'niche' splits it in 3
amulet affix
skill affix
3rd one is cool ig

#

Velocity as-is is only useful if you have swift sword this makes speed boosts more useful in actually cool ways

#

There is a bit too much overlap with existing abilities

magic skiff Jul 18, 2023, 4:09 PM

#

I would say its in need of a buff/change

#

it's boring and doesn't do a lot

flat snow Jul 18, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

I agree and I think this is a workable idea for that change

magic skiff Jul 18, 2023, 8:11 PM

#

it's used for speed

flat snow Jul 18, 2023, 8:13 PM

#

You say that like there are speed builds outside of Swift sword

magic skiff Jul 18, 2023, 8:15 PM

#

if you wanna go fast for the sake of being fast

#

some people like being fast

#

yeah

#

time door kinda but

#

there's time based mutations too

#

and crit effects to an extent

#

yeah but it's literally an affix

#

electrify nearby enemies or something

#

on skills

#

I don't agree with open wounds either

distant citrus Jul 18, 2023, 9:10 PM

#

yea but its boring if its an affix

#

also it literally does the exact same thing as crows wings

#

if you want electric speed boosts use crows wings

magic skiff Jul 18, 2023, 10:09 PM

#

balance wise nobody would take these because they can simply be found as affixes

#

3rd one seems cool but not very helpful

#

yeah but even less people would take any of these

magic skiff Jul 18, 2023, 10:28 PM

#

you asked me to talk about balance

distant citrus Jul 19, 2023, 12:31 AM

#

no???

#

the problem is not that its similar the problem is its exactly the same

#

and yes if it is the exact same thing its bad

#

we arent, we are just giving criticism and feedback.

#

Shock runner and stun runner seem cool, though I think maybe the stun aspect could be buffed a tad bit

#

Fire runner is also pretty neat. It's not really like the rolling affix for amulets since it would be constant with a speed boost active

flat snow Jul 24, 2023, 4:48 AM

#

There’s also a fire one for running

#

distant citrus and yes if it is the exact same thing its bad

I disagree, giving multiple source of the same thing mean opening up more fun. Well atleast for me

distant citrus Jul 24, 2023, 10:36 AM

#

I think I understand what you mean, but if there are two somewhat complex effects that do exactly the same thing it feels somewhat uncreative and boring. It’d be better if the two effects were similar or synergised together but if they are exactly the same, then the moment you get one, the other becomes useless.

good examples of effects that are similar or synergise, but aren’t the same are vengance and spite sword or shraxes and ripper

There's already several affixes with similar or even the same type of buff as mutations

distant citrus Jul 24, 2023, 10:37 AM

which ones

stray remnant Jul 24, 2023, 10:37 AM

#

distant citrus which ones

Support is the same as a turret affix that boosts damage

#

Open wounds does the same thing as bleed on hit

distant citrus Jul 24, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

stray remnant Open wounds does the same thing as bleed on hit

open wounds is bad and should be changed

stray remnant Jul 24, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

Right but you get my point

distant citrus Jul 24, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

yea

stray remnant Jul 24, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

And fire runner still also has a secondary bonus

distant citrus Jul 24, 2023, 10:40 AM

#

fair, still not sure about how I feel about splitting velocity into three muts though

stray remnant Jul 24, 2023, 10:42 AM

#

Isn't fire runner just velocity with a fire bonus?

#

The other two are completely unique

distant citrus Jul 24, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

shock runner is a lesser version of crows wings

#

i really like the survival one though

stray remnant Jul 24, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

distant citrus shock runner is a lesser version of crows wings

Somewhat, it doesn't boost the kill combo speed buff

#

The survival one seems iffy to me

#

I feel like people would just use it for the damage bonus and not for the supposed main function of running into enemies to stun them

#

Which would be kinda jank since you couldn't run into anything

magic skiff Jul 24, 2023, 10:50 AM

#

max 90 lol

lost raptor Jul 24, 2023, 3:45 PM

#

Stun runner + berserker is real

stray remnant Jul 25, 2023, 1:59 AM

#

I think having the stun and dr boost on the same mutation is a little contradictory

no its pretty good when combo'd with frenzy mutation and combo weapons like the dagger of profit, or balanced blade

magic skiff Jul 25, 2023, 10:55 AM

#

these ones are cool

#

the idea of more damage if kill enemy while fast is cool

distant citrus Jul 25, 2023, 10:57 AM

#

oh these ones are awsome wth

stray remnant Jul 25, 2023, 11:27 AM

#

I like the idea of speed boost builds

stray remnant Jul 25, 2023, 11:54 AM

#

I want an affix that boosts damage while you have an active one
