Mr. Roguish -> RE: Night of 100 ninja reward shop (8/27/2020 15:34:28)
CLASS ARMORS UPADTE Assassin class updated skills New version has more of an emphasis of drawing from the previous classes since completely mastering being a rouge and mastering being a ninja were prerequisites along with being an adept scholar (meaning that you are experienced in being patient and observant, studying your quarry, and emulating what you've learned). Especially how the assassin class is a very direct continuation of the prior 2 classes unlike how paladin is for fighter or mage. You are basically expected to be an expert and learn a few techniques from your experiences and hanging around Wallo and Shii; and if your knowledgeable of the skills of the other classes and their names, you can see how they were implemented in with a twist. • Skills 0-5 represent you putting aside mostly what you think you already know so you can effectively learn. • Skills 6-10 Represent you getting a bit more comfortable and slowly applying what you know to what you're being taught starting with your rouge training. It ironically works out since the outdated rouge class is kind of built like a ranger class and Wallo is a ranger with his gun as well as later in the class quest line he disappears (which could represent you starting to learn skills from Shii). • Skills 11-15 represent the same concept of 6-10 but at a higher level, now implementing the ninja skills along with Shii's training. This also ironically fits because the yajuu techniques are considered to be ninja skills that were forbidden, and both Shiii and Elizabeth are female lol. • Skills 16-20 represent you mastering your own art of assassination, essentially creating your own skills with a slight amalgamation of everything that you've learned prior. • As for the shadow part; it is referenced in the Conjure shadow (spell) that Lord Barrius taught you how to create your own shadows by weaving light and darkness magic as opposed to reaching into the shadow realm itself. In reference to Elizabeth utilizing the "Stance of the living shadow" and the current skill 3 referencing being able to "shadowstep". There is already a present link of manipulating shadows. Along with the theme of learning things from other places and adding it to your repertoire, it would make sense to seek out a master of shadows to learn something, maybe even steal. • The skills that have "#-#" mean that I don't care which order they go in between designated range. OPTION 1: What skills below are based on • Keep base elemental modifiers the same- Overall damaged will be reduced from "After image" skill which should equate to lower elemental resistances (intention of bases armor taking as much damage as a 45% elemental modifier) so it should balance itself out • Keep combat defenses the same- Armor's earned passives are stronger than normal with total MRM at max class rank pretty high. OPTION 2: or can be advanced armors like paladin • Make wind, fire, and earth variants • Make base MRM 55 • Make armor offensive lean- Armor has an offensive lean. Gain +8 to blocking (not already factored into armor stats) and deal 1.26 damage (the rest turned into additional damage that is taken from monster attacks).* • Make all passives that boost MRM only provide a +3 MRM As far as the armor look- I would like for it to follow the idea in the CONCEPT IDEAS SECTION (weapon and shield at the bottom of the screen; weapon held by armor is the "heartrender" dagger like the Star Slayer armor and fiend of Vergil armors have weapons locked to the armors) Armor builds charges per turn called Opportunity. LEVEL 0: HEIGHTENED SENSES - Passive There's a reason you needed to be a bit of a scholar. To be an assassin, you need to study your environment and target, learn their habits and routines, your enemies will never see you coming and then strike like a Gogg! First, you get +105 Initiative. Second, if you get the jump on the monster, then you gain Celerity, for the first round of combat only and the monster makes a save roll Major: 200 vs MonsterINT Minor: YourLUK vs MonsterLUK LEVEL 1-3: EXPLORER'S WISDOM - Passive You have learned to take what is useful from others and add it to your own skill set. +3 MRM LEVEL 1-3: SEEK WEAK POINT - Active All armors have their cracks, and all monsters have their weak spots -- it's just a matter of finding them. By testing your opponent's defenses first, you can pinpoint where to aim to have the best chances of connecting with your next attack! ***Same as original* LEVEL 1-3: ADAPTIVE TACTICS - Active It's not what you use, but how you use it. Switch styles of combat to help get past your opponent's defenses, just make sure you know how to use it! For 3 SP per round you make and attack, your attacks are converted to Melee, Ranged, or Magic of your choice! -----You have 4 options -----Melee (attack modifiers rely on STR) -----Ranged (unlocks at class level 10) (attack modifiers rely on STR and DEX) -----Magic (unlocks at class level 15) (attack modifiers rely on INT) LEVEL 4: PROPERLY PREPARED - Active** A wise assassin is patient for the perfect opportunity, once that opportunity presents itself you must make sure your spirit is ready to capitalize on it! Once you have enough charges, you can regenerate some SP. This quick-cast skill doesn't take a turn to cast. Gain one charge per turn Quick-cast skill. Consumes 5 Charges to regenerate the listed SP. ClassLvl --4----10----15----20 SPRegen 217--288--335--395 LEVEL 5: STALWART SOLITUDE - Active Sometimes the only person you can rely on is yourself. Play it defensively for a round and strike from a distance. ***Same as original* LEVEL 6: DUAL WIELD - Toggle Equip a second weapon from the assassins' secret stash in your off-hand to do more damage! Select the skill to open a sub-menu to configure your weaponry. Each weapon has a different element. Those with the Assassin title can Dual Wield more efficiently. CHANGE: No multiple weapons, only "heartrender" dagger; dagger is purely aesthetic and is not treated as a separate weapon (damage element stays the same as equipped weapon)** While active, your normal attack (as in, what you do when you click the "Attack" button) deals 150% Base, Random, and Stats damage. You also deal an extra hit with your off-hand weapon. The off-hand attack is: OFF-HAND ATTACK Hits: 1 Type: «As Weapon or "weapon finesse" skill» Element: «As Weapon or "weapon finesse" skill» Damage: [As Normal Attack] 150% Base, Random, and Stats each BTH: round(0.125UnscaledPowerLevel - 0.5) + 5 plus Stats **The rest is the same as the original* At class level 20- unlocks Shadow Mistress Katana to be equipped as a temporary primary weapon. Not sure of idea- Having dual wield unequip shield but providing a +160 DEX boost for implied increase to mobility. Essentially- "Ninjas don't need shields. Ninjas have super reflexes that let them dodge any attack more effectively than any shield ever could" LEVEL 7 or 8: SUPERIOR AGILITY IN SHADOWS - Toggle** You move with incredible agility and grace, improving your defenses and resistances. +50 DEX LEVEL 7 or 8: CALL IN FAVOR - Active -----You have two options. -----CALL HITOKIRI -----Call your Hitokiri, an aspiring assassin from a faraway land. -----You can pick your Hitokiri's attack pattern with the button below, and new attacks will become available as you train together. All attacks deal harm damage (instead of darkness) -----Summons Hitokiri as a guest. Cast again to dismiss. At certain levels, certain attacks for the Hitokiri will be unlocked; wearing