Bug : blast damage calculation #9

Closed Mythalar closed 2 years ago

Mythalar commented 2 years ago

Some bug, I think :

As a psychokineticist with 22 WIS (so +6) and level 17 (9th level blasts) :

No burn so no overflow bonus. Edit : actually the overflow bonus does not apply to telekinetic or force damage, I don't know if it's a bug too.

As a side note, I know that, in TT, Force blast does less damage but is quite irresitible so that's mighty fine, but in WotR with Ascended element every energy resistance can be bypassed so I personnaly would put it on par with Blue Flame to have a direct alternative.

Good catches, Currently working on the disintegrating infusion, but once that's done I'll investigate and push out fixes for the damage

And yeah, I wanna take a look into balance tuning for Force Blast, since resistance can be essentially ignored after level 5 or whenever ascended element comes online

Mythalar commented 2 years ago

Oh yeah pew pew blast is the best !

That makes me think : is it possible to use disintegrate FX for Force blast, it would be nice (even if no alternative for cloud...)

SpencerMycek commented 2 years ago

I'll let you in on a little secret I saw the Disintegrate projectile was an option, and immediately switched all the force blast variants to use it So that's coming when I get disintegrate done

SpencerMycek commented 2 years ago

And yes, it does look amazing

Mythalar commented 2 years ago

Oh yeah pew pew blast is the best 'o'

I reviewed all ranged touch that I can think of and the only ones that, I think, would be good for telekinetic blast are Battering blast (punchy) or Elemental Assessor (lighter)

Got Elemental Overflow hooked up correctly, added the missing 1 damage per die for the physical blasts (spindle was a nightmare, actually crashed WoTR twice), and halved the bonus for Force blasts, but I am still considering boosting to a normal Composite
