Game Mechanics Furious Effigy Buff idea

Panic Zealot's Major ID Furious Effigy is an almost fun major id that doubles the speed of totem effects.


After deciding to make a build for this item, I was thinking "Wouldn't it fun if this major ID make your effigies panic (go faster) as well?"

It does not. Even though they come out of a totem, they are treated as a summon and not a totem effect, so they do not.

But why not?

After dropped into the Bottomless Pit, this relik gained sentience from Dernic Influence.
Panic Zealot is hella fast. He's cranked out the wazoo, completely cronked, absolutely hammered. MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE YOU HAVE TO STRUGGLE BUT IT WON’T BE ENOUGH

Assuming the Relik "Panic Zealot" is meant to embody the boss that was once a normal relik, then wouldn't it be more fun for this relik to showcase its previous energy through influencing the effigies?!

Exactly what I want:
Summoner's effigies walkspeed to be doubled as an additional inclusion of the major ID "Furious Effigy"

Would this be doable?
Sure, I don't see why not. Including the effigies in the idea as "totem effects" rather than only a summon would make it fit. This would enable it from being a one-archetype only type major id. most major ids apply to two or more archetypes. without adding text "Effigies speed are doubled" but instead just subtly including the effigies as "Totem effects" would allow this to fit.

Does it fit with Wynncraft?
Sure does, atleast for the relik Panic Zealot. There is another item that shares the same major id. I believe the buff is fitting.

And that's all! thanks for reading

 

Oh god increasing Effigy DPS sounds terrifying yet also hilarious

 

most things are already slow enough for the effigies to constantly do their damage, but this idea came up when i realized that Greg out runs the effigies lol

 

I don’t know if I understand what your saying fully cus it’s late but what I got out of this is that with the major id summons should have x2 walk speed wich sounds amazing and I agree

 

added an "Exactly what I want" part so people don't need to read the thread to get the suggested idea
thanks for pointing that out

 

yes i need this in my life

 

thanks we def need this i also wanna be able to get the major id on more than 1 item and have speedy summons lol

 

Probably needs a nerf then, maybe a little bit of -raw spell?
Or maybe not and it'd just be comical.

 

Well, it's specifically just the Effigies, but if we included all summons I don't see the issue with that either!

maybe adding a +spell cost% for 4th spell (uproot) would suit just fine

 

Honestly?
Here's the thing.
I am a steadfast Panic Zealot fan (coincidentally, both the item and the boss, but right now I'm just talking about the item). I love this thing with all my heart. In terms of DPS, sure, it gets outclassed by . . . level 60 reliks (Lightshow), but the -spellcost% means that you can spam that thing as much as your heart desires and it won't get tired. I personally have yet to fight someone using this relik, but reports say that fighting against this thing is nearly as stressful as fighting against the boss itself . . . nearly. Something like this would honestly be perfect for this item (all summons would have their speed boosted, preferably, so that the item didn't totally lock the class into Summoner), because it would make fighting against it that much scarier. I think this could be accomplished without nerfing the item, as it already has quite low dps, and is outclassed by such items as Overdrive (alright, fine, most items are outclassed by Overdrive, but there are other reliks that are better than it).
This is a great idea, En1gma-approved.