the armor allows you to control their choice of attacks (see the guest entry for more details). ----------OPTION #1 (Attack) - Control (available when skill is unlocked) ----------The Hitokiri will perform normal attacks! ----------OPTION #2 (Smoke grenade) - Control (available at class level 9+) ----------The Hitokiri will shroud you with smoke, boosting your defenses! ---------------EFFECT ---------------• +10 MRM ----------OPTION #3 (Poison) - Control (available at class level 10+) ----------The Hitokiri will try to poison the enemy with envenomed needles! ***The rest is same as the original but buffed*** ----------OPTION #4 (Shuriken) - Control (available at class level 15+) ----------The Hitokiri will try to lacerate the enemy causing them to bleed with a flurry of razor-sharp shuriken! ---------------EFFECT ---------------• Inflicts bleed -----SUMMON SHADOW (available at class level 16) -----Your mastery over the shadows let you create and command your own! -----You can pick your shadow's attack pattern with the button below, and new attacks will become available as you train together. -----Summons Your Shadow as a guest. Cast again to dismiss. At certain levels, certain actions for Your Shadow will be unlocked; wearing the armor allows you to control their choice of attacks. Only functions when wearing armor (see the guest entry for more details). Pay the listed [HP Cost] at end of each turn as harm damage (acts like bleed status). ----------OPTION #1 (Attack) - Control (available when skill is unlocked) ----------The Shadow will perform normal attacks! Guest and attack animation is a like an extra whispering raiment armor Standard guest stats ----------OPTION #2 (Mirror movement) - Control (available at class level 17) ----------It may seem like they aren't moving, but they are actually moving so perfectly coordinated with you that they attack at the same time boosting power of each strike; almost as if its attached to you like your shadow... ---------------EFFECT ---------------• Instead of attacking normally, this pet boosts all attacks made by the player on the next turn by +40% ----------OPTION #3 (Become Shadow) - Control (available at class level 20) ----------Become literally one with the shadows letting it act as your cloak and dagger! You won't have access to most of your skills but your shadow itself is still pretty capable! ---------------• Clothes turn completely black ---------------• Lose access to all skills and passives except PROPERLY PREPARED, DUAL WIELD (does not deactivate shadow mistress katana), ADAPTIVE TACTICS, MERCILESS STRIKE FROM THE SHADOWS, and SMARTER NOT HARDER ---------------• Base MRM becomes 55 ---------------• Base elemental modifiers all become 80 ---------------• Primary elemental modifiers stay the same, triggers against shadow monsters ---------------• Gains effect: ---------------EFFECT ---------------• Has a 25% chance of anything attacking you to take -15 BTH. This doesn't apply to Healing effects. ---------------• The damage you take from light and/or darkness element is multiplied by 0.80 ---------------• TRIGGER- Multiplies damage from shadow creatures by an additional 0.64 (or simply 0.5125 total) LEVEL 9 - BLADE SHOT - Active Call upon your alliance with Wallo to set up a combo attack utilizing his gun! Pulling the trigger harder won't make to bullet any more powerful, its all in the accuracy and where you shoot! Hits: 1 Type: Ranged Element: «Ele-Seeking; if all elemental modifiers are below 95%, deals harm damage» -----You have 3 options -----Center Mass -----Aim for the largest part of the body so you don't miss! ----------Attacks deals 0.675 damage, but always hits -----In the foot -----Best way to make sure you have the advantage over your opponent, reduce their mobility* ----------BtH: [«As Weapon» - 2] ----------EFFECT ----------Inflicts Cripple for 9999 turns (can only be applied twice) -----Head Shot -----Everyone knows head shots do the most damage, just make sure your aim is good enough! ----------Damage: 200-700 ----------Stat %: 1550 ----------BtH: [«As Weapon» - 4] ----------Wallo takes stat bonuses from the player's Dexterity stat. Lucky Strikes are possible, but the bonus to damage is LUK/[15/8 0.75] instead of LUK/2. ***The animation is the same as the original* LEVEL 10: DEATH FROM ABOVE - Active Use this autocrossbow from Wallo's own armory to unleash a variety of special attacks, but be sure to load it first! The gun holds up to eleven arrows and uses different amounts of ammunition for each ability. Turn prismatic burn into prismatic poison *The rest is same as the original but buffed and extreme reduced cost due to turn being taken to load weapon which should be a cost free skill* LEVEL 11-13: TRIBUTE TO YAJUU - Toggle** The only way to appease Yajuu is to provide blood. You've learned how to make it's your opponent's and not your's! EFFECT • At the end of your turn, there's a (# of hits connected) / (# of hits made) chance of making the monster Bleed. The monster makes a save at a +0 bonus: Major: YourDEX vs MonsterEND Minor: YourLUK vs MonsterLUK If it fails, then it starts bleeding, with the listed power. The Bleed can stack and increase its power. If the monster fails a second save, then you just add the new bleed power to the old power. Monster categories Undead, Golem, Robot, Mecha, and Incorporeal are immune to this effect. MUST BE LVL 100:* LEVEL 11-13 - MERCILESS STRIKE FROM THE SHADOWS! - Passive-Toggle When striking a helpless foe you have a chance to perform a merciless strike for greater damage! Those with the title Assassin have double the chance. • Untoggled- 5% base chance of a double damage MSFTS attack • Toggle- (base%+10%) chance of a quadruple damage MSFTS attack • (base%+5%) chance if opponent is Blind • (base%+10%) if using Stalwart Solitude • (total%2) chance if using skill CALL IN FAVOR- SUMMON SHADOW- OPTION #3 (Become Shadow) Toggle + Stalwart Solitude + blind opponent + shadow armor = 60% chance of a quadruple damage MSFTS attack LEVEL 11-13: DRAGON DOUBLE EVASION - Passive* You always wonder if Shii hails from ninjas knowing the forbidden arts of Yajuu.. Make sure you aren't forgetting your ninja training! †You gain +3 MRM LEVEL 14: KISS OF DEATH - Active Call upon your alliance with Shii to set up a combo attack that can mortally wound your foe! Hits: 1 Type: Magic Element: Harm If hit connects there is a chance of making the monster Bleed (Power: Class LVL/9). The monster makes a save at a -1 bonus: Major: YourDEX vs MonsterEND Minor: YourLUK vs MonsterLUK If it fails, then it starts bleeding, with the listed power. The Bleed can stack and increase its power*. If the monster fails a second save, then you just add the new bleed power to the old power. Monster categories Undead, Golem, Robot, Mecha, and Incorporeal are immune to this effect. LEVEL 15: YAJUU DAGEKI - Active** The infamous Strike of the Beast, this demonic technique was forbidden among the ninja for its evil nature, but an assassin utilizes every skill to dispatch their target. When performed correctly, this skill calls upon the ravenous Yajuu to devour your opponent's vital essence. Beware, however, that Yajuu is a maddened creature who may not always grant you his favor... Dual Wielding has a special effect on this skill. The skill has a 40% chance of success if monster is not bleeding; 95% if monster has bleeding status. You perform a normal attack (also including an offhand attack, if it's on), but all hits deal 225% Base/Random/Stats damage and have their Elements become Harm.

