Look, the current formula makes sense.

If you can tell me where Caden's Wrath gets those numbers, the +38.33% (or rather 28.75, since magic weapon boosts are /.75), perhaps provide the formula with the calculations, I'll change it.

Hell, even give me the general reasoning - this, this and this are boosts; this and this are damage reductions. If it's sound, I'll change the formula. Until then, it will remain the same.


Either way, if there's some hidden modifier, the staff would probably know it better than you or me, and thus be better suited to changing it.

I've run out of ways to say the same thing. I'm going to try to explain this one last time, because I really like the skill. I just don't think this one is correct mechanically at the moment. If you still don't understand, I'm sorry but we'll just have to agree to disagree. There's no point in running round in circles!

The way your skill is balanced is wrong. We have given you the reason already. That reason is:

- Caden's Wrath makes it so pet and guests do not attack at all. As compensation, it boosts your damage.
- The lepre-chan formula is correct and balanced. This formula is used for a pet attacking. Instead of doing damage, this attack boosts your damage.
- Lepre-chan is a pet. This is an armour.
- This armour does not do the same thing as lepre-chan. Your pet does not act at all. Whilst your theme more closely resembles a lepre-chan system, the mechanic works more like caden's wrath. As such, it should use caden's wrath as a base, not lepre-chan.

This does not mean lepre-chan or caden's wrath are unbalanced. Both of them, according to their respective effects and compensation, are correct. As such, giving you specific numbers would not make any difference. We are not saying that either formula is wrong. We are saying that the lepre-chan formula is inappropriate for this armour because the pet does not attack at all.

As for how to fix your formula, there was a large debate when Caden's wrath was released as part of a game balance issue. That debate involved the mechanics of the boost.


Also: Your formula is still wrong even if using the Lepre-chan formula was correct. Lepre-chan solely boosts your light attacks/specials etc. You're boosting all weapon attacks and specials regardless of element. You need to account for that.

If you can give me Caden's actual formula, I'll alter the skill accordingly. Otherwise, I see no reason to continue rehashing the same arguments. Agree to disagree.

This line of conversation is closed and I will not reply to any more posts regarding it.


Your second point is actually sound, so I'm changing the skill's effect slightly.

Call Elf Power Armor

Calls an sp- and gold-costing ice guest.

Choose one of the 4 following options for attack. You cannot use options 1 and 2 if you lack gold or sp.

Candy Cane Crush: 1 hit attack at -3 bth lean. Deals +40% damage for a gold cost.

Frostval Spirit Generator: 2 hit attack at -3 bth lean. Deals -50% damage and inflicts Choke (1 turn, -60.5% damage) for a gold cost.* Monster can resist (Cha/Luck vs Cha/Luck) with +0 bonus to save.**

Nothing right now. Elf Power Armor does nothing and doesn't cost gold or sp.

You are dismissed. Elf Power Armor is dismissed.

*(Monster Name) is overcome with the spirit of Frostval!
**(Monster Name) resists the spirit of Frostval.


Appearance: The same.
Description: It looks like Kibbles the Elf has been keeping a bit of the gold he has been trading. He's even willing to fight by your side as long as you don't stop donating! Embrace the spirit of Frostval generosity all year long!

Kind of late but I really like the terrain suggestions.

I think it could be cool to take some cues from Pokemon as well!

Buffs/Nerfs to damage depending on the terrain:
Example: Volcano/Fire terrain: Fire does X% more damage, Ice does X% less damage etc. Applies to monster and player!

Weapons/Spells/Skills doing more damage depending on the terrain:
Solar beam on a sunny day?

Pets/Guests/Skills/Spells that can change the terrain!
Against certain bosses where fights take place on disadvantageous terrain, it may be important to bring one of these to the fight.

ExTerminator
Class armor.

FO energy armor with light and earth secondaries; pretty bad otherwise to max out elecomp
Average MRM with a focus on Melee.
3 hit attack at +5 bth lean.

Appearance: A slender humanoid mecha covered by a black cloak. Has a gun mounted on one shoulder and a utility belt with pouches and grenades.
Description: DrakelNet sent this magitech armor from the future to kill you before you disrupt their plans for World Domination ™ . With some leprechaun help, you've managed to reprogram it to help you in battle, though it seems to have developed a hunger for gold in the process.


