V14 Weave Changes

[Tim]

Here's what you guys have waiting on. I've pretty much redone the weaves from scratch.

In general, Speed & Wound go up half as fast now. Slowed down % damage and % defense slightly too. The other big thing I did was make that powers more specialized. Fire and Air are more offense, while Earth and Water are more defense. Spirit is generally health gain/poison/taint. This way it's easier to choose earlier on what type of channeler you want to be without having to plan from level 1 what weave you want to use at level 100.

Here's the table. Stats listed are the stats added per each level in that power. Stats will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Dang. Guess I have to play a channeler again this age.

Looks good to me. Is this final enough that I can add it to the wiki, or should I keep procrastinating?

[Tim]

I don't really plan on changing it and if I do it will probably be minor changes. Update away.

My plan is to make the switch to the new weaves tomorrow sometime. Changes to the stats discussed in the other thread at about the same time. Thoughts on if people think I should do a reset of the test site around then, or will people just need to adjust? I'm leaning towards no reset...

[Birgitte Silverbow]

I would also prefer no reset. To be honest, I'm a little bit disappointed that %damage is also getting nerfed, it doesn't feel like it's "too generous". Corlan dashiva who is going for high damage/percent damage only has 12% damage boost while the noble long sword birgitte is using has 11% damage, so very comparable. I guess that maybe it could start to build up more ridiculously later on in the game so it looks good to me.

[Tim]

Right. I was torn about that one too. I was thinking late in the game when people can get their weave skill at 10-15 that a +20-30% damage/defense is too high, but now that a Lords of Kings combo gets you right around there...

*sigh* Ok. You talked me out of it. Hold up on the wiki changes KR.

[Tim]

Ok. Changed the table. Should be ready to go again.

[King Richard]

Noo! All my hard work must be fixed...wait, I'm still procrastinating.
