Report #1392
Skillset: Aquachemantics Skill: Bubbling/Humid
 Org: Cantors Status: Completed Nov 2015
Furies' Decision:
Sol. 1
Problem: During the overhaul affliction condensation process, Aquachem had its
vapors affliction mist (Humid) changed into recklessness. However, this is
identical to the pre-existing Bubbling mist - leading to the awkward situation
where Aquachem will afflict with recklessness twice when the mists are raised
and/or synced when raising simultaneously. This report aims to address this
issue through replacing the Humid mist's recklessness with one of the following
in order to reverse the duplicity.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Replace Humid's effect with paranoia ('paranoid.')
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Replace Humid's effect with epilepsy ('suffering from
 epilepsy.')
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Replace Humid's effect with 2s blackout (slightly
 longer duration in exchange for the previous removal
 of the recurring vapors tick). In addition, have the
 mist hit first in the stack when aligned by expelling
 all.

Why not have Humid affect with blackout?

I remember when aquachem was released, excessive blackout was raised as a
concern on the forums. I cannot recall if the concerns raised then were answered
or addressed, and I think it is a great chance to change the humid mist to do
something that actually contributes in an affliction or damaging manner for the
aquachem, rather than just plasting on a bandaid to replace vapours with more of
the same, except longer. Either solution 1 or 2 has my support, but if possible,
not solution 3, please.

My impression was that the passive blackout was necessary to the majority of
strategies for aquachems, in as much as that's possible with a chem. If that's
not the case, then carry on.

I never understood why vapours was not just replaced with a short blackout. I'm
alright with reinstating a short blackout for Humid.

I would like to confirm with the admins if blackout timers have been
standardized across the board outside of memoryloss, as inquired by Enyalida
over the envoy aether. Thanks!

We really shouldn't be promoting incurable affs as the cornerstone of an
offense. 1 or 2 is fine.

Solution 1 or 2 is fine. No to solution 3.
---[Jaamil on 11/12 @ 00:58 writes]:
I am fine with solution 3, as its not that big of a deal or that debilitating of
an affliction that only lasts an extremely short duration like a stun.

Solution 1 or 2, either or. I agree with Shuyin in regards to 3.
