New skill ideas. (in General)

These *ALWAYS* come up, and I've posted these before, but I will do it again, because it is changemonth time =).

Keen Swordsmanship: Trained to 1/4 of STR, reduces damage done by the tank training it and increases PTH.

Fencing Master: Trained to 1/4 of DX, allows for a Riposte on 30% of missed blows by the opponent tank.



So there you have it.

More tank skills BMW? dont we have enough of those already?
If Jon is crazy enough to implement new skills let them be for mages.

Something in the line of Focus or Spell craft
Focus: trained to 1/4 of DD, improves rate of fire (double hits in ranged rounds)
Spell craft: trained to 1/4 of DD, reduces backlash of AMF

Overpower: Like the old version of BL, increases damage while increasing the damage taken. But for mages. While we're at it, why not change BL back, too, so there's a penalty to it? =D

keep BL the same, add a penalty to your overpower idea instead :P

erm.. it's early, and I reread what you wrote.. I take back my post... lol

How about a skill were you drug the other teams beer the night before the fight?

another much needed EO:
Disintegrate: Lowers enemy AC. Starts lowering the armor + so its as effective for mages as tanks.

OK to prove I can be serious how about a spell that effects tats.&amulets in some limited way. Don't really need it but it would sure shake things up!

i like OB, because it FORCES you to make a choice, in between, not 2, but 4 skills for tanks.

most tanks are clear cut, if they have a big ELB they'll go archery, if big melee weapon, they'll go BL.

Disintegrate sounds awesome too.

Instead of Disintegrate, how about calling it 'Rust'. ;)

leather and trollskin isn't metal, well at least not in my world :P

not everything is metal, so it cannot 'rust' disintegrate FTW!

Imo all are overpowered...

Keen Swordsmanship: Trained to 1/4 of STR, reduces damage done by the tank training it and increases PTH.


Mage with 20 DX, skill trained base, instant complete reduction.

I think you misread shade, it doesnt reduce damage done to the minion with it trained, if your tank has it trained, he deals less damage in exchange for more hits

Ahhh, indeed I misread... render my messages non existing then :)

because Rust wouldn't work as well for leather armors gl ;)

From Dictionary.com;

4. any growth, habit, influence, or agency tending to injure, deteriorate, or impair the mind, character, abilities, usefulness, etc.

9. to deteriorate or become impaired, as through inaction or disuse.

:P

How about 'Putrefy'

how about disintegrate sound cooler then :P

Discombobulate. Heck yes.

/me wants to see a skill that allows to you double the damage taken to a minion with it trained and return half the damage dealt to minion who did it
Ex: if a minion would deal 100k to a minion with 1 mil HP. That damage is doubled so it deals 200k to the minion. But it also retaliates back with 100k damage to minion who dealt it.

Basically a sacrifical GA or AMF. Seems good to me and gives a way to really stop those gigantic damage dealers. The skill would cost like 200k exp and would have an auto effect.

To stop it from being overpowered you could of course make it so the minion who took the damage had the HP to double it.

Ex: 200k HP on the minion with it trained

105k damage is dealt. No double or retaliation effect. It HAS to be able to double for it to factor in.
