When I play an earth mage, I really don't like to spec poison. It just doesn't really fit my idea of geomancy; in fact, if you wanted to split the poison skills altogether that would be great. Realizing this probably won't happen, however, please add decent earth-themed skills for each tier so I can pretend that geomancy does not include poison.
For a list of great ideas:
Stabbey's General comments and criticism Here are some of my favorites:
Earth -
Skipping Stone -
"It's easy, just give it a flick of your wrist."Earth: 1 // AP: 4 // Duration: Instant. // Cooldown: 5 turns.
Yes, I still want this one in the game. A low-damage, low-level earth-damage spell that works like the Ranger's Ricochet, bouncing from enemy to enemy. This could be good in the enemy's hands as well.
Earth -
Stalagmite -
"Impale them with the fury of the earth".Earth: 4 // AP: 9 // Duration: Instant. // Cooldown: 11 turns.
I still want this one too. A single-target, relatively high-damage spell. Could also be devastating in enemy hands.
Geomancer -
Earth Wall -
"Build your walls of mud and dirt."Geomancer: 3 // AP: 9 // Duration: 3 turns. // Cooldown: 8 turns.
Draw a barrier of dirt to block movement and attacks. Does some Earth-type damage with a chanee to petrify any enemies in the path of the barrier when it is cast.
Geomancer -
Mass FortifyGeomancer: 4 // AP: 8-10 // Duration: 3 turns. // Cooldown: ? turns.
Requires: Level 16. The mass version of Fortify. It applies Fortify to all allies within a 10m radius of the target. Longer cooldown time, same duration, but with a cost of +2-4 AP compared to the single-target version. You could possibly reduce the amount of armour it gives compared to the single-target version.
Geomancer -
Dust Knuckles -
"Taste allergies, numbnuts!"Geomancer: 1 // AP: 3 // Duration: Instant // Cooldown: 5 turns.
Delivers minor earth damage to a target in touch range (3m). Earth damage, no status effects.
Really, the whole thread is full of great new skill ideas. Hopefully Larian will take this opportunity to make skills a lot more interesting.