Mr. Roguish -> RE: Night of 100 ninja reward shop (8/27/2020 15:38:36)
CONCEPT IDEAS I have been pondering for a long time about the issue of rogues not aesthetically-feasibly able to use daggers; as daggers are melee weapons and melee weapons benefit from STR which doesn't make sense for a sly, stealthy, nimble, rogue to be super STRONG. Mr. Uber originally had the idea: quote: My short suggestion on this is to have most daggers/knives (that aren't thrown) have the same effect as the Hunting horn, where as they may attack with melee, however their stat bonus is based off of DEX instead of STR. This will also give daggers/knives some uniqueness and versatility instead of just being statistically weaker but slightly (but still not worth it) more accurate swords. I attempted a suggestion of a potential dagger; but also potentially revamping the whole DEX system to make it stand alone and not require or rely on STR so heavily if at all. I recently had an epiphany and realized that the simplest solution that would also satisfy what I would like to achieve as well as what everyone I debated with alluded to. Ultimately the designs of the weapon are irrelevant toward their function and any class or build can use any weapon regardless of whether or not they would get the maximum benefit from it. I'm suggesting that past and future rogue armors like the Frostval Mercenary Garb get built in daggers, tantos, ninjatos, like how the almost exact replica StarSlayer does. Not that I care, but for some other people, maybe make the armor's weapon toggle-able like some armors' helms, like the Armor of AWE. I see this as an absolute win; I left my original take on the concept I explain at the beginning of this at the bottom as I no longer see a need for it but am reluctant to just throw away something I put A LOT of effort into. Assassin lean As mentioned in multiple suggested armors: • You receive offensive Armor Lean; Gain +5 to blocking (not already factored into armor stats) and deal *1.26 damage (the rest turned into additional damage that is taken from monster attacks)

