Agny needs a rework. It has several problems which should be solved independently.
- The boost too high for r8. What makes it worse is that it’s available at lv120.
To solve it gracefully IMC needs to bring back the amulets. They should occupy gem sockets (for any item rather than shields only). Each amulet should grant portion of agny’s effect (1/8 I would say). Amulets should be untradable and obtainable through questing (~6 quests till r8, extra can be added as we get more content and higher level cap). Amulets should be kept when removed from socket (be undestructable).
Later you can introduce similar amulets for different elements.
Pros
- Damage increases gradually
- You sacrifice gem socket for each upgrade which means you choose between damage increase and higher defence/hp. Instead of creating ultimate supportive tanky dd based on pyro you either make supportive glasscannon or tanky support (and well if other classes ever get some damage you can make tanky dd with that)
Cons
- Those amulets will benefit other classes less. Well not a problem for PDs because they have healing factor. Can be easily fixed by adjusting multipliers to make amulets reasonable for all classes who have fire element skills.
- The formula is retarded
Not sure if anyone who designed this put any thought in it at all. It is clear it should be fixed. For example, what is the reason for agny’s bonuses applying addictively to element alignment? When you hit fire mobs with 3.8xMatk it should be halved but instead we are getting (3.8-0.5)xMatk.
Well everything above is my opinion and obviously nobody’s interested in it (imc included)
