Interesting idea!
I really like the blaze idea and the different elements. It would be fun seeing something like that! I personally think the cooldowns on the ultimates are a little too short arent they? But if I understand the build right it is more the mana that limits the character rather than the cd, right?
And I think maybe it would be wise to have some other talents mixed in - it seems to me, as if one would pick JUST lighting/cold/fire talents all the way through. What do you think?
yea the mana is the main limiting factor for both basic and heroic abilities. my goal with the heroics is to make them more situational compared to the basic abilities. (mana costs and cd can change a bit for balance of course)
I tried to break the lighting/cold/fire build by making some talents have different interactions. like on tier 3, where the cold talent improves lighting ability etc...
and also by capping the tier 7 mastery talents at 10, so getting the maximum 12 points wont farther improve it.
I agree that having more talents mixed in is the right direction (currently there are only two of them, on 1st and 7th tier), i just dont have enough fitting ideas for more talents.
i currently have an idea for a talent that grant you ability power or some other buff for limited duration upon getting to 100 mana or upon getting to low mana.
if you do you are welcomed to share your ideas!
I like these new ideas. Maybe you can add some talents regarding the combat trait warmth? For example: Mana recharge starts 2 seconds after out of combat. Or make it activatable every 40 seconds where using abilities won't stop mana regen for x seconds.
Another idea: Maybe there could be some drastic talent choices that enhance your other abilities, but you can't use one element. Or it adds another sorceress ability from D2 to your kit for some sacrifice. Examples: Enchant (Basic Attacks deal Splash Fire Damage, can be used on allies), Glacial Spike (maybe some root?), thunder storm. This talents won't provide mastery points, but they bring some strong different options. What do you think?
Kind regards
