spiralmenace Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) previous thread some discussion with one of my clanmates led to the idea that hydroid's skills need way more synergy with one another than they currently have, so here we go -tempest barrage now creates a pool of water at the casting site for x seconds, unaffected by duration -tidal surge now drags enemies/items along its path -undertow now allows use of tidal surge and tentacle swarm deep dark sea -while used in undertow, tidal surge allows hydroid to move to nearby tempest barrage puddles, dragging any trapped enemies with him -while used in undertow, deep dark sea's tentacles appear from the surface rather than at a targeted location, pulling nearby enemies into undertow further lines of discussion led to the fact that rhino is kind of a boring frame as he is now, so we retooled him into a commander-type unit -iron skin now taunts enemies in a fixed (12m?) radius -has a 4s period of invulnerability on cast where all damage taken is converted to IS health (think snowglobe) -is affected by rhino's armor -current augment is now a base aspect of the power -new augment: Iron Phalanx grants (~40%?) of iron skin's health to nearby allies on cast (think ash's smoke shadow) -roar now has a damage debuff (affected by strength mods) to nearby enemies rather than that piss-poor augment -piercing roar changed to Terrifying Roar, panics nearby lesser enemies (ie anything not a heavy unit or robotic) -rhino stomp now hurls enemies into the air, distance based on power strength pointless. never mind this Edited June 9, 2015 by N7Vanquisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordOfScrugging Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 -iron skin now taunts enemies in a fixed (12m?) radius -has a 4s period of invulnerability on cast where all damage taken is converted to IS health (think snowglobe) -is affected by rhino's armor -current augment is now a base aspect of the power -new augment: Iron Phalanx grants (~40%?) of iron skin's health to nearby allies on cast -roar now has a scaling damage debuff to nearby enemies rather than that piss-poor augment -piercing roar changed to Terrifying Roar, panics nearby lesser enemies (ie anything not a heavy unit or robotic) -rhino stomp now hurls enemies into the air, distance based on power strength for iron skin. i think that "-new augment: Iron Phalanx grants (~40%?) of iron skin's health to nearby allies on cast" should function similar to ash's smokescreen augment. where it grants allies their own iron skin. for roar, i think you are piling a bit too much on at base. i feel the debuff and terrify should be combined. terrify lesser enemies (make them leave) while the bigger guys get debuffed. that way you have the fodder units out of the way while the heavies are dealt with for stomp, i think it should just be the regular radius for it's main effect while having a slightly shorter range for the knockback effect. more CC that way. plus the distance in the air doesn't really do anything since there is no fall damage in this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiralmenace Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) for iron skin. i think that "-new augment: Iron Phalanx grants (~40%?) of iron skin's health to nearby allies on cast" should function similar to ash's smokescreen augment. where it grants allies their own iron skin. well yeah, that is the intent but i figured this was implied for stomp, i think it should just be the regular radius for it's main effect while having a slightly shorter range for the knockback effect. more CC that way. plus the distance in the air doesn't really do anything since there is no fall damage in this game eh, fair enough on the fall damage thing. this whole addition is kind of an afterthought, idk if it's even necessary at all Edited June 9, 2015 by N7Vanquisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
