New Skill Concept: Easily Blocked Skills

Description:


-The chance to block is increased by 25%, example: Aegis gives 50% chance to block attacks. Easily blocked skills would increase that % to 25% of 50% = 62.5% chance to block.
-Typical damage of such skills is greater then normal
-Cannot raise % to block above 100%
-Skills that bypass blocked attacks (Seeking Arrows, Rigor Mortis, etc) have no affect for these skills.


Furthermore, if a foe uses Lightning Reflexes (75% chance to block) then the % chance of an easily blocked skill would be ~94% chance to block.



Example of an Easily Blocked Skill:

Ranger - Marksmanship
"Heavy Arrow" (Elite)
Energy: 10
Attack Speed: Normal
Recharge: 12 seconds
Elite Bow Attack: If it hits, this attack target foe takes +8...45...50 damage and is knocked-down. This attack is easily blocked.



Feedback is always appreciated

One thing I'd love to see is a single skill creating multiple enchantments. The Dervish who doesn't like carrying a lot of enchantments can then fuel a number of "lose one enchantment" skills with a single elite and will be more robust against stripping.

Dervish - Mysticism
"Pious Renewal" (Elite)
Energy: 10
Casting time: 1
Recharge: 30
Elite Enchantment Spell - Every 6 seconds for 0...24...30 seconds, you are enchanted with Piety for 8 seconds.
Note: This spell creates an enchantment which creates enchantments. If the second enchant, Piety, is not used within 6 seconds, it is simply renewed and there is no Mysticism gain. However, Piety can be used to fuel a spell and Pious Renewal will reapply it in a little while.

Easily blocked? lol How's that possible? Will the target develop a stance in that instance?

I think you mean you want it to "miss". So, you can say "Has a 25-50% chance to miss." Is that what you were aiming for, Mia?

I think she meant "dodge" but since Dodge and Block has become united in Block she meant "Block" although "Miss" would be the better option

Its as it is, if the foe has a defensive skill (like Aegis or Flashing Blades) then the % chance to block is increased. Maybe i should have removed the natural 10% chance to block.

My overall point was to develop an idea that accounted for a player's reaction. Example, if you were to say fire an arrow that moves relatively slow due to either its weight, design, etc then a character that is in a blocking stance (or spell) should easily see it coming and be able to block it.

Its kinda the same idea as an ele casting meteor shower, you can see him casting it, giving you enough time to react and get out of the way before it hits.

Skills being binary like that are always bad - either because they're so unreliable as to be useless, or because their effect is so strong that having the effect trigger would be gamebreaking.

The above skill falls into the latter category.

It's a gamble indeed, but some might want such an option open. Others would prefer something more concrete, but in essence it's a choice: 100% small damage vs 25-50% big damage. Tomato, tuh-mah-toe, really. *shrugs*

I think so - otherwise, you can punish an enemy heavily for something he didn't do. If you put Defile Defenses on him, you have a 90% chance of +8...45...50 and KD and a 10% chance of 30...102...120 armor ignoring damage. I would almost certainly run a curses necro alongside this.

A skill that has a 1% chance of dealing 1000 damage would be a gamble, too. It's not a well-designed option to have.

haha ok i got this submission in the email and had to share it.

Elementalist - Energy Storage
"6 Hour Energy" (Elite)
Energy: 5
Casting Time: 1/2 second
Recharge: 6 hours
Elite Enchantment Spell: If your energy is less then 50%, you gain 10%...45%...50% of your max energy. For 6 hours, you have +4 energy regeneration. When this enchantment ends, you are completely exhausted and are dazed for 30 minutes.


i thought it was funny; i hate those energy drinks. they provide barely any energy, its all caffeine...

I've had one I thought I'd just throw out there, but don't know what class would be most useful unless it's class is closer to dark magic.

Black Hole
Energy: 25
Casting Time: 3 sec
Recharge: 45 sec
Elite Spell: When cast on target, Black Hole has a 10% chance of killing/removing enemy from play. This skill also affects enemies adjustment to target.

PVE only.

This is actually used from the Magus character in Chrono Trigger.

Ok...lets gets back on topic here....


Some new ones:


Ritualist - Channeling
"Power" (Elite)
Energy: 15
Casting Time: 1 second
Recharge: 30 seconds
Elite Binding Ritual: Create a level 1...10..12 Spirit of Power. This spirits attacks do 5...36...40 damage and you gain 1 energy every time it hits with an attack. With every attack, this spirit loses 40...20...15 health. This spirit dies after 20 seconds.

Basically wanted an elite Spirit of Pain that gave energy back.


Mesmer - Domination Magic
"Corrupt Mind" (Elite)
Energy: 10
Casting Time: 2 seconds
Recharge: 30 seconds
Elite Hex Spell: For 1...11...12 seconds, target foe cannot cast spells on you and your spells do an additional 5%...8...10% damage against that foe. Ends if foe is under the effects of another hex. Your skills are disabled for 3 seconds.



