Angon's effect currently does not stack with other forms of the status 'Defense Down', especially the 'Defense Down' status imposed by 'Jump' under the effect of 'Spirit Surge' or from the additional effect of Gungnir. In order to remedy this and keep the effect of Angon unique, strong and desirable I propose the following modifications.
- Create a new status effect, let's call 'Pierced'.
- This status effect stacks with Dia, Box Step, and 'Defense Down' granted from the aforementioned abilities and spells.
- The 'Pierced' ailment inflicts Defense Down and Critical Defense Down.
- Because this status stacks with other abilities that lower a target's defense the aspect of Angon that lowers 'defense' will need to be set lower, say 12%, with Wyrm. Finger Gauntlets +2 and 5/5 merits in Angon, this can be set to 17%.
While the last change may make Angon 'weaker' it won't actually because Pierced will allow Angon to stack with say Tourbillion or Acid Bolt or other 'Defense Down" abilities players have including Spirit Surge+Jump, thus increasing the percentage of a mob's Defense a player can lower. Additionally to separate 'Defense Down' from 'Pierced', 'Pierced' status will give the target a weakened 'Critical Defense Bonus' thus allowing the target to sustain more damage when receiving Critical Hits.
