Your focus should be completely filled on whispers or atleast after death.
So you can actually use ur runes before a boss fight.
For example illuminate or other buffs.
I had to fight the boss in complete darkness with my two handed weapons, or had to run mid fight to activate the illuminate rune.
Its simply ridiculous and pointless.
And also refill the focus in the boss chamber of the crucible.
Maybe even in every chamber.
focus based builds are already pretty strong. i am strongly against refilling focus around every corner. if that is an issue for you, adjust your build, re-roll enchantments, infuse, use potions etc.
My character is like a train.
Ive already created a topic about rune nerfs.
But this one is not about balance its about quality of life and solving problems.
You need to understand this.
getting free focus around every corner is not QoL it can be gamebreaking.
and things like illuminate, return etc might get moved to âutility rune slotsâ in the future, so u can move them independently, see here: Utility Runes - Thomas's Twitter
Idk if the utility runes use focus, if yes then you still need focus.
Like i said runes need to be nerfed anyways.
And you dont get focus thrown around, its litterally just after ur death.
Mostly the case in boss fights.
And suggested in the last boss chamber in crucible.
So you can use ur entire build correctly.
According to that the whole game needs to be balanced anyways.
But this is a quality of life fix.
Like in all souls games you spawn with full health and mana and buff urself up before you fight the boss.
Thats common knowledge and nothing new.
But in other souls games you didnt had to fight bosses in complete darkness.
Like i said i dont know if the utility runes will use focus on this matter.
the issue here is, as thomas said multiple times, that things like that only work in Souls because enemies respawn on each rest or death. in wicked they do not. meaning u could just jump off a cliff to refill all your bars, without the need to clear an area again.
and within crucible u have to strategically play around it. if u need focus for the boss, just fill your bar in the last chamber before.
like i said, the regain at every whisper or chamber was just secondary and needs to be discussed.
But the regain on death for the bosses is a must.
Specially with dark areas in general. Since i dont know about utility usage.
Maybe create a bigger death consequence, thats needed anyways.
But nothing that makes every boss attempt harder.
But before every boss you have to have full focus.
Basics.
I hope this will be solved to make a proper game.
No, leave it as it is now, it makes an extra challenge to go to a boss room with no focus and have to regain it.
Nah, its unnecessary imo. The only time i wish i had some focus regain is when im trying to test different runes, but thats issue of mine can be fixed by just implementing training dummies in the game (i think top of the sacrament has an area for this, would be great to have it here)
This problem is easily solved with either a torch or elemental damage charms on weapons. I have seen this rune but have never used it. If you do not want to enchant weapons for elemental damage, you can simply use elemental grease on weapons in such caves. The developers have provided a bunch of options in this situation, choose any and use it.
electric elemental is not enough to lighten the boss and when ur build is based on electric you cant just switch it.
Torch doesnt work for two handers.
And like i said buffing up with a damage rune for example, which is provided by the game, is also part of ur gear/build.
This is a no brainer to refill focus on death.
And the comparison with soulsgame enemy respawns, doesnt work.
Because unlike in soulsgames where you have like 10-14 heals until you touch a checkpoint, you have like unlimitted heal in wicked when ur out of combat.
So there is simply no difference if you touch a whisper if ure near by or if you heal urself with unlimitted food.
On top of that this game has op lifesteal.
This game simply makes everything wrong and then adds extremely annoying things into it to âcompensateâ their own mistakes from before.
And thats exactly what youre doing aswell.
Because most people dont actually understand the matter.
Thats why im here and put my time into this with easy and fast fixes that can be implemented withing minutes and make the game twice as good.
So i hope the devs are atleast smart enough to recognize genius if they see it in the forums and use it, since they cant come up with solution by their own.
You coming into the forum calling the devs out for (in your own words):
âmaking everything wrongâ
âadding extremely annoying things to compensate their mistakesâ
âboss fights are so extremely bad and some combat mechanics are so unimaginable badâ
âso incredibly bad in many pointsâ
And also diminish the work that goes into game development by saying:
âmy fixes are deliberatly easy and fast to implement with a big positive impact on the gameâ
âThats why im here and put my time into this with easy and fast fixes that can be implemented withing minutes and make the game twice as good.â
And finishing with the hilariousâŚ
âSo i hope the devs are atleast smart enough to recognize genius if they see it in the forums and use it, since they cant come up with solution by their own.â
Man, you must be fun at parties, git gud and stop ranting in here with your harsh comments and feel of superiority, if you are such a genius why canât you manage to beat the bosses?
Also, regarding the i-frames when in the ground, I bet you have taken advantage of enemies being in the ground and beating the shit out of them, huh?
My lordâŚ
