So, magics with high destruction will finally useful on AO?

Game Discussion

Just saying guessing.

22

Yup, explosion is the magic with the highest destruction

23

hopefully magic stats apply to magic cannonballs so that slow magics arent screwed and are stuck with using beams

24

Yeah agreed.

25

Deus vult!

26

Same with Lightning

27

maybe my old maxed out explosion slot will finally have a use

28

you sleeping on explosion

also

it should work underwater

29

Wait so are you saying that the destruction stat will determine the amount of damage you do to a ship.

30

i remember vetex confirming that destruction affinity would take part in ship damage, it makes sense too

31

True, imagine a cloud of gas causing physical damage to a ship. (Looking at you explosion.)

32

hey it’s a cloud of reactive gasses

33

The thing is:
Do we even have gunpowder on war seas?

34

I mean, we have cannons, so its a possibility

35

back in the old AA days
i used myself as shark bait to farm sharks as a beginner
i don’t think sharks would be a problem at all

36

Well it is still a cloud of gas.

37

My main concern with AO is how they handle magics that can’t go through water. I wonder if that’ll be a problem, I never played AA so no clue if that was a feature or it is a feature in AA, but it just wasnt a problem.

38

You Placed explosions are a thing, soo

39

It was a feature in AA, but it wasn’t a problem because of sharks and the AoE on moves were insane, also legendary weps like aethereal ornament helped

40

I personally don’t like placed explosions, besides I was asking if this would make magic that can’t go through water less viable for chasing and hunting infamy in water.
