  Totality Finality

It's been suggested before, but can we get a way to check our total resistance to various elements?

  Bonder Stuff: Fast Offense, Shared Pain
Posted by: Kameron8 - 07-04-2015, 05:08 PM - Forum: Bug Reports - Replies (1)

1. If you Fast Offense and summon a Youkai on turn 0, when the enemy is 'sneaking', the Youkai will end their turn without acting if they are not within range of their primary skill. This is likely because they're coded as the rest of the AI is.

2. Damage taken from shared pain is calculated without taking into account def/res reductions. It seems to cut the damage in half for the primary target, then subtract res/def from the remaining damage. The target taking damage from only shared pain will take half the damage without subtracting def/res of any sort. This results in the skill almost never making the Youkai and Bonder 'share the pain' equally.

Proof:

Kilkenny and Quiet Armored Man have identical resistance of 28. Ruby beam is cast on both with shared pain up, however Quiet Armored Man has 5% earth resistance from Geomancy.

Cast 1: Target - Quiet Armored Man

Shared Pain! Quiet Armored Man and bonded allies share the pain!
Famine takes 34 Earth damage.
Quiet Armored Man takes 0 Earth damage.


Cast 2: Target - Kilkenny

Shared Pain! Famine and bonded allies share the pain!
Quiet Armored Man takes 29 Earth damage.
Famine takes 3 Earth damage.


The Ruby Beam would deal 68 damage on its own without shared pain and 0 resistance. One target takes 68/2 - Resistance, while the other just takes 68/2.
The same targets are both struck with needle, which does not have its damage changed by Resistance. In both cases, the Youkai and Bonder took 45 damage.

Solutions:
1. The easiest way to fix this would be to make shared pain's damage type reduced by defense and resistance when the incoming damage is not ignoring them (such as needle). This is probably not the best solution, however, because it makes defense and resistance much more effective while sharing pain. If this was used in the Ruby beam example, Famine(Kilkenny) would take 3 damage while Quiet Armored Man would take 0.

2. Take only the damage the primary target would take, after calculating def/res, then split it down the middle. No matter what, both the Youkai and Bonder would take the same damage ( Damage - Def/Res / 2 ). This is a fair approach, but will end up invalidating the defensive stat of the secondary target.

3. The damage taken is calculated for both the Bonder and the Youkai (defensive stats subtracted individually) then cut in half. To give an example of what I mean: If we have a Firefox with 10 Resistance bonded with a Bonder who has 50 resistance, striking the Fox with a 110 damage Ryemei will deal

110-10/2 damage to the fox, (50)
and 110-50/2 damage to the Bonder. (30)

The third option is the one I believe would work best.
If the damage of shared pain being unresistable for the secondary target is intended, I will move this to Balance Fu instead.

  Can illusions no longer count as tactical allies?
Posted by: iDarkCara - 07-03-2015, 07:53 AM - Forum: Balance Fu - Replies (7)

Would it be feasible to have illusionary butterflies created by Papilions not count towards the Tactics Rank 'On-Death reset'.

This would be a direct buff to my play-style as a whole, or anyone who uses tactician and papilion butterflies,
edited for reply Rendar
To clarify, you can use formations on them and orders. But they do not apply for purposes of using the actual orders; charge order does give them additional movement and their attack appears to be increased through attack order but your tactics rank will not increase. Formations will give you a tactics rank if all slots are occupied by butterflies at the beginning, but you will not get additional buffs for having other allies occupy spots.
While they have one-hp and will instantly reset your Tactician Rank to D on death.

I do not think this would be a major buff overall, but feel free to throw counterpoints.

Thank you and goodnight.

  Seriously, Buff Tacticians
Posted by: MegaBlues - 07-02-2015, 10:59 PM - Forum: Balance Fu - Replies (1)

It's our third installment of "Why Things Suck!" Today's guest, Tactician.

So, alright. Tactician, overall, is a pretty neat class with some good ideas and useful skills. They can't really beat up on the enemy themselves, but they super-enable their allies. And that enablement only gets better when their allies listen.

However, that fabled Tactics Rank is shot to pieces whenever you take damage. Especially from multihits. This means that you don't really want to be in range of your enemies. However, for some of their skills, you need to be close to your allies! Who are, presumably, fighting your enemies!

I really hope why everyone can see this is a stupid thing, and needs to change.

I suggest that Formations / Analyze Weakness / Enemy Evaluation be able to be used within range of allies as well.

Also that Attack Formation has its targeting inverted, so that the middle square can actually be placed on the Tactician.

Also that Field Medic be changed to boost the power of Items used. Seriously. This skill is useless as hell.

Title explains it pretty well-enough. Possibly different sort options for different lists... I just find it would be really helpful to have something like this. :?:

  Absolute Depth
Posted by: Soapy - 07-02-2015, 04:03 PM - Forum: Balance Fu - No Replies

AD has gotten more than a few changes since its original conception, slowly bringing it down from being completely gamebreaking to being almost useless.


I see two ways of bringing it back into viability:

  • Increase the LV scaling, probably 7-8 per rank (for a total of 35-40%).
Just a flat numbers buff. Good enough for it to be worth using, but not ridiculously strong like it used to be.
  • Let it affect magic damage again, instead of just physical.
This makes some 'quirky' builds a bit more viable, and makes Power Gradation slightly less terrible. This doesn't do a lot to stop the problem of it being not worth the effort for most standard Kensei, so I'd still probably give it a (small) LV boost with this option, raising it up to 6 per rank (30% total).


Giving it too much of a boost and letting it apply to both types again would turn certain 'quirky' builds into death machines, though, so I wouldn't really recommend doing that.

  Excel is not an on-hit?
Posted by: Autumn - 07-02-2015, 02:10 AM - Forum: Bug Reports - Replies (2)

I found it weird while testing out something, we were testing out Steel Aura and on hit effects and we were testing if Excel would be blocked by it because the tooltip does state it as "on-hit" effect, consuming the charges there.

[Image: 319077d24c.png]

However when we tested it in game.

Explaination:
First Makido hit Spo without the charges, and he did about 50 damage
Secondly Makido hit Spo with 3 charges of excel, doing about 150

Thirdly Spo turned on Steel Aura then Makido hit her with 3 charges, still doing 150 damage to her, meaning that Steel Aura did not block the "On hit" effect that is in the Excel description.

Thought I'd note this out, could it be an oversight? Or was it intentional?

  [Youkai] Obtaining Youkai without a contract
Posted by: THE Xecron - 07-01-2015, 12:38 PM - Forum: Bug Reports - Replies (2)

Contract
(The Youkai doesn't seem to particularly want anything.)

(The Youkai eagerly makes its way into your ranks.)

Drowned Woman has joined you!


This is what happened when a character that did not have Summoner as a main or sub class and was taken into the summoning house by a summoner. The character ALSO did not have a skill point placed in Contract. They simply clicked on the Drowned woman, tried talking to it and it joined them. No questions asked. I am not sure if this should happen or not.

The bug in question is regarding non-summoners being able to make a contract with youkai when they don't even have contract unlocked.
