Smithy- Build your own Items

I started a thread to talk about current submissions. http://forums.cardhunter.com/threads/aloyzos-submission-discussion.8334/

Yes, the rules don't want you to, but I see no reason not to talk about them if they are in their own place and aren't there to influence Flaxative's decision. Simply to get people talking about potential submissions and understanding what works and what doesn't work in the designscape better.

 

Snowstorm staff
Epic
Level 16


I just want a good staff to use freeze.

PS. I kinda wish freeze was duration 3 or at least encumber 7.
PPS. maze&whirlwind&Whirlwind enemies not being able to place the target in their starting square would also be great.

 

Maze is surprisely Paper+(1, D+) making this a terrible double major(level 18.0).

 

Id propose to switch one for a frost jolt then

 

So, with how popular The Strongarm is, I'm surprised I haven't seen a weapon like this suggested:
The Mighty Arm
Weapon
5x Strong Bludgeon
1x Weak Strike
It'd still be a tokenless, lvl 6 Legendary, and it'd synergize with Crusher!
Any thoughts?

 

I don't think it would get accepted. It would be a "must have" item for every single user. I'd prefer that any new items don't simply replace old ones completely.

 

Except isn't this what will eventually happen, regardless? Plenty of items are out shadowed by others already. *shrug*
Just thought it'd be a neat idea.

 

If you want to make a "best must have item" there are a lot of options. And maybe that will happen eventually, but I don't think we'll see a directly better item any time soon.

 

I was looking for something that could potentially make elf wizards work. Here it is:

Reckless Scouting

Elf Skill


I want to submit that to one of the future AAs, but I want some idea on how to make it better. The only thing I want from that is 2x Pathfinding.

 

If there's one thing you don't want on an elf wizard, it's vulnerable. Maybe squeamish?

 

The thing is, why would an Elf Wizard want that over an Elf Warrior?

 

I second the idea of Squeamish. Wizards can get around it better than Warriors.
Ofc, then it begs the question of why wouldn't you use it on a Priest instead. (Although most elf priests seem to be vamps)

 

Honestly, Squeamish kind of kills the point of any wizards par burst/firestorm/cano. Slowed, perhaps? Or Clumsy.

For buffed step arcanes?

 

I'd say Ouch! or Dropped Guard if they were a viable option, but I'm not sure if that'd really take.

 

How about fright? It doesn't stop any purple cards.

 

It stops the step attack that you get with it.

 

For some reason, I always figured people used Pathfinding to get Rocket Charge >.>

 

Don't know if this would actually be something anyone would play, but it was fun making...

Arcane Skill - Obscure Levitation
Level 15, Common
Hover, Smoke Bomb, Smoke Bomb

This is a niche item that follows the basic precedent of Advanced Levitation, but with utility cards instead of attack cards. I primarily designed it to make the Geomancer adventures a bit less painful for players running a 1/1/1. I don't see many other situations where it would beat out Electroporter Novice.

I haven't played PvP in over a year, so I have to ask: Would this be useful in MP or leagues? I suspect it would be occasionally and situationally, but not particularly powerful. I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts.

I'm considering submitting it to Aloyzo, but I doubt it would be strong or flashy enough to stand a chance.

 

Why pay a minor for this? You can get both cards on other slots, and this slot you even get the choice of 3 traits for tokenless. Highly recommend not submitting to AA.
