(Temporarily) disable atk gain from energy charge

In my HT run last night energy charge did not overwrite my HT buff. Haven't checked apples tho.

(Why not we make energy charge stack w/ atk pots =DDDDDDDDDDD)

 

This skill was working as intended before, the highest attack will always apply. We need a fix then x-x

 

Plzzzzzz

 

this tbh

 

we invest 40skill points into this skill and it's only 50s uptime with x amount of charging time required. pls make it stack...

 

+1 for Energy Charge stacking with other att buffs

 

It got changed to 60 sec now, thankfully.

 

The bubble does not overwrite HT buff, stopper, apple or any attack pot stronger than bubble! Pop a stopper and check your range to test it for yourself!

 

On a serious note, if this were actually a feature to implement, itd be better to make the attack boost something smaller but still noticeable, like 3-5 att to bring it closer to things like concentrate or enrage. But it still would stack with high att pot, something those skills dont do, and energy charge uptime is already insanely good, and can keep up with or even exceed concentrate uptime.

Itd be added incentive to charge up, and could even increase the value of interactions like flash fisting or snatching more often for charge, but those options are useful for stance alone.

 

Yea reason being buccs have the lowest overall weapon atk than any class so every additional atk is worth a lot thanks to the high str multiplier of knuckles. It was sort of a joke suggestion since I'm sure smart buff will get fixed eventually. The only problem right now is having to cider a lot more often.

Seems to fit the trend of balance changes

 

With the smart buff system in place, Energy Charge will still override ciders, which I guess is how buff systems work (new one replaces old if same or higher buff). Is there any way to make it so that Energy Charge is compatible with ciders (i.e. doesn't override ciders)?

 

Is it possible to just remove the weapon attack from Energy Charge in the meantime so that it doesn't interfere with ciders/coke pills?
I thought coke pills would at least be useable with the patch today, but since energy charge is a bigger buff than coke pills, after energy charge procs and ends, the coke pill effect goes away too. The only attack pots we can use are ones higher than 20 att (gizers, apples, etc.).

Alternatively, is it possible to change energy charge to give 19 weapon attack so at least ciders aren't cancelled from energy charge?

 

Not that it's ideal, but is it possible to put SP into Energy Charge up til the level that it gives you +20att? (BBB site has it at lv39, unsure if it's the same in ML). That way the skill doesn't overwrite cider?

 

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll do that as a temp fix.

 

I see now Energy Charge has been recoded into the Buff system and MUST choose to replace or be ignored when procs.
1 suggestion is to let energy charge co-exist with any atk pots by using meter, the old mechanics. while reprogram the Buff icon gives 0 stats so the buff icon only serve the purpose of viewing charge cooldown and let user to manual cancel the buff.