Keep em coming

Necromancer - Death Magic
"Decayed Flesh" (Elite)
Energy: 15
Casting Time: 1 seconds
Recharge: 10 seconds
Elite Spell: Target foe and all nearby foes are diseased for 3...13...15 seconds. Foes already diseased take 10...46...55 damage and are inflicted with deep wound for 1...3...5 seconds.

Necromancer - Blood Magic
"Well of Disease" (Elite)
Energy: 5
Casting Time: 1 seconds
Recharge: 15 seconds
Elite Well Spell: Exploit nearest corpse to create a Well of Disease at that location. For 8...18...20 seconds, foes within the area of Well of Disease suffer -1...5...6 Health degeneration and -2 Energy degeneration.

Necromancer - Curses
"Decapitation" (Elite)
Energy: 10
Casting Time: 1 seconds
Recharge: 15 seconds
Elite Hex Spell: Target foe is struck for 25...85...100 dark damage and is hexed with Decapitation for 5 seconds. When Decapitation ends, that foe is struck for 25...85...100 dark damage and has a 10% chance of inflicting an additional 90...150 dark damage.

I love Decayed Flesh
However, Decapitation is VERY OP. decrease the damage (a lot) and increase the recharge. love the idea though.

Here is an idea I thought of while questing in the Realm of Torment .

Stone Sheath
15 Energy
1 Second Cast
20 Recharge

Elite Hex Spell: Also hexes nearby foes (30 seconds), whenever these foes take damage from an elemental spell, adjacent foes take 10...34...40.

Similar to Mark of Pain, but for casters, specifically elementalists. It has AoE Range so that the AoE spells an Elementalist uses hurt more (Firestorm says hi) . May be OP, but I thought it was a fun idea.

LOL

OP, REALLY OP. It would have to be single target spells, like immolate.


Today's:


Elementalist - Fire Magic
"Pyroclasm" (Elite)
Energy: 10
Casting Time: 2 seconds
Recharge: 15 seconds
Elite Spell: A Pyroclasm erupts at target foe's location. Each second for 1...4...5 seconds. Target Foe and nearby foes take 8...48...56 fire damage and are burning for 1...4...5 seconds. This spell causes twice the normal exhaustion.


Monk - Protection Prayers
"Selfless Shield" (Elite)
Energy: 10
Casting Time: 1 second
Recharge: 20 seconds
Elite Enchantment spell: For 1...5...6 seconds, target other ally takes 5 less damage for each enchantment on them. If this enchantment ends early, that ally loses 2 condition and hexes. Your Enchantment Spells are disabled for 5 seconds.


-Might be OP prot with stacked enchants (dervs) but i felt it was a good Shield of Absorption elite.

I was accounting for scatter . But, maybe so, but if its changed to just the target being affected, then maybe it could work well. I was just thinking it was elite so I thought I'd buff it up to nearby

Does the effect follow the target around? The way it's phrased, it sounds like no matter where the target goes, the target and nearby foes take the damage. I imagine you meant that enemies in the location take damage and are set on fire, because if not, this is pretty painful.

Location is an AoE range.

Referring back to an above post, originally i meant it follows the foe but if i did that, i would have to remove the burning or be adjacent instead.


Few submissions for today:

Mesmer - Illusion Magic
"Painful Visions" (Elite)
Energy: 5
Casting Time: 1 second
Recharge: 15 seconds
Elite Hex Spell: For 2...9...11 seconds, target foe takes 3...16...20 damage whenever affected by a hex spell that targets them. If this hex ends early, target foe and all nearby foes are interrupted and take 8...30...36 damage.


Elementalist - Earth Magic
"Subterranean Shift" (Elite)
Energy: 15
Casting Time: 2 seconds
Recharge: 30 seconds
Elite Hex Spell: For 10 seconds, target foe takes 5...12...15 earth damage while not moving. When this hex ends, all foes adjacent to target foe's location take 5...40...46 earth damage each second for 5 seconds.
Note: the AoE aspect does not follow foe; it stays at the location when the hex ended.


This next one is kinda cheap and i know there isnt a game mechanic for it (at least yet) but i felt it was fairly innovative. Suggestions/feedback?

Elementalist - Energy Storage
"Dispel Storms" (Elite)
Energy: 10
Casting Time: 3/4 second
Recharge: 30 seconds
Elite Spell: All storms and elemental Spells within the area are dispelled. You lose 5 energy for every storm or spell dispelled. (Fails unless 6 Energy Storage or higher)

Notes: Basically, it would remove skills like Breath of Fire, Eruption, Chaos Storm, etc. Anything that makes an AoE effect that has duration would be negated. The long recharge would prevent it from being spammed, and the energy loss would account for team based AoE spam (if there was one).
Also: note that it says ALL spells, meaning foe and friendly alike.

