Master Gimp. It is an uber skill that is only used on self and lowers all your resistances to 0% and lowers all you attribute stats to 6. ^_^

@GorTavaro
Depending on how exactly the flagging works, "Song of wind" might be quite unbalanced in ganking on human planet.
I like "Spying eye".

I feel this game greatly needs a magic penetration debuff because at this point the pvp involving mages seems more based on luck than anything else. For example, "surrender to fire" drops the enemy fire res by 50% for 30s.

GorTavaro

@Razvan
Yeah. I added it mainly because i am tired of constant walking without mount and skill should be faster to implement than mounts.

Wheel of Teleportune

3hr cool down, teleports you to a random location on the world you’re on.

Gothix

Wheel of teleportune would sadly only be used for escaping incoming PvP when you have goods on you.

Skills main damage would come from weapon damage or have their own base damage

A lot of nice suggestions, hope they can finish the core of the game soon and let us play.

GorTavaro

I have updated skills i posted if anyone is interested.

@maze
It would be nice to have more spells for hybrid builds since only spells that doesn't scale with INT rn are Protection from Fire, Protection from Poison, Cobweb, Blight, Paralyzing Touch and Minor Healing.
Protections are defensive and highly situational. Cobweb wouldn't be useful for melee. Blight isn't useful at all for fight and Minor Healing can be replaced with bandages. Only interesting skill is Paralyzing Touch, they could do more touch spells like that.
Problem is balancing then since normally spells scales with magic related attributes, which makes sense but they could could also makes skills which are paid with health like Second Wind or Endurance. Would you like it?

@GorTavaro

In general I like the idea of having skills do a multitude of things.

and cost can be anywhere from
common Mana, Life, Stamina
or
-Arrows
-Mana Rocks/Runes

or very rare when using a skill the cost can be great
-Durability hit to equipment
-Long debuff timers 5 min to even hour (-10 int sorta deal or -3000 def)
-Permanent debuff (a game I use to play had vampires curse: Skill was a 10 min buff +30% life steal on melee. but permanent life lose)

But back to the original thing. balance for some skills can be made up in utility. the spell damage might fall off but utility of it can always be good. scaling in this game should not be a big factor as we're around the set stats.

GorTavaro

@maze
I was talking about scaling because most spell there is now scales damage with INT and if not they scale cooldown with INT like relocate for example so if you take it with hybrid where you don't have full int and you go vs mage you will be in disadvantage.

I would like to see lot of skills with alternative cost to make things more interesting. Maybe things like Berseker: your atk.spd. and atk. power are increased by x but your INT and CHA are decreased by z. Lot of players wouldn't mind running around with less intelligence than orc warrior and with charisma of rotting zombie if that would allowed them to go murder hobo on everything that moves even if their character would be so stupid they would fail to open a door

I expect there will be spells with material cost in alteration school considering it's description.

Rizzardi

If I'm not worng the number of speels you can memorize depends on your intellegence, right?

If so, how it is calculate?

1 inteligence = 1 spell?

I think everyone would like to know about this before create a character.

GorTavaro

@Rizzardi
https://fractured.gamepedia.com/Attribute
With Basic INT of 10 you have 20 memory, 18 INT = 28 memory, which is currently as high as you can go in character creation but you can further increase it but enchanting amulet, which currently should give you up to +2 with tier 2 enchant(in future there should be tier 3 available) and next text there will be talents which can give you +2.
Reaching 20 in attribute will give some special bonus.
Last info i had was that attributes are capped at 25.

Rizzardi

Ty Tavaro, forgot to ready the most importante section of the game. ill "eat" the gamepedia.

Max Skills are detremined by: 10+INT.

@GorTavaro Keep in mind that only the natural base INT score matters in determining the max skills able to be memorized. Increasing your INT with enchantments only raises your Skill Powers based on INT and not your Max number of skills able to be memorized.
