Announcements - Skill Reveal - Ancestral Protector - Forum

Firstly my suggestion for improvement: Why not make it so that the totem summons a ghostly copy of your character? The protector is untargetable and can freely move around but is tethered to the totem and can't leave a certain radius. The protector disappears if the totem dies. Mechanic wise the totem could kind of order the protector to attack - to prevent it from attacking out-of-sight enemies. And secondly my rant: I can't understand why GGG keeps implementing such incredibly goofy skills. Especially after Rory even admitted that many players judge spells by their animation/appearance rather than their actual values. How can it be that the animation dudes at GGG still produce stuff you'd expect from a startup garage indie game-studio despite all the years of experience? Or is the engine just so limiting? /facepalm Last edited by Woodfist on Feb 18, 2016, 2:33:46 AM	Posted by Woodfist on Feb 18, 2016, 2:23:57 AM Quote this Post
GGG, this Won't work with ancestral bond right? dealing no damage would make the totem deal non as well right? You don't cap for ele weakness? - Kids these days...

LOL... about 1,5 year ago I joked about Melee Totems entering the game...	Posted by Kampong on Feb 18, 2016, 2:54:55 AM Quote this Post
Take a look at League of Legend's character Kindred for how this might be correctly implemented. The ability Wolf's Frenzy to be specific.	Posted by tokamak3902 on Feb 18, 2016, 3:10:59 AM Quote this Post
Love the concept. Need more info :)	Posted by Glasny on Feb 18, 2016, 3:23:18 AM Quote this Post
Someone was literally asking for melee totem just while ago :D 3.14 - Removed Harvest from the game.	Posted by AltairLT on Feb 18, 2016, 3:40:43 AM Quote this Post
Doesn't look like it has a potential for good clear speed, hopefully I m wrong	Posted by Dr1MaR on Feb 18, 2016, 3:40:53 AM Quote this Post
The totem part of the skill looks a little weird, mostly because it turns when the ghost does. Gameplay wise though, yes, just hell fucking yes!	Posted by Omega_Philosopher on Feb 18, 2016, 3:45:35 AM Quote this Post
" Sexcalibure wrote: Am i the only one who would prefer this "Not a totem" but like a backpack instead. Lemme explain. Instead of having the spirit mounted on a totem, its mounted on your back, like in Haku's mission. The skill now passes from a totem tag to a buff/duration tag. This would be epic! Also why protector if it doesn' t have any defensive mechanism?
