I don't think this should be an ability, but maybe something should be done about minibosses, you can sit for 30 minutes trying to kill a lvl 300-ish mini....
You can always kill yourself.

<blush> TBH the only reason I can pull that off is by having a globe, lots of adren, an energy weapon, and firing redeemers sparingly to replenish adren when the energy weapon itself fails to do so. A vorpal also helps. Ghost and ultima help too. I've ghosted on wave 15 on Akbal thinking ok it's over but my ultima blew up enough monsters to replenish enough adren to keep me going until the end of the wave. :faroah:
BTW much like how energy weapons recover less adren as monster level goes up, vamp recovers less health. Without a globe, monsters damage me faster than I can damage them.
Back on topic, I don't think WMs need to do any more damage then they already do.

well the mini boss isnt what i had in mind at the time i was more talking about the many times its been me and franky as the last 2 left on akbal or kotam and there was nothing i could do as an adren master to stay alive....it could be extremely usefull if somone could decrease the level of the monsters so that everyone had a chance to stay alive...something else i just thought of is a skill that instead of pushing monsters away it pulls them but that could be a deadly misclick

I prefer to make things impossible when the monster lvl is super high. It provides a reason that low levels are important, and you'll need teamwork to keep them alive.
Whenever it comes to this situation, your best chance of survival is to hide or pull out the piercing and vorpals.

pull out the piercing
Exactly. I think it's really interesting that people don't seem to respect the Piercing weapon that much. I know when I do testing with characters even in the 100 level range ... Piercing does multiple times the amount of damage other weapons (including Vorpal) can do. I think it's because so many maps just totally spoil players that all these low levels can constantly stay alive and people never realize how potent Piercing really is.

I agree with Ant. While I prefer a vorpal in the "impossibly high level monsters" scenario because it gives you a chance of "instant" killing a monster and thus regaining some adren, a piercing gun is second best and IMO your only chance (other than a super weapon which gives only temporary kills anyway).

Wail is already on this ;D

Next update is going to include a couple of new commands that I am outlining here for reference purposes.
ThrowSlot - Identical to "TossArtifact" provided for nomenclature / command syntax consistency reasons. If your currently selected item/skill/artifact can be dropped, it will be.
ClearSlot - Destroy your currently selected item/skill/artifact. Provided because some items can't be dropped, but destroying these items using the throw command is mistake-prone.
InfoSlot - Identical to SlotInfo, provided for command syntax consistency
SlotInfo - Opens a window with information on your currently selected item/skill/artifact. This probably won't be working for everything right off the bat but the goal is anything new should have this accessible, which should improve things as far as any new items that are added (which is really the main reason to use it anyway, so...).
WeaponInfo - Opens a window with information on your currently selected weapon. Again won't be working for everything right off the bat but ideally should provide players with information on any weapon type from within the game.
Maybe some more later.
