I sort of agree, but under the current system I'm pretty sure people would still be autocasting if everything were groups and/or rare+ mobs.

To be clear, I only offered my system as a very general outline. I think donkatsu's Luminosity system is a much more concrete implementation of the basic idea I was going for, so I would suggest that my option be removed from the poll, or that any votes for my system be counted toward donkatsu's tal...

I want to start by making sure I understand your system correctly. The current light nukes (Searing Light, Firebeam, etc.) and Twilight Surge generate 1 solar point and increase negative energy when they hit. Defensive light spells like Barrier and Providence generate 1 solar point if an enemy is ne...

Any changes won't be in isolation. That can easily be dealt with. (also Barrier is a Sun spell) Fair enough, but the same applies to some of your responses in the other thread .-. And yes, Barrier/Bathe in Light are Sun spells, but I found myself either precasting them before engaging, or using the...

I just ended a NM/RL run as anorithil (died at 30 T.T) so I want to offer my thoughts based on my experience in the early- to mid-game. I don't think a combo point system is the way to go for this class. While I was playing, it felt absolutely crucial that I be able to disable enemies on turn 1. The...

Half of the Anorithil talents can be used with no energy. Housepet, the more powerful abilties (as in all your main damage abilities from the darkness trees) require you to have energy. Various abilities can be used at no or negative cost, but the abilities you want to use require energy. This is g...

It's actually a negative feedback loop. Darkness spells generate luminosity (negative energy cost => more positive energy => more luminosity), and are powered by having low luminosity, so they get weaker if you only use negative spells. The Sun tree consumes luminosity now, and is powered by having...

To be clear, my proposal wasn't a "change the resource system and the class is fixed" type of deal. I'd like to see a fairly comprehensive overhaul of anorithil, and a non-derpy resource system needs to be the foundation for that. Some general comments on the thread so far: I like a lot of...

The positive/negative energy system is...wonky. There's very little use for positive energy other than a small amount for circles and the magic number 15 for Twilight, so negative energy is the only real resource; there wouldn't be much difference if you removed positive energy entirely and just had...

Strange things happen to my UI whenever I get an achievement for the first time...some text gets drop-shadowed and dialogs get doubled, and cooldown indicators turn opaque white. I don't have it in the screenshot, but healthbars seem to turn white as well. It's fine after I quit and restart the game...

My summoner's having the same issue :\
