wjrasmussen Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 We have AT with choices for fire, cold, earth, electricity. But for nature, we got one type. I'd am suggesting that I would like to see more nature themed powers. I went to Ouroboros all i got was this lousy secret! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greycat Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Yeah... need to be a bit more specific on what you're looking for. We've got (since you're ignoring elemental effects) - Plant control Nature affinity Beast Mastery Arguable: Savage Melee Spines (kinda-sorta) Bio armor, *maybe.* What are you looking for?

Tiger Shadow Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) Even War Mace can seem nature themed if you use the shillelagh or bone club options. Edited April 11 by Tiger Shadow spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If I want to be a mage, I got a lot of choices (see list above). If you want nature, you one flavor per primary and one per secondary. Basically, two flavors of vanilla. I'd like to see variety.

Gonna have to be a little more specific here when fire, lightning, ice, water, storms, and earth are all naturally-occurring phenomena. What are you defining as "nature", and what would that look like? 1 Aspiring game designer and minotaur main. Anyone can tear something down.

A "nature blast?" Wood armor? I don't know if I would call beast mastery nature. What don't want is: Hey, time to roll another nature alt: Plant control and Nature affinity again. Compare this to: Hey I want to roll a mage type (didn't say blaster<--added for the idiots who think I did) we got: fire, electric, ice, stone, dark, force, energy, psych, radiation, sonic, water. <- I'd like to see that kind of variety in a nature aspect. The arguable ones: no. one has variety to me. The other doesn't. But the point might be moot. Perhaps nature isn't wanted. who would want to see a nature MM running around with mushroom mobs.

Greycat Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 ... you're still going to have to be more specific on what you want, then. Since honestly I'm not sure why you're not considering beast a "nature" set when everything in it calls on and buffs things from the natural world - animals. You obviously don't mean "natural" as in the origin, even though that somewhat sounds like what you're describing with the "If I want to roll a mage, I've got fire, ice, etc." (Which... you can also use the nature themed sets for that, as well, and the ones you listed for most anything else - they're fairly generic, so as to let the user come up with their own explanation as to why the player has that ability.) So... let's tackle this differently. There's nothing as far as melee that I think anyone can call "nature based." What would you want in a "nature melee" or "nature armor" set? What would it look like? What *about* that Nature Sentinel or Nature Blaster? Describe what would fit what *you're* looking for. 2 2 Primarily on Everlasting. Squid afficionado.

Rudra Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Beast Mastery is all about commanding nature, so how is that not a nature set? It's like an uber Ranger, Hunter, or Druid class in fantasy lore. Like @Greycat said, what exactly are you looking for as a nature set? Because the carve outs for what you don't consider nature has me thoroughly baffled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want a nature theme, but not animal summoning, elemental, or weather control. Have I got that right? So what do you want? Could you give us an example of what you want to see?

FupDup Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Savage Blast and/or Savage Control could be cool, but the OP already ruled out animals. 😔 Closed Beta Discord Invite: https://discord.gg/DptUBzh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyCDude Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) What about an Autumnal Blast or a Leaf Armor? Some sort of slashing wind set that uses bits and bobs from the leafy path animation? Or, if that's too narrow for a whole power set, maybe seasonal powers? Leaves/Lethal/DoTs for Fall, Flowers/Toxic/Disorient for Spring, Sunshafts/Fire/Blind for Summer, and Icicles/Cold/Slow for Winter? Spans a lot of damage types like Dual Pistols does, but wouldn't spend much time on any one of them. Edited April 16 by ThatGuyCDude The damage type is "Lethal", not "Slashing". Doh!

FupDup Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 In terms of armor, I think plant-based alternate FX for Bio Armor would fit the bill here without needing to try to balance a whole new armor set. And Bio can be kinda ugly sometimes so it could really use some more options. Closed Beta Discord Invite: https://discord.gg/DptUBzh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
