Because if you can't convince others for a magic blast set the first hundred times, try again....

 

Edit: Weren't you informed requested by a GM not to pitch another eldritch set?

Non-epic-archetype primary/secondary sets generally only have 9 powers; additional ones are usually sub-powers of something else (eg: Swap Ammo).

This one seems fine, thematically, if only because visuals are not listed. Other than the tier 1 power stating "moderate magic damage", the set as a whole could be drawing on eldritch energy through tech like Doom 2016, or mutation. The bigger question is: what does this bring to the table besides being Dark Blast 2.0?

As I stated on pretty much every other thread (s)he/they makes about this, I'm fine with magic animations for a new set. It's the "eldritch", "arcane", "sorcery", "magic", et al for primary/secondary set and power names I take issue with.

 

(Edit: Because magic is an origin. The Sorcery pool is an origin pool.)

A lot of these say "eldritch" or "chaotic" energy, so... maybe it rolls a random damage type (and amount) each time?  It might be a fun way to bypass some of the resists that the various factions have, but in the long run it'd basically be applying damage against the average of each groups' resistances. (For all we know, there's no relation between the netherworld and the various eldritch energies - these eldritch powers could deal any damage type).

I'm generally inclined to agree with you on any of these threads calling for a magic staff or spellcasting blasts to be a set instead of power customization. This eldritch blast, though, (assuming its visuals aren't spellcasting circles by default or some other shenanigans) seems no worse than Dark Blast already is. DB mentions several times in its power descriptions that you are connecting to the Netherworld and using its power for your attacks. For instance, Tenebrous Tentacles: "You can create a cone shaped rift to the Netherworld that allows its native creatures to slip their oily tentacles into our reality. These creatures will snare all foes within range, Immobilizing them while the tentacles drain their life and reduce their chance to hit."

 

 

Still not as neutral-sounding as Chaotic Blast or other names that were suggesting in response to Cedd's other threads/posts but neutral enough compared to Magic or Sorcery, I think, given DB has existed since launch.

 

[Luminara]

12 attacks, 7 AoEs, no Aim, a damage type that doesn't exist in the game, a power with a gimmick that all ranged attacks already use (homing), Confuse as a "debuff", and... pets in a blast set.

 

Might need a bit of refinement.

[CrusaderDroid]

Uh...okay. I guess I can give this a shot.

I mean, it's a T1 power. I guess having a damage debuff on that goes a long way to making it worth considering.

 

We don't have "magic damage". I'm just going to pretend it's Negative Energy damage instead.

Oh no nevermind apparently we get T2 powers that have AoEs. Just strike through my prior text above.

 

I can't tell if this is a PBAoE attack or a targeted AoE attack like Fireball. If it's the former, you are ejecting multiple enemies out of range of your melee attacks, which is an interesting decision. If it's the latter, this is abjectly terrible, as you want to keep hitting the same group with AoEs, but the random knockback chance means you break up the group on hit, which forces you to pay the knockback tax for enhancements by slotting KB2KD.

Dark Barrage:

• Effect: Deals light damage per hit but can stack quickly against single targets.

I don't understand what "stack quickly" means in this context. By default, a power only really activates once. This might visually look like ten blasts in a row, but it's still only one power doing its predetermined damage. What about it is supposed to stack quickly?

 

I'm pretty okay with the idea of something that keeps buffing itself against the same target though. The core idea could be pretty cool when applied to something else.

Chaos Wave:

• Description: Send out a wave of chaotic energy that distorts reality.
• Effect: Deals damage in a cone in front of you and applies random debuffs (e.g., slow, weaken, confusion).

The problem with applying all of these random debuffs as a T4 power that can be accessed fairly early is that you don't have the power budget to make them have values worth a damn. The only thing the debuff roulette is good for is slotting a bunch of random sets since it'll qualify for slows, confuses, and whatever else it can apply.

 

This also feels bad to use no matter what. Sometimes you'll high roll, but most of the time you're going to get some fairly useless effects, e.g. slowing melee-range enemies or weakening minions with nothing useful to debuff.

Wait, where's Aim? Pretty sure by T5 we're supposed to have Aim on a blast set.

 

This is fairly unremarkable. It does damage, it reduces healing. You take it, lament its good cooldown and terrible ability to hold procs, and use it on the big bosses that regenerate a bunch of health.

Abyssal Blast:

Actually an interesting idea - applying crowd control in an area around a target instead of the target itself. Feels like there could be a lot of fun in that setup - maybe we copy Winter Wyvern's ultimate from DotA 2 and trap a guy while confusing and taunting all his buddies into pounding on him.

 

On here, though? This is an unusual amount of mezzing coming from a blast set. I think it's okay on its own, but we've got knockbacks, the debuff roulette, and now the fear. Fairly certain there are other avenues of debuffs or added effects that can be explored here.

Spectral Surge:

Oh dear.

 

At least the imagery is cool. The amount of mezzing in the set is out of hand now though - we're starting to rival control sets, but with the damage to back it up. Theoretically, anyways - we ARE missing Aim for some reason.

Netherstorm:

No real comments here. I'd have swapped this with Chaos Wave personally so Chaos Wave's debuff roulette has room for bigger values.

Eldritch Nova:

Classic PBAoE Blaster nuke. I think there's room for something more interesting than just knockback, and room for a more interesting name than Eldritch Nova, but the fundamental principle matches up with all the other blast sets.

