Runes - passive perk modifying other runes

Focus system change - suggestion - #48 by DankMemeGod

i came up with this idea and i think it deserves its own discussion.

Maybe every rune could get its own unique passive trait that modifies the other runes in the same item.

  • So e.g. for the Fireball a passive trait like:
    other runes in this item have “20% increased fire damage”
  • or for heat enchantment
    burning enemies have 20% reduced fire resistance
  • or for Focus Halo
    other runes in this item require require 20% less focus

or, just individual passive runes like this as separate items.

(Yes, I am aware that this is not too far from PoE :wink: )

Yeah, I’ve been wanting to have an electricity spell that bounces back and fourth to enemies like League of Legend’s Brand’s ultimate spell, Conflaguration.

If you don’t play, basically the character unleashes a spell that has a fireball bouncing back and forth between opponents that are close to eachother dealing damage but also refreshing a DoT passive that also deals percentage health for like three seconds.

… I just realized I want to create a League of Legends character in No Rest For the Wicked… D:

But also if you have Twitter, you should let it be known in this thread:

They already offer a good amount of freedom, but I’d like this stuff to create endless possibilities for players. Players should be able to chain effects together and be able to dive heavy…” / X (twitter.com)

Yeah, League in particular can be a great inspiration for Wicked. A lot of the abilities are really interesting and already established in PvP. And most feel amazing, very close to Wickeds design.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could do just that? :upside_down_face:

Even better, build our own character with our custom Ability set.

Great Idea if done well. But could be very difficult to do well.

But I’d love to see Moon try! :heart:

I’d prefer it, if Runes had additional passive Effects, not being purely passive. We really don’t need another Path of Exile. This way each one also can be more unique.
