Change Sage Spark to something useful

samasalao

Sage spark needs ot be changed, while demons get a godly -channeling or +attack speed, sages in comparison get a rather useless dmg reduction that is much weaker than it should be and does not counter demon ungodly spark as it should. These are my suggestions:

1. DMG reduced to 50% instead of 25%.

2. Restore 50% of your max hp over 15 seconds.

3. 50% chances of costing 1 spark and half instead of 3.

4. Same as demon, -chan or -attack speed.

5. All damage dealed increased by 15%

We need something to compete with demon spark tremendous DMG increase, as it is right now sage spark is no contest to demon spark, also change its color to GOLD or something, as it is right now it looks quite similar to double spark unlike the cool demon red aura spark (IMO double spark looks cooler as it gives a cool aura to the weapon while sage one does not).

i luledb:laugh especially at the 50% chance to cast with only 1 spark..

OP much?

there are differences for a reason and more so it depends on the class and how you play your class.

i for one have no issue with the sage spark and what it does, at least from a cleric stand point.

... Then don't go sage... Did u by chance didn't read skill descriptions before u chose a culti? & now QQing? I love my sage spark both on my barb & cleric. Saved my hide lots of times.

Decent enough suggestion. Not too OP but 25% damage reduction isn't bad.

2. Restore 50% of your max hp over 15 seconds.
Would this be on top of or replacing the 20% triple spark already gives? 20% HP at once in addition to 50% over 15 seconds is a bit...

3. 50% chances of costing 1 spark and half instead of 3.
No.

4. Same as demon, -chan or -attack speed.
Wait, you want sage spark to be the same as demon spark but better?

5. All damage dealed increased by 15%
I'm confused.

The only classes which get a 'huge damage increase' by going demon instead of sage are fist BMs and archers (probably sins too now). For the other classes, both paths are pretty balanced. Obviously people on both sides will argue why the path they chose is better (or why they regret their choice) but the fact that they are debating which path is better shows it's (at least somewhat) balanced.

well i do agree about the color, it does look pretty similar to normal sparks.

Could go with a Whiteish-gold. Or keep the color the same and make normal sparks darker blue.

Anywho i r demon, i wub my color

Vorhs - Lost City

i dont agree, cause sage is also enough OP for the 50-chi free each min

its good that the 2 common skills between players are balanced like they are

sage: 50chi each min (great) spark with 25% dmg reduction (not bad)
demon: 50chi steal (not bad) spark with -chann or +att speed (great)

Sage already is useful I think a 900% increase in magic damage is great compared to the demon 700%

Both sage and demon spark have the same % increased attack

its 500% PHYSICAL attack and
700% Magic attack

Edit : Sage veno celestial spark does say 900% increase.. but clerics and wizards get 700%
