I think powderfist getting a serprate status would help fighting styles feel less like possible magic losts statuses.
Like one that is a catalyst with 2 serprate reactions one being a extra explosion and one being a next explosion buff
This is a suggestion, and what would that status even be if not charred?
Blast powder or something
This game is eventually gonna have like 800 status effects with 80% of them doing the exact same thing
it doesent need a new status, but I think it could potentially be fine with slightly different explosion visuals to set it apart, maybe give it the old explosion VFX.
Unfortunately true
That doesn’t make sense.
to explain why Powderfist has charred; It’s an explosion, it should act as like if explosion magic hit you, that’s it, better for consistency.
It makes fighting styles less like Lost magics but melee
“Less like Lost Magics” Explosion’s basically[1] a base magic.
I don’t understand what you are saying, could you please elaborate on “less like lost magics”, it’s quite vague.
Technically a lesser lost, but that’s just a name for a lost magic turned base from the sheer frequency of users ↩︎
Fighting style mechanics are basically just lost magic stuff and we need more unique statuses that aren’t slow, dot.
Powderfist explosions are basically a lost magics mechanic
Fighting styles are meant to be unique, not everything’s just another form of Magic.
It wouldn’t be interesting if it was just another status effect fest like how Magics currently are.
They are not “basically just lost magic stuff”, they are fighting styles, completely different.
If you made powderfist a lost magic it would basically fit like a cube in the square hole. Fighting styles are not unique fundamentally have ctrl c+v statuses and mechanics that are basically what losts will have
@Scandin Stop engaging with the ragebait twin
gang yeah I’m deadass just confused atp, not mad.
I’m not ragebaiting.
As a leaving note;
You do not explain why Powderfist should get a unique status effect.
You do not explain what the status effect will do.
You’ve reiterated more than once without explaining any of these above.
It’s keeping charred and that’s that.
I did explain to make it feel more unique than future lost magics and certain current ones.
A example is in the main post topic
At ao endgame the only difference between magics and fighting styles and etc will be moves that they will get access to
It isn’t more “unique”, it’s more “inconsistent”.
An explosion attack should apply the explosion status effect, that being Charred.
We have no idea how Magics nor Fighting Styles will work with each other, but it’s obvious that;
Magics will rely on Status Effects.
Fighting styles will rely on uniqueness, as seen by the trello page below, but not necessarily mean every single part of it should be unique, hence why Powderfist has unique functionality, but a pre-existing status effect.
there really is no reason for the effect to be changed solely for “uniqueness”
it is already unique as is with how it functions
