Game Mechanics New Arcanist Ability

New Arcanist Ability for better damage, since it’s kind of lacking in comparison to other classes and archetypes that are supposed to have high damage (maybe 400k dps max)
Mana Capacitor:
Arcane Transfer creates a mana capacitor at the block you are facing, up to 20 blocks away. It absorbs damage and acts as an enemy, triggering life steal, mana steal, etc. for 5 seconds. Casting another arcane transfer detonates the capacitor, dealing damage stored proportional to your mana bank. If not detonated, it gives you 50% of all mana used nearby during those 5 seconds (including other people)

Range: 20 blocks
AOE: 10 blocks (sphere-shaped)
Damage: 1% off stored damage for every 1 mana in mana pool

this would help Arcanist be more “bursty” like in the archetype description.

 

Sounds too complex. It could just be a "Archane Transfer places a bomb". If you want it to scale that is fine but acting like an enemy and giving mana back based on mana used is too much.

Also what should be "high" dps, I have seen Divzer glass cannons reach 1m dps, with 300k arrow storms. Other classes talk about reaching 250k dps. Either way, Arcanist definitely needs something because I have only seen 1 person with a decent mage dps build. However they had almost full crafted ETW and died within the first 10 seconds of TNA.

 

Yes, it is complex, but I feel like Arcanist is lacking in skill cap right now. Currently the “difficulty” in Arcanist is click fast and am your thunderstorms, and yet the Wynncraft website says it is max difficulty. Also, I can’t imagine that this would be too hard to program; just summon an enemy that does nothing, find the missing health, and multiply by mana pool/100 + 1.

i think this is a wider issue...

 

Damage is a bit heavily inflated right now but I still think arcanist should be near the top in comparison to other archetypes.
