Currently, if a monster is WEAK to an element, but has 6 sanctity or more, you won't be able to proc WEAK on them. This is especially true for the Volcano, which most of it's enemies should be proccing Ice weakness.. but because they have the slimmest amount of Sanctity, they don't.

It would just be nice for enemies, if they have the MONSTER tag on them, to not gain the benefits of Sanctity raising their Elemental Resistance.

Hey gamers remember when we all universally hated Explosion because it was free damage that you couldn't do much about, ignored evade, inflicted an annoying status effect (burn), and was unavoidable if the mage you were fighting went last? Which made it super good at killing dodgies, the main thing it countered?

So let's talk about Aquamancer! Specifically tentacles.

Dancing Water is, in practice, an evade-ignoring damage button that inflicts immobilize for two turns, and if you go last in the turn order, your opponent can't do SHIT FUCK ALL to stop it. Making it incredibly frustrating to deal with for dodgies, who often live and die by their mobility option.

My proposal is simple:

-Dancing Water no longer inflicts immobilize on the first round when it is summoned.

Body Guard, when activated, is not reducing extra damage from Bonus sources.

Tested with an Electric Axe smashing me upside the head for 62 damage whenever the hit prior procced Bodyguard and put me in range.

The electric axe still did 62 damage on it's crit effect.

If you are attempting to do an air combo on someone with Riposte.. If you use the attack that knocks them airborne (or yourself) and they Turn Interrupt you because they got 1 or 2 momentum from it..

You and they both fall back to the ground. Completely cancelling out and ruining any attempt at a combo.

Which, frankly, is stupid.

When disconnected from the server, the connection failed and connection closed text does not display in the new chat, and still displays in the old chat. Minor I know but it's gotten me a few times.

The cleanse provided by Cantus of Consideration when used by a Performer is.. awkward with Idol Step's Ally confusion.

Namely that Cantus of Consideration considers these 'bad' and will proceed to cleanse the charm you've given your ally, over.. Say..

Level 300 poison.

Or worse.

It's nothing major, just a pain considering the classes are supposed to synergize well and this is a point where they do not.

I, for one, have never seen a spell that dealt sound damage, meaning that Screaming Tome is only ever adding half of its Power. Not just that, but it has a stat that not many people take for its scaling. I feel letting Screamer Tome be an instrument would not just balance out the fact it doesn't have spells that match its element, but also give Bard/Mage or Bard/Curate hybrids an option for spellcasting. 

Also, since it has an unblockable Silence cure (even if rather costly), it'd synergize with bards rather well, as if memory serves not even Herons can use bard songs while silenced.

Here is a list of underwhelming weapon lines, I don't expect them all to be updated, nor do I really expect it all to happen at once, I have compiled this list of item lines that should have builds dedicate  to them that currently fall flat somewhere. Whether by introducing new items to synergize with them or by introducing potentials/straight buffs/special strikes matters not to me so long as something occurs for them.

So I will not be listing any major specifics, perhaps some personal desires and thats where it ends. I compiled the list so that it could be pulled from in case Dev wishes to update one of the weapon lines based on a whim in any following update.

List of weapon archetypes that could be targeted for a buff:

-Elemental Steal/copying line of items (Ulrenroka/Farren etc.)
--Unsure on this one, probably enhancing the base gimmick

-Dragon Swords (Narcus/Ensui/Kirosh/Setsuna)
--I think potentials would set them all right and could be cool.

-Dual Elemental Fan line (Qinglongram, Zhuluquarie, Baihurai, Xuanwuken)
--Potentials involving extra dual-element spells would be cool.

-Vampiric Line of weapons (Tenderiziers/Dagger of Bleeding/Bloody Fang etc.)
--HP sustain is fine they just need something else to make them 'build' worthy, likely additional item synergies.

-Replica type weapons (Shredder/artemis etc.)
--Potentials would be cool.

-Finishing the magical x line of weapons (Magical Star/Sun etc.)
--Invocation potentials matching each one's element, my favorite line of weapons.

-Sea Hunter line of weapons
--a shared potential among all of them, see my thread here for my original idea some time ago when I used to run these weapons. (https://neus-projects.net/forums/showthr...?tid=8231&)

-Anti-youkai line of weapons (Mythslayer/Spirit Hunter/Adversity Annihilator)
--Not many of these, could use potentials.

-Elemental Katanas that are not Raijin (Akujin/Sanjin/Kouenjin/Yukijin/Sogensara)
--Mostly need changes to make sheath sword comparable to Hisen/Raijin's counterparts. Also probably elemental scaling like Raijin has.

-Remaining 'elemental' line of weapons (Moonblade/Icebreaker/Sleigher/Evil Club/Holy Lance/Abberation Spear/Cerron Scepter)
--Potentials like Gel'naia/Eresh/Siphon/Crystal Blade all got.

-Oudated set effects (Beo+Whulf, Mugendai+Konosekai)
--These are the only two that are extremely outdated and need some form of update.

EDIT: These are underwhelming from my perspective and many, many build tests involving them over the last few years or so.

Currently, Dragon swords have a ridiculously low weight. Not even being able to 2h them proper without a huge blade, gigantic, or boulder.

Thankfully, this is not the purpose of this thread.

Can we have a Potential Skill that swaps their damage back to Slashing. Rather than uh. The element.

Mostly because they're not doing a WHOLE lot damage/effects wise to be running face first into Physical DR + Elemental DR stacking together. I say this, entirely, as a person who is running BK/DH and having to just never hunt in the Goblin Cave or fight Mushrooms because those bastards both absorb Water.

(Or just make Piercing Blade not as awful as it is with penalties/benefits and just allow it for changing to piercing with no other change.)

it is bad make it 2m -> 1m under 5bw plz

i rly want my fistiucuff swa
