Druidry

From Sanctuary Shard

Revision as of 16:45, 29 July 2020 by MamaWillow (talk | contribs) (Role-Play Spells)

Druidry is currently being design as part of the new magic skill system and will be the primary healing and buff skill of the set.


Introduction

Druidry could as easily be considered the path of the Green Witch or the blessings of a healing Cleric. It is primarily a healing and beneficial magic skill that is intended to be paired with Spirit Speak for effectiveness. The skill is designed to be effective as both a tertiary and secondary skill, as well as a primary skill.

Please Note
This skill has not been reviewed for PvP. Portions of this skill may not work in PvP. Ultimately, there will be an overall check of PvP, but that is many months off when more of the skills under development are complete.

In Testing

This is in development!

Using

This skill replaces the skill Spellweaving which should be transparent to players using the new client, but not perhaps to those still using the OSI client. Please note this skill is effectively unusable with the OSI client.

Purchase a full Tomb of Druid Knowledge from the Master Mage. Druidry uses reagents from Wildcrafting that need to be blessed at an Ankh.

Set your target to training dummy in the .spelloptions dot command and go practice Embracing Earth for skill gain.

Spell effect 
.. is scaled upwards based on Spirit Speak and Mana.
Based on the spells skill range the effectiveness of a spell will scale. If the range is 0 to 100, it will scale upwards starting at 0 skill and reaching maximum effectiveness at 100 skill. If the range is 50 to 70, the spell is not castable until 50 skill, and the effectiveness will skill up to maximum damage at 70 skill.
Some spells will gain a boost above and beyond the specified skill range.
Targetting 
Beneficial targetting has been upgraded to allow the player to set, via macro or .spelloptions, their default target for beneficial spells; self, partner, or target cursor. Druid spells will automatically target based on this setting, and you will be able to change the target via macro (keys or buttons). This system does not change how the .bandage command works, nor does it affect skills like Spirit Speak which are auto-self-targetting.
Mith we might need rename the .partner command because its imprecise. Maybe .bandage setpartner?
In addition, Auto-heal spell can be used on training dummies as well to allow the player to train on them in the same way that melee can. This is changed by using the .spelloptions dot command and changing your Targeting Strategy.
The spells can be cast using the .cast command. Druidry spell IDs begin with 860 and go up to 869.
Fizzling
Spells do not fizzle, instead they always cast if the player's skill level is equal to or higher then the minimum skill range for the spell but they cast at reduced effectiveness.
Reagents
Druidry will consume Wildcrafting reagents which will need to be brought to an Ankh and blessed before they can be used. Can we do a little cleric/druid blessing animation/sound to make this feel nice.
Cooldowns
Druidry spells have the concept of cooldowns. The spells have very short cast times, but they have a cool down which stops the player from being able to cast that spell again for a period of time. The spell icons in the client will display as red, and show a countdown to when they can be used again.
Auto attack spell
Embracing Earth is the Druidry auto-heal spell. These spells, once cast, will continue to fire off every few seconds at your target. Reagents are only consumed when you activate them, but mana is taken every time the spell fires off. The spell icon for the spell will change to green when active. If you want to stop the auto-heal, cast Embracing Earth again. This is the only spell that can be used on training dummies to train your Druidry up.

Spells

Spell Mana Skill Range Reagents Cast Time Cooldown Range
Embracing Earth

Druid1.jpg

2 0-100 Woundwort Auto Cast 18 Tiles
This single-target heal is a small continual-cast spell that will remain on the target it is cast upon until it is stopped. It does not automatically change target. The spell can be stopped by activating it again. The spell is not specifically a heal-over-time because it is continually cast and takes mana each time, but because it is auto-cast it functions as a heal-over-time. Spirit Speak increases heal amount.

Animation: green sparkle animation - the small one

Restore Spirit

Druid2.jpg

4 50-70 Bee's Lace .5 sec 5 secs 14 tiles
This medium-sized single target heal is the backbone of the Druid heal spells. Quick to cast, low mana and with a short cooldown, this spell can be used regularly to keep a party healed when used in conjunction with a player's own healing. Spirit Speak increases heal amount.

Animation: Look at the Inspire animation is.

Wild Remedy

Druid3.jpg

6 50-70 Blackthorn Berries 1 sec 10 secs 11 tiles
This area-of-effect removal spell will cure poison, stop bleeds and remove curses. A single point solution, this spell has a narrow AOE that increases as the caster's skill in Spirit Speak increases -- an ideal solution for keeping a close party of melee characters from having to run off and cure. Range: 1 tile at 50-70, 2 tiles at 71-90, 3 tiles at 91-100.

Animation: Mushrooms on the ground

Soothing Vale

Druid4.jpg

8 70-90 Mugwort 1 sec 15 secs 9 tiles
This area-of-effect heal is about as powerful per person as the quicker casting heal but it has an ever-increasing range that improves based on the caster's Druidry. Range: 2 tiles at 70-90, 3 tiles at 91-99, and 4 tiles at 100. Spirit Speak increases the heal amount.

Animation: A flower on the ground

Life Bloom

Druid5.jpg

10 80-100 Mandragona, Woundwort 1 sec 20 secs 6 tiles
This large heal comes with a heal-over-time that makes it an incredibly useful heal spell for large encounters. The mana cost is reasonable but the 20-second cooldown will force the caster to choose carefully when they use it. Spirit Speak increases heal amount. Druidry skill determines the length of the HOT.

Animation: energy gate in green sent once with a green sparkle for OT

Glade's Grace

Druid6.jpg

12 50-70 Blood Moss 1 sec 30 secs 12 tiles
This basic AOE blessing spell will raise the Str, Dex, and Int of a group of players. Druidry determines the AOE range, while Spirit Speak determines the amount of buff given.

Animation: A flower on the ground

Holy Shield

Druid7.jpg

14 70-90 Mugwort, Blood Moss 1 sec 45 secs 8 tiles
Holy Shield, like that of the UO Magery arch protection spell, is an area-of-effect spell that raises the target's effective armor. Higher levels of Druidry and Spirit Speak will affect both the range and the buff.

Animation: Find something that pulses and then wears off, and see if you can add this to the buff bar.

Leyline Resonance

Druid8.jpg

16 70-90 Belladonna, Mandragona 1 sec 45 secs 8 tiles
This spell will either raise Magic Resist or reduce spell damage. The Mysticism spell will do the other one.
Sacred Grove

Druid9.jpg

18 80-100 Bee's Lace, Belladonna Instant 60 secs Self
This spell will place a circle of runestones around a 4 tile space. The circle is always placed at the caster's location and will provide the following benefits to any player moving into this circle. It will cure them of bleeds, poisons, and curses. It will heal them to 30% of their hit points and immediately activate their regeneration as long as no mobs are standing within the circle -- this means that damage from arrows and spells, cast from a distance, will not break active regeneration while in the circle.
Final Retreat

Druid10.jpg

20 90-110 Bat Nut, Blackthorn Berries 3 sec 75 secs 4 tiles
This spell will summon a player's corpse to the caster's feet. This spell actually has no range restriction on where the corpse is and will summon the corpse from other facets and from a great distance.

Animation: Do a gate animation on the caster, put a rune on the ground, hide the caster, Move the corspse, show the caster.