Level 0: Secondary Generator - Passive/Active
The reprogrammed ExTerminator armor runs on almagiscichemically converted gold. With a secondary generator, you can convert some of that energy to add a little extra oomph to your hits, or jury rig it as an explosive and throw it at your enemy!

Passive: Pay 15% melee in gold each round.

Passive: You start the battle with 10 Generator Charges and loose 1 each turn to a min of 0. As long as you have at least 1 charge remaining, you deal +15% damage with all player attacks (/2 for spells, /0.75 for magical weapons). Resets at the end of the battle.

Active: Click on the skill to make a normal attack with bonus damage worth (ChargesRemaining * 15)% melee. Doing so consumes all your remaining Generator Charges.


Level 1: Chargin' Mah Lazer - Active
Begin the starting sequence on your shoulder-mounted laser cannon. The futuristic interface is rather counterintuitive though, so it may take a while - or just fizzle out at the start.

Quickcast. Pay 50% melee sp to gain the Charging status. At the end of your turn, you make a (MainStat/Luck vs Int/Luck) save at +0 bonus. On success, gain 1 Unit. On fail, discharge an attack (following your weapon element and type) that deals (UnitsCharged * 50)% melee damage, and loose the Charging status. The effect lasts until you fail a save or until the end of the battle.

You cannot use this skill if you already have the Charging status.


Level 2: Optical Camouflage - Passive
The ExTerminator suit automatically adjusts itself to its surroundings, making it incredibly easy to get the drop on your foe - though the Camouflage Module does require some extra energy.

At the beginning of every battle, you pay 50% melee sp and gain +210 initiative. If you lack the sp, you only gain +105.


Level 3: Efficient Generator - Toggle
Redirect some of your defensive nanobots to tinker with your spare generator, increasing its efficiency by 100%!

You take +15/1.4% damage from monster attacks, and gain 1 Generator Charge at the end of your turn.


Level 4: Accumulator - Toggle
Readjust your secondary generator to accumulate energy instead of immediately expending it!

Instead of bonus damage, you gain sp worth 16.875% damage dealt from the Secondary Generator passive. (/2 for spells, /0.75 for magical weapons)

If Generator Overload is toggled, you gain sp worth 33.75% damage dealt instead.


Level 5: Configure WarpDrive - Active
The Unstable Warpdrive creates a localized temporal anomaly that allows you to move at twice the speed (at least as long as your enemy doesn't guess to press that big red button)!

Summons an energy pet. It deals no damage, but as long as it's present and active, you make a (Cha/Luck vs Int/Luck) save at the end of each turn with a -10 penalty. On success, gain celerity for 1 round.

The pet is automatically dismissed if you switch armors.


Level 6: Rapid Repairs - Active
Call upon the transtemporal energies of the Void to make some quick repairs to your armor. They are more effective than is normal, but tend to fall apart quickly.

A healing skill that uses Int for stats. Heals *1.5 hp, but you loose 24% of hp healed for the next 5 turns (120% damage total).

Costs sp of a standard skill.


Level 7: Tachyon Decelerator - Toggle
Tweak your Secondary Generator to slow down your foe's temporal particles, leaving it unable to process the passage of time!

Instead of bonus damage, you have a 25% chance to stun the monster from the Secondary Generator passive. Monster can resist (MainStat/Luck vs Int/Luck) with +0 bonus to save.

If Generator Overload is toggled, the chance increases to 50%.


Level 8: Generator Overload - Toggle
Put your Secondary Generator into overdrive, gaining twice the power - but at twice the cost!

You loose an extra Generator Charge at the end of your turn, but double the Secondary Generator bonus.


Level 9: Ectoplasmic Railgun - Active
Wield the scicane power of e-necro-mage-netic fields to launch accelerated particles of unstable ectoplasm at your foe! Warning: DrakelNet is not responsible for any loss of life or limb incurred while operating the machinery.

Spell-type skill that deals 5 hits of energy damage at +5 bth lean. Has a 20% chance of targeting the player, so deals *55/34 damage to compensate. Gains elecomp bonus to damage.

Costs sp of a standard skill.


Level 10: Timeline Convergence - Active
Reach into an alternate timeline to shop for a new Secondary Generator! The leprechauns are going to charge you through the nose, but they'll do a good job to retain such a profitable customer.

Quickcast. Pay 150% melee in gold and reset your Generator Charges back to 10.

