Which version of this skill is better?
« on: July 07, 2012, 04:10:27 am »
So I and Aero made pretty much 2 versions of this same skill: Shock Circle. We got into a fight over which one is better and neither of us is willing to admit defeat. Now I need members of the forum to settle this for us. Vote people, vote!

Test map attached.

Well, here's my feedback for these two versions:

Doomlord's version


The lightning balls travel fast, and that makes the spell more "lightning elemental". Homing and bouncing is just great, but it can be quite overpowered when you gather a lot of enemies around and cast the spell.

Aero's version


The balls grow bigger and bigger, which makes me feel it stronger and all. Upon casting, the balls can damage enemies who come in contact with them before they start to move to the target and during their pathways.

Overall, I'm impressed by the way these ball homing and bouncing, but I think the cast range should be fixed. So I voted for Doomlord. However, I prefer the combination of both versions.

After reading Jerome's post I decided to post the combined version of the two spells. It is here for viewing only since many will wonder what a combined version actually looks like. I myself support this version but I need to win this poll to get this combined version imported.

My version will in the future too "bounce" if the target dies.

Okay, aren't the orbs a little too big and a little too far of the user in the combined version?

Well, besides the above no complains about the versions.

I've liked the combined version the most(even with that problem), but even without the combined version, doom's version is better(yet it lacks the good things that aero's version have, so...).

My version will in the future too "bounce" if the target dies.
My version will also have the whole orbs getting bigger in the future.

You said so in the chat on Saturday. Ask Yggdrasill, he was there when you said that line.

Couldn't you just vote for the one that you dislike the less  :P? That makes sense, because even if you don't like both, one of them should be better(in your case less worse...i thing), am i wrong?

I think the outcome of this poll is decided already. Aero, it is time for you to admit defeat and follow our original 'pact'.