I know +2K LUK seems like its a lot, but it really isn't. Do not get confused, it SHOULD be powerful, however main damage is from lucky strikes and each attack does 1/4 the total (to get the actual crazy damage would have to have all hits be lucky strikes). However shouldn't be a problem since: warriors have been getting away with this and this. I shouldn't have to explain what mages have been capable of. This only puts it on an even playing field.

Mr. Roguish -> RE: Night of 100 ninja reward shop (8/27/2020 15:43:56)
SUBRACES So I decided recently to switch from vampire to Neko to test what would be the more effective armor for my playstyle, and it donned on me. 1. "Neko" is Japanese for "cat" 2. Ninjas originated in Japan, the rogue class is before the ninja class and the rogue guest is a black cat (Neko) 3. There is already a Ninjat (ninja cat) temp armor AND pet Why aren't Neko Ninjat's a thing?! I understand that the theme behind how the sol and luna sets were made were to give both beastmasters and rangers a bone (which they do a REALLY good job of even though no one seems to recognize the luna for the ranged). So I think it would be right to only have 1 Neko Ninjat armor so nekos don't have too much that other people don't want to play the other subraces. Between sol and luna however, given the theme of the night and attacking for oneself instead of having pets and guests do the majority of the damage, I think the Luna side would make the most sense. Except this would be the only Neko armor that skills apply to counter attacks from dodging. Since this would be the only armor of its kind for neko, and that it is essentially a version of the base no drop luna neko transformation, it'd be really cool if this could have the option of replacing the no drop subrace slot. Name: Luna Neko Ninjacket Concept: Status inflictions similar to regular neko armors activated from dodging «Mastercraft Fully Offensive Water or Ice /Darkness compression armor.» Element: (Water or Ice) /Darkness compression Level: 150 (with weaker versions) Appearance: I figured there could be two options depending how the Devs ended to go about it with: 1.

