  [SPOILER="Potion changes:"]Potions now can only recover so much of hp/mp/sp before they not only start recovering less, but also start harming your stats!
  Health potions may only heal a total of 150% of your hp within a set amount of time before you’ll start to tank stat wise. To see how much you have left, an exact number will be shown when hovering over your HP/SP/MP bar in the character screen, in game, or when hovering over a potion. Example, 100hp. You can heal up to 150hp before you start to get potion poisoned. Your numbers would be 0/150, and if you took an hp10 potion, they’d be 10/150. The number goes down by 1 per 15 seconds.
  Stamina potions may only heal a total of 200% of your sp.
  Mana potions may only heal 200% of your mp.[/SPOILER]
  
  [SPOILER="Potion Lore Changes:"]Potion lore does NOT increase the amount you may heal. It does change the recovery time however. From 15 second, to 10 seconds at rank 1. Potion lore no longer has ‘critical’ potion drinking, but instead will allow you to make better potions with potion making using 1-2 extra ingredients. Aka, SE and RE potions. They still contribute to potion poisoning by the normal amount their potion would recover for, but recover ‘extra’ that isn’t added to the counter. A MP 50SE would recover 50, changing the counter to 50/x, but also recover another 50 that will not add to the counter.
  Think of SE potions as 2x the normal effect of the potion now, while RE are 2.5x the normal effect of the potion.
  Events no longer spew out SE and RE potions as a result. (Also, I’m sorry if I got these two mixed up. I forget which one is the better one currently. Sorry.)
  Potion lore is no longer trained by drinking potions mainly. That’s still a part of it, but making potions is a large part of it now, specifically the special potions, but they are never required to make.
  SE and RE versions of the mixed potions are now added to the list.
  New potion that cuts the current potion counter by 50%, has a 1 hour cooldown.
  HP, SP, MP potions now have a 1.5 second cooldown.
  Wound potions have no cooldown and do not contribute to pot poisoning but now heal less wounds overall, starting at 5 and going to 50.[/SPOILER]
  
  [SPOILER="New Skill: Potion Toss"]Cooldown of 30 seconds. Allows you to toss a potion at an ally that will recover their hp, sp, or mp (depending on the potion) and only fill up their counter by half of what it normally would.
  When using this skill, the selected potion used will tell you the targets current counter when you mouse over them. Rank F can only use normal HP10s, rank 1 can use all potions, SE and RE.
  
  Drinking a potion or being hit with one will not raise your potion poison counter unless it actually recovers something.
  Potion poison from health potions now makes you take increased dmg the deeper you go.
  Potion poison from mana potions reduces your int.
  Potion poison from stamina potions reduces your str and dex.
  All potion poison types reduce will slightly.[/SPOILER]
  
  [SPOILER="Healing changes:"]Healing: No longer uses as much stamina to heal yourself. It’s now less. Instead of being the same amount healed, it’s not half.
  Both healing skills will have their range increased:
  Healing: 1000 -> 1100 -> 1500 with wand.
  Party Healing: 1000 -> 1500.
  Magic mastery now effects healing and party healing a little.
  Healing a pet now heals 10% more.
  Mending a pets wounds now recovers 10% more.[/SPOILER]
  
  [SPOILER="Random monster thing"]Was going to do monster AI changes, but I already did that in the past. I think I’ve also done this but…going to do it again anyway.
  Monster title: The sleepless. Monsters with this title cannot be put to sleep by any means.
  Monster title: Like water. Monsters with this title cannot be stunned by pet summon effects as well as don’t take dmg from them.[/SPOILER]

  On healing: Healing is only relevant when damage inflicted is high enough to be a threat, but also heavily attritional and hard to mitigate. So Girgashiy (Poison, Confinement, and Mineral Hail all inflict % max health true damage), and White Dragon (Wyvern spam, mass mobs, etc). Nerfing potions won't fix that, it'll just make the content that healing can't handle more frustrating.
  
  Healing is a content problem (we need more stuff that makes healing important) not nerf potion sustain.

