Court Wizard Rework to help the flood

Congrats sir, just me being on this thread has made me the top person you have replied to :clap:

Well I gtg to another thread to chop off some heads

Joke donā€™t hurt me

I just started reading through the CW idea flood, and I think this may be the best one Iā€™ve yet come across.

Although I would in no way ever champion the idea of changing a full drive/transportation ability to a deflection ability like you have done here (changing Tornado, which swaps, for Magical Door, which deflects), that is largely because I love the high skill ceiling and amazing risk-reward potential of the ability.
Since ToL is already buffing everything far past normal limits, however, I am okay with the idea. We will need to look at the Cultā€™s transports though.

All in all, this is a solid set of tweaks that should go a long way towards quelling the massesā€™ inane issues with the CW, while keeping its main purpose relatively intact. Iā€™d probably give it at least 3 Magical Door uses though.

Thank you. Thatā€™s actually the basis for what I wanted from court wizard. All the classes are fairly powerful, especially when compared to their counter parts from games like God.

I too enjoy tornado, however there are a lot of players, especially new ones, that donā€™t see the potential of it, which is why doorway is so nice, as it emulates what tornado does (target redirection) except it can be used to protect key roles.

Iā€™m not sure about buffing it to three, however, as it is a strictly better tornado. But I have no idea how this would play out in game obviously.

Edit: I think I enjoy it at 2 more, as the ability is powerful, and players have to think ā€œdo I waste doorway early to prove myself, or do I save it for big situations, like prince being outed?ā€ I think that gives it a more interesting dynamic, and makes it harder to ā€œproveā€ cw claims.

I also considered buffing it to do exactly as sageā€™s and have both deflect everyone, even immune targets, however that might be too powerful for a bd role.

I may have done something very similar to your day ability that might just help with that. :wink:

Let me get through all of these CW ideas, and then Iā€™ll take a look at what Iā€™ll do for my own suggestion.

Donā€™t worry

I probably posted in all of them saying they are confirmable
