Game Mechanics New Assasin Ability suggestion

I posted this earlier as an aspect suggestion, but realized that it would most likely not work well in that form, and believe that it would work better as an ability on the ability tree as a purple node, likely on the last or second to last page.

What it would do is decrease the damage reduction of that is given by trickster's clones from 60% to 40%, (or less, maybe even remove it altogether) but in exchange make it impossible for clones to take hits for the player, and thus make them impossible to be destroyed by enemy attacks.

The reason I think this should be addedis because as a Trickster main, seeing all of your clones destroyed (and your damage as well) by a single arrow storm by a random boss's minion can be really frustrating, espcially when you need to wait thirty seconds to get them back.

This would create a riskier playstyle in exchange for slightly more consistent damage, and just in general make trickster more usable in the current meta, something it desperatly needs.

And, naturally, taking this would block the player from taking the last laugh ability.

TL,DR This would be an assasin ability that prvents clones from being destroyed by enemy attacks while reducing the damage reduction that clones give for a playstyle that is riskier, but has more consistent damage.

 

put this on cataclysm lol

 

Could also work as a major ID I suppose.

 

luckily, with the upcoming trickster rework this probably won't be necessary since it plans to remove the survivability aspect from clones

 

Trickster update mentioned :DDDDDDD

 

Interesting trade-off! Could definitely add depth to Trickster’s kit.

 

in what way?

 

they won't tank hits for you anymore (the rework is definitely gonna be better than current trickster though even without the extra survivability from clones)

 

…WHAT? As a trickster main, that sounds sort of horrifying! (The no dmg tanking part that is)

 

we'll see how it plays out ig! the rework looks great overall so i think it would be a good tradeoff personally. plus you won't have to worry about all your clones (and thus damage) getting deleted from a few quick attacks

 

clones having less survivability would be nice- currently they are better at protecting than mantle...
