Minor: Gnaw Improvement

#1 Post by Frumple »

It's a fairly small thing that would make the talent a bit more attractive for a 4th tier talent. Basically, have gnaw synergize with ghoulish leap. Allow gnaw to be used at leap's range, setting both talents on CD and performing a rush-style attack (just with stun, instead of daze). Perhaps a minor damage buff per square traveled, to represent some momentum going.

A melee range gnaw would be as the talent currently is, and not set leap on cooldown.

That's one way to improve it. Another would be to give it a disease component, since natural ghouls have a disease attack.

I've suggested this before, and I still love the idea.

One way to do this would be to simply have it automatically activated when you use ghoulish leap.

I think it would be better the other way around.. make a leap intrinsic to gnaw. With separate cooldowns of course. :)

How about just making it no energy to use?

Thematically it works and it's a very common troupe in gaming, the 'extra' bite attack in addition to whatever else you're doing. Just remember, what's good for the goose is good for the gander and this would give high level NPC ghouls a free stun attack as well ;)
