Fast Arti Bolts
A variant of Artificer's Flame Bolts, reworked slightly to scale with attack speed (like Merc's and Commando's R's)
Overview:
- You start out shooting two firebolts with each use
- Firebolt damage and proc coefficient are halved
- The more attack speed you have, the more fast firebolts you'll shoot
- Attack speed no longer increases the speed of the attack animation
Notes:
- Starting out, the two firebolts combined will have the same damage output as the one vanilla firebolt
- If you have high enough attack speed and you're shooting firebolts faster than the framerate, they will double spawn on top of each other
- Idea half stolen from
K'Not Devourer of Worlds on the modding discord, who proposed to have firebolt damage scale with attack speed
Reach out to me on discord TheTimesweeper#5727 if you have any horrible crashes or other issues I didn't catch. I'd love to hear feedback on how it works/feels.
Things I'd like to do:
- It's not easy to tell if you're shooting more firebolts. I'd like to communicate this somehow
- rebrand this as a new element (wind?). Instead of igniting when it lands, it'll slice in a small area for a couple quick hits (which can proc).
- or at least make it look a little different
- properly graph out its damage over time and how attack speed increase affects damage and procs to really balance it
I don't think I'll be dedicating more time on it past this. If there are issues, I will definitely fix them. Also if any folks have any feedback and would like me to expand on this I'll probably continue. Until then, thanks for reading and have a lovely evening c:
