Report 1225

Report #1225
Skillset: Aquamancy Skill: None
 Org: Aquamancers Status: Completed Jul 2013
Furies' Decision:
Solution 4.
Problem: Aquamancy holds a total of 10 demesne effects(12 if you count Deluge
and Whirlpool), and of those 10 a few of them are largely redundant or could
benefit from being combined. Examples: Tsunami and Stillwater both do damage,
with Stillwater only doing < 200 damage, Tsunami and Typhoon, both hitting
enemies on other elevations(with Typhoon only being used for flyers), compared
to the elevation hitting effects for the other melding guilds, with only 1 for
both flying and trees, Healspring and Sweetfount, both being healing effects,
compared to Aeromancy Westwind, which heals the exact same things as those two,
sans wounds, while also healing more things, compacted into 1 skill. This report
seeks to eliminate and compact 3 redundant skills(Stillwater, Typhoon,
Sweetfount).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Consolidate Stillwater and Typhoon into Tsunami and
 Sweetfount into Healspring.

I don't really see the problem with this. Would the combined damage effect just
hit full all the time, or do partial damage if the target is waterwalk?

Solution 1 supported!

Yeah sure

Did you mean consolidate Sweetfount into Healspring? Either way, Supported.

Since I can't add in a new solution, a Solution 2 would be: Consolidate the
damage of Stillwater and all the effects of Typhoon into Tsunami and Sweetfount
into Healspring. In addition, allow Tsunami to be used outside of a demesne.
With a change to solution 1 saying that all the various effects of Stillwater
would be consolidated into Tsunami in additon to allowing Tsunami used outside
the demense.

Some thoughts to note: "StillWater is not just "damage" as this makes it sound.
Although I agree with the Tsunami/Typhoon and HealSpring/SweetFount change,
StillWater should not be consolidated into Tsunami/Typhoon. Stillwater nullifies
natural and magical waterbreathing by (RPly) extracting the oxygen from the
water. This does not make sense to do with Tsunami/Typhoon. Also, StillWater is
blocked by Protection scroll while Tsunami/Typhoon is not. Consolidating them
would be an indirect buff to StillWater, which may not be intended by the
report. There are also special interactions that StillWater has with other
abilities (such as the decision for Report #645). I believe it would be best for
it to stand as its own ability."

I agree with Iosai (as I almost always do). So in short Healspring into
sweetfount and Typhoon into Tsunami.
