When someone else is selecting a face icon, what I assume is the graphic used for it will be invisible on your screen but will display a name in the corner (Face Icon Selection) and disallow you from clicking on anything underneath the invisible selector.

This disallows you from clicking on certain things like shops/battle indicators which do not have right click menus.

Using Pray doesn't seem to enhance the duration of any beneficial status effects anymore, I don't know when this happened, but this was testing using the LB immunities and curate buffs on allies, and the duration did not see an increase. The text seems to suggest this is a thing that should occur, and I know this used to occur as I utilized a strategy involving it before.

Haste Rune's Engrave, while usable on allies, only buffs you.

You heard me right. I use Haste Rune on an ally. I expect them to get +3 MV, because my Haste Rune is level 3! Nay; tis I who gets the move...

Anyway, here are the relevant screenshots!




Here is the base move of my character. I have an ally in this fight, and I shall endeavour to empower them!





Huh? My... my MOVE...



I have empowered myself...? No! They have empowered me, through me empowering them! This is the true value of friendship!
Except I have done nothing for my friend.

The setting of Sigrogana Legends 2 is one loomed over by the history behind it's deities. The gods may just be the subject we have the most overall lore about. Though for a long time, playing characters with a strong connection to the gods and their memory has been somewhat challenging. Mercalans, as we all know, are well catered to by the curate class and it's promotions, and while I'm happy my favorite pick of the lot gets so much to work with, I do still think the rest of the gods struggle to find much representation. A player who decides to make a clerical character likely does so first, and then tries to figure out a mechanical build to loosely represent their faith. What I would love to see is a game where the mechanical options available are capable of inspiring more people to want to make clerical characters in the first place.

That has inspired me to write this overhaul concept for the Curate and Priest. Taking some cues from one of my earlier class concepts, this would center around the introduction of a new keyword, similar to Elemental Impact: Divine Attunement, or just 'Attunement'.

Keyword - Attunement: A skill or spell with the Attunement Keyword gains a different name and effect if the user has a Prayer Status with a god loyalty of at least 40, the exact effect depends on the specific prayer status. A skill or spell with the Attunement keyword cannot be used if the user does not meet these conditions. Spells with the Attunement keyword are considered to be of the relevant god's domain, as decided by their Divine Element.

( "Why use god loyalty? And why 40?" The God loyalty stipulation would prevent players from gaming the system by praying to a bunch of different gods to change their spells/skills on the fly in a lore-breaking manner, (with the exception of old beasts, which is intended.) 40 is the level of god loyalty given by the Pious Upbringing trait, enabling level 1 characters to use curate at proper efficacy without needing to resort to god loyalty grinding. )

Assume any skill that goes unmentioned has no changes at all. When a calculation would result in a decimal, always round down.

A synopsis of GR2's impact on the game. Ty to all the homies who proof read this for me.

Some thoughts and feelings on GR2. 

Evade Viability 


I have mixed opinions on post gr2 evade. Its existence induces a skill-tax that needs to be taught to newer players due to it's obscurity and reduces the available class pool to 'Only things with hit buffs lest you deal 60 - 100% less damage forever. It is also very misleading as to how it works.

Currently, the game performs two-hit checks. One initially, another if the first misses.

Hitting the first gives you no damage loss, hitting the second gives a heavy 60% DR. 

In practice, this means you have a (HitChance) of doing full damage, a (HitChance * (1 - HitChance)) of doing 40% Damage, and (1 - HitChance)^2 of doing 0% damage. For those of you who get invited to parties:

Starting with a 50% To hit. 25% To glance, And a 25% to miss completely. (0.6 Damage or 40% Damage reduction)

A 30% to hit gives you 21% to glance and 49% to miss outright. (0.384 damage or 61.6% Damage reduction)

And a 10% to hit gives you 9% to glance and an 81% to miss outright. (0.136 damage or 86.4% Damage reduction)

The difference of 20 hit increases evasion from 40 - 61.6%, with 1000 HP you would go from 1666 Effective HP at 50% Hit chance to 2600 Effective hit points at 30% hit chance, and 7352 effective HP at 10%. (Hence the need for 250+ hit)

For people who really don't get invited to parties, here is a spreadsheet of 250 hit vs evade values. 



So what does this mean?

1. For a starter evade is numerically dogshit unless you are Giga-hardcapped or if the other guy does not have good hit.
   
2. You are not likely to see too many Evaded! procs, but the Damage reduction is there. 
   
3. Going below 250 hit is suicide without buffs.
   
4. Evasion dr is not linear. 
   
5. The +50 Cap should be hit as quickly as possible.
   

• Fortitude (Soldier)
  
• 24 Crit evade
  
• 10% Physical DR (20% Feared)
  
• 6 Defence
  
• 15 Hit (Parry)
  
• -15 CE (Feared)
  
• 15 Hit (FF or Fear)
  
• Parry Reduction
  
• Steel Series (Aura)
  
• Board Shaker 
  
• Crescent Rook (V. Good Scalings)
  
• Checkmate (Autohit)
  
• Hanging (Hit bonus)
  
• Forced Move
  

• Lowering evasion / hit buffs across the bored 
  
• Giving evasion / hit buffs to far more classes
  
• Reducing the evasion cap and base hit by an equal amount
  

• Raising the base SWA % Scalings on non-split moves by 15 - 20%, with exceptions to moves that have multiple sources of damage (Firebird, Ghost etc) and additional focus on typically underperforming damage classes (Such as Demon Hunters Reaver, Monks non-utility skills)
  
• Adjusting the 120 100 skills and allowing SWA to take a larger portion of the scaling. Skills such as BK's Crescent rook or Boxer's Asura's fist completely outperform the majority of their kit by just having higher raw numbers. Lowering each of these by 40%~ and raising the swa scaling on them by 20% would promote SWA as a damage stat, rather than the tangential elemental attack which is typically raised to 70 - 80+ on builds that utilise them.
