Ecaflip - New way to get earth spells New random earth spell system

Hi

I just propose a new way to get the earth spells.
Instead of being able to obtain any spell anytime, for each slot we would have a 50% chance to get one of two spells available.
Given these changes, i organized the spells, so that all options are balanced and i changed some features too.
I believe that if the Ecaflips stay like this, would decrease the exhausting re-rolls. And finally we would be happy with the spells that receive.

Note: All the Spells are level 100. I didnt write how the spells works in critical hits, but observing the current version, I think you can imagine the critical in the same proportion.

Observations:
¹ As you can see, now since the first spell of earth you will need luck. In this case, when you create your Ecaflip you already know your first spell (Head or Tails or Shi-Fu-Meow).
² The damage of the Re-rolls isnt reduced.
³ The 'Ring' AoE looks like a circle but with a free cell in the middle (the ecaflip's place). By this way, the ecaflip is no longer affected by damage or heal from roulette.


Well, these are some of my ideas for the improvement of Ecaflips. I hope you read, compare with the current versions and comment if possible. =)

I know that the biggest enemy against the creation of a new system is the sense of 'loss of freedom' to choose the spells. A new system surely would bring limitations.

If you do not like the idea, I would be grateful if you would at least comment about the spells.

Have a good day.

This is nice, i've had the same idea too thank you for pointing this out
Hope ankama changes it

That would make our life so much easier, just to think when the wipe comes i'll try to get the same spells over and over again....
Nice idea btw ;D

i really hope that devs comes and read your thread XD

Personnaly i like to have both "Jackpot" and "All in" spells. Jackpot is somewhat aoe with no LoS while All In is stronger with more ap. With help of xelor can be even more powerfull.

In my opinion even first earth spell shoudl be random so i can spend some time choosing spells i want to have. But its just me.

It's nice to know some people here can come up with really good ideas ^^ though personally I don't mind the randomness of the Earth spells. Dunno, maybe it's cool for me it's just different. >w

Thank you guys for the answers
I received answers in the French forum too, in a translated version of this topic. I hope some Developer read. =)
