  I play mage... one of the best in Alexina server, actually... and I even find 10 stamina per second absurd just to move with your magic skill loaded.
  
  Not worth using lol.

  From my personal experience, the stamina drain is never a problem, I can just chug down all the excess SE stamina pots from the last fishing event that I'll probably never use for anything else.
  
  The fact that I can charge elsewhere and walk with it makes life 9001x easier. I get position lag a lot, and having spellwalk would allow me to move to the orb with fireball charged while I'm a bit away from the orb. If anything should be changed, it should just be the 2x mana usage.

  spellwalk is at worst borderline op and probably is op after mage renovation given how much faster int magic is now, never mind firebolt

  
  
  What, how I don't even...

  If you have to rely on SE potions from an event just to make use of a skill, then that is a huge problem. And yes I do main a mage and have over 800 stamina at level 1. Whether my stamina was 200 or 1500, 10 stamina per second is outrageous even for situational use and not "using it 24/7".

  If those were normal potions that would easily lead to pot poisoning.

  Let me clarify what I meant.
  If I run out of stamina, I'd use my stam pots. I don't use the potions all the time just to use spellwalk. I only use spellwalk for a few seconds and then toggle it off, and not a lot of stamina is used. Most of the time that I use spellwalk, I simply need to move a tiny bit to an orb or into the attack range, which doesn't require me to pot. It's only if I have to use spellwalk constantly (in certain situations) would I need to pot.
  This doesn't seem much, but to me, being able to move even for a few seconds saves me the trouble of cancelling my magic skill only to charge it again once I get into range is amazing.
  
  Even if you use it constantly, Firebolt will work wonders with spellwalk, you can walk towards the mob that's being knockback and charge at the same time. It saves a lot of time and gives firebolt more versatility, even if you have to use a few pots.
  
  With constant use (r5 ~8/sec, with meditation on), I can still make use of spellwalk well for about a minute without the use of pots.

  What's more is that if you get knocked back, you can spellwalk and run away and charge at the same time.

  Nope. You're impeding on archer territory.

  Damage cap removed and increased range? The skill already deals 600% damage to every enemy in range.

  Meh.
  
  I would love a puppetry update that nerfs Climactic Crash and Crisis but buffs pretty much everything else.
  
  Act 1: Inciting Incident
  Damage: 200 > 350%
  Cooldown: 5 > 4 seconds
  
  Act 2: Threshold Cutter
  Damage: 200%, 200%, 300% > 300%, 300%, 600%
  
  Act 4: Rising Action
  Cooldown: 7 > 6 seconds
  
  Act 6: Crisis
  * No longer snares targets with heavy stander, any level
  * No longer snares targets if they trigger melee auto-defense
  
  Act 7: Climactic Crash
  Damage: 550% x2 > 450% x2
  
  Act 9: Invigorating Encore
  Duration: 90 > 120 seconds
  * Marionette recovers 10 health per second across the duration
  
  Colossus Marionette
  Health: 1200 > 1500
  Defense: 50 > 75
  Damage: 190 > 125
  
  Pierrot Marionette
  Health: 1200 > 800
  Defense: 50 > 25
  * Does not hinder movement speed
  
  Puppet's Snare
  Detachment Damage: 70 > 250%
  
  Wire Pull

  Why just Heavy Stander/Melee? Why not Mana Deflector and Natural Shield too?
  
  
  Also I don't see a purpose in making the two marionettes different. The point of there being two was:
  

  
  
  • So you can desummon it, do something else, then switch to the other Marionette while the previous is on cooldown.
    
  • Appearance variety.

  Isn't Archer range 1,500~2,000 though? Shuriken range is 700~1,300. Giving Guns 900-1,000 range isn't anywhere close to Shuriken/Archer range.
  
  Damage cap removed and increased range? The skill already deals 600% damage to every enemy in range.
  
  The current range is shit and 600% isn't a lot compared to 3 Shooting Rushes or a single Climactic Crash. There's not really a place where you can hit 12 enemies all at once.
  
  This might be too harsh of a nerf.
  
  Thought we all agreed that WotG is too OP. The 2x speed is already enough in my opinion.
  
  Act 2: Threshold Cutter
  Damage: 200%, 200%, 300% > 300%, 300%, 600%
  
  Speed up Pierrot animation.
  
  Act 6: Crisis
  * No longer snares targets with heavy stander, any level
  * No longer snares targets if they trigger melee auto-defense
  
  What about defense skill?
  
  Pierrot Marionette
  Health: 1200 > 800
  Defense: 50 > 25
  * Does not hinder movement speed
  
  ?? How is it any advantageous over Colossus?

  
  
  Bullet Storm:
  -[S]Damage cap removed.[/S]
  -Enemy hit cap removed.
  -Bullet cost caps at 20.
  -Cooldown lowered to 8 seconds (Tropa).
  
  Smash:
  -Splash damage increased 10% -> 50% at ranks 5-2 and 20% -> 100% at rank 1. Magnum Shot has these splash damage values.

  He left Pierrot's damage the same but made Colossus weaker.

  I think you've got the right idea with puppet, but the buffs to Act 2 seem rather too strong.
  
  Also, what do you think about Crisis rooting enemies but not re-positioning them?
• Kapra wrote on 2015-01-12 04:43

  Quote from Juno;1260861:

  Crisis rooting enemies instead of repositioning them would make Crisis useless for magic and nonpuppetry skills that rely on Crisis (like Hailstorm) but not really hinder skills with a lot of range like Climactic Crash.
  
  We want to nerf Crisis>Crash, not Crisis>Hailstorm/etc. Making crisis act like a shadow bind clone will barely annoy puppeteers but will really piss off everyone else.
  
  Edit: I hope I didn't misunderstand what you meant by rooting and repositioning.
• Juno wrote on 2015-01-12 05:06
  You got what I meant right~
  
  Isn't the range on Crisis much bigger than Climactic Crash, though? Many enemies would still be hit, but it wouldn't be all of them and they wouldn't all be hit twice.
  
  Though, if preserving the re-positioning is important, what if it didn't knock monsters down and required the puppet to stay there for the duration of the root, thereby removing the invuln frames it gives and keeping the CC element intact. Should make it better for combos with multiple people and more of a crisis skill for solo.
