Khrone 648 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Ideas to make Warlock survive longer (and therefore easier to level up): Increase Life Exhaust healing, but decrease Dark Seal effect to balance. Black Seal Rework: Reduces the enemy's healing effects and any damage done to the enemy with the Seal, heals Warlock according to the damage dealt (Example: a hit from Dark Sphere would heal more than a hit frol Pool of Darkness) to a maximum of (?). Increasing the skill level increases the healing reduction, the percentage of damage that is healed and the maxium possible healing. New skill. Simple.

Khrone 648 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) 1st idea: Shadow Transformation The Warlock turns into pure darkness, drastically reducing the physical damage taken. (after all, it's not possible to attack a shadow) 2nd idea: Shadow Travel The Warlock blends with the shadows, becoming invisible and dramatically increasing movement speed, however, he cannot attack or use abilities. The ability can be used even in battle. Any skill and scroll / potion with the effect of seeing invisible enemies is useless (because you're using magic) It may look OP, but to compensate, it could be: HP cost High Mana cost (10% every 5 seconds, so if the player is invisible for 25s, it would reset your mana. Obviously you would stop using it before that). Edited June 24, 2020 by Khrone TheCaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course, if you attack/or use abilities, the skill cancels itself. In some rare cases you would really use it in battle.

Grimoire has got a pretty decent resist chance on all the major bosses. For example, st myth boss has a debuff remover skill that instantly removes all debuffs from itself and provides 100% resist for a while. It's one of those skills that looks really good when you read the description but turns out like one of those products you ordered online and get ripped off.😅 and in pvp, resilience comes into play and the skill doesn's affect resi and other dmg reduction skills. I want to successfully apply grimoire to a BD (100% resist rush + Spirit of resistance) before this year ends. Maybe I'll post a photo commemorating that achievement. 6 hours ago, Khrone said: So in the right levels, this combo can reduce 100% of the enemy's Magical Defense?

Khrone 648 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Garahan's Protection Type: Passive Whenever Warlock's ability is resisted, he gains a bonus that ignores the next damage done to him. Buff time: 10 seconds* Cooldown: 5 seconds** Maximum number of buffs: 1*** *Of course the Warlock will not ignore damage for 10 seconds. The buff lasts 10s, when attacked during this time, the shield is activated, like the Charmer's passive. **If the enemy resists again during this time, the shield won't activate. ***No double shield, of course. Maybe it's purely PvP*, but i can't think something similar that would help PvE and PvP. *This would make it possible for Warlock to solo some bosses, as they almost always resist abilities. Position Change Type: Active Range: 6m The Warlock teleports to the selected location, changing positions with the enemies. All enemies* in a 3x3 area are teleported to where the Warlock was before. *Of course, it has a player limit. OR Shadow Travel Type: Active Range: 5m The Warlock teleports to the selected location, causing damage in a 3x3 area where he was before. Basically the Mage skill in reverse. My first idea is to increase a little the Pool of Darkness damage or hit frequency My second idea is a Shadow Sphere rework: First suggestion: After the level 3, the Sphere will deal 50*% of the damage done to the main target in a 3x3 area around it. *Just a suggestion, it can be higher or lower. Second Suggestion: If the Sphere is used when Warlock has more than 75% mana, it will deal 60% damage in a 3x3 area around it.

Higgings 1824 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 7 hours ago, Khrone said: What type of buff? Damage? Control? Defense and more debuffing skills; enough with Stuns, you got like 2 or something. Defense - either a resisting skill or a buff after Stone Body's effect. The most logic buff that comes into my mind is to increase the numerical def by X% (where X equals 25-50-75-100% depending on the level of the skill) of its actual defence (that means that it can be buffed by shamans/charmers for the sake of the so beloved Teamwork this game likes to offer) after the effect of the skill itself. The debuffing one shall be something like the effect of the new Mage's skill... sorry for my mage companions, but [SARCASM DISCLAIMER] you guys basically stole a skill that warlocks deserved more, in my opinion.

