[MOD] OCULUS

 what does this ability do, i dont remeber atm?

did you seriously just buff Occ? Other than Ball Lightning. Which I agree with. But ffs.

What's your fix for Electrocution? I tried to fix it back when he was first "added" to the game.

I'll try to check out the curing of debuffs. Should be able to compare to Sedna's heal, though.

Apart from bug fixes occ is powerful enough as it is.

The only things that could be touched are ball lightning and the giving mana ability (removing debuffs at level 10 or possibly 5 could make the skill useful and still underpowered compared to others).

There is a reason that blast off 1 has a low aoe: its so occ can't farm an intrire creep wave and tele to saftey at level 1 (somthing that would be really nice to be able to do, but is very much overpowered).

You could try that i think it would remove debuffs like heal does but you will have to test it.

    Buff.RemoveBuffsByDebuff(params.Targets[1], true)

is the added line.

im only just proposing these ideas, like other did to me b4 i posted em here. 

IMHO these minor buffs proposed seem to makes sense. Ill decide soon on whether ill implement these tweaks.

@nzac ive tried various ways, and none seem to work, even the one u suggested.

Need more opinions!

im fairly shure thats the line, i thought that was the right place for it

you could try using the line:

Buff.RemoveBuffsByDebuff(unit, true)

outside the if Has abiltiy statement, appears gpg may have rewritten the function for occulass so the input veriable are different. Ill edit the above code again.

You could also try changing 'unit' to 'target' also.

How have you been testing it, i could see if i can get it working.

i looked at it again, and i missed the positioning of the code. Instead i replaced a line of Oculus code with the line from sednas to see if i could get it working that way. lemme know if u get it working though

Why the buff on "King of Minotaurs"? That's good enough skill as it is.

Ptarth has a solution here i think i am missing an end statement some where.

I still cant see why my second solution does not work.

Give him the managain death effect if you can, and change sacrifice to something useful, but not overpowered. I'd stick some mana return on it or something, because right now it's kind of lackluster, especially for three whole points.

Regarding Blast Off, I'd give it the large AoE from start, but a lower damage progression coupled with a shorter recharge and lower cost, so it doesn't offer a nearly instant huge nuke coupled with CL.

well, fixed figures arent as great as regenerative rates so as a way of complimenting the max mana gained i thought id add a very minor mana regen. Same goes for the other stats. Max health is nice but it only helps against burst dmg whereas if u have some armor behind it u can survive a little more melee/ranged dps. Thats just the way i think of things.

yeh ill have to look into it

ill see what i can do with the death effect. mana gain makes the most sense also.
As for blast off, i think it might be fine as is. but ill see ... not too many changes though lol.

ok thx nzac for linking me to ptarth's post. Got it fixed. Was so easy and i tried to do it a harder way lol. 

Please give Occ an interrupt.

I was thinking about the exact same thing ORION. Instead of making the blast off radius the same for all levels, maybe keep it as it is and give it a stun for .5/1/1.5/2 seconds for DGs and 2/3/4/5 seconds for creeps hit by blast off! it would make sense, I mean the guy litteraly jumps and smack his ass on the ground, he should be able to stun shit !

lol .... yeh but ppl r complaining about me makign him OP with minor buffs, so im not sure how an AOE interrupt will notmake him OP. im all for the idea btw but others seem to like him the way he is other than the fact that a few of his skills needed a couple of fixes.

i might even add the aoe interrupt to brainstorm. I'll see if i can get it to stun those around targetted ally. hmmm ... what to do...

how about giving chain lightning an interrupt effect for all DGs hit by the lightning without being stunned. This way he can be a tier 1 DG without buffing his skills ?

The only complain I have is the radius of blast off. please restore it back to its original value.

before i do that, i wanna just point out that you are using quite a large amount of mana just to use blast off so you would expect a fairly rewarding result.

also ... i just looked at the code in my modded version of occulus and i dont think i increased the effect radius of the "hit smaller units in the air". Im confused with the terminology they have used for this functionality (coz there are 2 properties in regards to this function). So if u want ... try it out. I think i only increased the radius of the direct dmging aspect of the skill.

My only want for Oc would be to not have Explosive End trigger off resummoned balls (lol).

I think the ability is great but the fact that he can just resummon them to do the damage kills abilities to get away from it (like stuns)

But of course, that's justm e.

@Izuz yeh, the bottom tooltip is something that ive had an issue with for one of the other demis also. Not exactly sure how to change it. But the details in the toopltip within the skill tree window are the correct reflection of what the skill entails. *im still thinking about the interrupt also lol and i think the best way to do it without making Occ too OP is to do it with brainstorm.

@Teseer Well explosive end isnt as strong anymore. i reduced the dmg to 300 from 400 and made him summon 3 out of 6 balls at a time. So you cant exactly chain this effect with a 1200  burst dmg in quick succession. (I havent posted the new changes i made in this OP yet)

@gkrit

I thought that those small buff icons on top of the health bar work exactly like the TB's form switch and auras icons, and I think that you were able to modify them in this mod. So how come it is different with Occ ?

About the interrupt, well since Occ is already very powerful I would think of giving to one of his active skills a chance to interrupt [& optionally stun]. example:

- blast off: Occ has 40/50/60/70% chance to interrupt DGs hit by blast off, [& optionally for levels 3/4 a 50/60% chance to stun DGs for 1/2 sec]. (just rough values)

I think its a new kind of skill that is not in the game currently. What do you think ?

not sure how i would code the chance rate for a skill. There is weapon proc but no skill proc that im aware of. So not sure how i would go about that one. I reckon there would be more tactical plays if brainstorm caused a stun time. Could be used to overcome a spit UB (since brainstorm can remove debuffs), and put him out of play for a short time and give ur ally time to escape if needs be. Hmmm ... still thinking but not sure if i should add anything coz there are so many ppl that would complain while others would like it.

As for the tooltips... i thought u were talkign about something else lol but now i know what ur talking about. Ill have this fixed in the next version.

double post .... :/
