Recently I've encountered some rune that are not OP but way to over efficient. For now just the first 2 that I meet the most: -Jakei Pilgrim cheap build at 62 nora with an undercosted gift ability:the ability is 6 nora (according to qpoxdb) for Regen 2( 5 nora) and Purified (another 5 nora). -Rip Demon seriously in a FF UD you can run him at 60 nora with 17 dmg and counter attack melee and dmg shield 3! any other over efficient rune for you? and what are your thoughts about the 2 mentioned above?
Rip demon isn't that bad. UD in general struggles with survivability. Rip demon is no different. Just nail him from range and his strength is entirely porpotional to the enemy board so by the time he is useful he should be a non issue. Jakei anything is usually pretty overly efficient though
How are they too over efficient if they are not overpowered. Seriously though over efficiency is everywhere in pox its not something that i think needs discussion or to be adressed.
Some runes could definitely do with some balancing. Though the community is rather split on it, I believe people are just in denial when they say there is absolutely no rune that needs reworked. I know that isn't what youre saying but I definitely think it is something that shouldn't go undressed. The fact that IS has super Viking Jesus running around is a bit much
Shouldnt focus on balancing single rune at all, should focus on abilities/classing things to make life somewhat easier for both players and to manage balance runes. i play IS, so guess earth elemental, ghoulhunter, conscripted warrior, elemental warstaff are over efficient champs
I dont mind Rip Demon too much. Pilgrim has Dissipate on a "melee" champ which is why he is so cheap. He could likely use a small tap but nothing big.
pilgrim shouldnt have range 1-3 and 6 abilities but compaired to Sonic Elemental he is ok or SE's sonicburst is crazy, range 1-3, distract, knockback, non-physical damage through ignore defense.
id agree with thoughts on rip demon,, dont wanna say op,, for fear of torches and pitchforks, but its safe to say for 60 nora,,, your getting more then your noras worth.
Gift: X abilities are costed so that they do give a discount vs if the champion simply had those abilities. For example, Gift: Magical Training is 10 nora for a 10 nora ability (Magic Blast) and a 4 nora ability (Reckless Blast 2). Gift: Smuggle is 8 nora for Stealth (8 nora) and Shadow Shift (4 nora). Regen did get a cost increase since that particular Gift was made as well.
I understand that (that gift smuggle...where is it??I want one in SP) what about the rip demon? Do you think the only issue is Ally UD?
Possibly. In-faction Ally will go away so we'll see what happens there. But I honestly haven't seen Rip Demons pwning faces.