TheCaster 362 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) 15 hours ago, Khrone said: Isn't it almost the same thing? Nope, very different things. The base defense of a cloth armor class is low in itself so even if you provide % amplifiers there it won't make a tangible difference in the case of warlocks. You also have to take into account the enemy's pene stat in this case and fero if in the case of players. So the damage reduction will be low when compared to an actual skill that provides damage reduction in most cases. Damage reduction works independently. Let's say you're supposed to receive 1000 damage from someone, If you have 80% damage reduction you receive only 200 damage regardless of any other stats like pene, resi, fero etc. As opposed to a mage skill that can ignore any damage regardless of the number every alternate attack whether its 1000 or 10,000, you need to come up with a stronger suggestion @Khrone. xD Don't hold back.

Khrone 648 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) I made a Mage Rework too. Life Exhaust Increase healing in low levels of the skill Dark Circle Increase stun time in low levels, so PvE Warlocks would still benefit from it. Pool of Darkness Increase damage or hit frequency (or both) Make it unresistable. Shadow Sphere Deals part of the damage in a 3x3 area around the target if the skill is casted if the Warlock has more than70% of maximum mana. Stone Body The player can walk while the skill is active. Even if it is slow, it can walk. Or give a shield after the skill effect, idk, something good. Bloody Tribute: If the player uses Life Exhaust during the effect, it lasts for more time and deals more damage (and consequently heals more, so Life Exhaust + Dark Seal + Bloody Tribute would heal a lot, but costs a lot of mana). Make it unresistable (idk if it already is) Other skills: Decrease resist chance of debuffs like Grimoire, Dark Seal, etc. If Life Exhaust is casted while the enemy has Pool of Darkness debuff, it causes more damage. OR If Life Exhaust is casted while the enemy has Fear debuff, it deals more damage and lasts longer (deals 2 more hits). The Life Exhaust damage won't stop the Fear. OR If Arrow of Darkness/Shadow Sphere is used while the player has the Life Exhaust debuff, it heals a percentage of the damage done to the target depeding on Life Exhaust level.

Khrone 648 Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Black Magic Type: Active When used, increases the effect of the next skill used and mana regeneration. Decreases the cooldown between Expert Skills. Obs: Only a few skills will change. 1/4: +10% Mana Regen and 20% reduced cooldown between Expert Skills. 2/4: +15% Mana Regen and 40% reduced cooldown. 3/4: +20% Mana Regen and 60% reduced cooldown. 4/4: +25% Mana Regen and 80% reduced cooldown. Skills that changes: Dark Circle: Increases stun time and max number of players affected. Pool Of Darknness: Highly increases the damage and causes slow. Increases the max number of players affected. Fear: Damage can't end the effect. The effect lasts for more time. Shadow Sphere: Mana won't affect the damage. (Yes, max damage even if you has 1% of mana) Power of Relaxation: Increases 15% (if Black Magic is 4/4) of the magical damage and critical hit during the Black Magic effect (50% mdmg and 25% crit at Relaxation max level) Stone Body: Can move during the effect, but slow. At 1/4, the slow is 60%. Every level of Black Magic reduces 20%, so at max level, you can move freely. Fading: Increases slow and stun time with Pool of Darkness combo. Zone of Weakness: Increases silence time and max number of players affected. Hex: Increases damage and silence time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sphere already has a combo with relaxation, it would be difficult to use so many combos effectively in battle, don't you think? How making life exhaust aoe btw? And increase its potency like those bats in st normal and stackable ? (Exhaust cd would have to be reduced for this to work effectively) Those bats have only 3k hp ish but hard to kill them sometimes because their exhaust stacks, much more powerful than lock exhaust at 5/5 and they have a very good amount of dodge. (lock doesn't dodge obviously) And Dark seal can be made a passive debuff, that applies to all enemies in combat with the warlock every certain number of attacks or once every 10s or so? Works on unlimited numbers in pve but 2-5 players max from 1/4 to 4/4 in pvp scenarios maybe? Edited July 10, 2020 by TheCaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still prioritize for survivability and aoe dmg increase skill reworks over more control for lock. 8 hours ago, Khrone said: The player can walk while the skill is active. Even if it is slow, it can walk. Or give a shield after the skill effect, idk, something good. Only defensive skill a lock has. I see why everyone is plying to get some changes here lol.
