Simple Mosaic "fix"

General Discussion
1

The simple solution to nerfing mosaic is to change 50% / 100% chance to keep charges to 35% / 70% chance. Also make it use Sur or Ber, Gul is to cheap. Two lines of code edit probably.

This doesn’t “fix” Mosaic, it just destroys it completely (and what rune is used is irrelevant when talking about an utterly broken item). If they were to go that route, they’d better remove it completely.

The issue with Martial Arts is that the charging process is unreliable. With many monsters having significant block chance, and the to hit calculation being easily below 95%, you need to micromanage intensively the number of charges you have before discharging.
If you add a layer of randomness on the discharge process, you simply double the issue.

In order to fix Mosaic, you need to solve 3 issues, without adding a layer of randomness :

  1. It shouldn’t be able to abuse the number of hits of its finishing move. That means avoid applying full power to all hits beyond the first.
  2. It shouldn’t be able to constantly maintain a vast variety of charges.
  3. It should have a drawback, in order to avoid it being the strictly better way of playing martial arts.

Ideally, there should also be a lower level version of the runeword, in order to avoid having the build only available at end-game.

Lets just delete Assasin. Lets make this only Druids and Barbs game. And change lore to the same as Flimbo’s Quest, Commodore 64 game.

  • replace Teleport by Ball Lightning
  • add Teleport to Stealth, Leaf and Annihilus
  • add 5% ed per 1str and 10ar per 1dex for all wepons
  • buff all exc and elite weapons by 100% and 200%
  • make synergies based on elements instead of skills
  • add fast unassign assigned skill points (Tokens would reset stat points)
  • increase inventory to 10x8
  • allow Assa to spawn all traps at the same time with limitation of 3 of each tape.

Better fix is to do nothing.
Stop nerfing fun in a 25 year old game?
