Arrow Hoard Nerf + Grenade Buff
Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2021 12:56 pm
While Rage was nerfed to a power boost similar to what Masnam wanted (7.35x, I think) and Storm Cloud is nerfed in terms of how many enemies it can hit, there is one nerf the update missed: a nerf for Arrow Hoard. Even with the change from vertical spread to horizontal spread, it is still used as an "archer's version of Power Smash." I think the best way to nerf Arrow Hoard is to turn it into a dynamically-charged skill like what happened with Arrow Rain in HH. After all, what archer fires several arrows at once without notching them one at a time? I'm thinking 0.3 seconds, or 18 frames, per extra arrow after 1 arrow.
Conversely, the MP value of Arrow Hoard should be detached from the MP per Skill Level formula (Base MP Cost*Skill Level) in order to work right, instead making players use up 2 MP per extra arrow (2 MP for firing off 2 arrows, 4 MP for firing off 3 arrows, all the way up to 10 MP for firing off 6 arrows). That way archers can be more satisfied with the Arrow Hoard nerf.
As for Grenades, like I said before, let people aim grenades freely like they do with Magic Breath. Simple as that.
But yeah, there's that.
