Report #365
Skillset: Geomancy Skill: Wyrm
 Org: Geomancers Status: Completed Apr 2010
Furies' Decision:
Poison breath damage boosted
Problem: Currently, the special breath weapons for wyrms and turtles are poison
and heat damage attacks that get bonus damage over normal poison/fire
minorbreath. The problem with these is that, despite the bonus damage, they
still do less damage than psionicblast due to differences in the availability of
DMP types. Given that pyromancer/aeromancer pets were implemented with an
affliction breath weapon, I feel the admin are already somewhat aware of how
useless wyrm/turtle breaths are. This report is aimed at getting the old pets up
to par (though mostly wyrms as I see the aquas already have a report up for
turtles).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Remove the bonus damage from wyrm poison gas breath
 and make it deal an affliction instead, like the
 aeromancer/pyromancer pets. Suggestions for the
 affliction include blindness, a random contagion
 (plague) affliction, or sensitivity.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Change wyrm poison breath to 50% poison, 50%
 unblockable, which would in all likelihood ensure it
 actually giving more damage than regular
 psionicblast. Unblockable % can be fiddled with if
 it's too much or too little. Also, this fix can
 easily be applied to turtle breath too if desired.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Replace the wyrm poison breath with a beast skill
 that boosts the damage of any minorbreath, kind of
 like Aggressive. Suggested boost is 33%. This fix
 applicable to turtles if desired.
