Long argument short:
Long balance loss for stupid commands is crazy. Stupidity is one thing, and even dodge has more limits to it.
1) It should not stack, yes it doesnt stack unless you focus mind alot. But against guardians when they come out? You will be expecting this. Make it 1s loss with a timer to give a maximum frequency it can hit. This is basically a dodge that also works on curing
2) It does not need a malus, it effects the enemy but the fact it can stop them from attacking makes it defensive as well.
3) Badluck counts as a dodge for most purposes, this skill should not exist. Envoys made a purpose of removing dodging for all non acros for a reason

1) The only way you are going to balance lock yourself off of focus minding is if you do it more than 100 times in less than 30 seconds. And Guardians will be using Greywhispers which can be handled without focus minding.
2) It needs a malus or else the skill does nothing but gives you a cute message when you mess up and nothing more, same with the defensive side of the ball
3) If badluck counts as a dodge, then badluck needs to not drop after 60 seconds without a third person message. Dodge is a constant affect, badluck is not. Same with insanity which was a knee-jerk report, you can't build up both insanity and wounds you have to sacrifice one. So if I keep up greywhispers which takes three power, I have to stop perodically and blow three power and a four second equilbrium time giving you ample time to catch up. Same with Badluck minus the three power.
Gregori2010-05-05 04:06:29
Further to Aliod's post, badluck actually puts affliction classes back on the map, because it forces you to rethink your curing and use of focus cures and god forbid you may have to use a power cure now and then in order to get out of a potential soft lock. (which Akui managed to do to me twice, before I fixed my greywhispers curing)

It puts you off balance. That's a malus. If you want MORE of one, say that. You're acting like that doesn't matter, because OMG THEY FOCUSED SUCCESSFULLY.

Another Swing...and a Miss. Obviously seven pages is not enough for some people to get it to sink in.
Can we just get this thread closed before it starts turning really hostile?

Exactly, the off balance is the malus, and Malarious said it should not have a malus, if he was talking about a not having mana malus on a failed focus mind attempt then slap me and I was wrong, but it seems like he was talking about only having a one second balance loss. which, as it has already been stated, would give people a free get out of jail free card once they ate the 3-4 second limit, meaning they could just focus mind during that time frame until they actually got the desired action, which is what I am assuming the limit would be because any higher than that and it would be just as it is now, a balance lock that isn't even a real issue if you don't spam the crap out of focus mind, which happens to be one of the reasons why classes that bank on afflictions have such a hard time doing anything outside of the already laid down bread and butter combos, so God forbid something comes along that might actually help them stop focus mind, with a 33% chance, and we might see some originality in combat.
But then again, pipe dream.

It's not anything new that badluck is capable of sprees of successful triggerings. The most you can do is grin and bear it, since the Illuminati lost sensible envoy material.
EDIT: My suggestion has always been to apply a power cost to Badluck (this happened, IIRC), up Snafu's cost (happened, IIRC), but also to apply a sort of 'immunity' to badluck similar to stun immunity.. then make badluck last longer and still remain incurable. Have badluck's immunity base itself on your CHA (higher = more immunity.. rationalized more on my DnD understanding of CHA than the meaning of CHA in Lusternia) or just on a flat rate of a few seconds. I would prefer the second to make it fair.

Badluck should just not be the detriment it is. Why balance loss? You can remove that and just let it still cause focusing to fail. Or, remove firing on most actions and make it only fire on focusing for balance loss. It does not need to be aurawap + dodge + unstoppable scabies all at once. Just figure out where it should be and change it to fit that and I think people would be happy. Adding a power cost did not change it in any way but make it more expensive, it did not make it any less powerful.

I don't disagree at all, but I don't know how receptive the Admin would be to that - it has been more than a few months and I am sure envoys have brought it up.
