SO a running theme of promotions in this game is Expanding upon the ability's of the base class

Mages turn into evokers which give them stronger nukes or hexer's which turn into status affliction nightmares for example

Which leaves me to wonder Why did we never get a better Blink or Elemental Buffs for Light Dark Water

ARCANIST with a Grimoire by their side allowing them to do even more complex incantations and spells they can meddle with space and time to fuel their magic

Grimoire: Level 1 Passive A gateway skill into the arcanist tree much like how summoner's need contract In battle It give's you an ability to summon your grimoire to the field if it is already out it desummons it and resummons at a new location for 3M

Level 5 Blink Other. With the Flip shot skill we were introduced to a new kind of targeting so let's make use of it by targeting one person with one end and somewhere else with the other end you can force someone else to reappear probably very far away from YOU Increase Range per level

Level 5 DIMENSION RIP! Target one enemy and a Location you rip their asses from spatial causality and force them to reappear at a site your your choosing doing damage basically an offensive Blink Other

Level 5 Enchant Dark (dev can think of a better name) does what it says on the tin works like the other mage element buffs +Resist

Level 5 Brief Respite Gain 1 FP per rank when transporting yourself with Blink Blink Other Swap Position or Mass Blink.

Level 5 Mass Enchant Allows you to hit an area with your enchant spell this is a huge support skill freeing up accessory slots from badge users and giving mages a reason to turn auto cast OFF allowing the arcanist to select the right buff needed.

Level 1 Enchantment Override allows Arcanist to Override other enchantments the point of this ability is twofold #1 to change enchantments at a whim #2 to apply enchantments already on someone refreshing duration when it's convenient or when you can do nothing else

Level 5 Shadow Bind A Dark Damage "beam" type attack if enchanted with dark you can bend the beam up to twice to allow for trick shots may inflict immobilize

Level 5 Trident Bolt Causes a Fissure in space to fork one projectile into three the space between the tridents forks can be expanded or decreased

Level 1 Double Cast. Causes any projectile spell to be replicated by your Grimoire (you can change the direction it fires this spell the same way you can toggle which target your aiming when you use flip shot) the projectile cannot be altered (so shadow bind would fire as if unenchanted)

Level 5 +will. a skill that gives you more Will the arcanist's main stat

Level 3 Spacial Fold gives + Range to Arcanist Skills

Level 5 Implosion deals untyped magic damage drawing all enemies to the Center if enchanted with light they are hit with a corona of light damage if enchanted with dark they are hit with the same except dark damage

Level 5 Sunder a One range spell that knocks down the target Casting it on a knocked down target sends them flying backward any enemy they collide with on the way take untyped magic damage.


Sorry had an Idea and needed to share let me know what you think of some of the abilities. and sorry it's not in depth as my geomancer attempt.

Current Total Estimated SP 56

Edit. TIELS changed to Tiles. DERP

Edit removed Enchant Light and Hearthlight Skills. Added Brief Respite A skill which gives the arcanist a bit of "Rest" when leaping through space to new locations I mostly stole the idea from a book where every wizard has a interdimensional hide away that they can stop at before arriving with their translocation spells. Added levels to the skills.


Suppose i should go over what I want Arcanist to do. Well Battlefield Control literally the ability to move things about and arrange them as you wish
That one monster out of range of your allies charged mind Vydel? reposition that booty directly in the line of fire ally surrounded by black beasts on seto stage 2? yank them up to you or just out of the line of fire in general team struggling because they are fighting enemies that resist them? untyped magic damage deals with that

It also gives the mages a Sniper Archetype which they currently don't have (explosion does not count) I suppose you could use Rye maybe.

is Sigrogana big enough?

QOL

Cherry Tree Buff needs an icon and maybe an range indicator
Expert's Aim tool tip should tell you that the Longdraw buff is REAPPLIED next turn
Androcobra give it an attack range indicator Ive been using it AND I STILL can't tell where it's going to fly.
Make Cherry Tree A valid target for forest walk
Give Rain Trap a "thing" a bonus or something for using hand trigger with it out?

Buffs?
Nest range increased to 11 Two reasons for this #1 Otherwise forest walks max range of 11 is kinda a waste of points #2 Forest Walk is kinda a joke when ranger has other mobility options all of them can be considered better TLDR Forest walk seems way too situational
Might not want to do this if you make cherry tree a viable forest walk target Also might want to put these buffs as extra levels on nest of nests

Forest Fiend Buff Annorum Damage increase per plant object burned give it a little love and this way using it is to obliterate people swarming your nest locations


Nerfs?

Slight decrease to gentle garden's healing output

Game you were banned from: SL2
In-game name (key): Masterdarwin88? Probably?
Reason you were banned: I requested PVP from people who were RPing
The length of the ban, if you know: Until 1978, according to BYOND
Who banned you, if you know: Sly? Probably?
Why we should unban you: Because it's been five or six months and my rare appearances really don't cause any harm. My friends are playing again and I'm just interested in playing with them and not bothering anyone else.

Could we be able to hover over the numbers in our Companion's statsheet?

Can Intensify Cold's ice weakness and frostbite durations be increased to 5 turns each? Nearly other (if not every other) buff/debuff invocation has a 5 turn duration, making it feel as if Intensify Cold is outdated.

The game lied to me. The bomb seems to be exploding two rounds (or one? m-math) earlier for some reason.

I want my 460 Murai back. >: (
