No need to apologize, life happens but I worded my comment incorrectly as well, I understand it is not a Permanent reduction, but I meant it was while you have that much essence. Like I has said though, it would be cool if the CD reduction worked like Battle Momentum so that whenever an essence is acquired instead of getting a "Permanent" reduction of your abilities while at that Essence you would instead get say 0.5 seconds off of all CD's. Does that make more sense?
I've been working on a second concept for the trait, i have updated this hero concept with a 2nd trait with different rules but the same power so to speak.
The second revolves around the idea of Battle Momentum as you suggested going off the idea of the cooldown reduction/ability power being 'triggered' by auto attacks which will be on a 5 second timer which i may lower. I personally like both these traits but i do tend to favor the second. I also upped the ability bonus to 25% up from 20% and the stacks required to 250 up from 200. This allowed me to tweak both traits to a better level i believe.
I also added a definite death penalty rule for high end stacks, with the Essence loss rising by 10% for 25 Essence this can add up quickly if your say in a strong push and minions/mercs are dying. At 401 stacks death will mean the loss of all Essence (50%+50%).
I am also in the progress of tweaking some talents and replacing some poor thought out ones with new ones, some may reflect on the idea of severed essence.
Thank you for the feedback without it i doubt this new trait idea would have been created. As always your feedback is very welcome :)
Looking a lot better TipsyJoker. I like the "Cap Point" on the Essence but humor me for a moment. Instead of getting a permanent Cooldown Reduction on all Abilities per Essence how about a Battle Momentum effect to where whenever you collect an Essence the Cooldown is reduced by an amount instead of a Permanent Stack?
Fruit for thought is all.
I worded the trait incorrectly i will work on a better explanation. Simply put the effect is not permanent and is tied entirely to the stack amount changing as she gains/loses essence through kills, ability use and death, so if she loses it all she has no bonus to her abilities at all.
I increased the death penalty to 40% from 25% to make it more punishing when she dies. I didn't feel that 25% was enough of an impact.
So for example; say she has farmed for a while and has 200 essence which is the max bonus required (5 second CD reduction and 20% ability bonus [may tweak]) and she dies; she will lose 80 Essence which accounts for 2 seconds and 6% ability power. But of course it keeps stacking making higher stacks more of a threat.
I may add a feature for when her stacks reach a stage where she has over 400 if the player never dies to allow the stacks to take a huge hit if death happens. So you could say it jumps to 60% at a certain stack size etc and it could be tracked in a percentage marker on her trait to track it. (Probably on mouse over)
Forgive me for the late reply real life has had a grip on me for last few weeks heh. Ty for the feedback, its always welcome :)
Fruit for thought is all.
You have some really cool ideas and I think it would be nice to have a Val'kyr ingame. I am really liking the Trait but it seems like I really good player that doesn't die will just become OP so I would suggest a cap. Other than that, some Talents and a little Balancing and this would be a Character I would love to play.
Thanks and i am working on some ideas for her talents at the moment i don't like posting small bits but rather large chunks and will once i have a good amount of talents (after a lot of tweaking) :D
I changed the trait after doing some math, at 200 essence she would've had 10 second reduction and a 20% ability bonus which is to powerful heh. So I've added a cap to the bonus but the essence will still continue to stack, i also added a death penalty to punish the player for dying by losing 25% of the essence each time she dies which can pack a punch if your stacks are high. Also increase the cooldown for her heal ability.
Thanks again for the feed back :)
