martinsen5 -> Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 12:13:59)

Passive skills were recently made into active skills, and while some still do pretty much the same thing, others were replaced/changed completely. I'm not entirely sure about other skills, but for one thing I know that Deadly Aim was replaced with Fire Scythe, two skills that are nothing alike.

Would you rather have seen a re-worked and active Deadly Aim, or do you think Fire Scythe makes a good replacement?

Reposting since I posted in the wrong section before :b



Ranloth -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 12:27:23)

In my opinion, Fire Scythe should've replaced Bludgeon for TMs and in place of Deadly Aim, they should've introduced some kind of defensive skill for TMs. Their defenses are a bit lackluster and the skilltree mostly consists of offensive skills. :/
Having Bludgeon and Fire Scythe being locked to Physical, it only makes them work on different mechanisms - one raising your damage by x% and other ignoring defense by x%.

I've had a suggestion done for it, which I've posted in ED Balance (" Small tweaks"), if you wanna check it out. ^^



Mother1 -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 12:36:56)

Personally I would have rather seen fire scythe have the ability to work based on what kind of weapon you had. Meaning if you had a physical weapon it is physical and red. However if you have an energy weapon it is energy and blue.

Locking it to physical was a bad idea IMO since they already have bludgeon which is already locked to physical damage no matter what the weapon is.



GearzHeadz -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 12:39:25)

They have a defense matrix and that technician skill. How is their defensive skills bad? Technician improves with dex alongside with their stun and mutli, giving good opportunity for it. And in my opinion, fire-scythe seems it belongs more with blood mages instead of techs. Because they also have that skill fire-ball. Just seems to flow better.



_i_am_a_helper_ -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 12:40:12)

I'm thinking of it being useful if your a dex TM, cause now not only do you have 2 high damage energy attacks, you have the ability to do a 2 different sorts of physical attacks when your low on energy



GearzHeadz -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 12:46:26)

Technician would also be useful to F5 mages.



Ranloth -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 13:20:05)

Only because they have the two Shields, it doesn't make their defensive capabilities that great. :p They have skills locked to either Energy or Physical, they take majority of the skill-tree, lack special effects (something that makes them stand out), and synergy isn't really that great - unless you're a Caster or Glass Cannon.



axell5 -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 13:43:42)

well trans now mages have 4 locked to energy dealing skills and 2 that are locked to physical... sounds good and BM's got 2 locked to physical and 3 to energy



The Hidden Legend -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 13:47:33)

axxel5, bm also has 4 locked to energy. :P



martinsen5 -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 13:54:12)

But would anyone want something close to Deadly Aim? Personally I had a lot of fun with my TM, knowing that my gun basically was stronger than everyone else's. Having something similar like an active buff for your gun+aux would be more exciting than Fire Scythe, imo.



GearzHeadz -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 13:55:53)

@The Hidden Legend
So they have plasma meteors, overload, and their special... Whats the other one?

@Trans
An F5 mage has great synergy. Most just don't do that. And the defense moves they do have are good. Its on par with BH. BH just has shadow arts, which isn't really that great.

@martinsen5
I have a suggestion to make deadly aim an active core in the suggestion section. Check it out? [:D]



axell5 -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 13:57:25)

oh forgot the other 2 xP and still 4 energies to 2 physicals for both classes, before tm even had 1 locked to phy



Ranloth -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 14:06:42)

Gearz, it's debatable. :p I remember my TM days, which have lasted from when Class Change was introduced until late Delta (3 months before Omega), and I went for Hybrid builds, and defense was something that was a bit lackluster.

I suppose it's just bland skills which they have. It's quite simplistic which is probably why. If you compare TMs' skills to, say, TLM or CH, they have much bigger variety and aren't straight up fixed numbers and such. Synergy for TLMs and CHs is whole 'nother story. :p



The Hidden Legend -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 14:07:44)

Gearheadz, we have plasma cannon, plasma rain (multi), overload (stun), and supercharge (special). :P



GearzHeadz -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 14:21:49)

@The Hidden Legend
Ah that's right. I knew there was 4, I just couldn't remember what the other was. Not many people use plasma cannon.

@Trans
It is good enough, if not more then enough to buff your character in battle. I don't see the complaints. And I do have a tech mage myself.

On a side note, why do you two keep sticking out your tongues?



Altador987 -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/8/2013 14:27:30)

i think the idea to give mages more than one physical skill was a great idea, however bludgeon is a lot better for a lot less energy and though it can be blocked most seem to prefer it's uses over the firescythe, maybe if it had a percent chance to crit or somethin like the other classes as mages dont have a skill that has a chance to crit



Thylek Shran -> RE: Deadly Aim to Fire Scythe (12/9/2013 5:32:50)

Fire Scythe is like Fireball and does the same damage than a lvl 1 Plasma Bolt at 86 Technology for a lvl 36 TM.
Its weird that it does not improve with anything. Bludgeon does indirectly improve with strenght at least.
Its good that TM now have another and unblockable physical attack but a reworked Deadly Aim would had been
more authentic. For this reason I dont like Fire Scythe and the animation is ugly, especially the red color.
Does not look like fire.
