"Mystical Eye" skill didn't live up to what was expected.

It doesn't "See you" in stealth, it pastes your name on a "Nearby players" (called detect sheet) and that's it. I actually thought it would allow you to see an assassin. Like the Detection Pots?

By the way, you can't click on them if they appear on the little "nearby players page (detect sheet)".

Oh and thanks to that dragoon glitch, the 25 meters doesn't matter because of 102-105 sins!


Very disappointed for real. Thought this would balance something out. I think seekers got the good end of the stick for detecting


Lets compare it into Good and Bad (kinda like a Venn Diagram)

Good:
Allows you to know who's around

Knocks stealthed characters that are your level or below

Very short cooldown (only 90 seconds)

Uses no chi

low mana consumption

no channel/cast



Bad:
Doesn't let you actually see them

If they're above your level, you're out of luck

You're predictable with the (Level up light show). They will just run away since they have 6 seconds before the massive aoe appears (only 25 meters and does not work in air)

Doesn't stick to it's name (Detect). Really just reminds me of a Detection Potion. (seriously, change the detection potions to the same mechanism as third eye then, or rename them instead of "Detection Potion".

You must have all filters off, or hold "CTRL" to knock out "ALL assassins your level or below"



Fixes:
Let it work like a detection potion (like in the theater of blood) It lets you see them for 6 seconds... you guys really think 6 seconds is alot? you won't have time to take them out, but will see their position for a quick second.

Take out the big flashy level up circle, and animate the eye instead (omg i hate that)

I think that's about it for the fixes i'd recommend.

    Ahaha. I really want to see anybody calling how the levels from goon glitch doesnt matter at all. That`s just so funny. The mystics whom glitched goons have a major advantage as they do be the only ones able to drop most sins outta stealth. And the lower sins? They arent only seen by higher sins but also get kicked outta stealth.

    Well.. that's idiotic. I thought PWI was actually trying to balance out sins but once again theres just a half-assed attempt. Knowing a sin is around you is pointless if you can't click on them.. because chances are, if they're in stealth, near you, they're going in for the kill soon anyway.

    As long as the Sin is at Mystic's level or lower and within 25 meters, the skill kicks them out of stealth.

    Did i mention that you know when they use it?

    It's a big light show. (like you've leveld up) that goes around you. They can be flying above you, and just drop down after they see that.

    Most sins that PVP on HL are at least 103, if not 104/105. There is a grand total of like three mystics on the entire server that are 103 and none are higher than that. Skill is useless for these situations.

    or make it so mystics can actually see sins? not just 'detect'?

    Detect is really pointless. Im really really disappointed in this game right now.

    Detect would be fine if it worked like a detect pot and not "oh hai, here's a pop-up box of all the people that are going to kill you in the next ten seconds".

    ok so we had to swallow the damage reduction you do to 105's when you are 101
    We swallowed that we could not detect 105's sins when we are 101
    Then all of a sudden a small "light" i the horizon that mystic in squad would make a fight against sins more "fair"
    But nooooooooooooooo the glitchers are not punished they just got another privillege

    From what I gather:

    Pop up box listing all sins within 50 meters your level or lower
    Knocks out any of those said sins within 25 meters of you

    This. Plus mystic gets a light show around them. so you got about 6 seconds to move away to safety so the mystic don't get you. If you're 102+ sin, just sit next to them, it wont do anything.


    This skill blows.

    Btw the box pops out and just gives you names of "All" sins in stealth within 50 meters. It does not tell you where they are.

    It knocks all sins within 25 meters of you out of stealth so how does that "blow?" That does more for anyone around you then a stealth pot would as the stealth pot only lets you see the sins, but now anyone sees them since they are knocked out. Not even stealth pots let 101s see 102+ sins so do those pots blow too? This skill isn't going to let you see any sin within 50 meters like a stealth pot because it's already knocking sins out of stealth that are within 25 meters of you. You can't have it both ways, and that's the balance of the skill.

    last thing u said is not entirely true....theres some stealth detection pots from maiden-kissed chests (i think its been the ones u got from buying a stack of xxx-packs), which increases ur stealth detection lv so much (dont remember the exact amount, just remember its been that way since i tested) that u can see sins YOUR OWN LV

    means if ur lv105 and eat that pot, u can see lv105 sins

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    It's BS because most sins that PVP nowadays are 105 via a glitch that is no longer available for any mystics to take advantage of. This entire thing just reeks of them trying to NOT nerf sins into the ground when they really really need to be.

    Also, they could've simply made it the same detection buff you get in Theater of Blood now that basically lets you see all sins regardless of their level.

    You mean like every wiz / mystic / psy / veno / archer / barb / bm that's 105 is also that level due to it... so again why are you complaining? You're problem isn't about the skill then just like I thought. The skill is OP and awesome.

    Why lower cap to 101? There are plenty of people that got 102 and 103 through hyper frost without goon glitch, so getting those levels is a matter of being lazy or not.

    The second part I agree with

    The problem is with the skill. The majority of pvpers on our server that are 105 are sins.(Well, the majority in general) The ones that benefit most from 105 are sins. The skill is not OP, it's not awesome, it's balanced, but only if you're 105. It's not like sins need stealth to be OP. I'm also kinda getting a bit annoyed at how many people are seriously trying to downplay the advantages of 105 anyway. It's bad enough most of the server does reduced dmg to them. :\