  One could argue that we need both, as with an endless supply of potions from events and it being very easy to farm 100s in SMs, there's less point for any healing when it can be done instantly with the press of a button. Why wait a few seconds for around 100-200hp heal, when you can hit the H key two times and not use up mana/require someone else to use up mana.

  Quote from TheDarkPaladin;1290027:

  why bother with healing when clouds heal 150 to every one in the party within an area, shield of trust's healing hands can heal up to 210 hp every 40 seconds(every 20 seconds come g20), life drain heals up to 450 hp at r1, fantastic chorus heals hp per second(along with mp and stam too), and with potion lore you can basically use potions endlessly?

  
  
  Self-Healing spell was never a good option due to high resource consumptions, and Healing Hands and Fantastic Chorus are slower (though more mana reservative) than Party Healing and HH only heals up to two other people. The rest are just ugh.

  Honestly, the same could be said about Inspiration. But this is about potions so I won't talk about that.
  I agree that potions should be nerfed to a degree. Even with a finite supply, potions aren't exactly difficult to come across and potion poisoning's pretty uncommon. Healers don't exactly offer much as what is said above, and the fact that healers are prone to getting hit means losing precious time and mana. There's really not much of a reason to fall back on healing outside of a few situations.

  • If you only have two characters sharing a Homestead, one is level 11 and one is level 7. The homestead will be as big as level 11, and you can place level 11 items in the homestead, but they will not function (for either character), until both characters are at least level 11.

  [SPOILER="Just ideas and shit."]Weapons:
  For melee, things are a tad odd and always have been, favoring one thing over the other.
  
  Swords: These should be balanced with medium dmg and not much between the min and the max with good balance. Their smash should deal the bleed DoT sometimes but nowhere near as strong as it is now.
  
  Axes: Their dmg should be similar to swords but slightly less dmg. These should be like very low grade lances in that they ignore some defense and protection. Their smash should still lower def and prot as it does now.
  
  Blunts: These should have decently higher max dmg but much greater lower dmg and a balance cap of 50% while using them. Their smash should work much more often with a very slight chance to stun a mob for around a second or less.
  
  Lances: Should have their def and prot ignoring as they do now, but scaled back a bit and have their min range increased slightly but also increase their max range slightly as well. Also, lance normal attack takes priority over normal attack with any other melee weapon or fists. There’s no reason for a shadow wizard to be able to punch you from max distance and have to run up to finish attacking you.
  
  Knuckles: I don’t really know what to say about them. I think they’re fine, maybe make them even slightly faster or increase their stun ever so slightly.
  
  Wands: The chain cast upgrade really ruins using anything but firebolt honestly… They changed up Ice bolt and lightning bolt slightly with one of their updates a while back, but it’s still firebolt > all else. So...That upgrade needs a greater cost, and I’m not talking gold either.
  
  Fire elemental wands chaincast:
  +1 adds an extra 3% mana cost.
  +2 adds an extra 6% mana cost.
  +3 adds an extra 9% mana cost.
  +4 adds an extra 12% mana cost.
  This is only to the active chain casted bolt.
  
  Ice elemental wands chaincast:
  +1 adds an extra .5% mana cost.
  +2 adds an extra 1% mana cost.
  +3 adds an extra 1.5% mana cost.
  +4 adds an extra 2% mana cost.
  
  Lightning elemental wands chaincast:
  +1 adds an extra 1% mana cost.
  +2 adds an extra 2.5% mana cost.
  +3 adds an extra 3.5% mana cost.
  +4 adds an extra 5% mana cost.
  
  For the wand that adds all cc, each spell will use the appropriate amount from the table.
  Wands also fall behind in that they’re good for using a shield or book with...but that’s it. CC firewand is the real only reason to use them. Staves get adv magic and newer ones can use int magic without needing to charge up. So… Wands get a base 2-5% speed cast, depending on grade. Ones crafted can get all the way to 8% base. Store-bought ones have 2%, drops have 2-5%.
  
  I’d love to also see spell books be a thing besides the massive MP boost and whatnot. I don’t really know what they’d do as I don’t really want to see a new magic skill set based around tomes…Okay I sorta do, but they could change up base bolt spells a bit or something other than MP buff and mp reduction.
  
