[SW] Balance Suggestion series - Survival, Self-heal/Absorb
Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2020 5:33 pm
Hi community,
The following is part of a series of proposals for SW changes. Here is a balance change with the intent to fix the various inner problems of the SW. The overall strategy/approach/context are described at the beginning of this post: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=39743
The problem here is to address Shadow Warriors survival. SW is one of the only class that lacks self-heal or absorb, which is an obvious oversight.
It is simple you are obliged to invest A LOT on heal pots as if they were part of SW's core abilities
.
If you take a closer look at the quatuor SW/SH & WL/Marauder
Shadow Warrior: Bload-soacked War (Tactic). Which works when you kill. Somewhat useful in PvE < 40, completely useless in RVR. To be reworked in my humble opinion.
Marauder:
- Gift of Monstrosity
- Tzeentch's Reversal (M3)
- Deadly Clutch (Tactic)
- Warped Flesh (only useful for lowbies)
SH:
- taste like chicken (skill, core)
- tactic "Da Smell don't bother me"
- taste like Stunties (Skill, path of the Bouncin)
- tactic Ere Squiggy
White Lion: Tactic "Furious Mending"
And I will not mention here BW and Engineers, both have healing abilities and/or tactics.
Rework Proposal:
- I propose to have change "Hunter's Fervor" in a way that totally fit the Character design:
- Hunter's Fervor in Assault Stance: Heal by 250 hp per sec during 9 sec to all party members. CD 60s -> this is equivalent of free T2 pot
- Hunter's Fervor in Skirmish Stance: Give +15 AP per sec during 9 sec to all party members. CD 60s -> +5 AP is really really sub-effective. In comparison 1 Eagle Eye is 40 AP
- Hunter's Fervor in Scout Stance: Gives +15 morale per sec during 9 sec to all party members. CD 60s -> because it is simply truly gives a significant incentive to bring a SW to your part compared to a BW, while increasing the depth of your own gameplay.
-Proposal number 2:
- Sinister Assault: Brutal Assault will now bypass all enemy's armor and Isha's will grant you a magical shield absorbing the damage for 50% of the damage dealt.
both are not mutually exclusive!
Let's discuss, Swizz.
