I believe that regardless of behind the scenes math, 1 point of damage should require 1 point of focus. Here's another way of looking at it. If I do 30 points of damage to your character, that act should require 30 points of focus by my character to perform.

There are number of reasons I think this would be "better".

1. Death and Healing magic are currently unbalanced. Using the above methodology...

I don't think that combat should impact shoe or boot deterioration.

Instead, I think shoes and boots should be handled differently. I think they should degrade a small amount as you travel in them. This means that you will never have to worry about fighting in them, but the more you move about the more they will degrade and require repairs.

This seems like a more immerssive way to make footwear meaningful than it currently is.]]> 17 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 17:47:26 +0000 https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/stone-fence-vs-stone-wall.34133/ https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/stone-fence-vs-stone-wall.34133/ invalid@example.com (Barugon) Barugon Sat, 25 Jul 2015 09:28:19 +0000 https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/feedback-for-tree-sales-on-the-addonstore.33914/ https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/feedback-for-tree-sales-on-the-addonstore.33914/ invalid@example.com (Edward Newgate) Edward Newgate Iam watining for it for a long long time.

I can still see a need for a delay timer to zone again, but no wined up to go to your main house... I know some players will have multiple houses, but the 1st trip should have no delays, please... Maybe we should have to set a default house as our main house...

I just think it's pointless, I'm a crafter, I'm in SPO, why do I need to wait just to port home? There should be a delay if I want to go to another place, but I'm usually just overweight and dropping off...

Let's have an alternate method to creating stacks and combos: make them part of the deck build.

Adds to the deck building strategy
When building your deck, you now have another layer of complexity to contend with. You now have the option to create combos and stacks so they are part of the deck and are dealt as a single glyph. So, if you make a combo from Fire Arrow and Death Ray, you...

So basically we do free attacks to which free dodges and blocks are added. Targeting works with a crosshair-system. Every time combat ensues or we draw the weapon, a small crosshair (or any other symbol) appears. If it points to an enemy, we...