  Staves: Should have a base 1-5% magic dmg buff but also a 2-3% mp use increase. Regardless of the dmg buff. Just to give them an increase.
  Magic spells in general besides the bolts, need some sort of change up and rebalance, as well as the elemental weakness system.
  
  The same can be said for alchemy and the tower cylinder.
  
  As for alchemy elements, they should be somewhat added to the table as their own thing. Wind, earth, water, with fire still being…well…fire.
  Wind should deal slightly more dmg to things weak to lightning.
  Earth should deal slightly more to things weak to fire.
  Water should deal slightly more to things weak to ice.
  Fire is still fire..so..yeah.
  
  Bard skills need a slight rework and so do the old bard magic scrolls to be back in the game.
  
  Potions need a nerf and to be made more valuable but not overpowering. (Already done one for this.)
  
  Fighter skills need a slight buff I think.
  
  Gunner needs a small rework.
  
  Puppet needs some change ups.
  
  Life skills and the durability system in general need a touch up. Such as changing it from small numbers with hidden large numbers to just large numbers, allowing for more change in your durability, both with crafting, finding, and repairing.
  
  Reduce the amount of stats given from skills if only because we have the talent system to now give us those stats. This being a slight nerf to the player but nothing that should really hurt anyone.
  
  Rebalance reforges and add free versions of them to the game that aren’t complete shit but are rewards from stuff.
  
  AI changes so mobs don’t run around with their entire weapon up their ass in a daze of cluelessness. Also not making them adv heavy rush down. It shouldn’t be too hard to make an AI that isn’t piss…
  
  Pet buffs and changes, and I don’t just mean the new skill coming out for that.
  
  Still need that dungeon revamp like 2 fucking years ago.
  
  Expand on Iria some more as it’s still kind of pointless to be in most locations…ever.
  
  Flight maps for older maps. Tropa and/or Rydian already showed us how piss easy it would be to do this. Like, extremely piss easy.
  
  Fucking Ego weapon overhaul finally.
  
  
  Idk what else to put. I’m mainly putting all this down atm as a way to calm myself down over some things. Sorry.[/SPOILER]

  Would be nice if Fighter skill animations sped up in accordance to how much will you have. (Have like 80 will? Animations would be the same. Have 300? Somersault kick would be a second or so faster.)
  
  There needs to be more incentive to use shields with wands, and Staves should be allowed spellbooks but not shields. Spellbooks should be craftable. (Tailoring? Magic craft? Maybe one talent makes the ingredients for the other?)
  
  I was once against nerfing stats and/or skills but I've changed my mind on that, and wouldn't mind stats from skills being reduced. Would also like them to add more residual stats, like a melee skill that gives dex, an archery skill that gives int. But not a significant amount.
  
  I don't think potions need a nerf, nerfing potions would just make things more annoying. You don't want to force people to use a healer, you want to make healers more convenient and necessary. Healing isn't obsolete, I can have a healer for any difficult mission right now. The problem is, that person could have his time better spent fighting and I'd just spend my efforts on potions instead. You need to make be a healer not being a waste of someone who could be fighting.
  
  I don't really see why chaincasting needs an MP crutch. Plus nerfing upgrades won't effect existing weapons, like nerfing enchants would. So then there'd be two versions of Fire Wands on the market with the same name, leading to more opportunities for scamming and confusion to newbies.
  
  Your Axe idea doesn't sound significant enough.
  
  Chaincast lightning bolt needs to be rethought out.Keep the same general idea but make it more significant, cuz just adding a 50% damage boost at 5 charges doesn't really do anything, especially cuz 4 charges is still just as weak as ever. Maybe add something like "there is a 30% chance that a monster hit with multicasted lightning will get the "Conduction 2/3/4/5" status. If you attacked an enemy with 4 charges of lightning bolt, and it or a monster around it gained the "Conduction 4" status which appears above its head, then attacking that enemy with a single charge of Lightning Bolt will make the attack spread to 3 other enemies around it, in addition to how many charges you already have."
  
