Its not about being "near death" that turns me off. Its about the process of "Going down the threshold".
When I play casters I get LAEK for sustain. So when I play bloodzon I cast balefire to burn hp for spell damage, yet after killing few mobs my LAEK lifts me to full orb again therefore losing the bonus so I need to go down yet again for bonus and then lose it again. Lose gain lose gain. Gaining the bonus takes more effort than losing it via LAEK. The process is tedious.
And please don't tell me that I should be contented with just max life given by bachanallia and forgo the other bonuses. You wouldnt want Superbeast to lose the his mega cast rate or spell damage if it were designed same as bachanallia would you?

If I get rid of LAEK then whats going to sustain me against mob damage? Hp potion? Oh please no. We dont have bottomless belts that can hold unli potions. Besides potion brings you to full health. So you have to burn yet again sigh. Is there a potion there somewhere that only heals you upto 75% of you hp only? :D :mrgreen:

If only bachanallia works like a buff wherein when you meet the requirement you gain a buff that last for like 10 or 5 or whatever seconds which gives you a grace period to maintain your red bulb. (Or is this how it works currently? IDK)

Im not good at explaining and my english is bad yes I know. I dont know why Im explaining, Im fine with bloodzon now although I think it can get better, its the holy caster being trumped by unholy caster that concerns me.


Well.. to start things off.. Bacchanalia's bonuses don't come until you hit 1/3 HP, not 3/4..

And I understand what you're saying, but this was all done in conscious creation of the developers because there are many "bloodzon-specific" items, so to speak, in the game that drain % life per second to compensate for the "lose gain" thing you were talking about, for example:
The Seal of Kharos
The Seal of Kharos
Ring

Required Level: 60
Item Level: 80
+(1 to 2) to Amazon Skill Levels
25% Cast Speed
+(16 to 25)% to Physical/Magic Spell Damage
+(11 to 15)% to Fire Spell Damage
+(11 to 15)% to Summoned Minion Life
-50 Life Regenerated per Second
or
Kharos' Bloodskull
. You can also look at the full Bloodzon set, which makes all of your spells cost life instead of mana.

There are many ways to make use of Bacchanalia's bonuses without having to just sit and cast Balefire endlessly. The thing is though, if you've watched any of Brackans streams, you don't even need the bonuses to do well enough through gameplay and charms/bosses. Bloodzon is strong enough with high spell damage and pierce, like any other caster. You just get the benefit of the uberskill AND added bonuses to your skills from Bacchanalia. I'd say just wait til he finishes his guide, then you can read through it to see if you like it or not.

That low hp requirement is a unique thing in mxl. I really love this design. If bloodzon doesn't have that requirement then why you call it bloodzon? BLOODzon without any thing related to "blood/hp mechanic"?

The passive is still strong even with only that hp bonus. A spellcaster with more than 25k hp is not a joke and now you want it gives those bonuses without any requirements:
Image
Around 300% spell damage, 150% max life with only 1 passive? lol :lol: . Brackans bloodzon usually has around 26k hp and you still have around 8k hp to meet the requirements. Is 8k hp low? Don't think so ;)

Zon has recieved a huge buff about fcr. They cast really fast with 1 hand weapon and 1 shield. IIRC suchbalance said its breakpoint is 5 => you already got "superbeast". And the bonus spell damage will come from SOV: more than 250% spell damage and 25% max life (yes max life again). You complain about Superbeast but you don't realize you already have it :).

Without requirement from bachanallia you will get around 550% spell damage + 200% max life with just bachanallia and SOV. Then the next ladders will be full of ̶b̶̶l̶̶o̶̶o̶̶d̶Lavazon :lol:

not sure if this is the right forum to post this in but wondering if there are any chances of a holiday ladder reset? Christmas time is the only time of the year i have some extra game time all year so it would be fucking awesome. even with family stuff going on i can usually sneak away for a couple hours at night and get some gaming in.

just wondering :D

He was responding to the kid who was complaining about bloodzon not being good enough without bacchanalia (same kid also thought it was below 75%).

Oh wow, we could have decent discussion and I willingly admit that I'm wrong but to actually resort to name calling? KID? Im done.
I didn't know this forum has toxic posters too. You and your kind are whats gonna discourage new forumers from posting in the forums.
Does this forum even have rules for flaming?

Apologies for not doing a background check on your life. Kid is a generic term, not derogatory. No toxicity here. Please drink a beer and calm yourself.
