Seperating Defense from HP

[archrono]

Honestly, I think defense should be resistance, not hp because being able to regenerate armor doesn’t make much sense.

[Level]

Defense related items/enchants overshadow literally everything else which is a problem with balancing.

@Level

I actually wanted it to be a damage divider like actual defense instead of extra vitality but that would be hard to scale with 1000 levels.

[Pox]

Yes. Buff spears. Make them greater

[The_Legend_7.0]

defense shud just reduce the damage you take.

@The_Legend_7.0

defense shud just reduce the damage you take

You know I always wondered why doesn’t the defense stat in certain games reduce the damage you take form players and npcs rather than increasing your health

[The_Legend_7.0]

yeah

[matyrayo]

ahh i see.

thanks now i understand but.
wouldnt it to much work to separate those things?

why not just buff everything else?

like. defense still be relevant. but other items/enchants too

buff hydra

[LichdaDerp]

So make defense basically a second HP bar that regens slower? Am I missing something? Or is it more akin to traditional RPGs where it reduces the amount of damage taken?

[Level]

First thing

@matyrayo

It would take 10 lines of code at most, it’s just making a certain % of the hp bar blue with a divider and slightly changing the regen formula.

@matyrayo

Why buff 5 stats to make 1 relevant when you can nerf 1 to make them all relevant

(Assuming knockback is getting changed)

@Level

If you disagree you’re a metamancer running full hard wizard, I don’t want to hear people running that much defense talking

But
but

I like defense.

I approve of this as a Glass Cannon.

because as you said:

buffing 5 stats would be modifying existing code instead of writing new one.

im not an expert at programming but i think bugs will be easier to fix in a modified code you already know than in 10 lines of new code.

i mean. bug fixes are a big part of programing…

False, to buff every other stat Vetex would need to change the log formula for every one of them to better accommodate what they are and even then certain things would never be used.

This would be much easier to implement but only solves a short term problem

Edit:

I just realized you’re probably a full Hard Wizard or Hard Sunken metamancer using Water, please refer to this