WEAPONS So after about a week of seeking help on trying to find the proper numbers and formulas to properly annotate what I'm trying to convey, I found that the math was too confusing and too difficult so I'm going to do a bit of numbers and a bit of concept explanation. The main point behind this weapon is that it does crazy strong lucky strike damage. To compensate, it has VERY low damage otherwise; keep in mind, the weapon's damage at face value isn't 5-10, its actually way higher (imagine its actually something like 100-200), though after it suffers from all its penalties from its effects, its real damage is 5-10. Everything is set up to balance itself back out to something roughly equivalent to the Serrated Sacragon Spur, however it's still supposed to be slightly beyond that like the Ultimate Dragon Scythe of Elements. Name: Tanto of Assassination «Accurate Harm dagger. No special, but can be changed to become a 100%-proc Ranged weapon.» Level: 150 (with weaker versions) Type: Melee Element: Harm Damage: 5-10***** - This is after all penalties/boosts are factored in unless otherwise specified BtH: 20**** - This is after all penalties/boosts are factored in unless otherwise specified ****Stat Bonuses to damage: 0.75(DEX/4) (possibly +LUK/2).

While in Melee mode, the weapon won't have a Special attack. Takes -10% damage penalty to pay for the Harm element. Gains +10 BTH and deals 85/95 damage from lean. This has been factored in.* While in Ranged mode, the weapon receives the following special. This is a bow attack and deals 96.3% of the damage of an average armor attack.

