Report #43
Skillset: Stag Skill: Gore
 Org: Serenguard Status: Rejected Sept 2008
Furies' Decision:
We do not feel this change is necessary.
Problem: Gore's instakill previously kicked in at 50% (Xenthos reports Swoop
began at 33% for mana) of a person's health at the beginning, however, as time
went on, it was realized that it was far too easy to achieve. Both Gore and
Swoop at some point was then reduced to tick at 25% of a person's health/mana
instead, but users (at least for Stag) find that once you reduce a person down
to that much health, you can easily just damage them to death anyway. So a happy
medium must be reached between the extremes of 'too easy' and 'pointless'.
Solution #1: Make Stag Gore and Crow Swoop's instakill aspect tick in at 33%
 of the target's health (mana for swoop) instead
Solution #2: Let Shuyin redo his suggestion to something that will be accepted
 :(

I am pretty sure that Swoop's was set at 33% to begin with (1/3). Just a
comment on the initial problem statement. I'm not entirely sure why it was
changed (I don't believe it was an envoy suggestion, just a random tweak behind
the scenes to the skill, so I don't really have an objection to bringing it back
up as long as you're aware it'll make it a lot easier to use for BlackTalon).

Problem blurb amended, yes, I'm aware it helps both but it doesn't make sense to
raise one and not the other
