[Focused Feedback: Costumes]

I'm noticing that the loincloths for the Sybil costumes (both versions) always flaps upwards and sticks up awkwardly when you move forward whilst Hovering.  Is there any way to get the loincloth part to stick downwards and closer to the body when you Hover forwards?

[A different thread for Mind Control]

Make Confuse a Mag 4 Confusion.  Also, eliminate any XP penalties associated with confused creatures damaging or killing other enemies.

 

And Reduce Mass Confuse's recharge down to 60 seconds like Seeds of Confusion.  Oh and increase its base accuracy to at least 1.00x.

 

That would solve a lot of issues with Mind Control.

[Storm Blast is terrible]

So this Blast set lacks a nuke.

Which sets it apart from all the other Blast sets.

Something that people expecting to play a Blaster-type of set should be cognizant of for their builds.

 

Overall, the set could definitely use some tweaks and buffs.  Reducing the endurance costs and activation times of Storm Cell and making the lightning procs do way more damage would be a good start.  Cat5 and Chain Lightning are so bad that they're practically skippable, except for the fact that they can be good mules for set bonuses.  Travel time of Cloud Burst is almost as long as Psi Blast's... should be instantaneous like Hailstorm. 

[Workshopping /Nature Affinity - slotting some powers]

Doctored Wounds set provides more Recharge than Preventive Medicine.

 

So I usually slot Regrowth with Preventive Medicine and Wild Bastion with Doctored Wounds.

[Storm Chasing: how are you building so far?]

I've said this in the Beta feedback thread - if they need to keep the lockouts for some reason, they really need to drastically increase the Focused/Split/Spread Lightning damage of Storm Cell.

 

Focused Lightning strikes need to deal the same damage as the Snipe power.  The Split lightning damage needs to deal as much as the T8 power at minimum.  And the Spread lightning damage need to deal at least as much as the T2 power to all targets.

[Storm Chasing: how are you building so far?]

I decided against taking Jet Stream due to the repel, and since Storm Cell doesn't always follow you closely to ensure enemies are under its effects every time before you cast Jet Stream.

 

Is Jet Stream worth it?  My tray is busy/filled enough as it is... so I'm not how vital the cone AoE would be.

[Focused Feedback: Storm Blast]

Did a bit more testing today and I absolutely agree with Puma.

 

The clearing speed and DPS output of this blast set feels lacking.  I think given the lockout seconds between Storm Cell's focused/spread/split Lightning, the damage on those lightning strikes need to be upped significantly - like the Focused lightning should do as much as the Snipe power's damage, the Split do as much as the Tier 8 attack's damage, and the Spread Lightning strike should do at least as much as the T2 attack's damage at minimum. 

 

[Future costume parts suggestion]

The outfit the shamanesses from the Banished Pantheon wear is the same thing the Cimeroran sybils wear, just missing the large belt. (Edit: So it is a single-piece outfit model, consisting of the top and bottom. The belt piece is a separate piece, and the BP females simply don't have that belt. The sybil dress was alongside a surprising number of other NPC costume pieces in Icon prior to HC coming back. So that is where I am getting this information from. That doesn't mean it wouldn't be possible for the bottom to be separated from the top, or the entire dress being made available. That would be a dev choice. Just letting you know the sybils and shamanesses are wearing the same dress.)

The full Sybil outfit would be nice to have as well.

 

What about Sister Solaris's outfit and/or loincloth pieces?

 

Either way, more costume options with loincloths is what I'm hoping for.

[Future costume parts suggestion]

Not sure if this has been suggested or already considered previously, but one costume piece I'd like to see implemented are Loincloths - like the ones that the Sybils oracles and Sister Solaris wear, or the one Romulus Augustus has, as well as the Storm and Death Shamaness of Banished Pantheon for the more witch-like loincloths.

 

Would like to see these options for both male, female, and monstrous body types.

[Focused Feedback: Storm Blast]

Agree with the recommendations for a Singularity-like pull of enemies towards the center!

Also, I did notice the Endurance cost of Storm Cell to be quite prohibitively high especially at lower levels.  Would recommend halving the End cost at the very least.

 

I've been testing out the latest patch on Pylons, and have also noticed getting wildly different results each time.

The Lightning Aura Spread/Focused of Storm Cell seems to be set at base accuracy of 1.10x.  Is that correct?  The previous poster above was claiming the base accuracy of the Lightning procs to be 1.68x... so why do I see only 1.10x?

 

C5's lightning procs are also at 1.10x, as the previous poster mentioned above.
