Hey everyone!
It’s been a while, but I thought I’d share some of the things we’re working on for the Wizard that will be in the next update.
Skill tree changes
Due to the removal of gilding and the introduction of Ascension we’ve had to rebalance all of the nodes and in doing so we’ve made it so that skill tree nodes of the same type no longer increase in value as you get further out in the tree. This was done to prevent the feeling that you need to stay in an ascension for as long as possible to get the most value out of skill tree purchases.
Haste and Flash changes
As some of you may know, there were some issues with haste and the way the Runecorder worked before. We’ve decided that we’d just remove haste from items on the Wizard and have changed the functionality of the Flash trait. Instead of Flash increasing the cast speed of skills we’ve now made it so that Flash gives a chance to cast the spell again instantaneously which will also have a chance to burn, chain, shatter, explode, etc.
To compensate for the haste and flash removal, we’ve also reduced the cast time of all spells.
Runecorder changes
The Runecorder has been significantly improved and instead of needing to get all your spells into one runecording we’ve added the ability to chain multiple runecordings together. By default, it will now perform each action once and work its way down the playlist, but we’ve also added the ability to selectively repeat each recording as many times as you’d like. However, there is a cap of 10 runecordings and you’ll still need to make some longer recordings if you want to have a more complex playlist.
Here’s an example of a simple Runecorder you might have.