Because there are all these clearly broken armors and items for mages and warriors to be able to feasibly be a viable playstyle compared to mages, but you dont see any effort made to support rogues. Even when there are very clear opportunities to give rogues something; like the blarney holiday event that starred the ninjachauns in which every time Uncle Sham has donned a new get up for whatever scheme he's attempted, EVERYTIME we were able to purchase a like minded theme armor. Obviously except of course when it would benefit rogues, no all we get are arguably worthless weapons. My question is to draw attention to the fact that there is a lack in items being released to level the playing field for rouges and the content are multiple ideas to decrease this problem. The answer to that is quite simple actually and in my opinion, best explained by comparing it to the other builds. The key points defining the build being: 1. How much damage is taken 2. How much damage is given 3. How the character survives until a full heal Ultimately, the weapon is not important because all builds usually take advantage of the accuracy boost from DEX and therefore could all feasibly use ranged weapons however unlikely due to the weird spot you mentioned earlier. Mage: 1. Takes a lot of damage and very squishy because armors usually do not provide great resistances. 2. Deals a ton of damage due to being able to fully utilize spells in which MP is a limited resource. Therefore to make spells even viable, they need to be worth the sacrifice of MP. 3. Survives in the sense of a glass cannon. dealing insane amounts of damage before they take too much damage. Warrior: 1. Takes minimal damage due to high resistances. 2. Deals decent and consistent damage. 3. Survives by being able to absorb a lot of punishment and dealing consistent damage. Basically winning a war of attrition. Rogues: 1. Very squishy, but not as much as a mage. 2. Deals a lot of damage consistently and extreme amounts of damage on lucky strikes. 3. Survives by having high MRM, being able to consistently dodge/block hits. But the ability to do this is also a limited resource and potential items that would boost damage or absorb damage will have to be sacrificed to dodge temporarily. Essentially deal as much damage as you can before the monster can catch you. So simply put: Something rogue aligned should have high MRM and high damage capability EVEN MORE SO than Warriors. It should also look rogue in appearance; the last thing I can think of that was released somewhat for rogues, was the sneak essence armor. An armor that is supposed to be based off the essence of a monster entirely built around being this small and slippery serpent and having high dodging capability, is a big beefy barbarian looking armor with only somewhat decent MRM.

quote: Rorshach said: Uh, the thing is that armours in AQC are pretty much generalists/all-rounded. They aren't designed specifically for a "build" or class itself. The only time that armours are designed for a specific class, are the class armours themselves. Otherwise, all armours bought in the game is balanced via a points-based system of which the meta is about min-maxing everything. I guess you could alternatively say, that each armour is "defined" as a class of its own, based on what these "points" are being "spent" on. Are they spent on specific resistances? Etc. I have to disagree about your point on warriors' and rogues' armours, because those don't exist. At all. Armours are not classed on offense or defense, based on the lean system, whereby it's between the scale of Full-Offensive to Full-Defensive (5 levels in total). It is from there that players build their metas around it, hence sort of min-maxing and then further have their own classification of "this is a glass-cannon", "this is a tank" sort of builds. Aside from that, there isn't really a "warrior" or "rogue" defined build. But I guess for simplicity sake, it is easier to classify them as such for identification purposes. Appearance do not matter at all, because it's not like we don't have those who use a full-covered-metal-looking-plated-armour for magic, when we're more used to the idea that mages are supposedly "robe-covered". Hence, instead, I guess you'll mean that we need armours that can function differently, to further help distinguish them from "another class"

