Cursed Unlock idea

[Delmuir]

Given the recent nerfs to Cursed (I'm looking at you Rampage and the addition of so much movement speed on gear that Surge is pointless now), I'd like to propose a new locked category. Fear is find and Predator is fine but neither are particularly exciting. There are plenty of options on the generic side, ranging from Cursed Aura to Anti-magic and even hexes but nothing on the talent side. So, here is my idea:

Consumption:


The premise of this category is active skills that generate bonuses at the expense of other bonuses, and include a hate cost. So...

1. Disdain

Active ability that temporarily sacrifices defense for status-immunity. Increases all status resistance by up to 5-35%. Cannot be afflicted by more than "8-2" negative status effects at one time as long as this skill is active.

2. Impenetrable

Active ability that temporarily reduces heal mod and life regen in favor of flat damage reduction. Basically can't heal but much harder to hurt for "x" turns.

3. Stunning Rage

Active ability that temporarily reduces movement speed in favor of combat speed plus adds chance to stun to bump attacks.

4. Brutal Sacrifice

Active ability that reduces all resistances, including status resistances, and armor for 2 turns in exchange for a massive boost to damage on your next attack. Skill is instantly reset if the blow kills the enemy.


This is just a rough idea so feedback welcome, especially if people have way better ideas, ha ha.