 

Anyways, the set has a large amount of AoE effects and way too much mezzing. If you kept it as is, it would have to lose out on damage to compensate for the mezzes, which would make Blaster users feel bad using it.

 

...wait, hold up.

Why is there a tenth power?!

 

@KingCeddd03 Serious talk: when you post threads like these and go out of the ordinary, you need to be up front about what you're doing, why you're doing it, and what you're expecting to hear from people. I have no idea why you made 12 powers instead of 9 for a set, you haven't posted any clarification yet, and there's nothing to suggest anyone should do anything other than take it at face value.

 

I'm not really impressed by "randomness" as a hook for anything, least of all in a game like City of Heroes with fairly determined effects on powers. At least at...T10?...this has room for big debuff values. The same problems with Chaos Wave's lack of reliability plague this one too.

It's a big single target hit otherwise. Not much to comment on.

This really bugs me because it's breaking the general conventions of the archetypes just to make the set feel special. Since Blast sets can be used by Blasters, Corruptors, and Defenders, we are giving all three of them access to pets through this power, when they don't - and shouldn't - have pets through their powersets.

 

I also wish you were more specific with "multiple debuffs". There are so many different statistics you can debuff in this game, even down to esoteric stuff like endurance costs, jump height, and toxic defense. Multiple debuffs doesn't communicate nearly enough information to make a judgment about whether this is good.

 

In summary:

• A couple of interesting premises that would work great on a control set
• Not actually bringing too much that's new to the scene
• No central theme - effects are too random, sometimes literally
• Way too much mez for a ranged damage set
• Why are there twelve powers.
• Needs far more detail from you - what you get out of these threads is about equal to what you put into them, and this doesn't look like you put in a lot

If it was <insert not specifically obviously intended to be magic> Blast and tapped into another realm like Dark Blast does, I wouldn't have issue with it. Qlipphotic Blast set that draws power from the Qlipphoth or however it is spelled for instance. However, what we have is Eldritch Blast and the author shows his/her/their intent with the very 1st power. "Does magic damage". There is no such thing as magic damage in the game. Because magic is an origin and that origin can tap and use any damage type available just like the other origins.

 

Edit: Well, me not taking exception to it if it wasn't yet another blatant attempt to have a magic primary/secondary isn't true. I'd still take exception to it having 12 powers and doing so much like the author wants to make a single set that lets him/her/them be a Controller-Blaster with a manipulation or support set backing it up.

Okay.

 

I'm operating under the assumption that animations aren't a concern.

 

Tier 1: Scrape - Attacks the target with a summoned, ethereal claw. Deals light lethal and negative energy damage, and reduces the target's defense. Realistically you only take this while leveling.

Tier 2: Sever -  An incredibly quick animation attack that causes a slash in reality directly on the target with a small gesture. Deals lethal and negative energy damage, and inflicts a 20% resistance debuff on the target, which wears off by 5% every 2 seconds.

Tier 3: Flood -  Open a portal from your hand and flood a 180 degree cone (so, a semicircle I guess) with deadly air from whatever realm these eldritch nightmares call home. Deals negative energy damage and slows enemies hit. Rather long recharge compared to similar T3 options.

Tier 4: Grasp -  A tendril bursts from the ground underneath a target and grabs on to it, crushing it and slowing it. Deals a significant amount of smashing and negative energy damage over time. If the target was already slowed, Grasp deals increased damage and immobilizes them instead.

Tier 5: Mania -  Increases your to-hit and damage for 20 seconds. The bonus is lower than Aim at first, but increases every 5 seconds to end at 140% of Aim's normal bonus for the last 5 seconds.

Tier 6: Offering - Jagged spikes burst from portals and strike at a single target, dealing high lethal and negative energy damage and reducing the target's defense. Costs no endurance, but damages you on use.

Tier 7: Ritual - A very non-typical sniper attack that carves out the area around the target for transmission into the same realm as these eldritch creatures, dealing significant negative energy damage to the target and enemies near the target. In combat, its quick snipe only targets one enemy.

Tier 8: Torment - Haunting voices of madness infect a single target, dealing negative energy damage over time and reducing their resistance steadily over time, starting at 5% and maxing at 15%. Each time the damage ticks, it attempts to spread to two other enemies nearby.

Tier 9: Dismissal - Unseal the ground beneath you and cause a mass of tendrils to lash at all enemies in a ludicrously large area around you, dealing heavy negative energy damage and pulling them all to your location while knocking them down.

 

This is the best I can do, where it's less "fancy magic" and more "you're actually tag teaming with horrific eldritch beasts beyond our comprehension - or you ARE one this whole time". It's got some varied effects, and tries to bring some innovations to the table, e.g. Sever's strong-but-fading resist debuff, Mania's ramping power, Offering's health cost instead of endurance cost, and Torment's infections.

This is completely untrue. Unless you can alter the game's code you need to convince the Homecoming developers to add it to the game. Now most of us in this thread aren't developers, but if you can't convince us how are you going to convince the devs to add it to the game?

 

That's literally the purpose of the Suggestions & Feedback forum. It gives the devs a place to look at a suggestion and then see a back and forth debate by the players (and possibly by one or more of the devs on their alt accounts) on the merits of this suggestion. Simply posting a suggestion and then attacking anyone who dislikes or disagrees with it is far less likely, in my not so humble opinion, to convince anyone to seriously consider your suggestion.

 

Let me know if you're interested in some tips on how to post a suggestion that the devs might actually take seriously.
