I would kill and exploit the corpse of anyone using this in my party... Monks, Rits, and any other support players would join me to feast on your eyes and other delikatessen. :P Also, the recharge blows (there are enough drawbacks to compensate the imba), and 10 seconds is a very long time if you used this in a bad moment, such as right before your party gets raped by something like a Spark that sneaked up on your backline. Compare to Order of Undeath. Offensive casters don't get enough benefit for the drawbacks, consider armor penetration (a la Air Magic bonus) or something. Also, getting a bit complicated with so many effects involved all at once. RoseOfKali 23:48, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * I had plans to adjust this. On contemplating Chimera of Intensity, I had already decided I overnerfed this.  Nwash 07:21, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * If you are looking at Chimera of Intensity, you need to take into account that it is not an equippable skill, so yours would also be a PvE mission based skill, and you should decide where it would be applied to the players. Based on that, it cannot be an elite skill.  Chimera is extremely overpowered compared to normal player skills.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 09:29, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * Incoming damage, aside from armor-ignoring, is increased by about 160% to 130%, while outgoing is increased by about 130% to 155% (depending on how many allies rely mostly on autoattack, so maybe 140% to 150% is a better estimate). Decent motivation is needed for this to even be an advantage at its current adjustment, so it could still be overnerfed.  I'm considering making the armor penalty even somewhat less severe (maybe aiming for more like 140% to 120% incoming), but it's only like Chimera in the offensive sense.
 * (I knew this was going to be a pain to balance even when I started, but the advantage and disadvantage together are needed to keep with the spirit of the quote. If there's no additional risk, there's no point calling it this.  It's just a matter of tweaking it to the right balance.)  Nwash 10:05, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * Right. I think you nailed it this time, me likes.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 12:35, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
