Report #403
Skillset: Bonecrusher Skill: New
 Org: Ebonguard Status: Completed Jul 2010
Furies' Decision:
Approved and implemented.
Problem: Bonecrusher has the same difficulty as Blademaster in that it lacks a
wide array of critical-level afflictions on numerous body parts (unlike the two-
handed specializations). It also has less of other supporting abilities leading
up to the affliction wounds than Blademaster, which leads to it being pretty
much the worst specialization at this point now that the infamous double-tap has
been fixed. It can use a bit of tweaking, and one of the places to start is
another critical-level affliction on a body part that can be aimed for to help
split / move parry and stancing.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Create a new skill called "CrushAorta". This will be
 a critical level affliction on Chest, either swing or
 strike. It will afflict with a burst vessel, as well
 as some damage. The damage should be amplified if
 the target is afflicted with CrushChest (the heavy
 bonecrusher chest affliction).

Amplified in what way? More damage or more vessels will be burst doing this new
skill on someone with a crushed chest?

The damage should be amplified (so more damage). I don't think it should give
more vessels, but it should be able to do a bit more damage if properly prepped
I think.

Makes sense. Go for it!