Summon Laplace's Demon

Summons an mp-costing dark guest.

Effect: The guest deals 42.8% damage of a standard guest, but inflicts the Predetermined* status on the monster for 1 turn. Predetermined monster is incapable of dodging - all attacks against it automatically hit. Monster can resist (Cha/Luck vs Cha/Luck) with -20 penalty to save. (calc: status cost = 35*1.4*.7, out of 60% guest damage)

*The Demon calculates (MonsterName)'s future position!

Appearance: A small flying imp surrounded by green flames.
Description: Summon an otherworldly intelligence capable of observing the location and momentum of every atom in the universe. Its demonic insight ensures that your attacks never miss!

DragonSlayer
Dragonslayer class armor.

FO fire, earth secondary, weak to other elements.
High MRM with a slight focus on Melee.
1 hit attack at +3 bth lean, with high Base damage (because it's pretty hard to miss a big honking dragon).

Appearance: Based on the original, but with more scales, helmet (togglable) becomes a real dragon skull and the cape (also togglable) becomes dragon's wings.
Description: As you don this armor of alchemically-treated dragonscale, you can almost feel its hunger for dragons' souls. Slay the great wyrms and seize their ancient might for yourself!


Level 0: Mantle of the Dragonslayer - Passive
The world first realised the true danger of dragons after Akriloth's invasion. Draw upon the stereotype of brave warriors standing up to dragonfire to protect yourself against all dragon elements!

All dragons only deal fire damage to you.


Level 1: Slayer's Guard - Passive/Toggle
Your knowledge of dragons allows you to better guard against their attacks.

You gain +9 MRM when fighting dragons, +3 MRM against draken and dragonkin, and loose 3 MRM against everything else.

When fighting dragons, you can also click on the skill to toggle on Enhanced Guard. Costs 20% melee sp and grants a futher +12 MRM.


Level 2: Fearless - Passive
Those who wear the armor of the DragonSlayer are made of hardy stuff.

Gain +10 Fear Resistance.

The effect is tripled if you're fighting Dragons.


Level 3: Slayer of Dragons - Passive/Toggle
Your Dragonslayer training has taught you how to strike hard and deep against dragons and their kin!

You deal +15% damage against all dragons, +5% damage against drakel and dragonkin, and -5% damage against everything else. Magic weapons gain *4/3 and spells get /2 of the boost.

When fighting dragons, you can also click on the skill to toggle on Enhanced Technique. Costs 20% melee sp and boosts your damage by a further 20%.


Level 4: Poison Dragon - Active
Coat your weapon with a homemade dragonbane poison!

Spend a turn coating your weapon in Homemade Dragonsbane.

The next time you hit with a weapon attack, monster becomes inflicted with Dragonsbane Poison. Monster can shake off the effect at the beginning of each turn (MainStat/Luck vs End/Luck) with +20 bonus to save, +10 bonus for drakel/dragonkin and +0 bonus for dragons.

While thus poisoned, the monster looses 10% MaxHP each turn.


Level 5: Finishing Blow - Active
The difference between a Dragonslayer and a Dragonfighter is that Slayers know how to deliver that final blow with extreme prejudice.

2-hit weapon based skill, follows your weapon element.

- Against dragons, deals damage worth (50/1.4)% of the monster's missing hp.

- Against Drakel/dragonkin, deals damage worth (45/1.4)% of the monster's missing hp.

- Against anything else, deals damage worth (35/1.4)% of the monster's missing hp.

Costs sp of a standard skill.


Level 6: Fortified Armor - Passive/Toggle
Your armor is optimized for fighting dragons, but with a bit of spiritual magic you can make it even better.

You take -(15/1.4)% damage from dragons, -(5/1.4)% damage from drakel and dragonkin, and +(5/1.4)% damage against everything else.

These are some neat class armor ideas.

What level would you anticipate them being at? I can imagine third-tier classes (Assassin, Necromancer, Etc.) having power comparable to subrace, and the rest being of generally lower level.

I don't really things tiers are going to be a thing if the staff decide to revamp classes. It just doesn't make sense to spend so much time updating underleveled armors when something like 50% of your playerbase are level 150.

Personally, I think scaling classes could (and probably would) be a thing - though by the time the staff get to tier one classes like warrior/scholar/mage, it would probably be something like 2025.
