Ring Mistress Carnie

With Swirling Fury, there's the decision about if it should be an activated ability, or sustained ability. As a sustained ability, you character could just keep throwing weapons in all directions until they run out of endurance. Or, as an activated ability, your character would a couple times.

The main idea was to have a few powers that helped dealing with a group of enemies. If the sustained ability option works, I'd say perhaps the cannot be moved around like the Whirlwind ability and the endurance cost should be somewhat high to keep players from constantly using/spamming the ability?

I've had another idea for this power set. How about, by using the Special Coating toggles, each toggles grants the player a specific power? For example:

Fire Coating grants an Exploding Weapon with AoE DMG(Fire/Smash),Foe Knockback
Ice Coating grants a Frost Weapon with Minor DMG(Cold/Lethal), For -Recharge, -SPD
Toxic Coating grants a Weakening Weapon with DoT(Toxic), Foe -DEF, -To-Hit
Energy Coating grants a Shock Weapon with Moderate DMG(Energy), Foe Disorient

This granted ability would replace, for example, Trip Toss or Head Shot (whichever one it replaced would be consider the special ability for the default Lethal weapon).

Continuing from my thread about a Ring Toss power set, I've taken that idea to a Thrown Weapons idea.

Toss Ranged, Minor DMG(Lethal)
Tosses weapon at an opponent that causes Lethal damage.

Dual Toss Ranged, Moderate DMG(Lethal)
Tosses two weapons an opponent that causes Lethal damage.

Follow Through Ranged, Moderate DMG(Lethal), Self +DMG, +To-Hit
You perform a feint attack that deals moderate damage. After this attack hits, it gives you a large bonus to Accuracy and Damage for a brief time.

Multiple Toss Ranged (Cone), Moderate DMG(Lethal)
Tosses several weapons in a cone in front of you. Good at close range.

Calculated Toss Sniper, Extreme DMG(Lethal)
A long range shot. Like most sniper attacks, this power has a bonus to Accuracy, but is best fired from a distance, as it can be interrupted.

Special Coating Change Secondary Damage/Effects
By purchasing this power, you will be granted toggles that change your secondary damage type on most weapon attacks from lethal to cold, fire, toxic, or energy. These toggles are mutually exclusive and only one can be active at a time. If no Special Coating toggles are active, the player will revert to lethal weapons.

Trip Toss Ranged, Minor DMG(Lethal), Foe Knockdown
You aim for the targets feet to trip knock them off balance.

Head Shot Ranged, Moderate DMG(Lethal), Foe Disorient
You aim for the opponent’s head, causing moderate Lethal damage and disorienting them for a few seconds.

Swirling Fury Ranged AoE, Moderate DMG (Lethal)
You spin around in a circle, tossing your weapons in all directions.

Ideas for weapon customization: Knife, Ring, Metal Fan, Shuriken, Boomerang, Buzz Saw, Hubcap, Needles, Hatchets

*Thanks to Leo_G for the suggestions of Needles and Tomahawks (which I called Hatchets to cover all various looks like a Tomahawk or Woodcutter's hand axe).

*Special Coating was previously named Weapon Swap
*Follow Through was previously done as Concentration, a buff without an attack

Because the idea for this costume pack uses various pieces of the Carnival groups (and the Carnival of Shadows uses the carnivals of Venice in its back story), I used the Italian spelling for Grand Carnival (Gran Carnevale). Here's what I'm suggesting:

FEMALE
Carnival of Shadows
-Attendant: doublet, gloves
-Harlequin: corset top and bottom
-Dark Ring Mistress: hair style, stockings (these may be an alternate corset bottom perhaps?)

MALE and HUGE
Carnival of Shadows
-Strongman: gloves, boots, belt, pants (while it would be nice to see the helmets, shoulder guards, and chest chains, I'm not sure how they would be placed in the options since they seem to be one piece? I'm not saying it can't be done, just that they don't seem like easy conversions)

Carnival of Light/War/Vengeance
*See note at end of post


WEAPONS
Carnival of Shadows
-Seneschal: Torch mace customization option
-Harlequin Fencer: Energy sword customization option
-Quantum Attendant: Quantum rifle customization option
-Strongman: Carnival Mallet mace customization option (the same one unlocked by earning the Illusionist Badge but this way doesn't require earning the badge for each War Mace character)



I know some people want the Carnival of Shadows masks (which is really just a face option, not an actual mask) fur collars and sticks the Ring Mistress' wear, and a few other unmentioned pieces, I feel these pieces should perhaps be kept exclusive to the group (though I wouldn't mind having some of them made available either, like the fur collars).

*Most of the other pieces the men wear are already available in the character creator or in the Magic Pack. Since the males of the Carnival groups Light/War/Vengeance wear helmets and and both genders wear shoulder guards that the Legacy Chain wears, it is a matter of deciding if to use these pieces in this pack or a Legacy Chain costume pack (or, perhaps even combining this Carnival costume pack idea with a Legacy Chain costume and calling it Fan Costume Pack 1?) Otherwise, this pack could simply be called the Carnival of Shadows costume pack.

Does anyone know how to enter the forum contests for one of these or have one they want to give away or anything? I want one of these outfits so bad! I love the sash belt and top with fur collar. Plus it's just so colorful!
