Boss Casting Rework

 

Not a bug, it's as intended

 

gg another cleave nerf

 

I'm not joking but would it be possible to have cancels gone forever and reduce the timers of these bosses? something like 1~1.5 hr HT timer without cancels

 

^ THAT WOULD BE AMAZING..

 

1. put more RNG to the cancels procs.
2. increase cancels skill cooldown.
3. a combination of 1. and 2.

Best:

 

I was big anti of 1hr HT timer meme but I should admit, I can't opposite this awesome idea lol +1

 

I'd imagine simply adding a longer cooldown to the skills would increase uptime of each head not being in the matching cancel and (more importantly) decrease the chances of triple head cancels. Cancels arent the epitome of game design (even turning cancel into half damage would at least feel more engaging), but ht was probably the boss that it felt the most interactive for with multiple other things to hit. If there were a lower chance of triple head cancel syncing up for an entire run or even some logic to practically prevent it, itd probably go a long way.

 

I 100% agree about the topic of interaction with HT and probably should make a separate thread about it.

With HT right now, the chance of all active head cancels is pretty high, and with the chance of arms in mass sed range, there's more standing around and less interaction than there was before.

It's the same reason why I can't stand running scar is because half the time, you're standing around doing nothing while waiting for weapon cancel to come off. At least with zak, there's chances of low amount of weapon cancels that will make the run go by quickly

 

As much as I support the idea of no cancels, I cannot get behind it in HT when you’re able to cleave multiple heads and other limbs as a cleaver. If cancels are removed cleave will get buffed to the heavens as cleaving 2 heads is more dmg than a ranged attacker hitting one head.

Edit: there needs to be a balance between too many cancels (like now) and no cancels at all.

 

Change weapon & magic cancel to damage reflect

 

range already dominates in every other boss. can't cleaves have just one non-useless niche?

 

Replace all weapon cancels/magic cancels with a low-damage weapon/magic damage reflect that's only a few seconds long :eyes:

 

It would be adequately random again if each cancel only had a 60-70% chance of going through and otherwise poofing. Most other skills have a chance of failure, like dispel and applying debuffs.

 

and no dispels to !
