Report #1498
Skillset: Loralaria Skill: VioletVibrato
 Org: Symphonium Status: Completed Jun 2016
Furies' Decision:
Solution 2.
Problem: VioletVibrato is Loralaria's affliction song. It currently afflicts
with various mental afflictions, deadening being one of them. Since deadening is
being removed with the overhaul. VioletVibrato also has the unfortunate knack of
hitting with afflictions that a target already has, resulting in no affliction
being given at all. This report seeks to replace deadening with a different
affliction and make it a bit smarter when afflicting.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Replace deadening with stupidity. Also make
 VioletVibrato a smart afflicter.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Replace deadening with hallucinations. Also make
 VioletVibrato a smart afflicter.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Replace deadening with timewarp. Also make
 VioletVibrato a smart afflicter.

Support for any. Preference for 3.

What other afflictions does violetvibrato give? Doesn't another song effect
already give timewarp?
---[Asmodea on 5/31 @ 22:43 writes]:
VioletVibrato currently gives clumsiness, deadening, paranoia, epilepsy,
confusion or reckless. RedRubato gives minor timewarp. My idea was to link RR
and VV with solution 3 and give it a slight boost as the timewarp given by RR is
quite neglible, curable in one steam cure. So the possibility of a second hidden
dose of timewarp would be helpful, and not overpowered as its from a pool of
other afflictions so its not going to hit all the time.

Making it a smart afflicter is a good first step. I think just deleting
deadening is already a good boost, since the other afflictions on the list are
all fairly solid...but my preference is either solution 1 or 2 of those listed.

I prefer solution 1 or 2. If timewarp from RedRubato isn't enough then that
should be addressed rather than adding it as an extra potential bit of burst in
another song. I think Rivius' alternative is also a good one

Solution 2 is my preference, Sol 1 is ok, but as pointed out, it already deals
solid afflictions.

Solution 2.
---[Silvanus on 6/2 @ 02:36 writes]:
Solution 1 is probably fine, for a new solution 3, I'd suggest just remove
Deadening and not replace it with anything, the other affs are decent I suppose.
---[Lerad on 6/2 @ 12:54 writes]:
Just out of curiosity, what's the second affliction chance of VV? Also, the
other bard guilds' passive affliction song equivalent is also smart afflicting,
right?
---[Asmodea on 6/2 @ 22:35 writes]:
There is a 25% chance of a second affliction should the bard have an amethyst
gem attached to their instrument. Wildarrane's AncientCurse was smart
afflicting, not sure about the other guilds.

Solution 1 or 2 looks good to me.

Solution 2.

Solution 1 or 2 looks good to me. Not overly keen on solution 3
---[Selna on 6/12 @ 03:10 writes]:
Solution 2 supported

Solution 1 or 2.