Feedback is appreciated

Painful Visions - It feels like a shorter Soul Bind. I'd use it if the duration at least matched the recharge so my Mes could throw hexes around without worrying about keeping this on their primary target. That and you might wanna consider the effect of stacking this with Soul Bind. Good skill though, my mes tends to use a lot of hexes so I'd use it.

Subterranean shift - First, would we get this elite skill for completing the quest that takes us to the EotN areas? (Joke) Secondly,... I'd LOVE to use this skill on my dusty Ele, a reverse of Weaken Knees or Winter's embrace with an AoE ending. Great skill, and it seems fairly balanced.

Dispel Storms - The feel of this skill seems more Mesmer to me, but maybe that's just word 'Dispel' in the name. Either way, it's an interesting way to kill off the AoE spells and would be great in a straight damage build instead of an AoE ele build. One note though: There's no break points for the skill... so even if it's in Energy Storage, anyone can use it to it's full effectiveness. If you want it to stay as an Ele only elite, I'd say add just how many storms are dispelled per attribute invested into E. Storage. Just a suggestion, but it's a nice idea.


Anyway, I have no ideas of my own just yet, maybe I'll think about it in my creative writing class tonight, lol. Keep up the good work though Mia, you and your friends tend to have a lot of good ideas... A-net... Take notes!

idk if that way is the answer but stone sheath needs to be relevant at least one time during the life cycle of this game. it could be argued that stone sheath is the most worthless elite in the game.

Few email submissions....


Necromancer - Curses
"Unearthly Grave" (Elite)
Energy: 15
Casting Time: 2 seconds
Recharge: 30 seconds
Elite Hex Spell: For 8...20...24 seconds, target foe suffers an additional -2 health regeneration every 4 seconds. If this hex ends early, that foe and all nearby foes suffer from Disease and Poison for 3...9...12 seconds.


Basically, wanted a skill that provides massive degen no matter what happens. ^^


Warrior - Strength
"Fearsome Blow" (Elite)
Adrenaline: 8
Attack Speed: Normal
Recharge: 15 seconds
Elite Melee Attack: Lose all energy and adrenaline. If this attack hits, target foe loses 5...9...12% of their current health and is knocked down.

Basically, a good counter to high level, high HP foes like Zoldark, Shiro, etc. Note though, that the health loss is based on current hp, not max; therefore, if used by several warriors in a row, that foe would only lose 12%, then 12% of whats left, and so on. Thus preventing teams from spamming it on a single boss. The energy and adrenaline loss also helps balance this skill out a little for its potentially OP damage.


Ritualist - Communing
"Fear" (Elite)
Energy: 10
Casting Time: 3/4 second
Recharge: 30 seconds
Elite Binding Ritual: Create a level 1...11...14 Spirit of Fear. Whenever this spirit's attack hits, that foe takes 5...18...22 damage and loses 1 energy. When this spirit dies, all nearby foes lose 1...6...7 energy. This spirit dies after 30 seconds.

Some E-denial skills for Ritualists.

Some new submissions from emails

Energy: 10
Casting Time: 1 second
Recharge: 5 seconds
Elite Enchantment Spell: For 1...4...5 seconds, target other ally is healed for 10% maximum health each second.

Might be a little OP heal? I figured Word of Healing would heal for just as much if not more health on a standard character. The healing is over x many seconds, so its still removable and spike-able.


Mesmer - Domination Magic
"Mind Destruction" (Elite)
Energy: 10
Casting Time: 2 seconds
Recharge: 25 seconds
Elite Hex Spell: For 10...27...30 seconds, target foe takes 8...25...30 damage whenever they lose energy as a result of one of your spells. If target foe's energy is zero, that foe takes 30...90...110 damage and this hex ends. This hex ends early if foe is under the effects of another Domination Hex.

Might be a little OP with the ending damage but i wanted a more efficient Mind Wrack in regards to damage. Felt that the recharge would make up for its possible spike damage.


Few more email submissions, but i'll save them for a bit later. Got some real good ones to post later or tomorrow


As always, keep em coming

Far too efficient for the energy cost.

haha agreed, i overlooked that part. i changed it to 10.
Thanks for catching that.

1 second cast
30 second recharge

Elite Enchantment spell. For 5...17...20 seconds, you and allies in the area move 25...30...33% faster and have +1...3...4 health regeneration.

*Edited* ^^

Few things. First off, Abrupt Spasm is OP. Interrupt along with knockdown and damage is pretty OP. either take out the knockdown or interrupt.
Second, whats the point of Rockhide Shell? seems to me that Stoneflesh Aura is way better and isnt elite.
Third, Invigorating Breezes needs to have a higher energy cost and/or longer casting time/recharge.
