DF uses Boost in its calculations. 1 point of Boost is 1% more damage. In this case base attack is +20% and Ray is +45%, leaving a 25% damage gap between them. You can divide it like that if you want, but that's why your math isn't adding up. Boost is far easier to calculate in terms of getting damage ranges for skills. The only types of effects that would work on are DoT's in which they use Min / (number) and Max / (number) to get their ranges.

I think the armor needs some minor changes considering it must be on the top of tier 2

quote:

This is a tier 2 class BUT I gave it a "special offer" bonus to offset some of the things I did on it.

quote:

Yeh yeh my old extreme cursed skeleton budy told me:

quote:

It happens because old guardian has a skill that gives +25 crit for 10 turns and old guardian rage has 2 turns cd and hurts more than the new rage.

quote:

Guardian Heroes: I don't like the combination of a normal/strong blind (50 or more) combined with a powerboost nerf. It makes the minor effect feel useless at times. I would suggest to either reduce the blind and empower the powerboost nerf like pirate or remove the powerboost nerf (move it to another skill). Also I think that a +1 turn for duration and cooldown would be great to make the rotation:

quote:

In case you disagree I would move the suggestion to a +1 duration and +1 cd for vortex.

quote:

Ray of light: I would suggest 1 of 3 options:
1-Make it a secondary mult hit.
2-Give it the -powerboost nerf from guardian heroes (my favourite option).
3-Increase damage,mana cost and reduce cd to 1 (make it a spammale skill like ninja and pirate).

quote:

Spiral Carve: Let's say that pirate stun... 5% more dmg, 10 less mana and 3 cd less... I just leave it there. I don't say that it must be an exact copy but it needs a small improvement.

quote:

Awethur's Fury: I think it needs more damage (sorry I said I wouldn't be asking for damage but I find it rather weak for the huge CD it has). A +50min/max would be okay even if the mana cost increases.

quote:

Health drain/Mana drain: I think that the Health drain cd should be 1 turn lower and the mana drain cd 2 or 3 turns higher. 7 turns for the mana drain feels like wasted potential that can go to somewhere else (necro mana regen has 9 turns. PKL has 12).

quote:

The class has a shield and I feel it needs an extra for having it like a +1 at base defenses like dragonlord or maybe an awethur 1% passive like: "everytime your turn finishes you have a 1% chance to proc "can't touch this". When that happens all the incoming damage you receive for that turn will be 0".

quote:

Old Rage skill deals Round Up (Min/12) - (Max/12). The new one deals 20% per hit. So if we were to use the handy dandy medium range weapon of 60-60 that's 70 total for the old skill ((60/12)*14) and ((60*.2)*14) or 168 for the new. Please tell me how that's "more than the new rage"?

quote:

@Evangel lol, I find that too funny, given how Guardian class uses its shield on its attack, if it were easy, I would like EDL/DL to have the shield animation in "Awethur's Fury" to be used on their Shield Bash skill, because as it stands, Guardian class really bashes the enemy with its shield unlike EDL/DL which is like they are just grazing the enemy with it when they use Shield bash. On the weight thing, the way Guardian uses his shield on the final animation of Guardian Rage certainly has weight to it, same for how they use Defend when they plant the shield on the ground

quote:

@Evangel - You're not the only one; Cronix is great at static art and even effects and such, but his animation of character movements definitely needs some more work. Still, you can see the improvement between ACCL and Guardian (meaning Guardian is way better in that regard), so I'm sure he'll be churning out Tomix-level animations soon enough.

quote:

@Evangel
Give Cronix some time. When Tomix was starting out, his animations were quite stiff as well. You should have seen Tomix's first flash animation with a DF-styled character. I can't really track it down now but basically you wouldn't know it was made by him someone tells you.

quote:

@DarkDevil The skill is fine IMO, if you really want to loop a defensive play, always start with "Guardian Heroes" and then use Guardian Shield before the debuff wears off, then lastly use Vortex when shield runs out, by that time Guardian Heroes should already be done with its CD. Then rinse and repeat
