Can we have the ability to wield STAFF battle-items like the Staff(rod) of mending etc in our main/off-hand. In doing so we would get special benefits if we used a power related to it.

Staff of Mending would count as a staff so Graft would get WIL+FAI+Graft Bonus+30 or so for having it equipped.

Staff of Forging would give your 'summons' and 'creations' from Priest more oomph, increasing their attributes by 1.25x for summons and increasing the 'sanctuary' bonus to 1.5x value.

Staff of Poisona would give your poison cure extra levels as well as providing other extra benefits, possibly even going above and beyond and outright removing it even if the person was hex'd.

It'd just be hella, this is just a thought that crossed my head while I was half asleep though.

Can we have Sanctuary not block 'special' tiles that are beneficial to only you and your team. See: Tactician Tiles. It'd increase the synergy the class has with Tactician instead of almost completely nullifying the ability to use your tiles should a Priest decide to drop a sanctuary on your own team. I can see harmful tiles such as Ice/Sear/Cinder not working, but tactician tiles are nothing but beneficial.

Shine Knight says Alondite gives more damage and range.

Shine Knights still seem to only attack from 1 range with Alondite.

God Rod seems to only apply to some Curate/Priest spells and not all of them.

Tested on the following character:



Explanation of the below (Battles in Jammer Cave)

Battle 1:
- Lumia Heals with Graft
- Lumia attacks with Rank 1 Kel
- Lumia attacks with Rank 1 Holy Spark (2 Jammers hit)

Battle 2:
- Lumia attacks with Rank 1 Holy Arrow
- Lumia Attacks with Rank 5 Divine Shower (2 Jammers Hit)



Rank 1 Graft: Will +2
Rank 1 Kel: Will + 6
Rank 1 Holy Arrow: Will + 2
Rank 1 Holy Spark: Will + 3
Rank 5 Divine Shower: Will + 18

Verdict: God Rod only applies to select spells. It does not apply to Holy Arrow or Divine Shower, and possibly others. Requesting someone who has the other spells to test with Shine Ray and Gentle Torrent, as Lumia lacks the SP for them yet.

Can we have it so that you can't recharge mind if you did it the turn prior? It's kind of annoying if you accidentally press the wrong ubtton whenever you thought you were magaisendo'ing.

Are Shine Knights not supposed to get the VIT bonus from their VIT stat? Because all they have at 60 is 330 HP, which is very lackluster for a Rank C invocation when Youkai are monumentally more efficient.

Basically, as the title suggests, this is a thread of buffing various base class skills that I feel are lacking (some classes have more than others).

In general, the main suggestion I have for a majority of Skills (particularly the Offensive ones) is tweaking FP costs to lower when increased (save for some Skills like Mad Chop which receive a huge benefit when increased)

Anyway, moving on to specific classes:

Soldier:

This is, intended to be an easy solution, and way to provide easier access to (certain) guns in the game, this way Gunners don't have to have a heart attack trying to find something decent to use before either getting an arena weapon or something.

Crafting Book: Guidebook to Guns

Guns in the book:

Handgun (1)
5 Ore
1 Gunpowder

Autopistol (2)
5 Ore
1 Gunpowder
1 Empty Mana Crystal

Shotgun (2)
10 Ore
1 Gunpowder
1 Geode

Rifle (2) (A basic, non-excel, rifle. It could probably just use the icon, or as a placeholder until it gets a better one. Increases crit by 10.)
10 Ore
1 Gunpowder
1 Tuning Crystal

Crafting Type: Metalwork

Constant Required Material: Gunpowder

Now, guns, can be powerful weapons, and their specialty is to bypass defense. They still won't be able to be upgraded at a blacksmith, but just acquired in an easier way than now. If guns become craftable, they should be limited to one positive quality. So basically, only one of, Sharp, Precise, Deadly, or Lightweight.

This suggestion is mainly, to make basic types of guns, easier to acquire for gunners. All the fancy stuff, go find in a dungeon.

