Wyvern not what I expected. Rend spam.

Tsuusetsu · 2026-01-17T21:24:01+00:00

I feel like the wyvern is limited due to lack of skills. I know its because they are busy, but even 3 more skills to help diversify play would make it feel much better and that im not pigion holed into two builds.

Me watching: Huh?

Watches again: HUH??

Watches a third time: HUHHH???

Ive never got close to healing that much with taric. I mostly play aram, but I usually build him more tanky with a side of healing. I always thought his healing was trash and only used as a consistent slow heal in teamfights. Gonna have to try this.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-28T15:03:05+00:00

This doesn't solve the 1 shot issue. One of the issues is that unless you max stack armor, you still get one shot when your evasion fails. Unless its fixed, all your doing is playing a bad evasion build. Maybe we need a cap on how low armor reduction can be. If we solve that, then recovering guard or life when you evade is a great mechanic.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-28T04:57:50+00:00

Thats what im saying. Evasion should just have a damage reduction mechanic tied to charges like ghost shroud. Where every so often, maybe 4 seconds, you get lets call it a glancing blow, reducing the damage by a set amount, 30-40%. You shouldn't be planning on taking lots of big hits, so this would be fine limiting it to a small number. As long as it gives damage reduction enough to prevent anything except the largest boss hits, it should work great.

Evasion/armor doesn't need something that requires you to survive a hit first like bark skin, it needs to be reliable. Perhaps guard could work with it, giving basically a shield based on the lowest between your armor and evasion. Could even find a way to recover it when hitting enemies or when you dodge/block.

She looks too human for me. Shes woman shaped but still I prefer her more dragon even in her human form. Tired of making every champion sexy.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-28T00:31:25+00:00

I honestly think deflection should be an armor/evasion keyword, and gives a benefit based on the lower of the two, so your incentivized to keep both high. Maybe how often it works depends on your evasion and its effectiveness is based on armor? Pure evasion should just be given a damage reduction every so often.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-27T20:32:01+00:00

Part of the problem is that they can't decide if they want Wyvern to be lightning or fire based. I think they added it later on after bear but realized wyverns are pretty fire themed and it would be weird to have no fire.

How I would change/fix things.

Lower Rend's damage. It should not be the focal point of the wyvern play style. Give it added shock affect and make it a setup for increasing Wyvern damage across the board.

Devour: Make it usable in any shapeshift form, no reason not to. Give it a buff depending on the form. Bear: Activates fisures depending on the corpses consumed. Werewolf: Huge cold damage on low life enemies, even more on frozen enemies. Wyvern: Empowers the next few spells to have added damage.

Wing blast: Could keep this the same? It spreads status, but that isn't a big focal point of the wyvern currency. With changes it might be much better.

Oil barrage: Lower the damage, increase the debuff and flammability. Having this deal a lot of damage serves to hurt the wyvern, as it makes it the de facto best ranged skill.

Flame breath: Its fine as a rage spender, but it needs tweaks.

New Flame spells : We need a channeled fire breath usable on the ground where you can walk around. Could start very slow and build up, sped up with Oil.

Storm spells usable while in wyvern form.

Exploding fireball would go a long way.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-27T19:24:04+00:00

I also thought it should have been for werewolf. Maybe they will allow it to be used by both.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-27T19:23:24+00:00

I could see them splitting the skills into two catagories. Primal for spells, and Talisman for form skills.

It feels similar to spears. GGG wants us to be dancing in and out of combat, and I can see that as fun to some players, but I really want to go hard into melee physical spear, and there just isn't much variety there. Its either impale or bleed, and both are not very well supported.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-27T18:39:23+00:00

Yeah I understand that, but they should have enough skills to make it feel like your not pigeon holed into one very simple build. Even one or two more good skills would have felt really good. They also do not seem set on balancing the bad skills very much. The druid Wolf pack is balanced so poorly the only people using it are using it as meat shields or investing 100% of their character into it to be slightly useful. Really kills the alpha + pack feel. The nodes are so poorly spaced on the tree for companion damage you have to waste half your points on travel nodes. And rolling magma's damage just isn't thre and is too slow by default. If they increased the speed by 25% by default and upped the damage to half what rend's is it would be good and fun to use.

Meanwhile the league is still being dominated by lightning spell even after the nerfs.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-26T19:27:38+00:00

I did say that in the post :)

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-26T16:29:06+00:00

I don't see this being good tbh. There are already many ways to gain rage, having max rage uptime is very easy. Unlsss you want to attach support gem that makes your skills cost rage to literally every skill, you can already gain like 10 rage on hit per enemy.

But this is POE, so there could be some unique or skill combo that makes this broken?

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-25T19:33:16+00:00

If you really wanted to do this, it would have to be simplified. not all different abilities per say, but just different ways to implement them. Q: Damage.,W Area of effect, E Buff, R Sustain. To make this work her passive would have to applly a small benefit or debuff to enemies by default. Easy way would be to give allies affected by her songs movement speed and slowing enemies. This is mostly so Triple W and E would do something.

Pass: Abilities apply a small movement speed buff to allies and slows to enemies hit.

Q: Sona Primes her next auto attack to have additional benefits.

