D4 New Skilltree with Demonic/Angelic/Ancestral Power

General Discussion
1

The short version:

I like the looks of the new skilltree, but it feels to simple it needs more Branching, Like you should have 2 - 3 branches pr skill, maybe even some synergies.

I like the Demonic/Angelic/Ancestral Power and we could use it to influence the Current Skill Tree…
Ex.
Starting the tree more simple in looks like a withered tree an adding more Demonic power would. slowly transform the tree looking more like the one showcased in the Q3 update.
When hitting “X” demonic power extra brances suddenly appear on the skilltree.

This would add to the Specialiced class feeling…
Like im playing a,
Demonic Fire Sorc build
or
Ancestrel Berserker Barb Build

More about the powers and Hybrid builds for those who doesnt think the idea is crap allready Read on xD

The Long Version: (with lore ish xD)

Ideas of how to implement the powers.

Demonic: You feel a burning sensation inside your body, somethink wispering to take what you disire, your hunger out of control, you need MORE!
Spec:
Absorb on hit
Corrotion (DOTS)
Empowering skills but with added Life/recource cost
Mind control

Angelic: A light shines from within you, a Blessed feeling coursing through your veins, this feeling of true power
Spec:
Regen
Resist.
Buff.
Strengthen Core.

Ancestral: Knowlegde passed down through ages flows within you, your bodys movement seams fluid like water but still swift like the wind
Spec:
Crit.
Evasion
Cast speed
Resource Cost
Crowd Control

.
The Skill Tree.
Like before mentioned we need more choices more Branching pr skill.

implementing the Power System, where a certain level of Demonic/Angelic/Ancestral Power adds new Branches pr skill lets call them power Branches

suggestion.

  • Max 400 power
  • a new Power Teir / 100 points
  • 50 points adds 1 Power point (can only be used in Power Branch)
  • if you have 3 power types only the biggest 2 will be avaliable as hybrid.
  • If the biggest power type has double the points it dominates. ignoring the others
  • if you remove/Break items the Power Point loses its power.
  • power points invested can be Turned off but not removed
  • Removel/respecing follows normal skill points

ex: Demonic twist to a skill.

  • Fireball ----- Demonic Flame : Burn damage becomes lingering an spreads to nearby enemies.

ex Ancestral Twist

  • Bash ----- Oppening Strike: Cannot be stunned while preforming Bash, and 20 incresed dodge chance for 2 sec

Ex Angelic Twist

  • Wirlwind ------- light cyclone: increased the Range to X and has a 10% chance to blind enemies for 2 sec…

Grapics skill tree:

  • Normal: Withered Tree, maybe blooming as you unlock skills.
  • Demonic : Evil and Dark
  • Angeliv : Pure, like with holy/forbidden fruits, still with darker light colours like purple xD
  • Ancestral : Strong and old, tree of knowlegde
  • the Hybrid trees will be a challange but i think it would give.

anyways thanks for your time, post your own ideas to skill alterations, or Write how it just wont work :smiley:

Fair suggestion for the short version. Aesthetics.

As for the long version: tldr; mostly suggestive functionality & balance implementation.

However they decide on what to include in this area is not really any of our business. I highly doubt they’re going to let anyone mow their lawn in this regard and rightfully so.

A neat idea for GUI enhancement.

Yaaa i was also tinking it might be hard to balance perfectly xD

a boys gotta hope right xD

Interesting idea, but there are some details I’m not sure I understood.

Does each skill have 3 Demonic/Angelic/Ancestral Power branches ? Or a single branch that evolves according to the Demonic/Angelic/Ancestral Power threshold ?

What does each new Power Tier bring?

Is the power point manually placed on the Power branch ?

What happens if we have 3 identical powers? For example 50 Demonic, 50 Angelic and 50 Ancestral.

Are you losing your Power branch as well?

If I understand the Power points will work like the skills rune in Diablo 3?

First of all nice to see someone really study my idea :stuck_out_tongue:
Awesome
Second. its all just ideas feel free to come with changes that would suit the game better :smiley:

I was thinking like a 2/3 ratio,
2/3 Demonic
2/3 Angelic
2/3 Ancestral

so 2 different Power Branches pr skill. one on each side off the branc,

Like Tier
1 = lvl 1 - 10 spells
2 = lvl 11 - 20 spells
3 = lvl 21 - 30 spells
4 = lvl 31 - 40 spells

somethink like skill points ya, its all about the choises :stuck_out_tongue:

the 2 that was biggest first xD
ex
First
dem 50
second
ang 50
third
anc 25
now we add 30 anc

Now
First
Anc 55
second
Dem 50 becouse it was first before
Third
Ang 50.

I was thinking like it would fade away but be remembered :smiley: so that it follows the normal skills xD

Ya kinda, all from minor to major changes, and even making Power Roots unlock at some tiers ;D