Randomly, when looking through the crafting list, I came across this.



This is, a Polearm, Type: Polearm. It is the only weapon in the game like this; and I'm not sure if it's SUPPOSED to be redundant, or if it was supposed to be a staff or something else.

Explain, please.

A few weeks before the class came out, I had a feeling it would; Lispool, the storyline with Ashe, all that jazz gave it away if you think about it. Well I decided to script up ideas for the class, not officially knowing if it was coming out. Never finished it, but I threw out some skills ideas during the build up; and I figured maybe some of them could still be viable to add to the class. This is in no way meant to change the design of the class, rather than it is to extend onto it.

The skills being pitched for later addition;

Support Skills:

Mediaha:

Rank D Invocation

Cost: 40 FP, 4M

Target: Single Ally

The pinnacle of all healing spells, infused with both the power of Mercala and the user, their combined willpower can bring strength to those who are near death. Can only be used when target is at 25% HP or below, if at 0 HP they will be revived as well. Cannot be used when Silenced. Cannot use healing spells on that same target for 2 rounds after using Mediaha. If used on self, effects are halved after calculation.

Rank 1: Heals target by 25% of their max HP.

Rank 2: 35 FP. Heals target by 25% of their max HP + a bonus based on user's WIL/3.

Rank 3: 30 FP. Heals target by 50% of their max HP + a bonus based on user's WIL/3, and causes them to gain a regeneration status for 2 rounds, making them regenerate 2% of their max HP up to 10 HP.

Pariah of Illness:

Cost: 40 FP

Target: Single Ally

Reaching beyond and using the embrace of Mercala's purity itself, the Priest is able cure someone of all of their illnesses. But to do so is a sacrifice its own. All negative status effects (including incurable ones) are transferred from the target to the user, but their duration is also reset.

Rank 1: Learn skill.

Passive Skills:

Divine Lance:

Through using the power of the White Lady's blessings, the Priest is able to enchant their polearm with magic, causing them to enhance their ammunition with Mercala's power. Equipping this skill allows your polearm to do an additional unresistable 10 Light Magic Damage, the effect is halved and rounded down if Priest is not your main class.

Rank 1: Learn Skill. Damage is increased by 1.5x if main hand weapon is a Staff.
Rank 2: Does not take up a skill slot.

Staff's Blessing:

Through using the power of the White Lady's blessings, the Priest is able to bless their polearms with magic, causing them to enhance the accuracy of their polearms with Mercala's power. Equipping this skill increases your polearm's hit by a bonus based on rank. The effect is doubled if your main hand weapon is a Staff.

Rank 1: +2 Hit (Polearms only)
Rank 2: +2 Hit (Polearms only)
Rank 3: +2 Hit (Polearms only)
Rank 4: +2 Hit (Polearms only)
Rank 5: +2 Hit (Polearms only)

Innate Skills:

Purity of Heart and Soul:

Those of Mercalan faith and practice resist the temptation of corruption and strengthen their faith in the White Lady herself. Although this strengthens the spirits which try to harm them.

Rank 1: Resist 10% Light Damage, and 10% Darkness Damage, but takes 5% extra damage from Undead, Ghosts, Vampires, and Possessed racial types.
Rank 2: Resist 20% Light Damage and 20% Darkness, but takes 10% extra damage from Undead, Ghosts, Vampires, and Possessed racial types.
Rank 3: Resist 30% Darkness Damage and 30% Darkness, but takes 15% extra damage from Undead, Ghosts, Vampires, and Possessed racial types.

Holy Protection:

Holiness wards off spirits of evil and combats them. Although, if not directly prepared to fight it, it won't work as well. If Priest is not your main class, effects are halved.

Rank 1: Learn skill. + 20% Status Resistance (10% if Priest is not your main class) if weapon is equipped with Holy enchant.


And for those who just want some fun little tidbits;
