Cylinder Egos...

[Tropa]

Ok, me and a Friend did some talking and we think its stupid that all Ego cylinders have the same exact stat growth and only have 5% critical.

Devcat wasn't thinking to well when they made these... really.

And I made a mistake when I ego'd a Tidalwave cylinder, My current and future tidal will always be better in terms of Damage/Critical, same with Upgraded Volcanoes.
Earthquakes and Clay cylinders don't effect Golems and Hurricane/Winds don't effect Frozenblast Time/duration.

what ego cylinders should of been:

Tidalwave/Water Cylinders:
Water damage % (Str)
Alchemy Efficiency % (Int)
Critical Damage (Dex)
Dura (Will)
Critical Gain (Luck)

Volcano/Fire Cylinders:
Fire damage % (Str)
Alchemy Efficiency % (Int)
Critical Damage (Dex)
Dura (Will)
Critical Gain (Luck)

Hurricane/Wind Cylinders:
Wind damage % (Str)
Alchemy Efficiency % (Int)
Critical Damage (Dex)
Dura (Will)
Critical Gain (Luck)

Earthquake/Clay Cylinders:
Clay damage % (Str)
Alchemy Efficiency % (Int)
Critical Damage (Dex)
Dura (Will)
Critical Gain (Luck)

Normal/Tower Cylinders:
Alchemy damage % (Str)
Alchemy effects % (Int)
Critical Damage (Dex)
Dura (Will)
Critical Gain (Luck)

Of course the normal cylinders would have a lower damage/effects compared to it's elemntal relatives, but still be pretty balanced out.

The Spirit awakenings should also be different for each element, Water, Fire, Wind, Earth and beams of light for Normal/Tower.


same with Current new and old Wands... They need work too.

Yes, this please.

The only reason they brought out cylinder ego's was to appease alchemists in my opinion (which may be completely wrong since it's fresh from my butt 8D) but yeah, they definitly weren't thought out. No reason to ego a cylinder right now besides the awakening.

I agree. and I think we have said it time and again, egos are fairly useless as a whole group. They need a total revamp.

Sword/Blunt egos are infinitely better than any upgraded counterpart, bow egos can sorta at least maybe match their upgraded weapon counterparts.

The only ones that are fairly useless are wand/cylinder really.

Sword/Blunt/Axe (despite francisca's using blunt spirits :U)

And honestly they're only terribly useful towards late game, once you've pumped enough money in it to buy a nuadha set. P:

Blunts are but I think you can make an argument on swords. Ringbow is somewhat good but even you don't use that most of the time. you use HLB upgraded.

elsnore and a focused beam are pretty much just as good as an ego, even a non focused is very close.

I agree. They really should of worked out some unique awakenings for the other elements instead of a straight copy pasta for all of them.

Once you do get them that far you're no longer nexon's bitch with repair pots and enchant pots, etc. If only ego reforges were fixed...

You cannot make very strong arguments for swords really.

The difference in damage between Battle Sword and maxed ego is too large, far surpassing the 42% potential critical damage in terms of average damage.

Focused Beams are terrible when paired with elsinore in terms of stun time, you should only really pair them with ego or battle sword... and Caladbolg is lower damage than either + random thunder that gets you multi'd in harder places + agonizing repairs.

Also, the reason I use upgraded HLB is because until they fix ego reforges, my HLB not only is stronger on criticals it is also stronger on non-criticals due to elemental reforge. If ego reforges were fixed, ring bow ego is all I'd use every day all day.

Egoes in general need a buff or revamp
