World War Scream Change: Taunt

So the current tier II of War Scream is pretty bad. For this who don't know,


War Scream Grade II (Lv.46)

• Hunger: 6
• Damage: 30% per hit
• + 15% Defense bonus for 3 minutes
• + Air Shout, throw a projectile with high knockback that can go through walls, dealing 20% damage multiple times
• ❋ 25% ✹ 75%

The Warrior has two other abilities that have CC(crowd control), Uppercut and Bash. There is almost never any need to use this ability unless you're pushing an enemy very far away. It's a cute little bonus but it's practically useless in any PvP or PvP situation. As a warrior you want to get somewhat close to the enemy to use your low range, so pushing enemies 40 blocks back is useless. Plus, there are plenty of times where my knock back will accidentally blow an enemy through a wall and make it impossible to kill.

This is the change I wanna make.

War Scream Grade II (Lv.46)

• Hunger: 12
• Damage: 30% per hit
• + 15% Defense bonus for 3 minutes
• + Taunt, shout in all directions, causing all mobs within 20(could be 10) blocks to become enraged and forces them to attack the Warrior for 10 (could be 7 or 5) seconds
• ❋ 25%

This change would make Warriors infinitely more useful in parties and would allow them to focus on a tanky build that wouldn't make them completely useless. I have a few friends who have a tank focused build and don't even do enough damage to kill enemies because the enemies heal too fast. I know they could change up their build a bit but then funds are the issue. It wouldn't be broken because of the mana cost and the fact that it only lasts 10-5 seconds, whichever would be decided on. This buff would do 3 things.

• It would give Warriors a better role in fighting bosses or facing large groups of enemies in a party.
• It would add more team play and strategy during PvE.

Thanks for reading and I hope it wasn't too much of a wall of text.

 

30/20 blocks is really too much

 

You're right. Changed it.

 

Did someone say taunt?

 

This is a good idea! I have never played as Warrior but I do know that they have the most defense (like you said) and this would be a really good change.
------------- Downsides -------------
For example, you are in a battle and since the war scream spell used to deal large knock back, you use it to push away your enemies since you have low health right? But if you use it it wouldn't knock the mobs back. It should have its knock back nerfed but have it stay.

 

The war scream is currently meant as a strategy spell for warriors so they can get out of sticky situations by knocking stuff back. Luring mobs to the warrior defeats this purpous.

 

Lol bash or uppercut do this just as well. Just uppercut all enemies and dash away while they're in the air. You don't even need to jump away, just walk because of how long they're in the air haha.

 

Yes, but there's a reason warrior spells have knockback, it's because they're already a class made to take a ton of damage, and they might get into a sudden issue.

 

It's just pointless to have 3 abilities that have knockback. Two of them do decent damage with insane knock back already and War Scream just ends up being useless. This would make the tankyness Warrior's have more helpful to everyone.

 

One flaw is that, well, this isn't possible.

 

Well it is, but it would need god knows how much code to work.

 

There's no way to force a player to look and attack something at all as far as I know, at the very least not without without several years worth of waiting, since we only have 1, maybe 2, coders.

 

Nope, just one.

 

It wouldn't be possible either way, the player would have to be put into a reskinned mob made to attack the player, while invisible, and while in a spectator mode. Not only would that take ages to code, but it would lag so much to spawn in a mob matching the players skin, with the armor and preferences of the player, etc.etc. also, this would have to take damage that the player takes, transforming that number into player health. It has so much buggy potential. Not to mention if armor skins were readded, that would be painful.

 

thanks guys <3

 

All what's wrong to your statement basically is that it's impossible, all it is is laggy, and near impossible to code. Either way idea=not happening

 

Oh, that wasn't sarcasm by the way. I was fairly certain it was impossible, but he claimed it was, so I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. I was actually thanking you for confirming my statement and sort of backing it.

 

:D

 

Use the "None" color, not white.

 

Didn't think about that. I was just talking about PvE.
