DevTalk: Correlate Cooperation Strongly to DPS to Encourage Teamwork!(SkillChains2.0)

[Physic]

after messing with BR a bit in small groups, all i can say is synergy wise, its awesome damage wise, its worth it, speed of kill also worth it.
Special looking effects, uhhhhh they should definately increase that.

Its pretty easy and fast to execute a 2 or 3 man chain. since anyone can start it, if people take too long you just unleash. since for WS-WS it multiplies your dmg by 1.5 with boosts on your strong Ws its pretty impressive, throw blood weapon and you got a full heal.
After awhile of playing, you can tell when someone is about to BR, they start doing boosting skills, then you can cue a quick WS to increase their dmg 1.5
problem is, it works really well with the stamina system, by using BRs when your stamina is coming back, you can lose no DPS or action time at all. You can randomly cue a BR when you are low on stamina and wait to see if anyone wants to join while your stamina builds up. if no one does you can just let one loose and all you got is a full stamina bar.

thing is, now that stamina and manual attack is going away, it will actually be losing dps, not to mention trying to land buffs with it will very tricky or weird depending on how they execute it.

le sigh, i will miss the manual/stamina system methinks.

Sooo how to do it without stamina, just letting people put in actions without stopping other actions is a simple solution, problem is, how will that work with buffs?
If they go back to the old SC system, you will probably only be able to get one buff before the window ends, and no one else will be able to WS, until the whole SC is complete also it takes out the possibilities of debuffs like we had. and other techniques for say buffs and etc from being added.

Honestly i would probably give up the buffs, for BR with a chrontrigger/cross like special abilities. some would just be you doing the attack after the other with extra dmg.effects, but certain combinations could be cool skills, built around 2 to 3 man combinations

but ehhhh still some problems.

well i was thinking the same thing, one way to go around this is to change the buffing abbilities a bit like raging strike and ferocity to be up for certain period of time like berserk did in FF XI so even if you attack with other abbilities you can still have the buff up