  The ideas of elements in alchemy needs to be dropped in my opinion. "OH I AM SO PRO WIND ALCH!" Yea well that doesn't really work. You're not just gonna spam Water Cannon as a Water Alchemist, you shouldn't be limited your skillset and encouraging specialization within a skillset that already has a lot of different skills that don't group together well.
  
  There should be more Knuckle-exclusive skills that aren't Chain Skills. General skills to be used inbetween cooldowns that aren't as strong as Chain Skills but don't knock back the enemy like Smash does. Fighter is a skillset where you almost never want to knockback, instead, you want to stun then tumble away.
  
  Some items could stand to become infinite durability (Pianos, Harps (not Lyres), Spellbooks).
  
  New items that come out shouldn't be stronger with more expensive dur. They should be slightly weaker but with really reasonable dur. Stop trying to top demonic weapon damage, I don't care how much stronger something is from demonic if its EVEN MORE expensive than demonic. I'm already not even considering demonic cuz its too expensive to repair.
  
  Newer equipment could use talent restrictions that encourage hybridzation. Especially merlin knuckles, those should've had a Fighter and Magic talent restriction.
  
  Iria doesn't need even more attention than it has already gotten. It got its second chance.
  
  Equipment could stand to be more replaceable, example idea here.
  
  There should be more bard attack skills that encourage keeping your instrument equipped, but not adding a penalty to existing bard skills for unequipping an instrument.
  
  Add an ability (that is gained either by stats or ranking a new skill or existing skills), that lets you walk with most music skills.
  
  Allow you to use the Bard Charity box while walking, and automatically pick up gold off the floor around it.
  
  Microphones need to be rethought.
  
  Each life skill needs to be heavily rethought on its own basis.
  In my opinion, all of handicraft's recipes should be allocated to other skills and handicraft should be COMPLETELY scrapped or given an entirely different purpose. Only handicraft recipe that doesn't make more sense in another skill is Paper Crane making, and that can just be turned into an action to be honest.
  
  Homestead's farming system should be merged with the Taillteann farming system, and actually add the reward crops as ingredients you can use (similar to the scrapped Potion Making skill devcat made).
  
  More potions should be made that are used as crafting ingredients (Cooking Potion, Baby Potions) and/or on items (as a use it on an item, it permanently has it). Nobody likes consumable buffs, or we'd all be doing cooking in every game it exists in.
  
  New talent, Hunter talent. Transformation Mastery and Taming Wild Animals moved here. Transformation Mastery is renamed Shapeshifting. I had other ideas for this talent (which would include the hunting journal), but I'd get to that some other time.
  
  Adventure talent renamed Exploration talent. Rest, Campfire, and Artifact Investivation's icons changed to match Exploration Mastery's icon's background.
  
  Fishing moved to Cooking talent (where all the other food-related gathering skills are).
  
  Emergency Escape moved to Close Combat talent.
  
  Treasure Hunter talent can go f itself cuz I don't care about Hero talents and won't let Hero talents stand as an obstacle against what needs to be done.
  
  Something needs to be done in regards to woodcutting and carpentry because right now, carpentry makes trees obsolete.
  
  Combat talent needs to separate into the Basics talent and the Melee talent. Basics would include armor masteries, critical hit, defense, evasion, taunt, emergency escape. Critical hit will no longer be in the Archery talent.
  
  Combat tab split into three tabs, Basics, Melee, Archery.
  
  Wine Making needs to get its act together or jsut be removed as a skill because right now all it does is give Int.
  
  Pharmacy talent renamed Thaumaturgy Talent, and now have Shyllien Ecology and Magic Craft.
  
  New Haggling skill, utilizes a minigame to give you a temporary buff (or debuff) in Commerce prices. It's specific to a trading post. So if you do it at Taillteann, fuck up and make the Goblin mad, then you can either wait it out or go to Tir Chonaill where that Goblin isn't mad at you. The buff/debuff only effects you, and isn't something on top of the existing profit margins. If the profit margin for an item is already as high as it can be, then it won't go higher. This goes in the Merchant talent and gives you more control over commerce, as opposed to waiting hours, leaving it to chance, and possibly still not getting good prices.
  
