the fact that the opponent can dispell your buffs with cursed blood via simply existing is fine and all, though as it stands the negatives to cursed blood are less than punishing for the shutdown of vampiric builds and even those who don't even lean into it

-10% status resist is pretty ouchie on san or faith builds, as they may actually want to keep their resist, though for the non summoners/curates who dont build either, or even just build one, it's absolutely free, status resist can be very all or nothing at times, and the difference between 20 and 30 status res doesnt matter all too much when the current skill dumping meta sees people with 140 status infliction on average. The added bonus of lowering enemy status resist on stuff like ghost is neat for them too, so there is further reason to use it with essentially no downside there too.

A build maximising vampiric has to accept for the fact that they wont be retaining any beneficial status effects, though people who just want to use one or two items and not fully lean into vampiric also need to do this (like bards using blood flute). The worst offender here is ruler giving vampiric to other people through seal of labours, which can erase their ruler and other buffs just through hurting other enemies. 

For something that's meant to be a detriment to your blood, it's drawback of -10% status res doesn't really feel that impactful, I think the trait could retain its negative effect of dispelling buffs from vampiric sets, but in turn costing more to use, perhaps something along the lines of -5 vit or -100 or -10% max health for it's user, something that would genuinely come from cursed blood. such a downside could help with the issue of people just using it for statistical benefit due to how free it is and keep it more in line to being used by characters who's body is actually suffering from some dark force.

Applicable BYOND Key - Kurokonoha
Character Name - Mizuhiro Aoumi
Request Type - Minor Out of the Ordinary Character Appearance Change
Request Details -  A simple change regarding the character's tail. To fit a more aquatic motif, instead of the standard Wyvern spines, giving finned ridges and maybe an aquatic-esque tail tip at the end. Doesn't even have to be functional to aid in swimming
Specific Request - Namely just a more aquatic appearance, even if nonfunctional or semifunctional to the individual character's tail. If it helps, I'm gonna have him be from Meiaquar as a Tidecaller.
Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - I just thought it was a neat idea to fit a little aesthetic twist to my aquatic wyverntouched character
Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - To my knowledge, there's little to no lore on wyvern environmental evolution to support my claim (Other than maybe Ice Tyrants being Ice Wyverns? Their sprites are literally wyverns after all), but I did see something on Sea Wyverns before, but I don't know if that's fan made or not.

in boss fights bloodsoaked should make u spawn the max amount of enemies, even when solo..
should not need 3 goobers to get more jammers.

Why?
Dodge as it stands is currently not supported by a lot of different classes. This is being proposed to open up dodge to more classes. In this case, Curate. Or Priest. Either or.


The implication with these is just that Dev has asked to propose something interesting, so I intend to do that. It also creates a situation where if something is too strong that there are other ideas here to snatch from.

I don't expect more than one buff, and I don't think every class needs 3+ dodge buffs, but just something to help them.
I've also made every single option here simply 3m and 3 ranks because Curate and Priest both are hungry classes for SP.

I will be using 60 faith and 54 faith as a breakpoint for this, because 60 faith is pretty much the upper limit someone can attain 'sanely' (even Phenex and Glykin require 75 points to hit 61), and 54 faith is an upper limit for a lot of races pretty sanely (0 Faith races can hit this with 60 total)

Here's a bunch of nun stuff I comm'd. 


This is both sprite stuff and the idea was a gear piece with like 2 will / 2 faith pray restores more fp or something to act as an analogue to priest robe's default FP.

Cool.

Confused allies will be affected by Earthbound Fog even if the user of the spell is not confused, being unable to use offensive abilities if they had used Movement that turn.

It's strange it's not in there

Very simple suggestion.

Remove the restrictions on icons from the same 'category' so we can have multiple gloves/torsos/certain facial hairs/whatever.

For example: Almost all torso items cannot be used with another item in the torso category. There are some exceptions like the newer split-part torso icons, but for the most part almost all torsos share this restriction of one only.

This was a thing pre-layers and never got changed to let us fully take advantage of being able to tinker with layering for icons that could potentially work well together if they were allowed to be used in tandem (i.e. the partial gloves + gloves, various forms of facial hair).

Though the sprite system itself could use some love this doesn't seem like it'd break anything to adjust. Hopefully. Maybe. Probably. God only knows.

If it's a concern of having too many icon parts there could be a hard limit set.

I understand that Performer is supposed to be the Bard Buff class... but as it stands.

I genuinely never have a desire to use Bard songs. They cost 20 FP. They give +2 to stats (so long as I'm singing), in 5 range. And also give (Rank*2) buffs elsewise. Hit/Evade, SWA/Crit, EleAttack/CritDmg, EleRes/Crit Evade.

These all sound good on paper. Until you realize that they last 3 rounds. And the only way for them to last longer is to play Performer. And then you always have to be within 5 tiles of your allies. At all times to give more of these buffs. Which post-engagement in fight? Generally won't happen. Ever.

The only comparable thing I can even compare Bard Buffs to is Curate's Mass > Invigorate. Which costs about as much FP, but lasts 8 turns. And you can move it to target outside of a diamond 5 (or 6) on yourself.

How to try and work on Bard songs?

Make them Diamond 6 in X range, allowing you to always target yourself in them. BUT also being able to direct it so you don't always have to be the center of attention.

Furthermore, proccing the Singing Status-- or even just playing another Bard Song, will refresh the duration of ALL currently active bard song effects you have on targets that get the new song by 1-2 rounds. Allowing for it to be possible to actually keep it up. This could be kept to base class Bard songs, or be changed to also increase Bard Songs from promo classes. So a Performer can raise all of the buffs and Warmonger's Drums and help refresh their base buffs. Or a Darkbard can Pyrotechnics, Crazy Riff, etc and refresh their bard songs.

3 turns for a buff like that is straight up something I so rarely use that I only have it used whenever I proc Dawr of Defense whenever I Unholy Diver. It's genuinely awful.

Second Set is awful. It's awful to use. It's awful to actually get up and running. It takes 15 turns baseline if you're double-dipping every turn, or 30 if you're only using 1 bard song a turn, and you end up doing 300 damage to your team to heal 450 with some very weak buffs. I suggest Second Set have a 50 HP base heal, with 3 hp restored for every Dark Hype. Putting a full 300 Hype at 950 HP restored (which, in actuality) is 650 hp. Is this a lot? Yeah. It is. Is it very rewarding for surviving a long ass fight and getting to max hype? Yeah. It's literally Hype. Priests can get 2 malmelo's in that timeframe and not have to hurt their teammates to get that. Curates can get 4-9 grafts off in that time too without hurting their allies. If this is too much of a buff? Make it 2 per 1 hype (max heal is 350 hp), and change one of the effects on Dark Hype (200? 250?) to also heal targets from 0 HP and get them back to the field without the Badly Beaten debuff.

tl;dr
Bard Songs should have 6 diamond in X range
Bard Songs should refresh the Base Class Bard Song status durations.
Second Set feels bad for everyone. Cherry Blossom does it's job 3 times better whilst also hurting your enemies. Please change Second Set.

Please. I'm begging you.

Edit: Not all of these changes should be implemented at once. And Second Set's Shitton of Changes definitely should not be viewed as something you put in all at once. Just turning it from a button that you press on C/D for 150~200 hp heal into something you actually want to build up.
