A new thrower gun that's a supersoaker!

Attacks in a cone ala firthrower, inflicting soaked on hit for 3 rounds.

It could even come with a potential skill to spray yourself for 1-2m, applying soaked, curing or reducing burn, and extinguishing cinders on your own tile. (A way for theno to get their soaked buff!)

Aquatic scaling would make the most sense, 70% GUI + 40% VIT, possibly the tool tag if soaked in an area seems too powerful.

So, uh, the abilities given by Chimera Mutations don't use weapon hit, which means they can lose a massive amount of hit when using them. My chimera using starlight gaze vs basic attack gets 215 hit vs 240 hit, which is especially fucked for starlight gaze because it's explicitly an anti-dodgie tool by effect.

Not using the weapon means they likely miss a bunch of other synergies, too!

Since Youkai Evokes recently got that much-needed weapon hit boost, and pretty much every other racial attack is either an evade ignore (wyverntouched bite), just uses the weapon (amalgama spells), or has their own 'bare fist' type weapon (oni bite), it's definitely worth taking a look at Chimera abilities.

Combination Strike from Martial Artist is not giving a full 15% damage increase to moves but hovers inbetween 11 to 13% instead. Tested on Prinny in both testing server and live server on G6.

Applicable BYOND Key - Vibe Sheep

Character Name - Jun Zhang

Request Type - Special RP Ability Request - Shin (True) Ki Awoken

Request Details -  Shin Ki Awoken is a forbidden technique passed from generation through generation by the most experienced monk, often titled 'Shifu' (Master) in the Sanctuary of Lost Minds. It's a technique refined for centuries, ever since the creation of the Sanctuary and the formation of the sect that is known as Sanctuary Monks. Due to the dangers the technique posing, and misuse/overuse of such technique may bring severe consequences, only specifically selected monks, judged by their experience and mind are able to use it, requiring years, sometimes decades to master and push its limits.

It uses the same principles and teachings of the normal Ki Awoken, but with a few changes. The body must always be in a healthy state, in form and the mind must always be found in equilibrium, where neither positive nor negative is heavier than the other. A difficult technique to master and is still in development to break its limits.

- Pros

• Compared to the normal Ki Awoken, Shin Ki Awoken in turn increases all parameters by five times, including Strength, Stamina, Speed and Endurance.
  
• It increases the generation of ki by the same amount, allowing the user to use more ki for enhanced versions of ki attacks, increasing in size and destruction.
  

• The technique requires many years, sometimes decades to master, due to its dangerous nature. 
  
• The duration that an user can stay varies, Jun, for example, can only stay in the Shin Ki Awoken form for about ten minutes.
  
• Like Ki Awoken, the self-destructive nature is well known, often ramping in internal and external damages to the user as time progresses, enduring pain is required for any user of this technique. The natural healing of the body, as well as external healing methods is rendered useless while it is activated.
  
• After the duration is over, the user is rendered crippled, the pain becoming unbearable to the point of requiring medical aid immediately afterwards.The circulation of ki stops for many weeks, as the user requires specific treatments such as acupuncture and many more in order to have a full recovery.
  

The new dark shield is still consuming all void energy on use instead of 15.

Bows are, in general, pretty awful right now. Their SWA is generally low, barring the Handshot,Filcherbird, and Kraken's Sigh.

They're barely cresting 100~110 SWA, and most of that is due to the fact that bows just.. aren't able to pack much of a punch because they're pure STR weapons, that also require GUI (long range penalty), and also require SKI to hit, and most bows will require a secondary stat that is going to usually have 40 scaled.

I've got a few ideas, mostly adjusting the base range Farshot Penalty, dropping it lower for Bows in general so that they can hit distant targets without dropping 60+ invested gui.

The other thing I'm wanting to see, and was curious about, was 'how does lowering each bow's STR scaling down by 30%, and adding 40% SKI do?' With exceptions not to be applied to the Crossbow and the Howling Handshot. Got the numbers for that down below. Most bows saw a 10~13 SWA increase, which put them onto an actual viable level. The stats assumed here are 54 scaled STR, 60 scaled ski/cel, and 40 in every other stat (for the purposes of a 'secondary' damage stat). No weapon parts/upgrade levels/qualities/enchantments were involved. 

Does this really solve the issue of 'God damnit Handshot.' ? No not really, as it still puts the Handshot at 119 SWA when 2-handing, but it at least brings other bows up to a somewhat competent level that they aren't struggling to breach 110 SWA with everything available to them.

Engineer's MAP is such that dropping machines on it just blocks you in. Even just one bot severely limits you- and 3 or 4 is unplayable, with you getting literally trapped unless you teleport out or move your bots out the way, abandoning the whole thing. I'm not sure if this is just an ancient bug but if it's not, I don't see a use for how it is. It would be very fun to assemble a proper MAP and be able to move around.

Having all your machines with you while providing a bigger target for AOEs or watching in horror as someone pulling shots your metalaegis away would be a very fun way to play Engineer. I beg for this to get fixed, as right now it's not utilized at all.
