| Summary: | 0000240: Unnerf spell enhancers | ||||
| Description: |
In DCSS 0.1, spell enhancers (rings of fire/ice, staves, robe of archmagi) have been nerfed into uselessness. I think it's fair to say that the main use of rings of fire/ice is the resistance, and the main use of staves is the resistance or the attack effect. The nerf consisted of two parts: a)spell staves have no wizardry effect anymore (apart from the staff of wizardry, of course) b) the stepdown function was not applied to enhancers but now is I think that both ideas are reasonable and we should keep a) -- it's not good to mix spell success boost and spell power boosts. However, applying the stepdown is what makes the powerbost (spellpower*1.5) essentially useless. There are several options: 1) Apply less stepdown to enhancers (this would be a mix of pre-0.1 (with no stepdown applied at all) and current )full stepdown applied) states). 2) Remove stepdown for enhancers but reduce enhancer multiplier from 1.5 to 1.3 (say). There was also the idea to make enhancers not work multilpicatively, but I don't like that very much. Also, it wouldn't affect single enhancers, obviously. Please note that enhancers (and casting in general) was way overpowered in 4.0.0b26 -- the nerfs appeared for a good reason. |
