So while everyone is raging and flipping their tables about the new acreon update I would like to bring up a new status topic. Imagine certain weapons like cutters and shtuff could deal something called "soul". Your character would have a chance of receiving a small drainage of health for 2 to 3 seconds which drains about .5% to 1% of your health for every second. Certain weapons could have a strong "soul leave" on hit.

It could be like a new fire type, but instead of being cured with water you'd get cured by touching health. Any health for that measure. Water would increase the damage to 3% a second and if stacked it can deal very strong damage against certain enemies.

Constructs wouldnt take soul damage but are prone to giving soul damage but there could be a degeneration process that paralyzes them for a small while giving a chance of stun or static due to cut wires.

Life steal mechanics? Or just a super weak damage over time effect?

Either way, no thanks.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

Why is life steal so bad? I like it. It sounds cool. Somewhere else someone said "No life steal! This isn't an RPG!" I want some explanation since he wouldn't talk after that.

This is my original comment.

To be honest I never thought about this as a life steal but that would be neat too. c: I was thinking of it as a bleed type but having a weapon that gives half of the health that you deal on soul would be neat as well. Not exactly productive enough to be OP but just enough to be a small notice.

That's not 'merica, that's Tech-sass.

Anyway, lifesteal mechanics and their ilk might be nice for swarm encounters, but the current balance you have would make it UP for most instances. Player-use included.

Again tho I wasnt making this a life steal!

I was thinking it like a more common fire, but with less damage. AND it would give you more chances then a fire brandish . _.

Fire Brandish already sets everything on fire...

What, burning down the forest isn't enough for you? Trying to make a real-life Cradle furnace, huh?

...

WAIT A SEC! I just had an incredible idea! All the Fire Brandishes unleashed their charge on Cradle multiple times simultaneously while rich elitists toss buckets of Radiant Fire Crystals into the mix while a group of dark cultists summon Vog and Bob Marley fans try to sell their souls to Beelzebub but they don't have one so Satan angrily burns everything while also all the Biotechs capture all the fire monsters and toss them into the mix and some idiot professor in quantum physics spouts out some ridiculous logic that allows us to incinerate everything at will while all the Drakons evolve into level 100 and fire at will while a bunch of us take the burning stuff and shove it into a boiler and ride it like a mechanical bull while the same professor from a few whiles ago proves the Pokemon exist so that we take all the fire Pokemon and have them incinerate the rest of the stupid metal hunk in space while we all get some marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate bars (don't forget the fireproof sticks) . Then, Cradle will be melted completely and we can heat out weapons for free! ^.^ And have infinite S'mores!

On a more serious note, I-

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! HAHA! HAA!! I-I can't make a serious post after the above. Sorry.
