Danced with glee.
So.. 100% down to 99.9999%
Also I changed my Raido alias from SAY RIDE HOME to QUEUE PREPEND EQBAL SAY RIDE HOME.
Finished proposal to the city.
Stared to hunt, but decided that I was way too lazy, and tired.
My pillow's looking pretty damned good.
In practice, she would eat 2-3 ginger every 3-5 tempers unless she was close to being locked and it would completely drain her fluid. While I was going full temper/truewrack with her only using plants and tree, she regularly drained her fluid to 0 after a small build. I didn't want to post something that size here though.
I really don't like playing an affliction class and the fluid was a twist on combat that made alchemist interesting to me, but it's feeling more and more like a really slow serpent with a fraction of the afflictions, hence the FML sentiment to my post.
There are so many other interesting things that could be done with fluid instead of just making it harder and harder to get fluid levels. Like instead of an instant lock, phlegmatic inundation could lay on gradually like hypnosis, or scatter fluids into the other humours, or give a bonus to tempering for a few tempers, or, hell, I've been almost-silently wishing for a bone marrow humour. Phlegmatic was definitely too strong after the last classlead; before we only had to stick asthma and get 16 fluids (10 phlegmatic, 3 sanguine, 3 melancholic), now we can stick any of asthma, paralysis, or impatience and only need 7 phlegmatic (10 if opponent has fitness) and none of the other humours. A nimble alchemist will lock you in under 20 seconds if you don't get your fluid down (and subtract 5 seconds from the lock if they manage to catch you with any 2 of those afflictions instead of 1), and that's not right, but that's just monopolising on phlegmatic like a jerk. Class is getting boring as hell by taking fluid away, though, so fix phlegmatic instead ffs.
This is what happened to me today: my class got less interesting to me. Again. Because I like playing with fluids. If I wanted to play an affliction class and do nothing but lock people, I'd be something else. I don't care if what fluid does gets changed. It's the fact that I'm watching fluid become less and less of a thing that is making me lose interest in my class.
edit: Also - All I want for Logosmas is a bone marrow humour. Who do I gotta blow?
P.s I deserve respect for not making the obvious 'playing with fluids' joke.
edit: feel like I should add my two cents as well asides from a jokejab: Playing with fluids may be fun to you, but it takes flexibility and viability to win a fight instead of just 'fun'. I'd like to get kills via demon corrupt too, but sadly it's not viable unless I invest heavily in Int arties. It looks fun as hell.
Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh."
Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."
My year is up, too. I have a bunch scheduled this month. Good luck.
edit: I think this thread is for what your character did.
Go Team Mischief!
