Aloyzo's Arsenal Official SUBMISSION Discussion Thread

Any suggestion for a better name for my item? I tried to theme it around forgetting a switch on or off

 

I think your name is fun but I would be tempted to add more flash floods, lol. But more relevantly what card is underused that this is helping? Flash Flood? I think flash flood is a fine card I don't think this would help that card anyway. Frost Jolt? This item won't make frost jolts more popular outside of SP is what I am guessing. Forgetfulness? One of my favorites (Crisping Rod) though I don't play MP but forgetfulness is decently itemized in my opinion. So that is my opinion.

 

Crisping rod is the only item where forgetfulness makes more sense than counterspell, so I wanted to make a long range staff with it since it is a card that is seldomly played in multiplayer and being mostly on short range items where counterspell would be better might be a factor.

 

It feels a lot like your bending enough to break this months AA restrictions.

IMHO Forgetfulness is VERY playable, because of Spellbane Scepter. It's also very accessible, because it's only uncommon.

Sure, Aork's Vial Of Memories and Waasker's White Cup are better (also legendary, so much more harder and expensive to aquire) at the same job, but we are talking entirely different cards here. That doesn't merit Forgetfulness to be used in this months AA.

 

Acid jet is already on Pearwood Staff and Amethyst Crystal Staff (plus Whiterune Staff and maybe even Emerald Crystal Staff might be playable, I guess) , yet the submission with it had 16 votes last time and nobody complained.

 

Luckily this isn't democracy. Otherwise I would've stopped playing CH long time ago.

 

I'm thankful for the Destructive Purge submissions. Just because there is one playable item that has it isn't enough to rule it out. It's on so few items at all. That being said, most amethyst cards are only on one item. I dont think amethyst cards were what Flax had in mind in terms of rejects. Sorry, Almighty Hack. I'd be happy to be wrong. 1 in 100 players uses the hackmaster. Furthermore, there are certain traits that are underused, both positive and negative, but i doubt blu manchu wants more traits. Flax has said repeatedly that a case could be made for making every trait at least bronze quality. This is why I didnt submit items containing defensiveness, unlucky, and wimpy. Though these cards are underused in my opinion, i dont think cardhunter wants them to be any more used. I could be wrong. But it's my hunch that items with neg. traits mostly get rejected. Exception: festering guts. This is just my heads up to all you Fumble and Blind Rage submissions. :,)
Edit: mad centaur's spear has blind rage on it. But....i still don't think we need more blind rage. That has to be like the most frequent neg. trait in itemization.

 

I feel like this should be highlighted,as I'm sure a lot of people skim through the first AA post

 

Oh, @tolkien , why did you have to remind me about my last reject round submission? Because that might have been a better submission, ha.

 

is there a file somewhere that list the least used cards ?

 

I posted this on the other AA thread:

 

@gulo gulo arcane beam isn't used as much as deadly spark. Memory loss is awesome, but mostly used on one item. Here's to a neuralyzer in the future.

 

well, here's a staff with the least used cards : Staff of Uncertain Magick, , lvl 22

Scorching Rays
Lava Pool
Ice Bolts
Minor Illusion
Prestidigiation
Prestidigiation

 

Personally wouldn't mind seeing Hemorrhage being put into the game with a lot of the greater heal based builds going on.

 

One of the thing to consider is an interaction with Negative Energy Being it would make the bearer invulnerable. Not a big deal, just something to consider.

 

There's also other cards in Acid Fiends Arsenal that I was considering to use, but I wanted the item to require two major tokens to use and also to have a handicap for wielding such a corrupted item. I really would've wanted to use Demonic Revenge or Demonic Miasma, but you can't find them on staves and I don't want to push my luck with an already dubious card choice. (Acid Pool)

This was my other version I was thinking of using:


Rarity: Rare
Item Level: 18
Power Tokens:

 

I actually like the unsubmitted one better. More thematic.

 

Acid pool shouldn't be a big deal since Lava pool is already in the game and laser weapons dropping lava everywhere! Not to mention volcano.

 

^ the big deal part of the acid pool is more about the fact that you have to stop when you step on the space.
