Part of it is that the Lusternian player design aesthetic, as compared to (for instance) the Aetolian design aesthetic, is dominated by really fantastically over the top and melodramatic everything. You're either floating around in a cloud of wispy…

I don't think that would help fortressing, it would just make the item swap from fortress to fortress periodically.
-
I mean, ditto.

(Quote) Treelife is blocked by protection.

Yeah, three rune dprophs are pretty dumb.
-
You actually got really unlucky there. You got hit by four of the prep affs: disloyalty, luminosity, clumsiness, disloyalty. At that point Saz sees the fifth aff needed: another disloyalty. The last combo finishes the preparation by hitting disloya…

(Quote) The problem is a fewfold. First it's still fundamentally a writhe cure, so there is almost no interplay with the rest of... anything. The druid starts allergies, builds allergies, saps, does nothing but spams thornlash. For most of th…

(Quote) Is this a response to my question? Being off balance doesn't stop writhing. Even if it did, going off balance while already writhing doesn't cancel the so it wouldn't on its own (as presented) do anything to help lashes.
-
There are other ways to capture "area control" as a combat niche that are less binary and conflicted.
-
Passive lash sans any other changes doesn't make thornlash viable. It makes it "more viable" technically because you're dealing more lashes per ten seconds , but removing sap removes the core solo/small group viability of thornlash so its a net loss…
-
There are a lot of issues with that path, though. The most pressing and obvious is that Druids share 3/4 of their tertiary skills with other classes that don't necessarily need any buffs. Shamanism could be buffed up (and would need to be, it's stil…

IMO, A good conceptual middle ground is for demesnes to be non-exclusive (or, less exclusive), roll back meld dropping on death, and populate melds entirely by effects that specifically deal with area control e.g. ashfall, stonerain, blizzard. That'…
-
What I mean by that is reduce the importance of melds to mages and druids, not reduce the importance of having mages and druids.
-
Yeah. The ostensible niche that sap holds right now that holds together druidry and the secondary/tertiary skills is "cure buggering", forcing the victim to cure afflictions in a restricted manner, where the order of operations is very important and…

I mean, good warriors kill with decap so...
-
IMO as above. Dramatically reduce the importance of melds, rework melders. That's a really big project, but I think it'd be worth it in the end.
EDIT: In partial elaboration, meld mechanics have been the game for a long time and have req… -
It's part of why bards - and particularly tarot bards are so tremendously important for groups. Being able to lock the focus target out of easily tumbling for a while and empress them back into the room before they get back balance from tumbling is …
-
In the Crek proposal, what is the purpose of allergies knocking people off balance?
-
My concern with solution 2 is that it's either going to be a fast enough build up to kill or... not, and the simplified curing system means that there is less the user or victim can do to to affect those rates via tactics/strategy. That's why I'm no…
-
There probably is a small non-scalar portion we're missing, and of course cures have a strong scalar portion that increases the power of your sips etc.
-
Make Beast 4-6 seconds randomized , and 10%+5% per aff. Cap at 5 affs, move the slush slow effect down to 4 affs.
Increase Blade to 6%, same timer as Beast. The thought here is that if you are already hitting 4 mental affs regularly wi… -
EDIT: Sorry, juggling numbers around. Hold on.
-
Yeah. The scalar portion of beast needs to come down, possibly with a small upgrade to the base damage. The time on it should go to 6-7 seconds as noted (perhaps slightly random).
A good baseline for beast could be 8-10%+4% per aff (ins… -
Numbers are too high for beast, plans to revisit tomorrow in prep for war.
-
It was certainly in the design doc. Beyond that, shrug.
-
All motes should be converted but there was a hiccough and you mugjt have lost them. Sorry!
-
Hung dream catchers should be generating motes per day\month
-
(Quote) You can't block yourself being beckoned. So it would require two people to do that at the exact same time, which is beyond the scope of "What can I do to counter this?".
-
To be clear: You should mark a dreamcatcher and leave it in your inventory forever more. It's something you need to have on hand to use most of dreamweaving, as a focus for your motes. In that sense, it's kind of like an ecology fetish - you never n…
