Report #1408
Skillset: Moon Skill: Drawdown
 Org: Moondancers Status: Completed Dec 2015
Furies' Decision:
Approved for both moon and night.
Problem: Currently, Moondancers bash using Nature Curse until they learn Moon to
Transcendent granting them both Moonburst and Moonfire. Guardian classes receive
their secondary bashing skill earlier, specifically at Fabled level. This
difference does not seem necessary now with the introduction of Moonfire. To
note also is that to use those bash skills, Drawdown must be used every login
(10p) and may vanish when temporarily disconnected, unlike other power defs.
This report seeks the following solutions:
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Separate Moonburst from Drawdown. Move Moonburst down
 to Fabled (between Full and Resurgem). It's damage
 could be as is now or be scaled to be better than
 Nature Curse but less without Drawdown.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Similarly, have this change affect Shadowdancers too
 by moving Nightkiss down to Fabled (between Lash and
 Longnight).

1 and 2, Night should definitely get the equivalent change.

I don't mind this change. Supported

Both please. Supported.

I'd just like to say I'd prefer Moonburst damage to be as is since people choose
Moonfire over Moonburst for the damage type.

Support for solution 2.

Sure, but this makes nightkiss/drawdown really suck as a trans skill now.
---[Tredian on 12/19 @ 00:27 writes]:
I disagree though. Drawdown by itself gives 4/8 mana regen, 1/3 equi recovery (a
necessity in performing MD burst kill combos, for hexen at least), and 2/10 univ
damage resist. Even with this change, Moonfire (50% fire, 50% divinus), will
remain with Drawdown. Only Moonburst (100% magic) will separated to give future
MDs/SDs a better basher than Nature Curse at a non-trans level.

Sure. I've always felt like this sort of thing was needed. Having to bash with
nature curse all the way until trans is rough.
