Elemental Spells

Extra: i got this idea in the shower ._.

Elemental Spells

So i thought that maybe it would be cool that each class could have its own special elemental spells,
kinda like powders specials but this time requires skill points

Elemental Skill Requirement: 100 Skill Points of One Stat

Rainbow Spells' Skill Requirement: 50 Skill Points of each stat

How would it work?
You will charge it with the time (1:30 minutes maybe?) and you will need 15 Mana to cast them, they would be
casted shifting and right clicking one time, or dropping the weapon when is charged, or when we update to 1.9 by passing it to the other hand credits to @captainganon for the idea of the dropping wep thing and to @SaltyPhox for the 1.9 one

Mage's Elemental Spells

Water:
Freezing Bolt: It will throw an ice bolt (representated with an ice block with sparks around) that if it hits the enemy, it will trap it in an iceberg for 5 seconds, making it unable to both move or attack, then exploding causing 400% DMG to the enemy

Fire:
Meteor Shower: It will cast a massive meteors rain, smaller but with the same visual effects than the normal meteors, causing 40% DMG per meteor

Thunder:
Electric Wave: It will damage the mobs in a 15 blocks radius for 20% DMG, and will increase in a 20% per mob around that area, so this would be perfect for kill a swarm of mobs

Earth:
Nature Guardian: Summons an earth golem that will have a 20% of your health, and will lifesteal a 10% of the damage it deals to the mobs, every hit it does will damage the enemies for 50% and has slow attack speed

Furious Wind: The enemy will start getting knocked to a wall, when it crashes against the wall, the enemy will be continously hit by the wind, dealing 20 hits of 20% DMG

Rainbow Spell

Solar Impact: A solar beam with all the rainbow colors will start hitting the enemy, causing it 525% DMG, but reducing your melee damage in a 25% for 15 seconds (represented with a multicolor effect and exploding at the end as a big cloud and rainbow particles effect)


Warrior's Elemental Spells

Water:
Surf: You will surf a water wave, being able to control it until hitting the enemy, where it will break and damage the enemy for 350% DMG (Area)

Fire:

they also have +100% walk speed and 20% dodging chance

Fire:
Molten Spin: a upgraded spin attack that does 300% DMG, also putting them in fire for 5 seconds, receiving default fire damage (you know, the much you receive when you fall in lava for example, but not that harsh for mobs)

Thunder:
Multi Shock Punches: An electrical multihit that will hit 20 times, doing 15% DMG per hit, and when it finishes, the enemy will get blind for 5 seconds and your walk speed will be reduced in 50% for these 5 seconds

Earth:
Arrow Volcano: you will hit the ground with your foot, opening a small fissure and throwing an arrow rain in a 10x10 circle, causing 50% DMG per arrow (a total of 200 arrows maybe?)
for 10 seconds, also increasing your melee damage for a 25%

Air:
Wind Wave: You will throw an arrow that will follow the enemy, it will move a bit slower (100% DMG) when it hits, the enemy will be followed for a T1 arrow storm, which will damage the enemy for a 25% per arrow (the arrows will appear from the air and has a cloud trail)

i will try to complete this idea with the time, adding new spells and blah blah blah...

Feedback is always accepted! if you want to tell me your ideas, tell me it so i can add it :D

 

This idea is really cool, but i think being able to cast one of these on a cooldown of 30 seconds is a bit too op.
Maybe you should increase the cooldown for these spells

 

ok, what about 1 minute?

 

At least 3 minutes dude.

 

wut about assassin
I can't believe you didn't do spells for your fav class

 

still thinking on spells, give me some time man, im starting with the ones i get first...
also mage and warrior are the first ones im getting ideas for, assassin will come 3rd i guess...

Really though, I like the idea. But perhaps if the elemental spells were more like upgrades to the current spells, it would be easier to balance and make more sense? As in, mastery of an element gains you a buffed spell.

 

This is a brilliant concept, but several problems exist:
1. how is it casted?
2. a 3 min cooldown is very annoying, try to think of a better way to limit casting?
3. How are these unlocked?

 

1. Shift-Rightclick after charging it for a while
2. Maybe make them upgraded versions of current spells instead therefore making them less op than they are now but also not needing a cooldown?
3. 100 sp in a skill.

 

That's a powder special.... the problem is that a simple cooldown mechanic becomes bland and annoying after a while.

 

Powder specials are Shift Leftclick not Shift Rightclick...

 

firstly, you didn't suggest this, so I don't know why you are answering. Secondly,

1. Thats not original at all, powders use the exact same thing, just opposite (apparently). These would basically be powders specials, except activated by skillpoints instead of powders.
2. Whats the point of that then? Why do people need upgraded versions of current spells..? I mean sure, but is it worth the time and effort of coding, adding, implementing, testing?
3. Thats a little much, firstly, and how would you distinguish between which one you wanted to use?

 

Well the reason I am answering is because some of the answers are right there in the thread...

 

I see, well my original questions still apply. My main point was that this issue is unique, but needs refinement.

 

This would be monstrously overpowered in PvP. Even if you only get one per fight, no movement for a full 20 seconds is too strong.

Cool idea otherwise.

 

________________________________

ok, what about 10 seconds?

________________________________

what about it appears with the seconds cooldown instead of %?
it would be shown as a star and at the right of it a 1-3:01-59

________________________________

we could do that, but then i will have to do at least 20 spells for each class... time to brainstorm like hell...

*looks around the thread to see if he put that he based on powders system* in the "introduction" i said that it would be kinda like powders, but based on skill points...

________________________________

and this is why feedback is accepted

 

Oh, sorry, no, I didn't mean 5 for each spell. Though that would be cool too, the upgrades would end up being bland and not feel as unique. I meant a "random" upgrade to one of the spells, depending on the class and element mix. Plus, mastery of the fifth element could result in a boost to Normal attacks, if you didn't want an uneven amount for each spell.

Not sure if this can work, it may have to be a different form of activation (i.e false-dropping the weapon)

 

i will add this, it seems good as long as you dont drop it and dont get back in your inv

________________________________

this gave me an idea for a rainbow spell

time to make these 4 spells, and i will have to add another requirement if its impossible to get 100 SP in each skill

 

when you cant get ideas for assassin and archer...
