Game Mechanics A bunch of Acrobat changes

I’ve been thinking about Wynncraft a lot recently, so I’m putting all of my thoughts/suggestions about Acrobat in this post.

New ability!
First off, a new ability, Skystrider.
Skystrider: For every 2% Walk Speed you have from items and abilities, Lacerate and Dash gain (a reasonable amount of) horizontal momentum. It could just be a flat increase too, but still, walk speed would add a lot of diversity in builds. Me and some other people agree that Acrobat doesn’t have enough horizontal momentum, so this simple little change would probably add a lot.

AP changes
To make space for this new ability…
Ricochets can be one node, so you can get two shuriken bounces from one AP. 1 ability point recycled so far

Righting Reflex should also be one ability point. I don’t think it is used enough to be worth two AP, especially in the late game. 2 ability points recycled!

Particle effects for other abilities

Next, particle effects for some abilities would be really nice. All you really see is Jasmine Bloom, Lacerate, and Multihit, so this would add some… coolness.
Here are some of my ideas, they aren’t the greatest but I did my best.

Flow State creates a burst of blue elemental energy and makes an after image of the player for the duration of the ability.
Pirouette creates a small, light gray slashing particle where the player jumped from. It will disappear quickly though.
Parry slightly edits the spell that was cast freely. (Lacerate has a darker outline, Dash has a trail follow the player’s feet, Multihit has a bluer tint, and Smoke Bomb is lighter)

I think that some stuff like this would make Acrobat feel a lot more interesting and fun, especially to an onlooker. It has like 10 different abilities that all do awesome things, but half the time you don't even notice them because you can't see them.

Better Lacerate/Shurikens

Lacerate could have a 5-6 block range below the player, so it actually has a chance at hitting something without having to go really low.

Also, Shurikens should count as a Main Attack with a very/super fast attack speed. Powder specials and mana steal is basically impossible on Acrobat without super slow attack speed. Shurikens would provide an easy way to get MS/powder special without being overly broken.

Weightless nerf

Okay last one.
Weightless should give 0.7 mana like normal. I feel like this change was undeserved, because you now need twice the mana regeneration just to sustain normally. There are a lot of builds that have less than 40/5 mana regen, and those could barely sustain before the nerf. Now even a person with 50 or 60 mana regen might have trouble. Another way to nerf Trickstobat is to increase Weightless’s Acrobat requirement. Then make Psithurism or Wall of Smoke give an Acrobat point. This way, you need to invest more in Acrobat to get the vital abilities.

That’s all I can really think of. Hope you enjoyed reading it and maybe something similar to these suggestions will be added in the future. Have a nice day/night!

 

I think this change could be cut, since one of the abilities lets you angle your multihit anywhere, including down, and smoke bomb also helps with hitting stuff below you. Lacerate doesn’t really need this hitbox change imo.

 

It isn’t necessary, but it would be very useful gameplay-wise to be able to more easily attack an opponent with a relatively high-damage ability.

Oh wait I read that wrong. I meant Lacerate along with Multihit and Smoke bomb, I guess it sounded like I thought Lacerate was the only way to hit something. Sorry about that

 

huh where have i seen this before...

basically after images. thats what ur referring to

 

hmmm i wonder where

yeah exactly

edit: ok i fixed it thanks!
