Elf - A New Focus

wait what? did I read this correctly?

Lit af

 

Could tweak Pure Element along these lines:

Right Click with pure element to change to Support Mode (right clicking again will change back to the original pure element a.k.a Offense Mode). While in Support Mode, shooting enemies will deal no damage, instead Pure Element becomes a variant of Water Element. When it hits a block/player, all teammates within a 5x5 radius are cleared of debuffs (i.e Chemist Poison, Flash Bomb Blindness/Slowness/Nausea). An optional additional effect could be the ability to neutralize enemy buffs (although it might seem overpowered). Teammates affected by the pure shot will also become immune to negative effects for 5 seconds. It resembles "Purity" along with being viable for Supportive Elf.

 

I myself have 1 idea:

- Make arrows be regained by medics, 1. Because it doesn't make sense not to have them, and it effects the mobility (wind element) and ability to attack people (earth and pure element), 2. It would mean that its actually useful to launch a planned offensive with a medic and an elf.

 

Support Elf!!!

 

Great buffs, but honestly speaking I don't want to get killed by an elf anymore best keep it underpowered :>

 

Before Elf was even out basically everyone had another imagination of what Elf should be. The mods highly discussed it's abilities and it took so long to find a compromise. Some wanted Elf to be mobile and aggressive, some wanted it more stationary like archer, some wanted to add supportive aspects etc.
That's the reason why the current Elf is a mess out of everything thrown together but without a real 'talent'.

For my taste Elfs kit is completly overloaded, yet inefficent as hell, unless you're a top notch sniper.
I mean does someone even notice that the water element gives resistance I for like 7 secs, but ONLY if the shot was fully charged? :^)

Personally I've always wanted Elf to be an aggressive combat archer with decent mobility, meaning it would alternate between bow and sword a lot, because CTF didn't have that. Archer feels stationary and ranged only, and pyro was.. well... there was no real close combat happening unless you had to fight against a medic.
That was pre pyro rework... now pyro kind of fills that spot.

I'd prefer giving Elf a new playstyle that isn't in the game already + making it a bit more accessable to ppl by reducing all the item slots in it's kit instead of balancing (forcing) it into an specific role it has to play in.

 

sorry

 

I would add sum moar use of the wotah element:
Left-Click =
+ Elf players extinguish them selves
- Cost 2 arrows ( or 1 idk)

and PLEAZ buff ELF ;-;

i'm useless without elf

I would suggest that elf can have moar arrows rather than 16 :v

 

Elf's earth and maybe water elements should do damage to engie turrets

 

Elf buff = Elf triumph. Pls make this happen #Allthosewhocanmakeithappen.

 

speed 1 for 2-3sec after hitting a shot
(if not just permanent)

Also... Elf fly hax:
Make first 2 fly poofs only take 1 arrow each.

 

i love elf as a class its really fun to use, id just say fix the shield and slightly buff wind element and ill be good, although i guess another thing you could add is maybe a water element buff since that's rarely used

 

I honestly would like to see the windspell change into a huge knockback ability, something close to lightning it would be a good roaming defense, care for trolls tho.
Probably would be overpowered but idk something close to this
-Slayway

 

Given elf's weakness, I'm in favor of buffing elf in all 3 aspects. Perhaps more arrows, less delay time on arrow regen, a slight nerf to wind spell's flying ability, something more potent than a wooden sword (I always thought an iron sword looked more fitting for an elf anyways, when's the last time you saw Legolas or Link with a glorified stick?) and, like all of the suggestions.

Right now, if you gave elf infinite health, it would still take forever to kill someone with it.
