Game Mechanics Flow State/Parry Rework alt version

hello CHAT

ok we keeping it simple here. so here's a variant of a Flow State/Parry rework but something more in line with Crystalline Snake which is like, a really small change instead of a full rework which Linny and Xavier really liked so we're doing that with Flow State and Parry as well

as always, this has @Elysium_'s stamp of approval

Before:


After:


Differences:
- Flow State no longer has a cooldown
- Flow State buff decreased
- Flow State buff now stacks up to 4 times
- Flow State buff can now last indefinitely (but only if you don't stop hitting stuff)

These changes are still to resolve the issues we think Flow State has which I explained here (tl;dr: flow state cd is as awkward as vanish cd but instead acrobat returns to pre-flow state boringness but with more damage). But instead of making a whole new ability I just changed up Flow State's numbers so it'd be a much easier change to make. Overall this would give acrobats a nigh-permanent boss bar up top that's always filling up and resetting which is a LOT more hype than just seeing that happen for 1s every 15s.

ok next parry

Before:


After:


"Wait, this ain't like Parry at all"
ok I know it's nothing like Parry, but it's more like Elusive:


People don't take Parry because as acrobat you can just... not get hit anyway bc of how fast you are and how good your range is. Another thing is Parry having zero functionality if you don't have Agility in your build, which is unlikely but it still sucks and is very limiting. Also it's really awkward to have to intentionally play close and pray that 1) you take damage and 2) you get a dodge, just to make the ability do something, especially since acrobat is all about avoiding damage to begin with. So instead we based off of Elusive (a boltslinger ability at page 7) which works more with acrobat's evasive playstyle.


ok that is all like and subscribe

 

dev-time friendly reworks: episode 1

 

YEAHHHHHHHH *makes a whole new class*

 

don’t worry, as long as it doesn’t use proper grammar it is “dev-time friendly”

 

Hello, I'm currently working on a class suggestion and would love to know how you create those custom abilities. I know it's just text attached to an item in Minecraft bus is there a simple and easy way to learn to do this?

 

I made a tutorial for it right here! (it's also linked in my signature)

 

can’t wait to see what you’re cooking
