Is mage objectively the hardest class to balance in arcane odyssey

[MrYes]

I remember someone stating that vetex said you could switch out your 1st magic, but I might be gaslighting myself

[thewhitejawa]

vetex made a game that he thought was cool one day and wanted to make a sequel in an age of roblox game balance
so, despite it being the obvious favorite don’t even try and question that, yeah, it’s probably one of the bigger cans of worms out there

tbh, now that negative synergies are gone,

isn’t that only related to environmental effects? you can still deal less damage if you or other players apply statuses that have negative synergy

[sock]

your own magics can’t have negative synergies with each other anymore i think, it’s not just the environment

[Ultimateblaze75]

You can very much deal less damage from environmental effects. Heat magics do less damage to things that are in water (except lightning)

[TheFightingLady]

isn’t it the other way around? environmental effects utterly fuck over my explosion mage and the wind on my lightning mage, but I dont experience the light-shadow negative synergy on my light mage

1 word
cough cough
savant

[DubiousLittleTyp0]

as of now savant is actually pretty balanced (if not a little underpowered)

Which is why I propose that Agility, Attack Speed, and Size all stop receiving buffs depending on the level of the gear. Instead, they only are improved by the base gear itself, and by enchantments—which also would stop scaling based on level.

I made a post about the problems with making those stats scale here.

An observation on certain stats like Attack Size

I may turn this into a suggestion, but this post is going to be more of a shout into the void because it’s probably too late into the game for any reworks to stats to be made. And Vetex may have a solution to this that I haven’t bothered to look up yet. Also, the numbers in the armors aren’t completely accurate, they’re just there to get my point across.

Hilariously enough, World of Magic used outcome 3, when it could have handled outcome 1 decently well because the entire map was one giant landmass, so it would be hard for super fast or super large blasts to be oppressive since it was so easy to run away.

@Gamehero14

To do this, though, each gear would need to have at least one stat that would scale.

Regeneration could be another stat. It’s an arbitrary numeric value instead of something that translates into physically messing with the collisions of the game, and health gained from the Defense stat no longer increases regeneration, so Defense doesn’t have that stat built-in into it anymore.

You’re gonna love the Wind/Gravity/Equinox atk size mage I have planned (maybe intensity too if atk size isn’t good at increasing the knockback of wind or the pull of Gravity; good luck balancing it all though )

[Gamehero14]

@OffAndSphere

Regeneration could be another stat

Good idea, though seeing as that’s kinda the point of cooking, it probably wouldn’t fly.

wardens with 300+ regen builds (chaos itself cannot kill them)

[MrYes]

Chaos Vs God’s weakest warden build

[DubiousLittleTyp0]

if you know, you know.

Oh no not that guy

[AnUnoriginalUsername]

I always found it hilarious that Light, Wind, Poison and Lightning all have 0,7x Resistance Aura multiple (they’re the 4 seconds lowest), and suddenly there’s glass with 0,15x

[AnUnoriginalUsername]

@Gamehero14

I think all three of these should cap off when they would result in doubled the original stat,

That’s like 450 investement at our current level, wich is litteraly the max you can get, I don’t think you can go any +110% bonus in a substat

[TheTom]

B) Boring, there would be no reason to grind for them

[spammy]

wind magic…

[Gamehero14]

You’d still get effects from having stats, they’d just be less powerful overall.
