Stat Improvement for L.25 Elites
This was a absolute tedious task without a doubt but finally we're done. I believe these might just be the best stats implemented on elite items L.25 and here is why. The biggest problem with Elite PvP was the lack of balancing, which is why Blasters are the most dominate item used in PvP. So i along with others have worked for a about a month on fixing these stats. So let's begin.
Message to Devs: I believe that the Level 25 Elite requirements should be set at 120-125 attributes. This should be required for EACH piece of elites to stop players from cross-mixing gear to form broken combos. This would fix the Elite Whamm armor abuse easy since it would be impossible to use blasters with it.
*Elite Two-Handed Weapons*
ZOINKS Psycho Blaster Base Req: Level 25, 120 Base Dex
137-182 Damage, 1.1 Speed, 30 Dex, 6% Hit, 8% Crit, 2 M/s, 10 Armor
Comment: I decided to lower the damage on elite blaster so i can add more important stats like more Hit and Crit, with the stats lowered it also allows more room for Elite One-Handed items to compete fairly without having to go up into the 200 damage range. I lowered armor to 10 for obvious reasons, what 2 hand item should have more armor than a one hand with shield?
KABAM Psyber Staff Base Req: Level 25, 120 Base Int
164-202 Damage, 1.0 Speed, 30 Int, 2% Hit, 4% Crit, 4 M/s, 8 Armor
Comment: I set the Staff damage higher than blaster because of how the range is set. Staffs are normally 10 meters but this one is set at 8 which is a drastic difference when in a fight. With more damage the player will have the ability to win via skill damage or if they eventually catch the opponent in range. I added 4 M/s so that the player doesn't burn through mana with a Int based Item, i lowered armor value so that wand won't have to be totally outclassed.
WHOMP Plasma Psychosword Base Req: Level 25, 120 Str
220-240 Damage, 1.4 Speed, 30 Str, 3% Dodge, 1% Hit, 5 H/s, 2 M/s, 15 Armor
Comment: Not much i can say on this change. The damage is lower but i still feel as if it's not going to be as good until the range is increased by 1. The sword hits hard no doubt, but so does every other elite two-hand. The extra 5 H/s will work in conjunction with Wham Armor.
*Elite One-Handed Weapons*
KABAM Laser Wand Base Req: Level 25, 120 Int
130-160 Damage, 1.0 Speed, 30 Int, 4% Dodge, 2% Hit, 8 M/s, 20 Armor
Comment: So what i did with wand was slightly increase the damage by 30. The more damage the wand the better as players who main mage has stated time and time again how much they'd love to go back to wand PvP. I gave KABAM a extra 5 M/s to go along with Zam so there is less gear swapping, in other words encouraging more FFA type games.
ZOINKS Laser Talon Base Req: Level 25, 120 Dex
96-130 Damage, 0.6 Speed, 30 Dex, 2% Dodge, 5% Hit, 5% Crit, 2 M/s, 4 H/s, 25 Armor
Comment: I gave this talon the damage wand was originally given as it makes perfect sense. Talons are always DPS based and i felt anything over 130 would have been OP, like how L.50 Plat talon is. Better Hit% and Crit will differentiate Dex elites from Int and Str, which will theoretically be much superior thanks to stronger weapons, but more on that later once we get to elite armors
WHOMP Psyborg Sword Base Req: Level 25, 120 Str
125-143 Damage, 0.8 Speed, 30 Str, 6% Dodge, 2% Hit, 2% Crit, 15 H/s, 3 M/s, 35 Armor
Comment: I know this is about to get alot of heat, why on earth did i make sword weaker than wand? Simple. This sword is special, it has the ability to preform the weapon combo called Execute. More on weapon combos in this thread link https://www.spacetimestudios.com/sho...te-Combo-Guide. So i had to lower the damage so that bears don't completely destroy the game since the are the only class with a dang near infinite stun lock. Even then don't let this discourage you since this weapon will also have the best dodge percentage, H/s, and armor value.
*Elite Armors*
Comment to the Devs: I lowered the armor value on each Level 25 elite armor so that PvP doesn't feel so tanky even with Enchantments. With HP going up to 500 i saw no reason to give Str a major advantage in tanking because of WHOMP Sword and newly improved WHAM. Level 25 Elite armors will also require the player to have 125 base requirement compared to weapons 120. 125 being just enough so that a L.25 player can still equip elites.
BLAMM Cyber Armor Base Req: Level 25, 125 Dex
30 Dex, 2% Dodge, 5% Hit, 5% Crit, 465 Health, 12 Damage, 5 H/s, 23 Armor
Comment: Oh man did Blamm need these stats. Even though i vastly improved it the first, this is just what was needed. Where to even begin? I increased the HP value by 10 but decreased the armor greatly. Damage was added alongside better crit. Armor was decreased for reasons said above but overall this is possible perfection. Taking away ability to tank in exchange for dealing damage is always best when in the discussion for Dex.
WHAMM Cyber Armor Base Req: Level 25, 125 Str
30 Str, 3% Dodge, 2% Hit, 500 Health, 6 Damage, 15 H/s, 2 M/s, 35 Armor
Comment: When you have 500 Health the question isn't always "Can i tank?" But instead "How am i going to regenerate this much health?" Luckily i got the answer. I went and tested as much as possibleto figure out what's too much HP regen and what's too low. 78 HP regen blew through 1.2k Health at a quick pace and 20 barely touched it. Then i found it. 30-40 HP regen was just enough to get a player to full at the same rate 20 HP regen worked on 500 Health. This to me is the trump card of Str and if this thread gets implemented into the game i sure will enjoy doing warbird and str bear.
ZAMM Cyber Armor Base Req: Level 25, 125 Int
30 Int, 445 Health, 8 Damage, 10 M/s, 24 Armor
Comment: I felt personally that ZAMM was already balanced correctly. So i did minimum improvements from this but i did take inspiration from L.55 Mega Mage Robes. MM had barely any stats but the sets Mana Regen is what stuck out the most. There were times where i would go head up with glyph mages and sometimes win because i could regen far faster than they could. To sum out what i view MM is a weak set of gear that's most deadly when fought with mana shield. Now with this armor added to wand it does the absolute opposite as it creates a monster combo. I have hopes for this one.
And finally done. I still don't see how cinco does this but props to em.
