Report 1433

Report #1433
Skillset: Herbs Skill: Earwort
 Org: Cantors Status: Completed Apr 2016
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: With the overhaul shift to the new curing balances, certain aspects of
bard combat have remained on awkward cure balances. While the issue of trueblind
is alleviated by faeleaf needing dust balance, earwort being on dust balance
means the issue with auric curing raised in report #1306 remains present.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Change earwort to additionally require and consume
 steam balance instead of dust balance.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Add effect to eating earwort lastinig 2 seconds,
 during which auric afflictions are incurable.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Move auric cures to dust from steam instead.

I'd really rather not move things to dust more than we should, and I don't
really think it's a good idea to be tweaking the blanknote/earwort balance with
incurable aurics put into the picture. Only solution 1, please.

I still think it's pretty awkward to have herbs suddenly take overhaul balances.
But solution 1 is at least in better keeping with the original intent.

I support solution 1, I think 2 and 3 would create more problems than they would
solve.

Both dust and steam have some issues, but steam is probably preferable. Solution
1.

Solution 3 is terrible, and in fact, Earwort being on Dust balance is terrible.
It is because there are no Cacophony to take advantage of the dust affliction
stacking and the ease that they have in giving plague afflictions, and the
damage that it can cause. You will never cure out of plague afflictions if you
are fighting a Cacophony with earwort requiring dust balance. However, Trueblind
and deafness should be on the same balance so Glamourists don't have to chase
both balances, and I would support both being moved to Steam balance, but dear
gods please no Solution 3, and please gods fix puritydust affliction stacking.

Solution 1. 3 is crazy.
