Well I was going through my folders and happened to stumble upon this skillset I made when I was thinking a lot about Hallifax. Unlike some skillsets people suggest this one actually fits the usual sequence for demesne skills. I just felt like posting it to get some feedback on the skill ideas, it has a few unique abilitites in it. Also, this was my first attempt at creating a new skill and I'm sure you're tired about hearing about Hallifax and Gaudigach.

That's the first of these I've seen that sounds entirely reasonable (except for minor balance issues, like every other new skill). I really like it.
The only thing that really jumps out at me is that demesne anorexia could be problematic, especially with embedded runes or motes.

Genos2006-06-06 01:25:50
Hmm, maybe instead of Anorexia it can extend Sip balance and Herb balance and have a cure?
Terenas2006-06-06 01:31:46
I like it, just too many concepts are too similar to Aquamancy. Mist is essentially a more powerful form of Ghost . The Raise Staff ability seems too good. Looks like a permanent aura of Justice.
Genos2006-06-06 01:35:54
Yeah, but just for those who use weapons. I guess it could just randomly go off instead of every attack. I guess the damage it did would have to be balanced so it wouldn't be extremely powerful.
Also, Mist is one of the abilities I didn't really like but I couldn't think of a good elemental form for them since Aqua's have Liquidform and Geo's have Fleshstone.
EDIT: Also I don't really like having Blizzard give Chills but I don't think they are any other afflictions that would fit.

For Mistform, I'd just vastly increase the dodge rate, give you a chance to dodge non-physical attacks, and give you -50% damage or something.

See, that's why Whirlwinds keeps them up in the air regardless if they Levitation or can fly. Also, when you use Twisters it will drag them back to the earth which will have to be changed so if they don't have Levitation it will only cause damage without concussion. I'm going to change Anorexia to a new affliction so you can't lock that fast as well.
Maybe Swiftwinds won't have as much of an effect on someone with a level 3 regain so it wouldn't be to bad, keep in mind though it's only luck that your attacks will be done during the Swiftwind as it's only in effect about a second every 8 seconds.
Acrune2006-06-06 03:45:17
So why would you cast whirlwinds? It weakens the fling like effect, and takes away your advantage of flight.
Genos2006-06-06 03:57:17
Whirlwinds will keep people into the air so they can be hit by Stormclouds, and maybe electric damage will be boosted if your enemy is in the skies. It also allows the use of Twisters to drag people back to the ground to do damage and break a limb if they don't have levitation. I'm not sure what to do about Fling though, I think it would be too hard to code something so that while Fling was used enemies will still fall back to the ground.
EDIT: Added into Stormclouds effect that electrical damage is increased while your enemy is in the sky.

I figure it'd be like Druids wanting to fight in trees. Aeromancers don't so much toss you into the sky hoping you break your head as much as they simply want you in the air to fight there. I'd definitely require them to be flying to hit them with Bolt.
And who says they'll get Psionics? Nihilists get Hexes instead of Healing. Maybe Aero/Pyromancers will get something instead of Psionics.
