Idea about staff skills and Force Shock, little change to make it more interesting

Sugram22 · April 18

the idea is zos adds new staff, elemental staff and changes the skills a little, with that Force Shock does elemental damage like it currently does with any staff (but other spells gain elemental damage like force shock currently is), but if used with lightning staff it only does lightning damage

so basically staff spells will do damage type paste on staff, so its possible to be pure ice lightning and fire mage with staff skills paste on the staff u chose

u could say its suggestion to zos

I would say that'd probably disrupt people who actually use that skill to proc multi-element sets like Elemental Catalyst and such.

That would step on the toes of elemental clench. If you want a destro spammable that matches your element, elemental clench (except ice) or elemental reach.

i did say with elemental staff force shock works like it currently does, so if they do it they need to add that new staff

well it does add force shocks multi element damage to all skills, well not to the weakness skill tough cause this just major preach so this functions as it is

and with other staves it becomes single element spell like with ice spell ice beam this will also proc Elemental Catalyst just like when using elemental staff

so i don't think that its a issue, but test servers exists for that

EDIT:
@SirBanana1992
in short it won't disrupt anything, all options are there, it depends on a staff u chose, chose right staff and nothing changes

Force Shock should look more elemental, like Weakness to Elements, if not just fully inherit your staff's element. That would make it more similar to Elemental Reach/Clench, but I think in a good way that would feel more thematic.

that's basically what i suggest, that with current staves it does that

but they add new staff to the game called elemental staff and with that staff all staff spells are elemental, doing damage from 3 elements like force shock currently does

so depending on what staff u use, u get exactly what u ordered

also impulse even with both morphes should be like with fire it does direct damage but also adds burn (DOT), ice has chill and freeze, lighting direct damage and stun

off topic:
lethal arrow, sins poisoned status effect is new DOT the DOT should be written down in skill txt like in past when lethal arrow was both direct damage and DOT

its a mistake not to mention dot damage

and templar Dawn's Wrath skill line/skill tree should be fire paste, cause it fits cause its connected to sun and sun is fire, and suits to templar
