Special Powder Combinations Idea | Create Pseudo-elemental Powders By Combining Elemental Ones

I'm used to more... responsive, forums. In the forums I'm used to, people respond a lot.
I'm used to 'a thread is dead if nobody responds after several bumps.'

 

@xXHappywheelsXx I saw your thread... I thought you might be interested in this.

 

Bumpity bump.

 

change it to Life
the way i see it, is that earth is more rock based than life base.

 

Earth + Thunder: Darkness
Armor: Enemies that hit you have X% chance to get blindness for X seconds
Weapon: Melee hitting mobs that are blinded will combo-hit them an extra X additional times each hit converting any earth and thunder damage into darkness damage.

Earth + Air: Storm
Armor: You deal an additional X% Storm damage per block traveled
Weapon: You sprinting speed is accelerated every tick you sprint by X% for X seconds

Thunder + Water: Light
Armor: Increases your base health regen's speed by X per health missing
Weapon: Teleport X blocks toward an enemy and create explosions along the way of teleportation, each dealing X damage and converting water and thunder damage into light damage.

Water + Fire: Vapor
Armor: Every time you are hit, you knock back every enemy in an X block radius for X blocks.
Weapon: Move yourself and every enemy in an X block radius up X blocks and deal X vapor damage.

Fire + Air: Steam
Armor: Increases your life steal by X% per health missing
Weapon: Heals you for X% of max health

All Basic Elements: Rainbow
Armor: Adds X skill points in each element per successful hit
Weapon: Pierces through X% of enemy elemental defense
(to get a rainbow powder you need to combine 4 blank powders of the same tier)

 

Wood is one that I think is already perfect in name. Life seems more like a force than an element to me, and the fact that trees need both Water and dirt to even grow means it fits perfectly as an element you get by combining both water and earth. I hope you understand. (Plus, wood is an element already, just not one of the commonly known ones.)

My thoughts are in bold inside the quote. I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind me taking the names and some of the effects and making my own versions. That would be nice, and then I could add them to the thread. I was thinking everything could be more like an entity than a material, much like what I have listed below.

Earth + Air == Force
Thunder + Water == Light
Fire + Water == Vitality
Fire + Air == Energy
Earth + Thunder == Chaos

 

Sure. What I made were just some quick concepts I've thought were interesting, some of them aren't really good though. I didn't make the names because I'm not really good at naming and already had a lot of trouble finding the appropriate elements.

I don't think the Chaos (or your Vitality) would be hard to code since it's essentially Arrow Shield and Charge combined.

Also, Earth and Air don't feel like "Darkness" to me, and it doesn't make sense with some of the current duo-element items, such as Horizon, Hero, Aries, Dune Storm (where I got the name from), Dondasch, etc. I chose Thunder and Earth for darkness because many Earth/Thunder items have more darker themes (Limbo, Delirium, Petrified Horror, Krolton's Cruelty, Brainwash, etc.), but I guess "Force" works too.

 

meh. good overall concept, just gonna nitpick about your elements
metal isn't necessarily and ELEMENT in China, same with wood. they are closer to deities

and aether in greece is definitely not an element, but a primordial deity representing the pure, upper air

 

Wikipedia lied to me!

 

How about this then?

Earth + Air == Force (Formerly Darkness)
Thunder + Water == Light
Fire + Water == Vitality
Fire + Air == Energy
Earth + Thunder == Chaos (Formerly force, now chaos because I think ground+thunder sounds more like chaos than darkness, and they are similar.)

This also makes Force vs Energy make more sense as well.

 

Yeah, this works.

 

scammed!!!
