Report #1341
Skillset: Tattoos Skill: Weight
 Org: Nekotai Status: Completed Apr 2015
Furies' Decision:
Approved for all solutions.
Problem: With the upcoming change to buffs and resistances under the overhaul, a
couple of problems will be created within the tattoos system. First,
buffs/resist tattoos of less than 100 weight will cease to have effect, greatly
lowering the already limited amount of useful sub-100 tattoo powers available.
Secondly, the interaction between normal tattoos and monk tattoos for resistance
becomes questionable (a straight buff from 1/5 to 2/10 might not be a good
idea). This report aims to tackle both the problem about sub-100 weights and
monk resistance tattoos at the same time
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Have 100-weight of damageabsorption tattoo provide
 1/5 resist to everyone, and 2/7 resist to monks
 (under the TATTOOS ability in KATA). 100-weight of
 damagebuff should give 1/5 to everyone, including
 monks, in all circumstances, as per current mechanics
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Add tattoo weights to the following bodyparts: +8 to
 fingers AND toes, +25 to waist. This will allow
 everyone to have a maximum of 800 weight, so they can
 use the new damageabsorption/damagebuff tattoos
 instead of the weird 759 weight that is currently the
 case.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: In addition to solution 2, increase the weight of ALL
 current finger and toe tattoo DESIGNS to 10.
 (Currently, finger and toe designs are all 1 or 2
 weight, changing it all to 10 from the admin side
 will prevent people from needing to re-design all of
 their finger and toe designs)

Supported. I never understood why the weights came out to such a weird number.
That said, would this affect tattooarmour regarding the weight to armour
translation?
---[Lerad on 3/29 @ 14:16 writes]:
No, this report is aimed squarely and only at the damagebuff/damageabsorption
effects (old dmp) and how it will translate to the new system. Armour will be
looked at separately as per February's report 1317

Yeah sure

Solution was re-worded slightly to make sure that it is clear the monk bonus is
only for resistance, not for buffs.
