Game Mechanics Yellow node after base spells for all classes

I think that maybe the speed boost after dash is a bit short... For the rest fantastic ideas!

 

Thanks for your input! 2 seconds of speed isn’t much, but the speed boost is pretty strong with a short cooldown. It was created with the intention of helping Dash become more of a “get in, get out” kind of spell, so you can easily engage and disengage in combat nearly whenever you’d like. A long duration isn’t really necessary to fulfill this purpose.

On second thought, I don’t think that Fleet of Foot needs a cooldown anymore. I don’t think it adds to the gameplay or fun in a positive way.

 

By the way, where do you think the Atree points should come from? Maybe making another ability cheaper?

 

I haven’t thought about that, thanks for pointing it out! I’m not really sure where the points would from lol. However, making some abilities cheaper is probably a good start. For Assassin, Sticky Bomb could become one AP, as it is commonly used in builds of al three archetypes. For Shaman, maybe Nature’s Jolt or Storm Dance? I don’t know about Mage, though.

 

natures jolt for sure, isnt useful at all

 

honestly instead of just copying archer for assassin you should just make vanish be that passive instead

________________________________

and as for shaman ye idk that one doesnt even make sense ... maybe move natures jolt to there so summoner isnt forced to take 2 yellow nodes to get to its first passive where everyone else only needs 1

 

Really tried to not copy archer with assassin with Fleet of Foot lol. I personally think they are pretty different, as the only similarity is a speed buff, but that’s just me.
I don’t think that having Vanish become a one-cost yellow node would be a very good change. Acrobats could take it without sacrificing any of the archetype’s abilities, and it’s pretty powerful to be accessible at such a low level. Also, what would replace Vanish on the tree?
I think that Vanish is in a good spot in the tree. The archetypes that utilize it can take it easily, and the archetype that doesn’t has to go out of its way to get to it. You can’t get it at too low of a level, and its node color and cost are fitting for its strength imo.

Also, I’m sorry if I’m not understanding what you mean by “passives” correctly, but Shaman would only have to take one extra ability to get Nature’s Jolt, which is an elemental mastery node that only costs one AP.

(the circled ability is nature’s jolt and the little dot is where it would be hypothetically moved)

 

Im saying that look at the first red passive on the ability tree ... before that passive every path only has 1 yellow node except for summoner ... summoner ends up getting stuck with 2

 

So I'm assuming that by "passive" you mean ability.
Yes, the other archetypes only have to take 1 yellow node each to get to the first red node. If Nature's Jolt is moved, what would replace it? It would likely mean rearranging that part of the tree, or adding a new ability, which, in my opinion, wouldn't be worth it for changing such a small thing.
I'm not a CT member though obviously so take it with a grain of salt, that's just my opinion.
