InFlamed Fury -> Shadow Arts for Both Cyber Hunter And Bounty Hunter (4/25/2014 9:41:38)
|
Does anyone in the game still use the skill Shadow Arts? From what i have seen absolutely no player in the game uses it as it is pretty much a shield that prevents a small percentage of damage done to the defender. At Max level it is only as good as a debuffed (Through the use of the Azrael Bot's Special and the Auxiliaries Core) defense matrix, energy shield, technician or reflex boost.
Most players would say that they would rather spend half or less than half energy to put up a shield which may or may not end up getting debuffed by the opponent.
Eg. Level 31 Cyber Hunter can use a level 4 Defense Matrix with 42 support which gives a 210 boost to defense OR they could use a level 4 Shadow arts which only prevents 18% of all damage done to him/her which won't really help you prevent that much damage while the defense matrix gives you a dam good way to prevent any decent physical damage being done.
When Shadow Arts was changed to an active it should have increased the block chance by small percentage and lasted 4-5 rounds AND given a % of damage reduced while active. In other words it should combine the two versions of the Shadow Arts skill, both the old version and the new one.
Level 1: 1% increase to blocking chance AND 10% damage reduction
Level 2: 2% increase to blocking chance AND 12% damage reduction
Level 3: 3% increase to blocking chance AND 15% damage reduction
Level 4: 4% increase to blocking chance AND 17% damage reduction
Level 5: 5% increase to blocking chance AND 20% damage reduction
Level 6: 6% increase to blocking chance AND 22% damage reduction
Level 7: 7% increase to blocking chance AND 25% damage reduction
Level 8: 8% increase to blocking chance AND 27% damage reduction
Level 9: 9% increase to blocking chance AND 30% damage reduction
Level 10: 10% increase to blocking chance AND 32% damage reduction
Energy Costs
Level 1: 100
Level 2: 120
Level 3: 135
Level 4: 155
Level 5: 170
Level 6: 190
Level 7: 205
Level 8: 225
Level 9: 240
Level 10: 255
Stat Requirements:
Level 1: 23 Support
Level 2: 25 Support
Level 3: 27 Support
Level 4: 29 Support
Level 5: 31 Support
Level 6: 33 Support
Level 7: 35 Support
Level 8: 37 Support
Level 9: 39 Support
Level 10: 41 Support
Those stats are just an idea of what it could look like and in no way do I intend for this to be OP, i just want the skill to actually be usable for the classes that have it. Of course any changes to not make it OP are welcomed, again this is just an idea.
