Report 929

Report #929
Skillset: Discipline Skill: Clotting
 Org: Nihilists Status: Completed Sept 2012
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: Lusternia has come a long way in making combat and everyday gaming a
lot more simplified in many aspects(Keeneye, stratagems, liquidrift, etc).
Currently, clotting can be a very repetitive command, especially when dealing
with some of the high bleeding output that some classes are able to do.
Basically, just creating a lot of extra spam if you are in a fight against
anyone who outputs decent bleeding. This report aims at making things less
spammy for everyone.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Modify the Clotting command like so: CLOT # where #
 is the amount of clotting you want to send at once.
 What is meant by this is doing CLOT 5 clots x5 the
 standard clotting amount, for x5 the typical mana
 cost. Same amount clotted, same mana used up, just
 done in one command and not 5(or however many it may
 be)

I liked this idea originally, but I'd like to hear from druids. I know bleed in
sap is a useful tactic, and sap prevented clot spamming, so I'm not sure if it'd
be fair to alter than kill tactic for everyone elses's convenience.

I also like this idea and share Celina's concerns. Bleeding people out in sap is
a fundamental tactic and I'd hate to have to mess this up. Sior or someone else
once commented that they can code things so that you can in fact enter CLOT X,
but the game will treat it as if you entered clot x times individiaully. Can
this still be done? This way, the change would take effect but bleeding out in
sap remains viable.

When this came up in the Simple Ideas forum thread, I liked Rivius' (?)
suggestion that if under aeon/sap, it would only send a single clot.
---[Rivius on 9/17 @ 18:13 writes]:
Supported, so long as only one clot at a time occurs under aeon/sap. This report
would help reduce combat spam significantly.

Really like this, if it can be done without messing anything else up then I'm
all for it.
---[Enyalida on 9/19 @ 15:14 writes]:
Supported, with adjustments suggested in comments.
---[Shuyin on 9/20 @ 08:27 writes]:
If under aeon/sap, single clot is only sent would be a good idea
---[Tacita on 9/24 @ 13:35 writes]:
Supported with the one-clot in aeon/sap caveat.
---[Zynna on 9/25 @ 01:12 writes]:
Support with aeon/sap suggestion.

Having lived system-free for several years, I see the necessity of this report.
I support the report. My only question / concern is in regard to syntax. Is
"Clot 5" preferable to an auto-clot toggle syntax such as "Clot [ON/OFF]"? Are
there other syntaxes that would provide the end user with a better mechanic in
regards to efficiency and effectiveness (without comprimising an opponent's
bleedout offense)?
---[Hiriako on 9/26 @ 22:13 writes]:
Janalon's suggest may be best, have clotting have an 'autoclot' feature, which
turns off automatically in aeon/sap.

I do support making clot less spammy in general.