  Engineering and Minerology are given their own talent, not slapped into Blacksmith talent because they both use Ore, that's a stupid reason to group them.
  
  All non-crafting related skills in Construct Alchemy moved to Battle Alchemy. It was a cute idea at first but really it should just not be a thing.

  Snip~.

  
  
  [SPOILER="Stuff again."]These are going to be out of order because it's late, sorry.
  
  Why not rename the blacksmith talent like you did with the potion making talent, then stick the two skills in.
  
  Wine making could be made an actual whine making process and not some really annoying mini game no one wants to do. Said wine can be then traded on the merchant system for ducats (You start in Tail), and depending on what wine you made heavily influences what place wants that wine. It could also be used in cooking and other small things.
  
  Handicraft really does need to be removed. As well as Carpentry getting more things to make, like chairs and furniture for your player owned house/homestead. As a way to make trees less shity, the base gathering for them could be greatly increased and maybe...add...different types of wood from trees? Like not the fine finest and all that jazz, but different general types of wood that slightly or greatly effect the look and stats and stat rolls of items made with them as well as how good the campfire made from them is.
  
  IF handicraft is still kept, I would at least like to see a campfire kit being added to it so we can carry those without needing a chunk of our inv to some random logs.
  
  Demonic gear really got fucked hard. Ducats are just so annoying to get and even more so if you wana repair these damn things. Not to mention they were QUICKLY beat by new content.
  
  I'm fine with new weapons being stronger MOST of the time, than what we currently have IF they aren't a complete flat buff compared to what we have. Like a new lance having slightly less dmg but very slightly higher penetration and more minimum range.
  
  On the topic of lance penetration, that should be changed completely to be something other than a general number that represents what both def and prot is ignored. It should list both def and prot desperately so we can add some diversity to our lances both new and old.
  
  Yes, I know (forgot at the time but thank you for the reminder) that new items don't replace old ones, sadly. In a perfect mabi that wouldn't be the case. *sigh*
  
  While I agree that healing should be better, and I do have a few ideas for that, potions just seem much more accessible and quicker to the point that it's borderline stupid at how hard it is to make healing better/on par without making it OP. Events shit potions half the time, monsters drop decent ones, and there's an entire hot spring to remove pot poisoning in seconds. (Please don't remove this... XD I will admit I have chugged my share of pots but only from bull shit like near party wipes on blinker bullshit.)
  
  One idea is to very VERY slightly nerf potions by giving them a small cooldown, nothing that's going to make them unspamable, but not to the same degree as currently...which is as fast as you can mash the key I think. Something like 1.5 seconds or even 1.25. Next you make more pots to still make them be good as well as add some verity to them, then you start making events shit out less desirable potions or none at all, and finally you buff healing and party healing like so~
  
  Healing: Range increased without a wand by 100, defense added from having heal up no longer decreases as you use the charges and targets healed will have their defense increased by 1-20 (depending on rank) for 1 minute. Healing yourself does not use stamina but the defense boost time is cut in half.
  
  Party healing: Range increased by 500, defense added from having it loaded changed to protection instead. Said protection lingers for 25 seconds after it is used.
  
  Both have their base healing rate increased slightly.
  
  Even if you don't do the stuff to potions, this should help healing out a fair deal.
  
  Homesteads and player owned houses need to change, badly. Hell, they should honestly be the same thing at this point. Player owned houses should be replaced with stores and the entire player house map changed to look more like an actual fucking town (So 50+ 'shops' don't look out of place like hell...)
  Now you can give the homestead house a god damn use. Please for the love of fuck don't make it a god damn basic ass square on the inside for every version of the house...
  
  Walking with bard skills should have been a thing all along honestly. I'm not going to say that I can walk and play any instrument at the same time, but I'm also not saying that it's not 10000% do able and hasn't been done before because that's a fucking galaxy sized lie right there.
  
  Really, your instrument, regardless of what type it is, should be the reason you USE it and not sing, while still letting people sing without too much reason not to for those that want to solo with it. Just reduce bard skills slightly and make all instruments have innate hidden increase to bard skills to fill this gap. Instrument smash shouldn't be the main reason you use that drum, the fact that it makes your buffs better should be.
  
