Auras Implemented

[Rendril]

Post here of any bugs you find from the addition of these auras.
They will probably get balanced in the coming days.

Regen bug with the auras should be fixed.

[Clock Master]

Is it intended to work both ways? I mean not just taking stat difference from the opponent but also giving away

[Sharpwind]

I love the new auras !
I can finally take down some enemy drachs
keep up the good work

Bwahahahah




Auras will still get tweaked after evaluation is complete.

[Shadowseeker]

Note: Any of this has so far undergone testing, and will get more in future, also more extensive.

An unholy on lvl1 taking 40%? from 500k ve
A maxed pope taking 120%? from 500k ve

Sorry, the unholy is way too great with this..40% perhaps, but 120% is way over the top. I'm not sure of the formula, but both times it was vs a 0% slider, so no power influence.

I suggest a great tweaking down, because this way elementals will get almost useless..

Compared: 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8 = 0.4096 An elem steals 59% after 4 rounds, targetting multiple, this aura however could target all if you use 6 creats.

I suggest making the value be 10% starting going to 30% or 40%, however no more than 50% at all cost...else elems get nerfed too much and would need a bigger drain limit.


That was vs single creats, will have to do more on multiple later.


Soulweaver/TS is going crazy as well:

I heard reports of SW's doing like 300% steal (not confirmed), which defies the reason to have skillsteal. A maximum of 25%, maybe 30% is my suggestion, else everything spins out of place..plus, no idea how some creats could get 150k attack out of nowhere.

Again, this has to stay below 50%: Otherwise you essentially have the same stats as your enemy in the rit, but added to your own. Even though it appears SWs can steal back and forth, it has to be kept in mind that this would almost force an Sw into many rits with more..defying the stat system in the basics.

[I am Bored]

wait.... are these the ones where the principles can be lowered, or am i thinking of the wrong thing? because even though i have super negative stats, that doesn't mean i don't value my principles.

[lightsage]

Nah, actually this is 2 aura's. One that sucks stats from the opponent and the other is supposed to suck ve. Both just apply to the fight.

Although, in the current system whoever has the most negative stats is the most powerful Try setting a TS (or better, SW) with a pile of damage all creats, the time for IAB supremacy has come!

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Technically Elementals will still be used, but only by those who actually want exp/stats from a battle. The health swapped by a UP does not count as health gain or damage during the battle.

That being said, while I'm using one UP, the enemy should not be starting the match with dead creatures. One critter killing off half the enemies creatures before the fight even starts? And the ones still alive are just barely that way.

[No one]

I'm lost.

We need some logs on what auras really do.

At least during the test.

[No one]

COOL

I think that if your stats get stolen then your creatures will not regenerate after battle.

See trees that were supposed to never die

[Manda]

hey nice skill of the Up but is too strong i had a burst hit but >_>

Edited September 25, 2010 by Manda

[Rendril]

skillvampire has been changed greatly, no more 400%+ draining of stats.
The battle log also shows the effects.

vampiricaura was lowered and will probably be changed as well.


Auras should be much more balanced now.

[Burns]

here's one i don't understand:

Just had a fight against Jose Estrada, him 0% influence, me 100% with 20k VE.
I didn't use any auras, he had a vampiricaura (Priest1) and a skillvampire (ts1).
He got a little bit of my VE, as expected. I killed him almost instantly, as expected. No damage against me, save for what the aura did.

Outcome: Casualties: Enemy:100%, You:-9.9438778%, E lost: 4965vit; A lost: vit;

I didn't steal life or anything, if at all, i should have lost VE to the aura. The fight was rather short, two of my archers dealt with his minions. I definitely didn't heal in any way.

I bet that shouldn't happen XD

[Eon]

Casualties: Defender:-9.08649%, Attacker:-1.33089%

I am the defender and I have a single remain set up that is damaging itself.

Baiano is the attacker and he has 2 tree's on regen, a pope, and 3 lifestealers.

Somehow I won that one

[Fyrd Argentus]

These auras should be capped at 20% just like lifestealers.

I enter battle with 6 creatures on zero slider and they are all dead before the tokens stop scrolling.

Ridiculous.

[Mighty Pirate]

strange battle, I don't understand it.

[attachment=2025:Clipboard01.jpg]

my creatures had enough vitality. However they all appeared with 0 vitality in the battle. See log.

[Yoshi]

Double vamp auras might be clashing?

[apophys]

I love the new UP aura. The pope currently sucks about 1/3 of the opponent's vitality. This is perfect for people like me trying to avoid stat loss from repeated hits by the superpowers. Weak people can now come out of hiding from sanctuaries.


Thank you, Mur.
