Troika's long lost path.
ven, 09/30/2011 - 14:57
Let me just say first: Yes, yes I know it's another Suggestion thread from me, but I just thought of something and wondered why it wasn't added so....here we go:
I was thinking about random things and started thinking about Troika's lines and, why don' be have a Fire path for Troika? Because, aren't volcanoes mountains as well?
Well anyways, here's an upgrade path for it:
2* Troika
Description: A low-tech sword that makes up for its lack of high internal power with sheer weight and size. It is capable of delivering crushing blows for those that can handle it.
3* Capulin (*cough* Capulin Volcano *cough*)
Description: A Troika baked and tempered in blistering hot heats to deliver a fiery punch to all that is struck with it.
Fair chance of dealing Moderate Fire.
4* Agrigan (*cough* Agrigan *cough*)
Description: A Capulin after being reforged in nearly unsustainable heats that has also had Volcanic Iron smelted into the blade.
Moderate chance of dealing Moderate Fire.
5* Shishaldin (*cough* Mount Shishaldin *cough*)
Description: It is said in legends that the fiery blaze inside this hot-headed blade makes volcanoes look like glaciers.
Moderate chance of dealing Strong Fire.
So yeah, just throwing it out there...oh and while you're at it, add the rocks back to the Troika lines Charge.

Uh...just making the rocks
Uh...just making the rocks become tiny volcanoes would suffice...no need for fireballs.

I never said anything was
I never said anything was wrong with fireballs, volcanoes work with the style of the Sword.

The rocks work with the line
The rocks work with the line because the rest of the Troika swords would have rocks erupting, it's fine.

Seriously, there is no reason
Seriously, there is no reason to for them to not use the rocks, the swords symbolize mountains which are pretty much giant rocks.

This is not, you are straying
This is not, you are straying from the swords theme, it'll be volcano's and not fireballs.

It's not a failed mechanic,
It's not a failed mechanic, it works quite well, they just have to implement it correctly to balance it.

@maddader
I find the volcanoes perfect +1 You sir have problems if you think a fireball can replace a volcano. The troika series have something to do with mountains or huge objects. The rocks are not OP, and you must be a ignorant person for not seeing the fact Hova just said that they just need to balance it and the fact that you just won't quit even though you are clearly wrong, proves that your single-minded.
Anyways I think strong chance to do a strong fire is a bit OP. Maybe the max should be a moderate fire, but you can have the charge cause the strong fire.

@Beastlikethat
Now that you
@Beastlikethat
Now that you mention it...it would be a bit OP, seeing as how Fire has fairly great and consistent DPS, then make that happen fairly often on a sword that has long reach and a wide swinging range. Yeah, lowering it to Moderate would balance it out more, and having the Strong chance on the Charge would make it more desirable. Seems like it'd definitely get the most DPS of all the Heavy Swords given the property of Fire.
I'll change the Original Post to accommodate this.

@MadadderThere is nothing
@Madadder
There is nothing wrong with it, you are not understanding that there may be other reasons that OOO took out the rocks. How can the rocks be balanced? Really? Anything can be balanced so why would you even say that? You keep saying the same thing over and over again and that thing is just pointless because there is no reason for it to happen, there is nothing wrong with Troika's rocks, you don't know why they were taken out so stop assuming reasons why it was, there does not need to be fireballs, the volcanoes are fine.

i give up... i offer up
i give up... i offer up sometime that could have been discussed and maybe could have made things better but i only get lashed out at for not following old ideals. *sigh*so much for trying
you're right hova i don't know why they removed it but that doesn't mean they will add them again.
i'm out

Only problem is...
Knowing spiral knights, it's going to have a slight chance on strong fire, both on 2nd swing and charge attack. Just like the freeze on the Triglav.
I mean, I like the idea of a fire heavy sword, but I'm just saying.

Another fire based weapon....
There are already 4 fire based swords FOV, Combuster, Furious Flamberg (and if you count) Searing Edge. I think this is an unneeded fire based weapon. There other Elements that go unused when it comes to this game. The game has more fire based weapons then anything else( I am talking in elements status inflictions and 5 star swords now) When it come to swords, Ice has 2, Poison 1, Shadow 2, Shock1, Stun 2, Sleep 0, Fire 3, Curse 1 ,. I just think we should balance out the number of infliction based swords all around. Maybe a Poison or shock trolka path. or even a long blade series like archeron. Right now sleep is kinda useless but hey maybe they could make it better. What ever it is It should be something other then fire. To me fire just seems over used. I mean there are like 4 volcanic based armors...

The thing is, this isn't a
The thing is, this isn't a thread asking for them to make a Fire inflicting Troika, I'm asking them make this because Troika's are based on mountains, and Glaciers, Volcanoes and normal Mountains are all mountains, however Volcanoes are the only ones not represented in this line. It's more about the mountain then the status.
its ok but the rocks were a bit OP in my opinion but now they need a buff
oooo how about when you use the charge and the sword slams down like an eruption of fireballs scatter around a small area? it would coincide with the theme of this line