  Also just a general change to make bard skills more of a group thing would be nice. If the above doesn't seem like a good idea, I could see sing being the way it is now with a 30-60% nerf, with instrument/mic playing being a 'constant' thing where the buffs only last 5-10 seconds (depending on rank) after you stop, but are a tad bit better than they are now after you've played for a while. While yes, you lose one person to attack with...in a group you basically gained a grand total of 2-5.5 people in dmg total, provided you're in a group.
  
  Though I guess if I were to think of any bard skills, they'd be dmging while VERY slightly debuffing the mobs hit/in a small area around. Maybe even a ranged skill or two.
  
  Hunter talent seems nice honestly. Give that damn stuff a purpose besides basic ass melee and looks. (Though it is fun now to just turn into a fox or flying sword and beat shit up.)
  
  Iria can have it's 3rd chance then. Dungeon's got a 2nd chance with hard mode and that was too early, leaving them in the dust for years, but we all still somewhat want a revamp for that. (At least I hope we do.) Nothing deserves to be 90% useless!
  
  Talent restrictions, while nice, aren't everyone's cup of tea, especially in mabi, where the whole thing is do everything without much restriction. Though I think it COULD work BECAUSE of that very reason.
  
  Knuckle skills were meant to be the fast paced DPS 'combo' skill set from the start. Then combat changed. Now they're okay but not as good as they used to be. Speeding up the animations based on will would be a very neat idea. While I'm not too keen on giving it much more than more options for combos...Let's give it it's own version of bash, the CORRECT bash, not the shit we have. I mean a skill that is very low to low dmg for high stun with a small cooldown that should be over after 1-2 of your other combo skills are done cooling off.
  
  Oh yeah, bash change. I think I've said it before, but like, we sorta know it's not supposed to hit twice but also it should really just be a stun skill that does very low to low dmg, and at full 5 medium to low high. It's good for group play and solo that way.
  
  I thought my idea for axes would be that they're good all around, mainly when a bulky def/prot target comes in, but also still have party play with the debuff. Not sure what else to do with them honestly. Any ideas?
  
  Elements in alch are fine provided they are done right. They really fucked up fixing this even slightly when they did the revamp. I mean, are you serious? We even have something IN GAME showing us the relation of the elements. Use fire? You get fire AND EARTH. Use water? BAM THERE'S SOME WIND BITCH. Cylinders? Water cylinder: Fuck fire, fuck earth, holy water, fuck WIND. Yeah okay game. OKAY DEVKITTY.
  
  Though that said I think I fucked up my own idea for them as elements in the weakness table with that very relation lol. Oh well.
  
  As for cylinders, yeah sure. Let them buff one BUT for 'nerfing' the others, just require ONE extra crystal. Also don't just buff one, and why can't we make our own fucking cylinders? Tropa had a nice idea a while back where we could make our own and buff what WE wanted to buff. Oh well I guess.
  
  Yes, we need more mixed stats from skills.
  
  Like....
  Windmill: You're telling me you're not nimble with that shit? Give me a lil bit of dex for that, it's the closest thing we have to 'nimble' in this game.
  Smash: Let's get some will power in here.
  Defense: Some int and a tiny bit of str at the cost of some hp would be nice. Defending yourself effectively requires you to be on your toes, strong enough to hold back the attack/take it, and finally know what's coming. Fail these and you failed defending yourself. We can at least get some int for this.
  Support shot: Int again, you need to know where to hit them to do that.
  Mag shot: Str there. You're pulling that string back really fucking hard. (Unless it's a xbow..but...whatever, still str.)
  
  That's all I can really think of on that topic off the top of my head.
  
  
  Cattering could use a slight nerf. Nothing too major. If we cut our stats a bit, it'd be much more welcome, but dishes on their own should be more varied in general to make use mix and match things to balance out, or overpower one another stat wise.
  
  
  Books....I could see another magic skillset from them but idk. Using them with staves could be a thing as they'd just float around you because magic motherfucker. Uh....Tailoring for the finishing touches on a book if anything.[/SPOILER]
