Cataclysm Major IDs

Spin attack works 3 times, but the damage is reduced by -10% per Spin attack. The 3rd Spin attatck triggers and pulls enemies in.

 

Please no
1st we don’t need another boring damage buff
2nd this would be totally useless for acrobat unless it added another lacerate slash (which is boring)
3rd pulling enemies in is just death magnet on (ignoring rage grimtrap here) the glassiest assassin mythic there is, this would just be a death sentence for any non-acrobat etw-player. There is a reason it was made an optional upgrade after 2.1 or so. Additionally this would be another spell which flings around bosses, making the experience of playstyles such as shadestepper and sharpshooter even worse than it already is with uppercut spam.

I would prefer cata to stay useful with all archetypes, so it probably should not have a major id which limits it to a certain playstyle. If anything it should get a qol one like Nirvana or Weathered, but i don’t think it needs one as it already is so strong.

 

maybe an ID for cata could be every third spin attack guarantees a critical strike? still has the dps to it but dosnt affect other players or mob movement

 

I actually really like this idea, but I think it would be better suited for Grimtrap (since Cata already gets you to 140 dex it would not be too much of a benefit) and triggering on every 3rd multihit/powder special. If it plays a sound after the 2nd one you could time it to supercharge attacks with shadestepper (or potentially the acrobat “ultimate“ which is planned according to the Assassin rework thread on Discord) by using a build without dex and still getting crits

 

Third spin Root(can't move) enemy

The part i was referring to as “ultimate“ was the part where you dive down with reworked flow state combined with jasmine bloom exploding, which will likely deal a lot of damage in one hit. Don‘t know how useful it will be in practice though

 

i think it should have some critical dmg bonus id or major id what gives some crit dmg

 

There's normal IDs for that .

 

Paper cut: Spin attack deals damage over time (bleed effect) but costs extra mana
