Make Combo Finisher Support Universal + more
|
TLDR: Make Combo Finisher Support Gem universal to help open up different playstyle and adds basic combo synergy or add different variations that isnt locked just behind melee.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- More in dpeth / my version of " combo finisher playstyle " --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Something Ive been thinking about is what makes a lot of POE 2 skills interesting to me? There's a few variations - Its the empowered versions of say Lightning Spear with Lightning bolts via Frenzy Charges - Something like the new Breach Shield where its multi functional - either toss it or use slam ability or Spiraling Conspiracy where its "RF" but also a Command skill - Interactive spirit/ability gems upon reaching x activate like rage / fury / culling / glory like Hammer of The Gods or Spear of Solaris etc What do these all have in common? they're combo abilities in nature and synergize with each other without breaking immersion. I think we need a lot more of these that use current format like upon x rage x glory x fury x charges but we also need different variations currently we have combo finisher support gem which acts like rogue playstyle from wow but it is locked behind melee only. something like an interactive cast on crit gem thats not passive ( not saying get rid of cast on crit ) crit for x amount of times but the next time you press "cast on crit" it unleashes the socketed skill doing x -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My take on adding a "combo finisher playstyle " ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since we are in the Runes of Aldur timeline ill base it off that. lets start with a new slot item : Runic Capacitor Runic Capacitor lets you craft a Runic Charge or new chase item that has a Runic Charge that fits your build / skill your looking to empower. For this example - we will use when you Freeze an enemy. ( Thermal Lock ) When you freeze an enemy you will be granted x Runic Charge of Thermal Lock upto x amount of Charges next step would be add a new currency Aldurian Flux The Aldurian Flux lets you create a Runic Version of any skill. for this example we will use Eye of Winter - Place an Aldurian Flux on Eye of Winter to strip it of its corruption and its purified version is called Glacial Processor Glacial Processor can only be activated upon reaching x amount of Runic Charges. for this example Glacial Processor no longer requires it to travel through any element but is granted all of its damage as if it had. Turns any ability into pure combo only payoff skill opens up different ways of playing a certain skill can add any number of different "pure version" alternative skills example for eye of winter - every projectile counts as its own hit ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- either way, I think we just need more synergistic combo / payoff skills for all playstyles caster dont have much besides weaving elements which dont synergize archetype/fantasy wise which automatically makes combo gameplay feel bad simply just opening up combo finisher to all builds would be a great start.
