Just a few things... (Suggestions)

[Reaps989 17]

Gonna try to keep this short...

 

General

• Remove save checks from skills/mutations - It's an RNG system that hasn't been tuned in 7+ years, it should simply be abolished from a PVP standpoint. Which isn't many abilities thankfully.

 

Weapons

• Remove passive 5m bonus range in system, this is across the board.
• Increase melee listed range to 3m in stats.

 

Skills

• Kneecap (Dirty Tricks) needs dispel values checked to make sure preservation/suck it up cannot dispel it.
• Stanch Wounds cast time and cooldown increased by 1s. (Still think it should be self-only... but we'd have to add another heal)
• Remove passive 7% critical chance given to characters for free, instead split it between Weapon Skill and Precision.
  • This would bring the total at "cap" investment for player level to 29% vs 22%.
    • Weapon Skill would be 2.9%
    • Precision would be 26.1%
  • This increases the gap between pure power builds, power/precision, and most certainly pure precision builds.
    • This does not mean critical chance caps at 29%, obviously like all passives it scales base on total boosted stat. (7.5095 vs 9.8989 per 1%)
• Diplomatic Immunity should remove all armor debuffs off of a friendly target (Not for self)
  • This aura is one of the weaker lines and could use a boost.
• Fix Power's tooltip (6.3% at max for your level) and Weapon skill tooltips (.7% at max for your level)
  • These are clientside actually, serverside should be 90/10 (%) of total investment checks (Was confirmed back before GORE by previous staff)

 

Mutations

 

• Increase cooldown of high damage nukes (direct damage) by 50% (ThermalTK/Sonic would be 30s rather than 20s.
  • It's a "free" hit, given it's potential to kill a target with enough players it should be planned rather than spammed.
• Increase cooldown of Benevolence by 1s
  • A slight nerf to healing.
• Add "mutation/grenade/heavy weapon" protection of 5/5/10/10/15/15/20/20 (%) to Resilience under Enhancement
• Vital Omosis change HoT (or a mix of direct/hoT), most will probably agree this heal got a bit too strong. I'd prefer the old 20s cooldown zone, required positioning.
• Mutations requiring one to "stand still" should root the user while casting, but also increasing cast times of Benevolence/Endless Reserves/Vital Osmosis by .5s (If V.O. remains in it's current state)
  • To allow punishment of healers in PVP, won't effect much in PVE as mobs do not currently switch agro from healing.
• Meditation 5 under Illumination fixed to require 123 illumnation NOT 121.
• ADD A BLOODY METHOD TO USE AN EQUIPPED MUTATION WITHOUT IT TAKING OVER SECONDARY FIRE (Assign it a key of it's own)
  • Huge QoL change, would open up TK/Nano to Dual Wield users that were punished by not being able to time attacks fully.
    
    
     

Would add more but not going crazy here.
