This is corrected in 2.00.4b.

I'm not your usual pixel-art / submissions kind of person, but I got bored, and decided to tackle the two skills I had ideas on an appearance for. So, without further ado, I'd like to present you the first ever WaifuApple skill submission, for the Ice and Fire Fairy skills that mage just got. I know it's not all the mage skills, but these were the ones I really wanted to do. Tell me what you think!

Can Penultimate bling be like the new Rose donation item, where in you don't need it equipped to gain the glitter and name color change?

Black Knight is currently in a spot that is considered okay, not completely outrageous or the slightest bit under-powered, its just there, I'd like to suggest a few cool skills to help give shields a sort of tree to branch out to, and help set it aside from demon hunter because tanks with shields are usually better off running demon hunter because matador stance just gives them damage for building defensively.

This is all based off of one change to flatfoot that actually doesn't change it up too much, but compliments one of the skills suggested, that change is:
-If flatfoot is applied to a target with flatfoot already applied, then they are knocked down instead. (this is basically non-consequential, and helps charge-bash users a lot, removing the RNG for spending way more momentum)

Anyway here's my suggestions:

Quote:Pin (Black Knight) - Shield only offensive skill

This skill can only be used with a shield equipped, targets 1 enemy in 1 range and smashes them with your shield, dealing blunt physical damage equal to twice your Scaled STR + a bonus based on rank (10/20/30/40/50), this skill has a status infliction based chance to immobilize for 2 rounds, if the target is flatfooted then the duration is increased to 3 rounds.

Having Enchanted Shield active will cause shield bash to deal magic damage instead, changing its damage type to its element.

Quote:Gambit (Black Knight) - Shield only offensive skill
Lob your shield to a target within 5 range (think hanging targetting) which will deal blunt physical damage equal to twice your Scaled STR + a bonus based on rank (4/8/12/16/20), this will also inflict flatfoot LV = (Rank*3).

Having Enchanted Shield active will cause Gambit to deal magic damage instead, changing its damage type to its element.

Quote:King's Guard (Black Knight) - Shield only equipable utility skill.

Passive: Divert attention onto yourself, make yourself the center of the blast, when an AoE attack is used on you, allies within 5 range (Circle) also targetted by the same AoE gain 20% Damage reduction for that damage instance, only 1 King's Guard takes place at any time.

Active (3 round cooldown): Spends all of your momentum and bunkers down, completely immobilizing you and granting you knockback/pull immunity, as well as (Momentum spent * 10) LV Guard, allies who are considered behind you within King's Guard's radius also gain triple its DR during this.

(NOTE: King's Guard is not intended to apply to the user, only their allies)

Just a bunch of Ghost buff ideas for the lesser loved skills so they'll see a bit more use.


Death Gaze
Suggested Changes: Changed FP Costs, Increased Damage, Removed Unmarkable Condition and Fear/Claret Call mandatory requirements, added additional Claret Call effects.

Death Gaze has been in a really weak spot since it's inception. Even with the changes making it scale on 200% Dark ATK, it's still not quite there with other skills. On top of that, you need Fear and Claret Call before you can even use it and it applies Unmarkable for 2 Rounds. This all means this skill isn't really practical.

Quote:Cost: 24/23/22/21/20FP

A piercing gaze that seems to come from the grim reaper itself. Targets one enemy and deals magical Darkness Damage that ignores Armor equal to 50 + 100% (+25% per additional Rank) of your Dark ATK.

If an enemy is marked with Claret Call, it is consumed and this will instead deal Akashic Damage. Additionally, if the target is already Feared and Claret Call is consumed, this may instantly kill non-boss monsters or otherwise may inflict Silence for 3 Rounds.

Cannot be used while Blinded.

Quote:Cost: 28/26/24/22/20FP

Axe Skill. A deadly blade that cannot be protected against. Deals Slash magic damage based on Scaled WPN ATK (determined by Rank) + bonus damage if the target is marked with Claret Call. If the target is Guarding, and is marked by your Claret Call, they lose Guard and instead gain Guard Break before damage is applied, the Claret Call is then consumed.

Quote:Creates an impassable Gravestone at target location. Anyone occupying that square is pushed away from it, and if they are an enemy, they take Earth magic damage equal to 15 (+15 per additional Rank) + 150% of your Earth ATK. The gravestone remains for 3 rounds (+1 round at Rank 3 and 5) or until you create another one. Enemies within 3 Range of the Gravestone will take triple the bonus damage from Claret Call and cannot be revived while incapacitated.