Mr. Roguish -> RE: Night of 100 ninja reward shop (8/27/2020 16:58:06)
@Rorschach Yes TECHNICALLY any build could use any any armor, however this is an over-generalization and is unrealistic. It is true that the armors outside of class armors don't have specific class designations, however it is clear that certain armors are more optimal for certain builds than others considering: • there are plenty of armors that boost spell damage and therefore would benefit builds that utilize magic over ones that didn't; that being mages • The piratechaun armor boosts MRM based on LUK; which would support a rogue • Neko armors heavily benefit from CHA; which would be the beastmaster • etc. Then that leads ultimately to the stats of the character and not the armor's full-defense to full-offense because all that does for the build realistically is dictate which weapon would be best to use with the armor via 100% proc/spells for defensive armors or realistically anything under 50% proc for offensive armors. The tank and glass cannon are sub-builds to the main three and are based on multiple factors: • stats placed into either doing more damage or more health • armor with defensive or offensive leans • misc that deal more damage or reduce incoming damage • guests/spells/pets that either heal or do damage • etc. Yes you can have a mage in big plated armor, but the most turn efficient and effective items (being able to defeat both enemies and boss quickly) that support a specific build usually fall under the mage taking the most damage and dealing the most, warrior taking the least and dealing the least, and the rogue supposed to be being in between however not just taking more damage than a warrior and less than a mage, but it's own thing. That being taking almost as much damage as mages when hit but having high MRM to avoid being hit creating the gap of damage received compared to mages, however the dodging cannot be indefinitely maintained and therefore taking more damage than the warrior when they start getting hit. All in all it's not the armor that defines the build it's how the character is played; but there are armors that decently benefit a specific build more than another and thus for simplicity sake is easier to classify them as such for identification purposes. However, there seems to be a lack of items and armors specifically that benefit the rogue playstyle that is clearly being given to mages and warriors. And if there is something that could come out for rogues and it doesn't have the aesthetics, then it breaks immersion and makes the game lacking for people who like to play that playstyle.

quote: lolerster said: I think if you wanted to implement rogues in AQ, you need to design items specifically around rogues. Similar to how we have been getting a few charisma-based weapons and spells, "Rogues" would need similar custom items, like items specifically using Luck for its BTH and damage bonuses.

Mr. Roguish -> RE: Night of 100 ninja reward shop (8/27/2020 17:00:49)
@lolerster quote: I think if you wanted to implement rogues in AQ... You make it sound like rogues aren't already in the game. Sure they don't have much going for them, which is the problem that I'm trying to address. But seeing as one of the three beginning set ups that you choose when you first create your character that determines your no-drop items is a rogue, I play as a rogue, and there is a rogue class and 2 classes that make being a rogue a prerequisite. I would say that they don't need to be implemented but given more of an identity, that being more armors and items that support that playstyle. I believe Mr. Uber had a suggestion about this, but I'm guessing that his thread got deleted as well. However if I remember correctly, he had suggested that daggers be like the CHA based weapons that Aria sells, whereas they deal melee damage but draw their stas from DEX. The only way I could see this happening in a way that the other builds wouldn't equally be able to benefit from, would to be to make equations that factors in DEX, have DEX be a factorial equation. This would prevent people who only place a few points inDEX to get anything and exponentially benefit people who max it out.

quote: lolerster said: Dex is already reserved for ranged damage (I know they benefit mostly from str, but dex is in the formula). Why not make the "rogue" weapons dependent on luck, but have a damage penalty to account for the innate benefits of having luck as a stat (like magic weapons, but maybe not as severe)? Dex already has too strong of a stat to have a weapon type's damage attached to it.

Mr. Roguish -> RE: Night of 100 ninja reward shop (8/27/2020 17:03:56)
@lolerster quote: Dex already has too strong of a stat to have a weapon type's damage attached to it I had someone from the item comparison do the math and essentially the formula for both melee and ranged damage equal out. I thought the same thing for awhile but they actually aren't benefiting any more from having DEX attached to a weapon type's damage. The reason I suggested a factorial equation=(x!) is because both warrior and mage utilize DEX for accuracy and LUK anyway. However, if you know what a factorial equation is, there is an exponentially large difference between the equation (5!) and (10!); 5!=120 and 10!=3628800. Just a 5 point difference is 30240x multiplier. Obviously the formula: Ranged damage= [(DEX)!/a]+[(STR)/b] "a" would have to equal a very large number just to bring the number into easier to calculate numbers I actually like your idea of using LUK instead of DEX because LUK is also tied into generally boosting attacks and mainly lucky strikes, but LUK would have to be buffed. The problem is, is that if LUK is buffed then would everyone start using LUK more than DEX? The point of the factorial equation, is that it would keep those who don't truly invest into LUK/DEX to not get the same or close to the same benefits as someone who did (mainly rouges). Therefore, it should be based on the stat (DEX or LUK) less used by warriors and mages; this would further distance and distinguish rogues from the rest of the class. Thanks so much Mr. Uber!

