Skill Tree Suggestion (wip)

~Concept~
The player is given the option to "upgrade" skills upon reaching level 71, where they will be give a new form​

of skill point for each skill at level 71, 81, 86... and so on.

Spoiler: Menu

Each skill for every class will (should) have the ability to become a new skill or stay the same which won't necessarily be stronger, but instead add a new gimmick and potential for combos for the class.

~The Skill Points~​

At lv. 71: 2x point

At lv. 76: 2x point

At lv. 81: 3x point

At lv. 86: 3x point

At lv. 91: 4x point

At lv. 96: 4x point

In total: 18

~Further Information~​

Each initial skill point for the spell will be able to "spec" it and develop it, after the skill changes its form (ex: Meteor becoming a beam) every point invested will increase its quality or quantity.

~Skill Section Notes~​

• "Additional Specs" are the abilities you can spec into from the evolved skill form. Some specs can be combined, some will cost more points and can't be used with others to balance things out. I'll try to go into more details with reference pictures later on in the thread.

such detail much wow very like xd

 

This is *cough every mmorpg *cough

 

And wynn is an mmorpg bb ;D

 

But so far it's stayed uniqueish.

 

huh, wynn? its pretty much a basic mmo with similar elements and concepts

 

I read assassin


me like very much

 

no bias on whats being brainstormed first at all

 

Small Update: Added 3 paths for spin attack, check em out to see the gist of my idea.

 

Spin attack is now "finished" (Stats will be added later when I can bother with my pseudo balancing) Heal is next on the list.

 

Well this thread is not that finished so I can't judge it right now, but the ideas stated in the beginning sound good.

 

I like it, but I think this should be integrated into the skill point system, where you use skill points to do this starting at lv 1.

For example, 20 agility at lv 10 would be the same as the current system, but at the same time, progress into a skill tree of some kind.

and I didnt finish reading the thread, but ya know how there are 5 upgrades per spell? Yeah. 1 upgrade=1 element like fire/defense, earth/damage, air/agility, etc.

so skillpoints upgrade both spells & your average skillpoint stuff

 

Not a bad idea, but the system I've made so far, I feel adds more chances to mix and match and create interesting combos with cool gimmicks. I'll try to convey this idea better later.

 

I love the idea, but this is gonna take you like a decade to finish.

 

cool idea
has a lot of details even tho its still wip, gj

 

More skills have been added for all classes, specifically war scream, teleport, and bomb arrow.