Quote:Costs 15% of your Maximum HP to use. Cause damage to yourself in order to lessen the pain you feel from enemies.

Gain a full damage shield with a LV equal to 15% of your Maximum HP + a bonus based on Rank. Before your HP is damaged, this shield's LV will be reduced.

While the shield is active, you also will take no ongoing damage caused by debuffs (such as Poison, Burn, Lingering Damage, etc) but healing effectiveness on you is halved.

Rank 1: Cost: 15% HP, Bonus: 15, Duration: 3 Rounds
Rank 2: Bonus: 30
Rank 3: Bonus: 45, Duration: 4 Rounds
Rank 4: Bonus: 60
Rank 5: Bonus: 75, Duration: 5 Rounds

Quote:Cost: 5% HP

Use your own blood to mark enemies. At the cost of 5% of your Maximum HP, all enemies within Range are marked with an enhanced Claret Call (LV is further increased by this skill's Rank*5) and are inflicted with Fear for 3 Rounds.

Quote:Rank 1: 20FP, Hit Bonus: +5, Damage: 10% Dark ATK, 3 Rounds
Rank 2: 18FP, Hit Bonus: +10, Damage: 20% Dark ATK
Rank 3: 16FP, Hit Bonus: +15, Damage: 30% Dark ATK, 4 Rounds
Rank 4: 14FP, Hit Bonus: +20, Damage: 40% Dark ATK
Rank 2: 12FP, Hit Bonus: +25, Damage: 50% Dark ATK, 5 Rounds

Quote:Ghosts, as in the spectres, do not typically carry a lot of weight in their appearance, so it is only fitting when Ghost duelists follow suit. Increases your Hit and Critical when using weapons with 5 Weight or less based on Rank and your Evade and Magic Armor when using armor with 5 Weight or less based on Rank.

Rank 1: Weapons: +4 Hit, +2 Critical, Armor: +4 Evade, +2 Magic Armor
Rank 2: Weapons: +8 Hit, +4 Critical, Armor: +8 Evade, +4 Magic Armor
Rank 3: Weapons: +12 Hit, +6 Critical, Armor: +12 Evade, +6 Magic Armor
Rank 4: Weapons: +16 Hit, +8 Critical, Armor: +16 Evade, +8 Magic Armor
Rank 5: Weapons: +20 Hit, +10 Critical, Armor: +20 Evade, +10 Magic Armor

I couldn't find the old event tools, but I was suggested to make one or find it. So I'll be putting in what I think might be useful.

Narration would be nice- for regular players, just being able to Narrate inside of the house they own would be wonderful.

Weather Control, Being able to control the weather would be great, too.

I'll come up with more in time, but these are two that are pretty minor and don't need too much work as far as I know.

The monster creator needs to be editted, so it's not as messy- at least from what I was told about it.

Monsters dropping exp and items is also something I think should be fixed! Make them zero. Most people don't go to GMs for grinding anyway, but best to fix this either way.

---

On the idea of Event Admins, I think it'd be nice to try to think of people who run events or who can be trusted with it, as well as run test runs if you ever think of doing that.

Here's a few skill ideas I had to make Engineer a little more fun.

Astute Convenience (INNATE) (RANK 1 MAX)

You like to be prepared for a lot of problems, so you make sure you have as many tools as possible to fix them.

Allows you to equip more than one weapon in your item belt.

The way I imagine this one working is that in your Items drop-down menu, you get the option to switch weapons with their names next to the button. I.E: Switch Main Weapon (Jackhammer)

---------------------------------------

Technical Difficulties (SKILL) (RANK 3 MAX) (4 ROUND COOLDOWN) (30 FP)

Learning how to make fancy things also lets you find out how to ruin them as well. Target one enemy within 1 range and disable their items for an amount of rounds equal to Rank.


Thoughts?

Bonder is currently one of the least enjoyable classes in the entire game next to Arbalest due to how thoroughly lacking it is in anything compared to its alternative, the Grand Summoner, with one of its biggest advantages being Auto-Summon, a skill so vital it should probably be a part of the base Summoner class, but that's a discussion for another thread.

So seeing as Bonder is all about the closeness of the Summoner and their Youkai, let's give them something to compensate for the lack of auto-summon and let them instead. Can't get much closer than that, hm?
