How to use this Forum

[Tapeworm711]

To find a particular skill use the SEARCH function. This will bring you to the exact thread you need.

Post any info or questions you have about that skill. All data that is agreed upon will be updated in the first post of that thread (Eventually ) .

All numbers are on a scale of 1-5. 1=Slow(low) 5=Fast(High)

As far as the numbers are concerned, they are based off of "Bullet of Fire"
We consider Bullet of fire to have Average (3) Velocity, Homing and Recovery speed.

For now, all (short) skills will have a N/A in Velocity and Homing.

Its easy, fun and informative. Enjoy!

Also, Phreaker should be posting the updated Spreadsheet with all of this new info on it. I recommend grabbing it, printing it out, and filling it out from there. Then make your posts. Thanks again.

Air: Useable in Air (self explanitory)

Velocity: How fast the projectile travels (1=slow, 5=fast)

Homing: How well the projectile tracks the target (1=poorly, 5=well)

Recovery: How fast you can use the skill(or another) in succession (1=slow, 5=fast)

I think there should be a casting speed attribute to factor in the time it takes for the casting animation to complete (Ex: Armaros). Or is this already factored into Recovery Speed?

[Kamizar]

Its taken into account. The speed at which you can knock off another skill is ultimately determined by the legnth of time it took to cast the first one.

I.E.

the recovery time of armaros is 2 and the recovery time of Psycho knife is 3-4ish. You would have a better chance of defending after using the knife.

i feel that it is necessary to change the homing measurements. all skills have the same homing, but when you really look at it, the homing is different between rollers, wheelers, and jumpers. a jumper could dodge spammed screams of evil, but a roller/wheeler, hell no. on the other side, rollers/wheelers have no problem dodging a reincarnation, but a jumper would have no chance at all.

so i say that when you note the homing of the skill you are posting on, mention the specific homing for the character types you play as. id: if you're a jumper, then only mention a jumpers equivilent homing for this skill, and let a wheeler and a roller post the homing for that skill accordingly.

No, the system is fine. Like I said, things like joke of anubis obviously have better homing than fire of gehenna. The reason why FoG is harder to dodge as a jumper than a wheeler is because of its velocity. The reason why joke is easier to dodge as a jumper than a wheeler is also because of its velocity. The slower the projectiles are easier to dodge as a jumper, and harder for a wheeler. FoG can't follow a character around in circles like wisp can.

The system is fine. People reading it just have to realise the connection between velocity and homing and how that effects the different character types.
