed to be the tankier and much lower damage option

west leaf
#

in general being able to have damage output in bursts is typically superior to longer streams

rocky parcel
#

partially because heavy melee can work with practically every weapon (pls ignore reqs and all that you know what i mean here)

native barn
#

u can make like

#

a crafted weapon

#

with like

west leaf
#

you can focus more on actively dodging attacks whilst having minimal attention on attacking yourself, main problem is if you, like, miss

native barn
#

150 def 150 agi

#

and still use it with heavy melee

west leaf
#

heavy melee also gets way more consistent stealing properties than tierstack

native barn
west leaf
#

both higher dps and ehp than heavy melee

Sustain tho

native barn
amber spruce
#

heavy melee nutty sustain

west leaf
#

heavy melee should always be the less damaging option

#

just because of the utility i mentioned of burst damage and because of the fact it requires less cps

rocky parcel
#

melee is kinda divided into

  • EFA-ish rawstack for decent damage good tankiness
  • TFA-ish tierstack for good damage decent tankiness
  • ETF-ish heavy melee for good damage decent tankiness (but different)
  • ETF-ish tierstack for very good damage and poor tankiness
  • ETA-ish tierstack for excellent damage and very little tankiness
  • quad quad quad quad quad quad quad
