Vanish Change

As you can see in the title, it's just a proposition : make Vanish spell cost 6 Mana. All the effects (Invisibility, strengh, speed, etc .... ) last 10 seconds and your mana doesn't go slowly down like it's actually.

 

Wait so you want to nerf Assassin?

Well that's a change

 

No ; Vanish will cost 6 Mana and not more. It will no longer slowly use all your mana. And the effect will last 10~15 seconds.

________________________________

And I suppose that Assassin is enough nerfed .

 

I like this idea, I am an assassin and right now, vanish uses so much mana that it is basically useless.

 

The mana drain is there for a reason. I have talked with Salted about this, and it is apparently to "force the player to hurry up and do something" because Vanish without the mana drain is essentially 10-16 seconds of invincibility from mobs.

 

Selvut makes a good point.

Assassins in real life are suppose to quick and cunning. With a longer vanish
comes with invincibility, it would be unfair for players, both PVP and Over world.

 

The problem is that vanish is also used as an escape spell. If you have, lets say, 4 mana left, and you're surrounded by a lot of mobs, you use vanish to quickly get out of the situation, e.g: vanish, run out of the group, unvanish. The cost and drain would be small, around 2-3 mana, but you only used it as a last resort option. If vanish cost 6 mana, it would fuck many people over if surrounded, as they probably don't have much mana left. They can't get out of the group, and die consequently.

 

It also helps to wait out the situation, since at any given moment something can change (such as another enemy appearing on the scene), and by waiting it out, you get time to figure out how to change your attack strategy.
