Skill suggestions.

[Jakub34]

First and most important thing I would like to say is the eventual addition of a skill hotbar. It's much easier pressing the number keys and gives (every key on the number row except ~ and backspace) players the ability to customize their skills to their liking, than having to move around they keyboard pressing keys.

Basic Skills

Nutritionist: Increase the effectiveness of consumables by 10% per level. Maxes at level 5. For example: If a food provides +10 hp, it will now provide +15 hp with the skill maxed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haste: Increase your movement speed by 5% per level. Haste maxes at level 5, for a total of 25% more movement speed.

Warrior Skills

Blind Hit: Change this skill to be an active skill, and change the name to "Blinding Rage". The skill works like it currently does, except that activating the skill will use 5 hp, and lasts 10 seconds with a cooldown of 20 seconds.

Shield bash: Bash the enemy with your shield for 150% of your total damage. Shield bash can be upgraded 5 times, and increases the damage dealt by 30% per level. Maxes at a total of 300% damage. Cooldown of 5 seconds. (This skill can only be used with warrior)

Deflection: While you have a shield equipped, you have a 1% chance to deflect the enemy's attack for 20% of your total damage and take no damage from the enemy attack. Deflection can be upgraded a total of 5 times, and increases the damage dealt by 20% per level, and increases the deflection chance by 1% per level. Cooldown of 45 seconds. (This skill can only be used with warrior)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Slice N' Dice: Slash your swords repeatedly 5 times that deal 45% of your total damage. Slice N' Dice can be upgraded 3 times, and increases by 15% per level, maxing at 90% damage. (This skill only works if holding 2, 1 handed swords.)

Archer Skills

Volley: Shoots a storm of arrows that deals 35% of your total damage for 3 seconds, every second, within a 5 foot range. Volley can be upgraded 3 times, and increases the damage dealt by 15% per level, and increases the range by 5 feet per level. At level 3, Volley also gains a +1 second duration. Cooldown of 30 seconds

Bouncing Shot: Shoot an arrow that deals 75% of your total damage, bounces to 1 other nearby target within 7 feet. Bouncing Shot can be upgraded 3 times, and increases damage dealt by 25% per level, increases targets by 1 per level, and increase feet by 1. Cooldown of 5 seconds

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arrow Expertise: Increases your chance to not consume an arrow by 5% per level. Arrow Expertise maxes at level 5, for a total of 25% to not consume an arrow.

Scavenger: Increase the amount of arrows you recover from enemies by 25% per level. Scavenger can be upgraded 4 times, for a total of 100% chance to recover arrows. (Can recover up to 7 enemies.) (I think the current arrow recovery system should be removed, and a player is at least guaranteed to 2 arrows per enemy to recover.)

Wizard Skills

Magic Shield: Deleted for now, as I still need to work on making this better. The idea is that you create a shield around your character that deals contact damage to enemies, and blocks a percent of incoming damage.

Healing Aura: Creates a 5 foot aura on the ground that heals all players within the aura by 10% of their max health every second for 3 seconds. Healing Aura can be upgraded be upgraded 3 times, and increases the range by 5 feet per level, and increases health restoration by 5% per level. At level 3, Healing Aura also gains a +2 second duration. Cooldown of 60 seconds


-------------------------------------------------------------------------



Gunman Skills

Pinpoint Accuracy: Increases your chance to do another critical hit by 5% per level. Pinpoint Accuracy maxed at level 5, for a total of 25% to hit an extra critical hit.

To do list:
Make some gunman skills and others
Make some better descriptions
Idk

Blind Hit: Change this skill to be an active skill, and change the name to "Blinding Rage". The skill works like it currently does, except that activating the skill will use 5 hp, and lasts 10 seconds with a cooldown of 20 seconds.

Thanks for the suggestions! I think the deflection and nutritionist skills fit in well and will be fairly easy for me to add. I added them into the huge list of skills I have to implement.

A few of the others you mentioned are pretty similar to ones I have already marked down that I plan to implement. Just stay tuned, I'll be trying to add in as much as I can in each update.

Here are some more skills I came up with.


First I would like to talk about an anti loot system though. People just walking by and looting you seems to start becoming a more common thing, and it will be needed for one of the skills I came up with. Instead of what HH has, a player's loot will be seen just by them for a minute. If they have not picked up their loot after a minute, it will become visible to all other players.


Basic

Haste: Increases the player's movement speed by 5%. Haste can be upgraded 5 times, and increases the player's movement speed by 5% per level.

Coin Magnet. Increase the distance from where a player can pick up a coin by 1 foot. Coin Magnet can be upgrades 5 times, and increases the player's pickup distance by 1 foot per level.

Warrior

Slice N' Dice: Slash your swords repeatedly 5 times that deal 45% of your total damage. Slice N' Dice can be upgraded 3 times, and increases by 15% per level. (This skill only works if holding 2, 1 handed swords.)

Archer

Arrow Expertise: Increase the chance to not consume an arrow by 5%. Arrow Expertise can be upgrade 5 times, and increases the chance to not consume an arrow by 5% per level.

Scavenger: Increase the chance for an enemy to drop an arrow by 25%. Scavenger can be upgraded 4 times, and increases the chance of an enemy to drop an arrow by 25% per level.

This does currently interfere with the current system, so here is my suggestion. All enemies have a guarantee drop of 2 arrows. After that, it all depends upon the chance that the player has for their Scavenger skill. Since 100% is possible, an enemy can drop up to a max of 10.

Wizard

Mana Siphon: When a player does damage to an enemy, they gain 1% of their max MP. Mana Siphon can be upgraded 5 times, and increases the amount of MP leeched by 1% per level.

Revive: Revives a player for 5% of their max health. Revive can be upgraded 3 times, and increases the amount of HP restored by 5% per level. (A player cannot be revived for 15 minutes after being revived.)

Gunman

Pinpoint Accuracy: Increase the chance to hit an extra critical hit by 5%. Pinpoint Accuracy can be upgraded 5 times, and increases the chance to hit an extra critical hit by 5% per level.



Here is a poorly made skill box for the Coin Magnet skill. Eventually, every skill should have some artwork for it, instead of the box with circles. Below it will have the amount of times the skill can be upgraded. The gold marks how many times the skill has been upgraded.

I do love how they're balanced, really good work here jacub.

[Flashlight237]

Shouldn't wizards be able to make use of shields just like warriors as well? Forgot that contingency.

I have an idea for that skill. Still trying to figure out how to work a certain aspect of it.
