Hey Guys,
This is something I've been working on for a while, taking the time to get it right and get all rolls and damages to apply properly.
Thought I'd give you a look, see what y'all think.
When a monster drops loot, there is a chance that it rolls Rare, Epic or Legendary:
Basic rolls are broken down like so:
One-handed weapon:
+Attack, +Extra Defense, +%Critical Chance, *
Two-handed weapon:
+Attack, +Defense, +%Critical Chance, *
Wands and Rods:
+%Spell Damage
Shields:
+Defense, *
Armor/Legs/Boots/Helmet:
+Armor, *
Bows/Crossbows:
+Range, +Accuracy%, +%Critical Chance, *
* There are special Elemental Damage rolls that target thematically specific items:
Elemental Damage Rolls:
Some Two-handers can roll both elements:
Rolling double elemental damage means you miss out on a +%Crit Chance roll, but you have a much higher minimum damage.
Also, when double elements are rolled, one of the elements is added onto your base damage (primaryDamage).
So if you get +%Crit Chance from another source, your elemental damage can now Crit:
Your original damage is preserved regardless, so if you're hunting something that is immune to those elements, your regular physical damage is still applying as per normal:
This works for both:
a Two-handed weapon with two elemental rolls.
a One-handed weapon + shield with an elemental roll on each.
Fire has moderate consistent damage and a 33% change to apply burning.
Ice has low consistent damage and a 20% chance to paralyze/slow the target for 3 seconds.
Energy has the highest possible damage, but always has 1 minimum damage so its inconsistent.
+%Spell Damage is self-explanatory:
Elemental Resistance Equipment and Crit Jewelry:
Elemental protection is pretty straight forward, doesn't really need a disclaimer either:
The idea here is to enhance the grind mechanic, this game has always been about hunting and looting.
Very well rolled gear is both very powerful, and very valuable.
When you're low level, rolling +10 Attack on a Battle Hammer or Morning Star could be a god send.
Hell, even a simple Crit roll could make all the difference.
The system itself is all contained within loot dropping via LUA (with the appropriate rarity rolls applied as they drop);
And an OnHealthChange creatureevent that processes and adjusts damage/effects based on those rolls.
There's a few more things I want to add like Bleed rolls, an AOE roll, but the core mechanics are there.
I still need to think of quality mechanics I can add to Rod and Wand rolls, I'll add ManaLeech - but I'm looking for some fancier ideas.
Hopefully that's something you guys can help me come up with.
