Let's make bad skills usable!

name describes it all.
let the community try and balance some skills and help izzy out!

this gave me a headache lol

I just think this type of thread is repetitive. Lets say, they have a skill nerf, and balance them, and make lowly ones more powerful. you ALWAYS are going to haev crappy skills. there are THOUSANDS of them, no doubt some are not going to be used, leave things be, and it wont be a problem.

Overpowered?? Nerf it, id give the go ahead. But theres no hope for making bad skills useable constantly, theres always gonna be that problem.

Most of the ele skills you buff are perfectly viable as they are.
And Tenai's prison and Ice prison are supposed to have the same effect.

Suppose to be buffing bad spells lol nothing wrong with 90% of those ones tbh ^^

[skill]Mind Freeze[/skill][skill]Mind Burn[/skill][skill]Mind Shock[/skill]

Drop Exhaustion 10 second recharge on each

I guess some of em are >.< (deep freeze) but....water eles ftw!
(made ice an teinai's prison the same now)
I thought Mind burn was supposed to be spammable Wakka but thats just me.
rawr added smiting >.<

It causes exhaustion. You can't really spam exhaustion-causing skills, so at 10r no exhaustion, you'd use it as much as you can, so it would be spammed more than it is now.

yay, let's buff them as we did with [skill]Keystone Signet[/skill] and [skill]Discord[/skill]

Armor of Mist, Deep Freeze, Freezing Gust, Frozen Burst, Ice Prison, Ice Spikes, Tenai's Prison, Fox Fangs, HoTo, Disrupting Stab, Balth Aura and Barbs are all perfectly fine.

Mind Shock and Mind Freenze would be WAY too good without exhaustion.

such threads are usually full of people that have no real idea..but meh. :/
