So instead of wind freezing people with Ice + Wind, why not have a new effect called frostbite. it’s like a slower, longer, less damaging version of the burn effect. I’d say it last 10 seconds?
Do I have any reason for wanting this changed, nope, just thought it would be pretty cool. Plus, it would make the Ice + Wind effect different from water. Water + Ice is just worse because water isn’t as good of a PvP magic due to its speed, however wind just loses some damage in exchange for the same synergy. So why not make the synergies unique?
Sure…but wouldn’t Wind’s synergy be amplification?
Cuz like with most magics Wind irl amplifies them. Cold wind literally ends your sanity, blizzards with high winds sucks in general. Fire is strengthened by wind, etc
for more i guess…
wind can cause water to smack your face and it sucks
Idk I just feel like the synergies shouldnt be a toned down water. I like uniqueness, but I really don’t mind it that much. Usually when I make suggestions they’re just something I’d prefer and aren’t something needed.
If you are only talking about the synergy, I would argue water+ice is much better than wind+ice
With water, you can soak then do an ice multiblast or even a double explosion spell to apply frozen and instantly break the ice for bonus damage, and you can use ice then water for a basic bonus damage. It works both ways
With wind, you can only do ice then wind to apply frozen, which also doesnt increase the damage of the wind hit as much as with the other combo, and you cant instantly break the ice as you have to freeze with wind. It’s also counter productive if you land two wind spells quickly as frozen will greatly reduce the damage
Yeah I know that the water + ice synergy is way better, which is why Im saying this. I don’t want wind’s synergy to just be a watered down water + ice, I want it to be something different. It isn’t that the synergy is bad, it’s just that it’s too similar in my opinion.
I don’t see why wind would have this synergy, frostbite or freezing because there’s a warm wind. I don’t see why would have any status effects, wind for me doesn’t seem to be the type of magic to cause any effects, because it’s just magic wind.
…Uh you know you can turn someone into an ice cube already right? Using wind and ice/snow(or other combos not involving wind)? That suggestion is more realistic if anything
