Skill : A Plague Upon Thee

Post by bloarg »

I'm a big fan of this skill because putting rats in corpses is always fun and funny. That being said, I feel like it could use a tweak. Currently you're paying 10mp to place and then another 10mp to summon your rats. That's 20 mp for the weakest pets that are really more amusing than anything else and it's a child t3 skill.

My suggestion would be to remove the cost to summon. Or maybe hedge it to 15 to place and zero to summon. Allow a Rev that really wants to make a big big pile of rats to make a really big pile of rats. Moving the cost away from the summon would allow a long-term plan of making a ton of rats and then releasing simultaneously without the MP throttle.

Maybe the summon component could be automatic and without cost, so you get twice the gimmick for half the price.

Maybe the rats automatically summon after a random delay?

Well you know, you gotta consider that Liches are raising those corpses like hell, so if its on a delay they'll probably get scopped up by a Servitor.

...
Why isn't there a interaction for a Lich using a infected corpse?

And that'd be a perfect trigger for the rodent infestation to trigger
