The Fifth Spell

A: The spells are fine as they are now.
B: There is no click combination that can support this.
C: You said yourself this idea is only for the Mage, but please, think of the other classes.

Think through the idea before you post it.

 

That leaves a large number of extra spellcast combinations which would need to be filled, lest we get accusations of "OMG YOU DIDNT EVEN FINISH YOU CLASSES DESE AMEDESIGNERS SUCKKKKKKKKKK". And doing so would be a rather lofty task, especially should we create another class in the future.

 

I agree with this, the only way you could have another ability because of what skill points you have, is if they are passively working, which is the same as another guy's skill point perks suggestion, which is already huge. I don't see another suggestion which is very similar to that getting very popular. I agree with your idea that this is too finicky.

STOP CRITICUSING ELEMENTS DUDE. SOME PEOPLE LIKE THE DIVERSITY OF THE ELEMENTS AND IT ADDS LOTS TO THE GAME. JUST BECAUSE U DON'T THINK IT USEFULL OR A GOOD IDEA DOESNT MEAN U HAVE TO SAY IT'S DUMB AND A BAD IDEA. I PERSONALLY LIKE WHAT THE GM'S DID WITH IT AND I GUARUNTEE THAT MORE PEOPLE LIKE THEM THAN NOT SO SERIOUSLY JUST SHUT UP!

New classes? I wasn't aware of that being possible, but I guess now that 1.9 is out, sword blocking is removed. Maybe this is a good opportunity to add in a soldier class?

 

That doesn't mean u need to have do say that people shouldn't need to use or want to use elements. And the devs worked hard on the element system and as selvut said in your thread that if they took away the elements then the whole game would be as it was before if the elements were removed

 

Perhaps incantations instead.
Mage could use something like "Lumine" to produce a field of light for a short time.
Warrior could use "Sempiternas" causing a (limited) random amount of damage.
Archer could use "Fulmine" to hit the next target they strike with a basic attack is stuck with secondary lightning
Assasssin could use "Umbrae" for a speed and damage boost? I'm not really sure with assassin.
Really these are just free floating ideas, feel free to suggest/change words and effects.

Also, what's with the very numerous comments and anger in the comments? I can't have been the only one to suggest more spells, right? You all have been through this before, right?

Or perhaps item based spells, (like scrolls teleport you). A lot of items are probably already being used, with the texture pack. But things that make sense, a torch for light, a slime ball for a slowness field, (for 1.9) a shield for a, well, shield.
Another possibility is to use the 1.9 dual wield in some way. Though I'm not sure how that would work.

 

Some people, including me, dont have a middle click button.

 

Just re-assign the "pick block" button in controls.

 

Ok sorry. I won't judge your opinion

 

To what other mouse button? Combining it with a keyboard button seems as though it would be rather unwieldy.

 

Idk.
Some mouses don't even have right clicks, so THEY have to press a keyboard button anyway.
I mean, I think that's how it works, my friend had that kind of mouse, and he pressed F for right click.
W/E, we don't even need a fifth spell.

 

Having personal experience as a shitty trackpad user, I can agree w/that last statement.
On topic, the concept sounds interesting, but as Selvut said, there really isn't any good way to implement a fifth spell combo at this time.

 

You could reassign "q" or "e" to "i" or "p" (I find this more useful as it prevents me from dropping my sword or opening my inventory in battle.) and reassign it to one of those.

 

Hmm maybe passives?

 

A night vision passive for mage.
A haste passive for assassin
An absorption effect for warrior
Archer i have no idea.

 

Is there a way to detect if a player presses "I" or "P"?
"Q" would be a good one, though, but if you want to access your inventory while casting a spell or something, "E" would be annoying.

 

I don't think the specific button itself is what is detected, but the action the button commences.
