Aloyzo's Arsenal Official SUBMISSION Discussion Thread

The design is pure gold. What a dream, to have rad goo bloom.

 

I can't say I like readily giving a flash of agony-like card to priests, uncontrollable as it may be. That changes dynamics too much, and doesn't match up to their usual card restrictions.

Besides, if you're going that route, Impetuous Heal would be a lot more fun an option than Healing Beacon


And nah, PDK, I meant actual item icons that could be retextured easily.

 

@Vlamona: Well, bug/inconsistency, whether or not with Healing Beacon. Talented+Bless is not cantrip, and I think the same with Consecrate Ground, but I don't recall -- whereas Beacon is.

@WexMajor: I just imagine sparks flying, myself. I don't recall messing with power circuits and anything exploding -- unless you count sparks as technically an explosion of course. So. Didn't think the flavor needed explaining, but here ya go then. Between the "short-circuiting" part throwing sparks, and the "-plex" suffix bringing its own connotations, the item hopefully brings to mind a swords-and-shields priest plopping down devices that are half-working and the character half-understands how they work.

@Sir Veza: Makes sense. The whole point of -farming- is to just efficiently blow through it, eh? Usually no need to spend actions healing self when they can instead be spent on destroying Gary's (and Melvin's and Karen's and Cardotron's ..and maybe eventually Mom's?) masses -- unless Inspiring Presence ever finds its way into your decks. $E^ b

@timeracers: I'd never really seen that spoken out loud anywhere. Good point, though. ~nodnod~ I've noticed that limitation generally speaking, (aside from Radiation Bomb potentially hitting multiple targets,) ... but at the same time, priests do get Laser Spray created in-hand from Laser Strike and Laser Whip. So. ~shrug~ I understand if it's disqualification material, but I figure it's not too far off the beaten path. (Perhaps the possibility to put 3 on a priest is problematic, though -- 9 on a Priest party, but that's fewer than what Wizards can bring. ~shrug again~) Probably my biggest problem in designing this item was thinking I wouldn't have time to even give anything much thought, then long after Flak said it ends soon, it's still open, thus my just slapping something down before running out of time for sure. $:^ P

@darkmagic101 et al: I wonder if Blooming Ground could've feasibly found its way onto normal player items before EttSC, but the new each-terrain-splot-does-something mechanic really changes the game, especially concerning that card:
Healing Beacon x1 -> pretty much max out your whole party's HP;
Laser Beacon x1 -> one-shot a dwarf warrior on new round, potential to one-shot a whole party of elf wizards on new round;
Rad Goo x1 -> one-shot an elf wizard on new round, potential to one-shot a dwarf warrior if Vulnerable gets attached and reattached, not to mention so much more opportunity to add Trip within the last three attachments;
Laser Beacon x1 -> over half of Blitzkenripper's health without armor;
Dual Laser Beacon x1 -> a good three quarters of Blitzkenripper's health without armor;
et cetera. It could be fun and interesting, I agree, but purely OP.

@DunDunDun: Ha ha ha, Impetuous Heal + Laser Spray x2 maybe. $E^ b Different item flair of course. ~ Also, "PDK"? I looked through the last couple pages. Are you talking to me? (Another secret nickname you need to explain? Meh heh.) I was saying the green-on-black could be snatched, shrunken maybe, and masked into that shape you posted, much like how you took Throon's Quick Laser Shield texture and gave it a different shape.

 

Hmm.... If Aloyzo picks a minor token beacon item, we could test this in the geomancer levels.

Or we could nerf it so Bloom only affects the old simple terrains. Or go back to having chars only affected by one terrain attachment.

 

I really like this item. Blooming Ground is a very cool magic card.

 

Blooming ground would be insanely powerful as a player's card. Pop it once, and a Radioactive Spray can go from 3 squares to 27. Quality for a player version should probably be Diamond +.

 

along with bad itemization(like it +2 demonic miasma(level 10))

 

Somebody should make a Mauve Manticore level were you have Blooming Ground, Laser Beacons, Healing Beacons, Pillars of Stone and Irradiated terrain. And you have to fight several dragons or something other huge.

 

Hmmm...

 

Darn, I just realized I could have made level 21 legendary boots with Warp Run, Scamper, and Flanking Move. Oh well, maybe next time.

 

Do you remember that you can only make level 17 or less items because of this month's restriction?

 

I just meant in general. I forgot that I could make them. Oh well, maybe some other time.

 

Warpspeed Boots
Warp Runx2, Energizing Move:

More importantly, how do we not have these yet?

Spoiler

 

Maybe because it is level 24.

 

Not recommended because of lightning bolt which has stun.

 

Okay, here's my second revision.

Thinking of submitting this to the next Aloyzo's Arsenal if the rules permit:

FDrybob
Staff of the Thunder God
Level 17 Epic Staff
2x Potent Spark, 1x Deadly Spark, 1x Arcing Spark, 1x Jumpskark, 1x1x Powerful Spark

 

Level 15(Potent Spark is A-)

 

Warpspeed boots clearly transcend your limited pre-warp capabilities. :|

 

I think you'd be wasting your entry. I don't think they'd ever release Lightning bolt as a player card to be honest. A range 8 linear stun is stupidly overpowered. Wild spark is potentially undercosted as well though there is plenty of blocking terrain in most MP maps so it could be somewhat balanced as silver cost.

 

The funny thing about cards like Wild Spark (decreasing damage on conditions) is how they suffer greatly to Lifesaving Block, right? heheh
