That would be called 'reverse-cure' (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Is that a bad thing, though? It can be good for supplementing your mana stream when it runs low (D&D BT/IWBTH), or can be used strategically to increase your mana income at the expense of making your progress much riskier.

Too powerful as is.

But I like the sound of it. It could help sustain a lot, and mages won't be so dependent on mana pots anymore.

Maybe it could be made to consume 100% OC in addition to the HP cost, or cost spirit.

Or maybe a new "stance" that consumes OC, spirit, hp, or some combo of them and greatly buffs mana regen to something like 10x base regen.

Health for mana is OP, especially for higher level players.
Health for spirit would be interesting. Just make the mana cost ridiculously high so people would be forced to use it under Channeling.

Health for spirit? And costs mana? How useful could that be?

Together with regen 2. Still quite OP IMO.

It's useful if you need Spirit Shield to stay alive on higher difficulties - ie, if you're maging.
AoE spells are fun and exciting, but if you need 4 turns to clear a round and enemies can kill you thrice over in one, it's kind of pointless to even try.

Well damn, I was scratching my head wonder why you guys thought this way until I realized I was thinking about it backwards. I was thinking gain health in exchange for spirit, making it a spirit version of heal or regen with a mana cost.

But yeah spirit in exchange for health would be useful.

Still want some sort of way to gain mana outside of normal regen, et, and pots though.

EDIT - Especially if SS gets nerfed (not that I can pull off perma SS yet without scrolls, I can only get in 10 hits before it wears off)

EDIT2 - I still need SS or SoL on even lower difficulties right now. Can't even be sure that I don't get critted for all my hp even on normal past round 100 in IW, or all 10 or whatever monsters land all their attacks in the initial synchro attack.

Why don't mage try asking for the single target spell to be more powerful? ... It seem odd to me that people seem to, for whatever reason, using AOE spell to kill 1 enemy...

We have the most powerful spell called 'magic missile' (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I use AoE to kill single enemies because Alt+2 is faster than using the mouse (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

However powerful that is (which it does), apparently it's not a single target spell of choice for RoB. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Nah, it's proven that AOE version of spells are superior choice in RoB because of the x2 AOE multiplier on the main target.

You know how tenboro works, you ask for a single target upgrade and you en up with your aoe spell nerfed ...

I think its how much damage you can do for how much mana it costs. Will using a single target spell do the same damage vs a AOE that you target on a monster? Why use a single target spell for xx mana when you can use a more powerful spell for less mana or for free

And in the same amount of time

Aren't AOE spells take more time to cast than single target spells? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

not if fully upgraded

Replace that mocking stamina smiley with a progress bar

Better idea: replace that with pony!

Yeah, a better way to shake up the post-200 game would be to make enemies spawn with special flags, such as "Berserker" (agitated from the start of battle), "Implacable" (immune to Stun/Sleep), "Dirty Fighter" (all hits are criticals), "Armored" (takes bonus physical mitigation from physical attacks and immune to Penetrated Armor) or "Quick-Footed" (bonus 25% evade) or "Nullified" (bonus resist or magical mitigation) which would make combat more strategic and thoughtful while making it less of a tedious chore at the same time by not buffing every enemy to Herculean levels of durability.

To come back to this again:

1. Remove HP Buff from all monsters and replace it for 'Mini Boss Boosts.' 10% Boost, 20% Boost and so on. This Buff could be shown by greying out the Mon A, Mon B, Icon depending on how much of an HP Boost it got.
Lower HP boosts should be more common than the higher ones of course.

2. Bunker Busters Suggestion: There could be a flag for almost everything. Like 50% less damage taken to a certain element or damage Type. Also Stat Boosts for certain Monster stats, low boosts and as well high boosts to create a lot of variety.

Of Course Monsters can spam with HP Buffs and Flags (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

With this the game will be faster paced but not any easier! Just think about what a fuck you a High PL Monster can be with one of the more cruel Flags.

3. In the same Patch Scatter can become a second Chain Skill because now you don't need it anymore to make the killspeed bearable but as a tactical weapon against the cruel things this change can bring.

4. Lower the Damage growth on IW/CF/GF or remove it completely. It is a relict of the past when it was possible to play 10000+ rounds.

5. Make Resist work on Physical Monster skills but create a 'Flag' to allow Monsters to bypass it.

6. Sprites will always have the ability to ignore resist. (They need a buff!)

7. Celestials may spawn with a special Healer or Supporter flag allowing them to cast Healing and Supportive Spells.

8. Elementals can spawn with a special Flag allowing them 'Burn' effects and such with their normal attacks. (DoT Effects)

9. Also some Super rare Flags like Demigod Mode which will boost a Monster to Boss or Legendary like HPs and will grant a guaranteed Equipment drop.

This System could start at level 50 and will add more cruel Flags the more you level up.
