AEROCHEMANTICS - WINDWALK

Syntax: AEROCAST WINDWALK
        WINDWALK, DESCEND
As the sky is the home to all aeromancers, you can simply walk on the

       Syntax: AEROWORK CATALYST CLOUDKILL
        Power: 5 (Matrix)
  Damage Type: 50% Electric, 50% Asphyxiation

well as warping time around them in a delayed blast.

AEROCHEMANTICS - ALTOSTRATUS

Syntax: AEROWORK ALTOSTRATUS FIELD
Outlay: altostratus 1

You are now able to transmute the altostratus reagent. By releasing the
altostratus reagent from your batteries you can create a field around
yourself that will last one Lusternian day. When you focus your field
upon a target, the particles in your field will passively cause asthma.

altostatus fields, the resulting product will cause damage to all
enemies in your room. The implosion will cause extra damage to those who
are dizzy, sensitive, asthmatic, epileptic, or suffering from aeon. The
sheer force of the implosion will stun your enemies with those who
suffer from the above afflictions being stunned longer.

AEROCHEMANTICS - STATIC

    Very cool skillset! I like the overall look and theme for this one! Go go engineers!

  • Reflexive aeon and lazer beams. Sounds like good times to me.

    So Vacuum is the new Glinsharibomb!

    Seriously though, that's one hell of a skillset. Static looks to be amazing crowd control, and there's a lot of roomwide damage in there too, hopefully this will get people to consider trying Halli and start an org resurrection.

    The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations, Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."

  • Oh, man. This is super cool.
  • Off balance, aeon, stun and forced-move/stun/prone as passives on enemy attacks look nasty. Question is what the chance for each to fire is. Definitely a very nice skillset-theme, though.
  • I see we're slowly upping the game on pissing off monks and one-handers. Now there's not only 2 passive combo breakers, but also a trans skill to do that as well. I'm looking forward to the pyros getting 4 passive combo breakers and a trans skill that spams combo users with a big smiley face showing off their middle finger.

    Vacuum looks even more potent than Glinshari. I almost feel sorry for the Aquas. They get 3 (or was it 4? I can't remember if the first sheen gave pacifism or ego drain) of their 5 boostable affs from their uncontrollable passives, removing any chance of them applying it strategically. On the other hand, Glinshari get faeriefire (lol) for one of their boostable affs while Vacuum gets 3 out of 5 of their boostable affs from their 10sec, unblockable fields. Of course, doesn't make these afflictions any easier to stick, but w/e.

    Let's get numbers on that static ability, it seems hilarious. You can run away from people... and if they track you, they only hurt themselves and you run away again! Hahaha.

  • PortiusPortius Likes big books, cannot lie
    If I wasn't the Institute's administrator and I had the lessons to burn, I would seriously consider switching guilds to get at this. I can't speak for the combat factor, but I think whoever did the design on this absolutely nailed the flavor.
    Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.
  • ShaddusShaddus , the Leper Messiah Outside your window.
    The flavour text for applying FocalTip is fantastic. Just saying.
    Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

    On-attack offbal, stun and aeon, plus a chance to knockdown, stun and fling away enemies who attack or enter. What could go wrong?
  • ShaddusShaddus , the Leper Messiah Outside your window.
    Three Aerochemantics could take out any team with triple Cloudkill. War Seal for the win.

  • Two questions. Why is it not called Aeromechanics, and why did this have to happen on moving day? I would also like to note that silver is one of Halli's lowest stocked comms.

    Because we wanted the opportunity to twirl our mustache and laugh caustically in your general direction.

    (Or because those are just the way the dice roll, and we don't look at your comm stocks, we prefer the '-chemantics' theme, because you aren't Aeromechanics but Aerochemancers, and why did you plan your moving day on our Aerochemantics release day?)
  • UshaaraUshaara Schrödinger's Traitor
    No % rates to back up this claim, but I don't foresee the dynomatic (aeon) cloud being a problem since it'd need to fire twice in quick succession to get past quicksilver.

    Biggest unique to aerochem issue likely to be forcewall.

    Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
  • So how powerful is forcewall? Can you gust the user past? How do you stop it? How can you get through?

    If its 100% stops all movement through, including trying to move the user that would be nuts. I am hoping its like windwall, % chance to stop.

    Try double Cloudkill, or even single. A cloudkill with no affs was wiping me out for 97% health.
  • UshaaraUshaara Schrödinger's Traitor
    Way past my bedtime and was focused more on getting the lines out so if someone else hasn't fully tested forcewall, will do tomo, but initial impression is very powerful for group, not useable solo.

    Seemed to be 100% entry/exit prevention, prevents tumble in that direction but doesn't stop if raised after initiated, pogo was bypassing it but waiting for bug resolution there. Didn't check gusting past, and imagine anything that makes the user do -anything- will drop it.

    Can't wait for the "Use the Force!" clan call though! :)

    The ugly bit will be if forcewall holders can be salted while holding forcewall, though I think abilities that go over the wall will still be able to go over it... hence pogo, possibly stag leap and acro backflip.

    Cloudkill says Elec/Asphyx at 50/50 rate, so it might not be too bad with hold breath... and if you're like me and have the nice 15 resist elec curio.
