hello, here are some suggestions to improve combat (which are in eso (as a form of validation)
General
- Reduce the cooldown of many abilities and rebalance the damage ratio’s so the game is more spam. In general the abilities should fall under 3-15 second cooldowns.
Light attacks
- Reduce their damage by 20% and increase their gcd to 0.8 seconds.
- Improve mana regeneration from them
heavy Attacks
- Increase damage by 10%
- reduce gcd to 0.8 seconds
- reduce cast time to 0.2 seconds.
- create talents for each weapon to significally change the way such heavy attacks react to the class, especially, when providing buffs. For example, swords can provide fortification.
Blocking
- Make blocking absorb a value of health, 80%. Create talents in tank based classes to reduce the damage taken and improve that base value to 160% or as needed so as to not have any noticable change to the mechanics
Animations
- create unique animations to heavy attacks for all weapons.
