Impure Element has needed to die for a long, long time.

Elemental Attack Stacking has as well. Personally speaking, Luminary Element should just be changed to thus.

WIL now boosts your starsign's Elemental Attack as if your scaled WIL was that stat (So 60 WIL = 60 Lightning Attack for a Lightning Starsign). Furthermore, it no longer reduces the +1 per 4 wil. So having 60 scaled will is actually 75 lightning attack. This is moreeeee than fine.

Apologies if I'm reading this wrong- please correct me if so. But wouldn't your suggestion be a discount compared to how it currently works?

The math I'm using would be using Meiaquarise as the race, with Kash Ic. Having 70 WIL gives 60 scaled WIL. With how it works right now, you'd need 75 unscaled WIL, leading to a five-point discount.

At lower stat points this still takes effect; having 51 WIL gives 50 scaled WIL. With the current Luminary Element, you'd have 51 elemental attack, but with your suggestion you'd have 62.

Basically, at almost all stat levels it'd be a boost for it to change in such a way.

"At almost all stat levels" isn't the problem. 70 WIL giving 60 scaled will would give you 75 ele attack, in this instance. Which is a normal amount of elemental attack. A fine elemental attack, even.

The problem as it is right now is the extremes. People hard-dumping so much WIL that they have 110 unscaled WIL (which is.. like 64 scaled WIL).. but that 110 unscaled WIL is now 110 Elemental Attack.  And if they chug WIL pots, they get an extra +50% or so.. etc etc etc.

I explained it in DMs, bcz I don't wanna out Lolzy's like. Build. But they have 133 unscaled WIL (69.7 scaled).. and 235 Lightning Attack. Utilizing this EXACT scenario situation, they would lose 133 Lightning attack (Putting them at 102 Lightning Attack. Which is nutty without any stat investment but I'm Not Going To Talk About That Right Now). They would get 69 Lightning Attack from the SCALED WIL. Then 17 Lightning attack from 68 Scaled WIL (1 ele attack per 4). Which would turn that into... 86 lightning attack instead of.. 133.


In extreme cases, this is chunking a LOT of elemental attack. In Not-So-Extreme cases, it allows a character concept to flourish like.. A Dark Bard that doesn't want to build Strength for Fire Attack can now instead build WIL.

The only issue here is that there would be no downside at all to Luminary Element anymore, when the downside should still be present, though lesser, such as 1 ele ATK per 8 scaled WIL instead of 4. Given that Luminary Element would effectively become a free trait to pick up for whatever alternate element you want alongside everything else.
