Required Level: 400
Levels per ability: 20
Item Restrictions: NONE
Special Notes: 70% Movement Speed | 50HP

Ironclad Alchemy: Gain % chance to convert incoming bullets within the radius into armor for himself and all teammates within that radius.
Equivalent Exchange: Chance to have damage done by himself or any teammate within the radius be converted directly into life which is divided amongst the players in that area.
Item Transmutation: Activating this ability will create an area at target location which you can then activate to temporarily disrupt items within range, preventing their use.

These are the plans for the new support class to be released with a reprogrammed and ability altered blood mage.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

what are the chances we're looking at for the abilities? and will they be converting all damage taken when they go off, or a portion?

[What]

So you might so his favorite music is......Full Metal


Also, the item disable thing, I'm assuming that would disable laces and what not. What about the periapt of health? Would the enemy lose 50 hp and could this potentially kill them? Same if they are jumping around with sock of feather, does that mean that gravity would suddenly turn on for them?

If so, sounds pretty cool, would need some testing to make sure the leaching abilities don't make him too op.

[Zackychuu]

Not sure about the class itself, would have to try it out in-game before forming an opinion.
I'm excited about having something else to work on rather than just re-playing op races.
Any estimate on the reprogramming of BM and release of this race?

[ZERO]

If it is not done in the next 25 days it will not be out until late May.

[What]

Are you planning on releasing it along with the bloodmage reprogram?

[CYBER]

yeah, this race needs to proc insanely imho to be actually viable considering that it needs to get up close and personal, while getting damaged to rly power up.

please tell me the "health gain" can overcap it's original starting hp, right? like santa/undead ?

im guessing the third ability is basically JUST a lace disabler? considering i cant think of any other item with range indicator?

i mean it's a nice skill to have, just very situational and it could use a better power? maybe if it can temporarily disable ALL item procs (wherther offensive like mask, defensive like helm or tactical like lace) on enemies within a radius for a short period of time. basically allowing the alchemist and teammates to nuke down an opponent for a very short period of time?


also, is that "disabler" skill on a cooldown? or consumable counts?


the ultimate, is it EXACTLY bloodmage's current ulti? or does is the ground set on fire momentarily as a scroching/damaging fire effect for a short duration after the proc is activated?

[ZERO]

Yes the item based ability is very complicated to implement and is planed to literally take away the items for a short time and give them back after. Massive amounts of code will be needed for that to work b/c I will need to reprogram the shop menu to add some more APIs. Also for the ult yea it is the same ability just with a cool effect added to it.

Yes they will release at the same time.

[CYBER]

Yes the item based ability is very complicated to implement

i hear ya.
i can only imagine someone attempting to buy an item while the enemy currently took away the weaps.
does it replace an old item if maxxed?
does it add on to the items if there's a free slot? is THAT item taken as well if the duration of alchemist is still active? or is it immune? etc...


perhaps to create a global "item_disabled" boolean state, zero?
where u simply add a boolean check before applying item effects if that state variable is false or true?

and then you toggle back that variable when the alchemist effect is over?
i just think that taking away items and back might create some null pointer problems like what used to happen to weapons taken away and given back by flying dragonfly/strider

anywho, u know better
