Game Mechanics I tried to make a better Fatal (funny)

So I was thinking one day, why does a fucking Warp do more base damage than Fatal? Aren't thunder mythics suppose to have the highest damage? So I made up this interesting Fatal design that would make it deal more damage than Warp while having aspects that keeps it back from being overpowered.



So this would have zero base damage, very slow attack speed, some dexterity, and a lot of negative defensive skill points that would make tanky builds totally impossible, it would also need a lot of negative melee damage to avoid it being too op for melee (the negative damage on the picture might not be enough), a lot of mana steal, and keeping the spell cost changes.

The gimmick of this design is the 100 powder slots, this would allow you to put 100 thunder powder on it, achieving slightly higher base dps than warp. The drawback is that putting on the powder can be very annoying and might cost a lot.

Don't take this seriously because I'm not trying to make anything good anyways.

 

Fatal….already tends to deal more damage than warp due to its stats and honestly is in a pretty good state right now, being probably the (one of the) most selected mythic wand(s) for riftwalker. There’s no need to make it a divzer clone.

 

how does it deal more damage? my highest damage achieved on a fatal build was like 40k meteor, it easily soloed qira with archanist tho

 

It can get up to at least 45k in ETW with entropy and some spell cost items. It can probably go higher if damage was a much bigger focus.

Warp also gives a combination of hep-c and radiation poisoning if you so much as look at it. You either play at 1 HP or you build around it, which kills damage potential. Can you get a high damage warp build? Definitely. Can you get a well-rounded warp build with good damage? Maybe, but not nearly to the same degree as fatal. Honestly fatal is probably in the best place of all mythic wands right now (although the increasing requirement for tanky builds definitely isn't doing it any favors).

 

A couple people have covered the main reasons already but another you mustn't forget is: thunder items tend to deal more damage on average than air items

I could see why one might want to rework/buff Fatal because it does feel a little boring but that's okay; Fatal is very good and not in need of a buff AND not every mythic has to be super gimmicky like Divzer

 

i really wish they can make items with hundereds of powder slots so it would be funny and expensive to deal damage with

 

"you want to use your mythic? too bad you will have to spend 20 le on powder slots"

 

yep 10 character

base dps: 7500
Result: Basically thunder-only specialist that can teleport at this point lol

 

nice 10 character

 

Singularity already exists for that purpose

 

singu garbage it only have 15 powder slots

 

Just because something doesn’t shred everything doesn’t mean it’s garbage.
