Movement infusions

#1 Post by Frumple »

Okay. I played like, one character in the arena with these things, and I have to ask... when's the nerf coming? To quote myself and another, and save time to introduce the issue, here's a snippit of IRC conversation:
21:12 Frumptastic But movement infusion is...
21:12 Frumptastic Gods alive. It's insane.
21:12 Hetdegon it's sweet
21:12 Frumptastic It's freaking _insane_.
21:12 Hetdegon is it...?
21:12 Hetdegon i just use the movement
21:12 Frumptastic It's like... oh hi-yo. I'M GOING TO COOLDOWN ALL MY TALENTS NOW!! AHAHAHAHAHEHEHEHEHE
21:12 gruevy YAY NEW BETA
21:12 Frumptastic MURDERMURDERMURDER
21:13 Hetdegon huh i'll remove the one-turn boost from the perk then
21:13 Hetdegon although it shouldn't affect cooldown for talents
21:13 Frumptastic Seriously. Plus it's like the next best thing to a perfectly aimed CPD. So you cooldown all you stuff AND you get to get out of danger.
21:14 Frumptastic Eh? Nah, that's just how movement infusions work right now. They're lightning speed, just... infusion-y.
21:14 Hetdegon oh well, better
21:14 Frumptastic And lightning speed is just... heh. Hi-yo. I'm going to finish regenning now. And cooling down all my talents. AHAHAHAHAHAA
21:14 Frumptastic MURDERMURDERMURDER
21:14 Frumptastic It's a little bit much.
21:14 Frumptastic I look forward to the nerf =p
21:15 Frumptastic Crystal focus... mindslayers... cursed. PAH. They ain't got nothin' on dis shiizzzz.
21:15 Hetdegon i like the speed, can be safely nerfed to not cool down talents without making the actual use suffer
21:15 Frumptastic Figure out how, heh =p
21:16 Hetdegon can be done
21:16 Frumptastic Probably good idea to submit patch to DG, then. He'd probably appreciate taking the code effort off his hands =p
21:16 Frumptastic Because _damn_.
21:16 Frumptastic Cool down, regen... waiting out negative effects...
21:17 Hetdegon yeah remind me tomorrow or so
21:17 Frumptastic It's like CPD+ mixed in with a regen condenser, a pseudo-wild infusion, and freaking talent snap.
21:17 Frumptastic All in one item. These things are ridiiiccuuulooouuussss.
Try it, discuss it. Hopefully we'll have a few theoretical solutions to these things within the next week or so, and coded fixes by the time the next full beta rolls around.

In the mean time, abuse these things while you can.

Just a quick thought by me - cooldowns and regeneration effects should probably only be altered by GLOBAL speed, not movement, spell, shooting, attacking, ect speeds.

Nice idea, FM - would sort out this problem very easily.

Technically movement infusions increase global speed but they could do movement speed instead in which case FM's idea would be a good one.
