So, I'm not sure if inscription egos should go here, but I have a few ideas for them. As I hear it, there are so many white inscriptions (which are near useless, from what I can tell) in the stores simply because those are supposed to have blue and purple egos, but there aren't any. In fact, there are no egos at all except single stats to scale off of. So, with that in mind, I propose: [*]Quick - shorter cooldown time of inscription, not sure if this should be raw number or %, or maybe different for different runes/infusions, probably blue [*]Hastened - shorter cooldown & saturation time of inscription, likewise to above for amount, probably purple [*]Powerful - increase power, not sure what level [*]Lasting - duration effects last 1-3 turns longer, if no duration effects, effects on user repeat next turn, i.e. a heat beam rune would banish one physical status effect this turn, and then another one next turn
[*]2-stat scaling, probably purple: Of the... Titan - Str & Con Fencer - Str & Dex Magewarrior - Str & Mag Knight - Str & Wil Stalker - Str & Cun Hunter - Dex & Mag Thief - Dex & Cun Bloodmage - Con & Mag Magelord - Mag & Wil Sorcerer - Mag & Cun Mentalist - Wil & Cun
I'd also suggest, if there are any prefix egos made, that we switch things around so that stat-scaling egos go in front and the other egos go at the end (i.e. it would be a Knight's Healing Infusion of Haste). The reason for this is simply order in shops. They seem to be ordered alphabetically, and I remember when stat egos were in front it organized things first by stat, and then by type of inscription. Well, egos like Quick or Powerful, to my mind, will be the last piece to be considered when buying inscriptions. By that I mean that, if I'm a berserker looking for some healing, I'll look first and foremost at healing infusions, then for ones with Str or maybe Con as their stats, or maybe I'll look for a regeneration infusion, again with Str or Con for stats. An infusion being quick or powerful will only matter if it first meets those infusion type and stat criteria. I'd go for a healing infusion that scaled with Str and was quick over one that scaled with str and wasn't, but I wouldn't go for one that scaled with mag and was quick over one that scaled with str and wasn't, or a quick poison infusion that scaled with str over any kind of healing infusion.
Either that, or we need stores to order runes by type the same way stores order weapons and armor by type, and then alphabetically by ego, but I'd still suggest that stat-egos go first.
