World Nerf Greed

I bet that none of you will find anyone who disagrees with this: the "Greed" major ID is completely broken. People have started to combine it with steal, and this allows pretty sustainable healing that makes healing potions and the mage class completely obsolete, especially after the last mage nerf (which I still don't understand). This is why I propose a few changes to Greed:

• The healing effect has to be replaced. There is simply no good way to balance it and it doesn't completely comply with the concept of "greed". Here are a few ideas for replacement abilities:
• Picking up emeralds has a chance to double the emeralds picked up. This would adhere to the name pretty well, but might require some extra coding to prevent abuse by repeatedly dropping/picking up emeralds.
• Mobs drop XX% more emeralds (XX is some balanced number).
• Mobs have a very small chance to drop emerald blocks instead of emeralds (kind of like the previous ability, but might be more interesting).
• Stealing has a chance of dropping more than one emerald at once

Overall, it's pretty indisputable that greed needs some kind of nerf, and it's probably not worth trying to balance the healing effect because A) there is too fine a line between overpowered and completely useless, and B) because it doesn't quite adhere to the concept of "greed".

 

Add. Poll.
And eh greed should be a static heal instead of percentage
For example you could abuse greed+tank and use a vampire heal+ls+hpr and not dying anytime soon.
Edit:1k-2k heal per emerald with like 5 second Cooldown seems cool

 

OK, I added a poll, nice idea with the static heal

 

Just push it to 5% or 10% per emerald.

 

lol what

 

Mages heal got nerfed in patch 1.19.1
It now does, 12%-6%-6%.
-Note, healing to nearby players is still, 20%-5%-5%, this only affects healing to yourself.

On the note of what greed should be, I think 10% or 12% would be nice.
However, I do actually want it to heal other players for 20%. Mostly so it remains a funny way to play a supporting character, but not an op way to heal yourself.

 

It got nerfed in the oatch because first pulse was op. Pre 1.19 it wasn’t 12-6-6, which is why I said that
