Report #770
Skillset: Necroscream Skill: TortureSong
 Org: Cacophony Status: Completed Feb 2012
Furies' Decision:
We will implement solution 3.
Problem: TortureSong, along with Despairweb, in Necroscream work with web type
entanglements. They both come into play when writhing. The problem is that,
unless you have contort, using summer or tipheret is often the better cure
option. The result is that the effects from these songs could very well never
trigger on the majority of players.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Change summer and tipheret to trigger TortureSong,
 and possibly DespairWeb, as if the target had writhed.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Increase the eq time and or mana cost of summer and
 tipheret to make writhe a more desirable option.
 Especially since the magic versions free all forms of
 entanglements at once.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Have TortureSong and DespairWeb trigger on
 summer/tipheret but DespairWeb would increase mana
 cost (it currently costs 50 mana), instead of
 increased eq time.

I'm not opposed to having torturesong work with summer/tiph but I don't think it
should affect despairweb at all or should there be any changes to
summer/tipheret. Without using summer/tiph, it's very possible to keep someone
pretty much permanently entangled with hangedman/webbing. Ethelon and Narsrim
did this all the time, and the only real option is to use tiph/summer to combat
it.

What if DespairWeb was to significantly increase mana cost of summer / tiph?
---[Llandros on 2/7 @ 17:17 writes]:
I agree with you that perma web is no good. Also, these are low stanza powers
and shouldn't be pivotal in combat. I'll work in Janalon's suggestion to
solution 3.

Solution 3. Not too fancy, addresses the problem.

Fine with solution 3

Solution 3 is reasonable

Solution 3 is fine

Solution 3 (perhaps double mana cost).
