Report #1285
Skillset: Skill: Clumsiness
 Org: Sentinels Status: Completed Dec 2014
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: Clumsiness currently penalises physical classes moreso than caster
classes: making them miss more often and reducing their damage compared to
reducing parry effectiveness. As one of the afflictions remaining after the
overhaul, altering this affliction to evenly affect both physical and caster
classes would be preferable. A solution suggested on the envoys channel was to
turn it into an 'anti-sensitivity' affliction - reducing damage done rather then
increasing damage received.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Have clumsiness reduce the damage done by all
 attacks, not just physical ones.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Solution #1 and remove the 'miss more often' and
 'reduced parry effectiveness' aspects.

Support solution 2. Hopefully physical classes will be balanced in the future
less around multiple layers of rng. Streaks either way get really frustrating.

Sure, easy enough, but this seems like a huge waste of a report. You just lost
daydreaming an narcolepsy. There's better opportunities here but if this is what
you want, I will advocate it. I don't see any issues.

Sorry, wrong report. Actual comment: message ieptix Neos is wondering what the
proc chance for whirlpool is.

I am support solution 1 for damage reduction equal to the damage increase of
sensitivity. Solution 2 is really going to depend on a number of things we
haven't approached yet so it may be getting ahead of ourselves

Gosh, I'm bad at this

I can support solution 1

I like solution 1, and it nicely fits in with Harmonics MalefactGem, which can
cause targeted clumsiness on a target now.

Support Solution 1 with removal of the miss more often aspect.

Solution 1 supported, and I have no qualms with Solution 2 if the admin think it
is viable.