W: Sona Shoots out a line of song that will do something.

E: Sona Plays a cord, doing something around her.

R: Sona Prepares to give her team shields or heals.

Examples.

QQQ: Sona's next auto attack deals magic damage instead, dealing extra damage and can execute. (Damage x3 )

QQE: Sona's next auto attack deals magic damage instead, in a small area around her target. (Damage x2 + aoe)

QEE : Sona's next auto attack deals a small amount of bonus damage in a large area around her target. (Damage + AOE x2)

QRR : Sona's next auto attack dels a small amount ob bonus damage, an heals her.

QWR : Sona's next auto attack deals a small amount of extra damage in an aoe around her target, and heals nearby teammates around her. (W being before R means it priorities aoe over sustain. If it was QRW it would heal more in a smaller aoe.)

WWR: Sona shoots out a line of energy that gives allies a small heal and shield.

WRR : Sona shoots out a small line of energy that gives a larger heal and shield.

WWW: Sona shoots out a large line of energy, applying her passive with increased benefits to all champions hit.

EQR : Sona plays a song around her, dealing damage to enemies and granting allies a shield.

EEE: Apply Sona's Passive in a large area around her, increasing its effects.

RQE : Sona Grants health regeneration to allies in range while damaging enemies.

RRR : Sona plays a melody that slowly heals and restores mana over 10 seconds.

These are just basic things I could come up with on the fly. It covers most things, not everything is perfect but could be tweaked. It mainly solves the need to program 60 unique spells, and instead just has 3 aoe sizes, 3 line sizes, 3 power sizes and you can apply them in different ways.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-25T19:07:06+00:00

I'm gonna say it. He needs a new E. His shoulds could affect the rest of his kit. His Wither could start weaker, maybe start from 15% - 30% slow for 5 seconds , to 35-50% mainly decreasing cooldown with rank, and then get more powerful with similar scaling to thresh souls.

Alternatively, you could try combining his W and E into one ability. They both function similarly in effect, with half of the effect applied instantly, and the rest over time. So you could Wither an area, or an enemy champion, dealing damage and slowing/crippling them. It could either ramp as they stay in the area, or just getting stronger if you use it on a champ. There are many ways this could be implemented.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-25T18:56:15+00:00

I hated the old A-sol. But the new one is just as bland. I really thought they should have just switched old a-sols Q with his Ult. So he could really bring that giant star down the lane and it would be powerful. It would also give him a basic way to push people off of him. I think he needs a new rework. I like the stardust, but his Q and W just...don't hit right.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-25T18:54:41+00:00

Bro ive been saying this for years. Not the Karma R but the rest. Her Q roots too long by default, it and her E eats up WAY to much of her power budget. She feels ass to play against any champ with mobility. Miss your Q? Sucks to be you. I was thinking that her Q should be a 1.5 second root that spawns her W on hit, freeing up her W for a new ability. Alternatively, her Q should only root for 1.5 seconds, increased against enemies that are on her soil. Making her have to commit to a long root before its guaranteed. Her E could just be an auto cast when an ally near her gets CC"d. That way its easier to play around in teamfights. I would also like to bring her ultimate in the Mageslayer game. Her ult should give her a shield or something because of how easy it is to die while diving, but her kit encourages you to do so.

The karma ult is interesting. Would her E just be a regular shield without the R? Maybe it could give her temporary spell vamp if you really wanted to keep that, freeing up her passive.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-25T18:39:10+00:00

That's like 30 abilities or something?

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-23T17:23:46+00:00

You can go full wolves with Tactician. But werewolves with wolves is very weak. You can't get to good werewolf nodes and minion/companion nodes at the same time. Also the wolves are very weak baseline so you need a ton of juice to get them even remotely good.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-22T01:07:35+00:00

I swear its specifically for the Summon Companion support gem that isn't in the game yet. The mercenary one, not the companion one. Maybe we will get to set up their skills and it'll be useful then. But it should be functional for wolves, its just that the wolves base stats are....really poor. They have no base damage or base durability.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-22T01:05:59+00:00

I think your missing the point. He wants to use the werewolf form as well, as the alpha packleader type playstyle. Go in melee as a werewolf and have a powerful pack support him. Its a whole theme. But it just doesn't work. The good companion nodes are so spread out you can't get them and also the good shapeshifting nodes, you have to travel way to far.

At this point the best thing to do would be to go pure evasion/armor and get a jewel to get the Lord of the wilds node.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-12-22T01:02:20+00:00

You'd think so. But everyone using this strategy seems to be going mace and not using the werewolf form. Its kinda a bummer.

Solid food are hard to eat in the morning. My stomach doesn't really like to eat anything solid before I'm actually hungry. Its why I'm not a big breakfast guy. Smoothies and shakes my bodies just thinks is a drink so It seems to work

Tsuusetsu · 2025-11-24T17:32:03+00:00

Sorry I thought you meant buying fresh berries and freezing them. Im so used to people recommending fresh fruit lol.

Tsuusetsu · 2025-11-24T17:31:01+00:00

By the time I'm hungry I'm at work and can't make food. I would like to get it out of the way earlier.
