Idea Elf - Tweaking [Idea]

Ok, first off: BLLIIITTTZZZZ UR HERE!!!

OK, second off: Good idea tbh. I'm no insane super-reviewer, but in my opinion, its good.

 

I would say marry me but you're a guy .-.

This is almost everything I'd love to see done to elf. It does next to nothing bad for the game to its power--aside from lasting indefinitely with the flag, but youre still rather easy to kill--and gives it the things it needs to actually compete as a class in CTF.

One thing you could edit in though : I'd like to see the water element have its minimum radius extended, since it usually does nothing when you lob an arrow to the ground at anywhere but directly at your feet.

 

I am exactly who I was on the MCPVP forums. Deplicasus. I honestly quite like the lion profile pic though, so I'm keeping it
I also might've changed my skin a bit (from purple "assassin" that's more like a ninja to actual purple assassin, but with darker purple and a hood and a quiver)

 

Any elf buffs would be more than welcome, especially ones as good as these.
Also welcome back blitz <3

 

Oh so that's what you are. Eh, you tend to look like an archer when always wearing chainmail and holding a bow. :3

 

yis depli ish frend c:

 

I agree with @pookeythekid. This is all the things I'd want to see added to Elf.

 

I agree, this was indeed better than 2.

This is also a good idea.

Let me explain: Let's say heavy gets the flag, it's armor gets lowered because the helmet gets removed, but elf, elf doesn't have a helmet anyhow, so this infact makes elf have more armor in percentage when having the flag than lets say heavy. So for me it doesn't seem like elf shouldn't have poison damage.

This isn't a bad idea.

This is basicly infinite health like mage, don't like it sorry.

The resistance isn't that long, no need to shoot it at big groups because you probaly won't shoot this at spawn where big groups are, near the flag people are mostly spread.

I think this is a bug, if I remember right this was working before the "Holiday Update".

 

So btw totally not doing this almost entirely for the sake of bumping this thread, but you should make the water element suggestion request a sphere of affected extinguishing radius. Currently, the water element will only extinguish players and blocks on fire on a single horizontal circular plane (in other words a flat circle) where it lands. What's dumb about this though is that the Resistance effect will be given to players within a 6-block spherical radius of where the arrow lands, but not the water extinguishing. Resistance is nowhere near as useful as extinguishing a teammate before a pyro gets to them, and that kind of teamwork should be rewarded.

 

I am also a fan of all of these ideas. Elf's abilities are not well explained in game, on the brawl wiki, or almost anywhere on the forums (there is no decent explanation for them anywhere except in @pookeythekid's Elf guide, which is insane), so not only should the water element be better explained but so should the pure element, earth element, and wind element.

That said, there's only one tweak I'd add to this list, which is to massively buff the damage from Elf's pure element. @pookeythekid, as you know has made a similar suggestion to mine (he thinks I'm insane), although mine buffs the damage a lot more. So here's the suggestion:

From 0-20 blocks the first shot deals 3 hearts of true damage and weakness I for 1.5 seconds to enemies. The second shot deals 6 hearts of true damage and weakness I for 2 seconds. The third shot deals 12 hearts of true damage.

From 21 blocks or more the first shot deals 7 hearts of true damage and weakness I for 3 seconds to enemies. The second shot deals 14 hearts of true damage.

In other words, short ranged shots with the pure element are a three shot kill. Long ranged shots are a two shot kill, which is completely reasonable since it is much harder to make long ranged shots than short ranged ones. The reason why the damage is very high compared to current Elf is so that it doesn't take so much damn skill to actually deal some good damage with the class without getting killed. Also, I threw in the weakness effect to make Elf a bit more useful in team fights as a support class/glass cannon. I don't think that's unreasonable whatsoever.

 

Much less insane . In fact I think I prefer my own idea at less-than-20 block range (you yourself argued for a two-shot kill previously, my option is a very good compromise between 2 and 3 shot kills), then your idea for long range shots. I didn't think of long range shots when I did my Pure Element tweak.

 

@Admiral_Trump Your new suggestion on the damage values is really nice; I like the idea of a 2 shot kill from 21+ blocks away. I just have one thing: You never specified a time limit in which you had to hit these consecutive shots. I don't think anyone wants an Elf running around, shooting someone twice, then 2 minutes later coming up and 1 hit killing them.

 

However, it'd encourage people to stand around and shoot arrows at their feet because they don't want to waste steaks. It's not OP but it doesn't encourage great gameplay, I'd rather it provide a small amount of regeneration, possibly for a medium duration.
