Ashari -> RE: Assimilation Discussion (3/27/2011 18:27:13)

@Hun Kingq: Anyone that's invested the extra points in Energy just to prevent Assimilation just made themselves a bit weaker to do that. Consider that an advantage from the start!

The main selling point of Assimilation is that there is no downside to using the skill in battle. You aren't using up energy, and you aren't losing a turn of damage. I think the best level for it is 3. You don't want to base your whole build around Assimilation, because if you do come up against someone with extra energy, you will lose. Just put 3 points in it so you can still rely on Deadly Aim and Malfunction but you'll have Assim to prevent big hitters like Massacre or Berzerker.



Hun Kingq -> RE: Assimilation Discussion (3/27/2011 21:35:35)

Ashari, 3 points are you kidding, let's say the oponents energy is at 36 or above before the big attack and they need 32 to launch it, you are telling me level 3 Assimilation will make a difference. If Assimilation is blocked, you are losing a turn. One problem with having malfunction so high is if a player debuffs, a bounty uses an energy shield or merc uses the bloodshield along with hybrid armor, you just wasted all that energy. One time I seen malfunction only last one round, I could not believe it but it happened more than once.

If they allowed Assimilation to take even more energy then it would cause stat abusers to put more points into energy and that is why I made that suggestion for Assimilation, forcing them to do what they don't want to do and creating a better advantage for the mage class

Sigh...okay guys.

Its a great side skill.

Not all skills are meant to have an entire build focused around them. It's just a side tool.

If the cooldown was reduced it would be a balance problem.

If it was unblockable it would be a SERIOUS balance problem.

I say make it NOT REQUIRE A STAFF, so all mages can enjoy this side skill.

I can see that using this skill at max is foolishness. But so is max energy shield and max defense matrix. It's just not meant to be a heavy duty skill.



Deimos... -> RE: Assimilation Discussion (3/29/2011 9:22:46)

The assilimation build is EXTREMELY useful. I don't base my build around it because if it gets blocked, its just like a strike. That is exactly why I don't use it unless I need to strike. So basically I'm replacing strike with assilimiation ;D. If you do that, your turn can't be wasted anyways ^.^.
