Anonynja.3172 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Make Energy Meld generate combo fields based on the legend you're channeling. Make the new dodge a blast finisher. Example: Saint Viktor: water field -> area heal Archemorus: ice field -> area frost aura (chills enemies that hit you) Centaur: light field -> area condi cleanse Demon: ethereal field -> area chaos aura (random boons on you, random condi on enemies) Dwarf: fire field -> area might Assassin: smoke field -> area stealth This tweak could add some support functionality and synergize with Catalyst, maybe inspire some new team comps. Right now if you gear the Vindicator for support, it is mostly pure healing, with lackluster boons and offensive buffs for your team compared to other specs. Bonus tweaks: Make Urn of Saint Viktor summon Saint Viktor to give area barrier when dropped. Make Spear of Archemorus cost -5 energy upkeep like the Urn. Charge the Spear with strikes on enemies to buff its damage and shrink its impact radius. Releasing the Spear summons Archemorus to hurl it at your target. Make greatsword 3 a leap finisher. Make greatsword 5 give Chilled or Daze. Give new greatsword animations. Consolidate the major master (tier 2) traits so only one of them deals with endurance, giving area Vigor on dodge. The other two can buff healing or damage for you and your allies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausar.9542 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 greatsword is trash without some CC and some kind of gimmick. Necro GS works because it has it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jthug.9506 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) I don’t want hard cc on gs, prefer to kill stuff. Making the dodge a blast finisher does make some sense, giving us a smoke field will cause a riot though.

lunaeclipse.6843 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) Thats actually a pretty neat idea. Although combo fields aren't utilized all that much nowadays, it'd be a neat addition to the spec. That said, I don't think giving rev in general stealth is a good idea, especially for pvp. Core rev already has some good burst on sword 4-5 and doing that from stealth...i dont think that would be fun to play against. Spear of Archemorus should honestly have a 3-4s Knockdown on it though.

Anonynja.3172 Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 Fair points on the smoke field, though as someone who never touches PvP I would really love more access to stealth in PvE - I was really just trying to avoid generating the all same fields as Catalyst's Jade Sphere. Lightning field -> swiftness would also fit Shiro well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shao.7236 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Thematically some of those AoE don't make sense. Dwarf is has no reasons to have Fire, Mallyx only make use of Dark, Revenant doesn't need Stealth as for Shiro nothing is suitable for it either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiken.1476 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I would imagine the combo fields would fit better thematically if they were: Viktor - Ice - chill Arche - Fire - might Shiro - Dark - life steal Ventari - Light - cleanse Jalis - Lightning - control Mallyx - Ethereal - confusion 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better. Mallyx has a lot that could be suitable for it. Ice, Chaos and Dark. Arguably best to give Shiro Dark for LS while I'd say go for Ice for Mallyx since Torment would pulse with it, even though Confusion sounds great I already came to accept they don't want Mallyx to have any, only Hammer would truly benefit from projectile finishers and we know vast majority dislikes it and there's no other option. If we give Ice to Mallyx, Viktor should inherit Water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jthug.9506 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) I would prefer dark on viktor to get extra life steal bolts with gs5, light would just give healing bolts, which I guess is fine if you are a healer, maybe dark if over 50%hp and light if under 50%hp would be a fair compromise... Although Ice would be extremely powerful too. Even for power dps that amount of chill output would be excellent crowd control.
