Report #66
Skillset: Tarot Skill: Aeon
 Org: Cantors Status: Completed Oct 2008
Furies' Decision:
We will go with solution 1.
Problem: Aeon fling being capped(4sec) is really not necessary. Not only does it
typically require two flings (over 8sec balance loss) to get an affliction that
takes at most 2sec to heal, you also need to fling it twice in succession
otherwise quicksilver will fire(speed defense stripping triggers another
quicksilver sip) wasting the previous fling. Moondancers does not have this cap,
and even at 'normal' speed, aeon doest seem to be overpowering. Considering that
tarots is mostly a utility skill, handicapping one of the few
offensive/hindering card it has seems to be unfair
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Remove cap and treat aeon as just another fling
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Lower cap and make aeon fling a little faster - 3.5s.
 At least if you get something like stunned in-between
 flings you still have a small chance of getting aeon

This seems fair - there's no huge need for tarot aeon to be slower than waning.

I'd like to express my support for Solution 1 over Solution 2, because Solution
2 isn't really addressing the actual problem. Regardless of how fast aeon's base
time is, it should be affected by racial balance/celerity/hyperactive and the
whole list of things that would and do affect waning

I don't support this change. Aeon tarot being at 4 seconds is fine. It is -not-
faster than waning. Waning is 4 seconds as well, so saying that it is slower
than waning is wrong. Aeon is a powerful affliction and with proper setup, it
can be difficult to cure.

I think the main intention here is to remove the 4 second cap of aeon so it
works just like waning already does. Nezha never says waning is faster, just
that it has the potential to be faster (because racial bonuses, celerity, etc,
work with it)

Ceren is right. When I was an MD, waning was faster as a furrikin than it was as
a human or elfen (and it was slower than 4s as a human, actually). Apparently
this isn't the same for tarot.

Removing the cap is fine given that speeds have been adjusted already, now it's
unnecessary