Primate Murder -> RE: Night of 100 ninja reward shop (9/7/2020 22:10:51)
Regarding Assassin. Before coming up with any suggestions, I wanted to make a few suggestions regarding the balance of the armor's skills: Heightened Senses. A passive is worth 5% melee per turn or 50% melee per battle. 105 initiative bonus is 50% melee and initiative-based celerity is another 50%, which means you end up with double the bonus of a standard passive. You may have to choose either initiative or a celerity, or mix up a weaker variant of both (+50 initiative and a save-based celerity if you go first). Explorer's Wisdom. A passive is worth 5% melee, which is 3 MRM. Properly Prepared. How do you gain charges? Judging by the effect, each charge is worth 20% melee, so does it act as a toggle to gain 1 every turn? How is it paid for? Superior Agility. A proper passive is worth 3 MRM. You may have to reduce the defenses gained or turn this into a toggle. Tribute to Yajuu. 200 would be too strong for low-level characters and too weak for top level. I suggest using one of your stats (Dex, for example) as a Major. Oh, and Bleed now works against all monsters equally. Merciless. Shinobi Shozoku calculations are rather outdated. I would suggest something simpler like 5% chance of a double damage Merciless attack, with a 15% melee toggle that quadruples the damage. Dragon Double. As above, a passive is worth 3 MRM. Kiss of Death. Bleed doesn't have a duration - it lasts untl a save. Also, same thing as above in regards to save and immunities. Yajuu Dageki. A standard trigger is worth 10%, paladin managed to stretch it out to 25%. 55% is a little too much. After Image. A standard passive is worth 5% melee - and since a standard monster is expected to have a 15% miss rate, this skill ends up worth at least three times a passive's worth. I'd suggest making it a toggle. So, which skills did you want me to come up with something for?

Mr. Roguish -> RE: Night of 100 ninja reward shop (9/8/2020 0:53:17)
Thanks, Ill see about revision and clarification. I was wondering about skills 9 and 19, their potential effects more or less. I threw something in for 19 so far but I'm not 100% on it.

Primate Murder -> RE: Night of 100 ninja reward shop (9/8/2020 2:07:41)
Okay, both 9 and 19 talk about alliances and coordination, so to keep to the theme, I'm involving Cha in those skills. Here are some ideas: Blade Shot Wallo shoots his gun for a 120% damage attack with 50% chance of a Lucky Strike, using Cha in place of Luck for stats. If the attack is a Lucky Strike, you unleash a 2x damage attack. Costs 100% melee sp + sp upkeep of a guest (~22% melee) and your guest doesn't act this round. Assassin's Creed Before your attack, Shii and Wallo assault your foe. They deal no damage, but inflict the monster with Bleed (power: 3) and Daze (50% chance of inaction for one round) respectively. Monster can resist with 2 separate saves (Cha/Luck vs End/Luck) and (Cha/Luck vs Cha/Luck) with +0 bonus. Then perform a standard weapon-based skill. - It deals +15% damage if the monster is inflicted with Bleed.* Otherwise it deals -10% damage. - It deals +15% damage if the monster is inflicted with Daze.* Otherwise it deals -10% damage. These stack, so if the monster is inflicted with Bleed, but not Daze, you end up dealing +5% damage. If it's inflicted with both, you deal +20% damage. Costs 100% melee sp + sp upkeep of a guest (~22% melee) and your guest doesn't act this round. *Your Leap of Faith is rewarded with bonus damage!
