Report #108
Skillset: Necroscream Skill: CarillonKnell
 Org: Cacophony Status: Completed Dec 2008
Furies' Decision:
The damage will be adjusted, though not as solution 1 specifies.
Problem: Currently, CarillonKnell is a passive damage song that does about 100
damage per plague affliction a target is afflicted with when hte song ticks.
With the ease of curing Plague Afflictions and the low end damage of this song,
the use of it is very minor compared to some of the passive damage songs of the
other guilds.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Adjust the damage: 300 base damage from song with a
 2% increase in damage per plague affliction (% based
 off max health).

Agree that CarillonKnell is pretty pitiful right now

300 base with a small damage increase based on max health for each additional
plague affliction is good.

Agreed that a %-based consideration for damage calculation would be fair.
However, it seems odd that the skill is purely fixed damage, and, if so, is a
number that small. Has thorough testing been done to verify that it really is
this way?

Passives can get out of hand very quickly. My suggestion is to keep the current
formula but just put in code that if the damage is below 250 do 250 (I realize
the suggestion is 300). Then monitor change and see if it really needs
additional adjustment.
