Love Puppy Battle Sprite
Abilities:
Vanquishing Surge:
Give your enemies a feel of happiness turning them to your side for a few seconds. Cooldown of 16. Single-Target. Shoots in the direction you point.
Healing shot:
Heals you 3 bars of health. More as you level it up. It has a cooldown of 65 seconds. Only for self.
Fiery Aura:
Releases an Aura that gives you defense for 2 seconds. It has a cooldown of 40 seconds.
Please... I need this pet for some love.
Healing shot is OP. It always will be. No matter if you put it at half an hour or not. If you're not in a party (Many people nowadays go solo), you can afk for your sprite to recharge. One way to balance it is to make it one use for level only, but other than that, it is OP.
For Vanquishing Surge, how long will this effect last? If it lasts until the monster dies, you can easily exploit it by making it a trojan, because monster AI is too stupid to kill a trojan. And what will happen with healers? Will they mend you/your party, or will it just be useless?
For Fiery Aura, I think that the Drakon Fire shield is a direct upgrade. It gives you defense for a longer time, and injures monsters nearby.
As for the abilities, I believe it's like this:
1st one is a quick damage offensive bullet
2nd one is a resistance or support "aura"
3rd one is the heavy hitter.
So for your suggestion, there is no real offensive whatsoever, and the order is messed up, unless you don't intend this order to be put in. Sorry if this came out hateful, but everyone has a right to criticize, yes?
EDIT: Thunder beat me to it.
Vanquishing Surge:
Vanquishing is a strong word to use for a happy skill? Also, could this effect Trojans or Bosses?
Healing Shot:
You can walk around Vanaduke and start healing all your health. Isn't that a bit too over-powered? Seems more of a free Health Capsule than anything...
Fiery Aura:
Protective Aura? Is it only for you? Is it an AoE? How big is it? Isn't it like Seraphinx?
What?
Healing Shot takes long. I doubt someone could just run around for hours on end. Pssh.
1st one is a quick damage offensive bullet
2nd one is a resistance or support "aura"
3rd one is the heavy hitter?
I can do whatever? You don't know. Maybe it won't be in that order after the other battle sprites.
Fiery Aura is only for yourself. It also gives more defense than any other battle sprite that will ever live. IT'S A CONTRUCTION! IT'S METAL.
It's not offensive. It is love and helpful.
I don't care if healing takes a day (well, maybe in that case...), as long as it has a cooldown it's infinite healing and you can sit and wait. someone, or better, many people will do that.
fiery aura is still seraph's third skill. the one of the shield that has an absurd health and is short lasting. it's a copy. it does the same thing.
The thing with healing is that it either heals too much for its cool down, or it doesn't heal enough and thus is completely worthless.
So to answer your last statement first, the Seraphynx can also be considered a loving creature. After all, it is designed after one of the cutest enemies in the game. Even so, it still has a damage dealing attack.
Healing shot can still be exploited. Some people (actually very few) have the time and patience to wait out cooltimes. So it's still OP.
So I do realize that my listing has a flaw in it, so ignore that.
And for Fiery Aura, what I'm saying is that Drakon's second ability is a direct upgrade. I KNOW that the Fiery aura is for you only. And mentioned in some other thread, knights are not for tanking, they are for dodging. This isn't some regular MMORPG. You don't have regen. Even with 80% defense boost, no one in the right mind would start eating Vana's fire souls in exchange for getting some sword shots in. If you argue that it could get you out of sticky situations, why not choose the cloak? Enemies will stop attacking you entirely, and as long as you don't sit in front of a monster and beg to be shot, you are invincible for that ~12 seconds you have cloak on.
And you didnt answer my question about Vanquishing Surge.
no ways to heal fully just waiting, thank you.
no ways to make nemies kill themselver while you take coffee, thank you.
third skill is equal to seraphinx, think of something else.
