Powders Idea

So... We all know that elemental powders are coming out, and that various items have slots to put powders on them.

But the content team has been very decisive about not telling us what they will do. Now they could just boost the stat points, but I highly doubt it.

Now they content team may not actually have a plan for them yet (but they probobly do), in which case they might be open to suggestions.

So here is my Ideas on what the powders should do:


Basics:

So the amount of effect of each powder is based on accumulative level. So 2 level 1 powders is the same effect as 1 level 2 powder.


Air:

Weapon: Increases knockback dealt

Armor: Reduces fall damage or increases speed



Water:

Weapon: Chance to pierce armor.

Armor: Very Small Chance to heal on being hit instead of taking damage



Fire:

Weapon: Chance to light enemies on fire (would require re-working fire damage)

Armor: Makes hits against you do less damage (increased defence [as well as health] )



Earth:

Weapon: Does more damage (basically like the old green powder)

Armor: Decreases knock-back taken



Thunder:

Weapon: Chance to "stun" enemies. They can not move or attack for a second when stunned. Stunning blow does 2x damage

Armor: Shocks opponents upon being hit (Thorns)



Now these are just concepts. Each level of powder increases duration/damage/chance of effect happening.

Tell me what you think!

 

Awesome Idea!

 

these arent really that good to be honest, like for example water
"armor piercing"
This would only really work in pvp, or if the player has defence. seems incredibly broken. and it barely makes sense even
how does water exactly pierce through something like diamonds, or iron, or even gold? doesnt make sense at all.
Healing seems okay, but its way to op. mages already have broken enough healing

Im kind of fine with the Air = walk speed idea, since air is the mobility subclass afterall

And no, we have ideas and plans for what we are going to do. and this is not it

 

Yeah this was just a quick little spitball concept. I was unsure if there were any plans, so I came up with this

 

What if you could combine powders to make other powders?

 

Nice! Another word for flames is immolate.

 

I am not sure where I said flames... but ok

________________________________

I don't think that would work. If you wanted lets say fire and water, well then put fire and water powders on. Most items have at least 3 powder slots...

Cuz to create combo powders would result in 25 (is that right? 25?) more powders. WAY too many for people to deal with

 

I think the stun i pretty op, beacuse you can just and hit and hit.

 

ok true

 

Gr8 m8 r8 8/8 no h8 m8
The eights are everywhere m8, but I don't h8

 

I forgot apprici8

 

Isn't water supposed to be mana-based? I think it would make more sense to grant mana steal on attack, and reduce mana regen debuff in water for defense.

 

K m8 it be gr8 if no h8

 

1. Why would water pierce
2. Stun would be retarded.because of multihit spams

 

I'll think on that

________________________________

1) water can find its way through the smallest cracks in the rock, making them bigger and wider

2) yeah

 

Alright then. How tf can a flame give you health with that logic

 

? Well fire is already linked to defense...

 

But you are going by wynn logic and your own logic?

 

When making theories, no.

When making wynncraft suggestions, yes.
