Notes2
My thanks to Silverleafeon, for the Lost Trees Project.
I used that for inspiration, and borrowed quite heavily from its design philosophy.
However, I felt the beacon angel was too closely copied from radiant and aov. I wanted a soul that complimented its own trees and brought forth new possibilities. This is more a hybrid of sla and healing, so that depending on flavor, you could spec either way.
It is a heal amp build. To synergize with radiant. One to heal, one to boost heals. While still maintaining either damage or heals. But heavily influenced along rezzing lines.
A pure angel of charity will have a +20 p/mrr, +5 saves, and +100 heal amp. Aura. ?*Plus mass true Rez. He will be a beacon of hope (for party wipes).?*

This thread needs a shift to: Classes > Favored Soul

People who want to discuss FvS builds would absolutely miss this thread.

[Vish]

Nothing but crickets over there

I would like to leave this open for all to see
To promote discussion
Because its a new tree, and in development

Not everyone has access to specialized forums.

[duntduntduuun]

A healing focused tree in a game where no one needs a focused healer seems pointless to me.

Core 2 1ap lvl 3 vibrancy. +1 to haggle for each core

Not to be too means but that's a terrible core 2


Core 3 1ap lvl 6 alchemist. can craft healers kits into CSW pots

Terrible core 3, because you can buy CSW pots. Change this to potions of Heal/Reconstruction and it got cool factor, but only if you can freely trade the potions, change it to potions of cure critical wounds and it's a little less powerful but gives something useful still that barbs and fighters would want to buy as a stopgap until they get Destiny healing twists in place. if you can't freely trade the pots then it's stupid because you can already cast the spells with great spell power so who cares about pots. Then the only problem is: everyone makes a Heal/CCW pot crafting mule.

Core 4 2ap lvl 12 embracing the light
heighten

what this means?

Core 5 2ap lvl 18 penetrating the darkness

also don't know what this means, not everyone knows what you're flavor text is implying

Core 6 2ap lvl 20 all stand up
Mass true resurrection 50sp

this capstone looks terrible, mass res is useless gathering people up for a mass res is a good way to wipe.


Tree 1 the light within
11

a bunch of SLA's that belong in the Angel of Vengence tree, and no DPS (crits and spell power in this tree) seems very misplaced.

Tree 2 aura of hope

Auras seem to be a bad idea in this game but not a bad buff idea

Tier 5 3ap beacon of hope
Aura Add Heal amp 20/40/70 plus fav soul level
Offers raise dead to party members within its radius
11


Automatic raise dead is brokenly OP it would be broken/exploity at core 20 but especially at T5, I see raids with "need 1 Jesus build then we go". Or multi boxing with your 12 spot taken by your Horc Chest blessing Jesus build that you park so people can auto-raise themselves.


Tier 5 3ap +10/20/30 to spell damage multiplier

Probably needs to be in cores but okay


Warpriest tier 2 fav weapon add wisdom to hit
Warpriest tier 3 fav weapon add wisdom to damage
Warpriest tier 4 fav weapon add charisma to wisdom. Divine presence

Okay but without Crit range and Multiplier Divine melee's might as well not exist, if they want to balance it make it for Deity favored weapons only (but expand the selection at least a little Gnomes, Horcs and Dwarves currently have no racially flavored deity weapons for example) if they want to do it a little differently then give a T5 Multiplier and a Core 18 Multiplier and no range, this is less powerful than 1 range and 1 multiplier.

last nitpick cores cost 1ap not 2.

Fireworks for the Fourth
Oh say can you see...
Or not, with these SLAs

Tier2 2ap
Produce flame
5sp
Meta: maximize, empower, enlarge, quicken, intensify
Flames as bright as a torch appear in your open hand and launch toward your foes.
They do 1d2+2 fire damage per favored soul level.
Scales with fire
75-100

Tier3 3ap
Sunbolt
single target
level 3 spell
12/9/6
Meta: empower, eschew, heighten, maximize, quicken, intensify
A powerful bolt of light deals 1d4+4 light damage per favored soul level to a single target. A successful Reflex save reduces the damage by half.
Scales with light
125-200

Tier4 3ap
Sunbeam
Cone
Level 6 spell
25/20/15
Meta: empower, eschew, heighten, maximize, quicken, intensify
A beam of brilliant light flashes out from your hand in a 5-foot-wide, 60-foot-line.
Each creature in the line must make a Will saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 6d8/9d10/12d12 light damage and is blinded for 1 round. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and isn’t blinded by this spell.?*
Scales with light
48-144

Tier5 3ap
Sunburst
Aoe
Level 8 spell
50/40/30
Meta: empower, eschew, heighten, maximize, quicken, intensify
Brilliant sunlight flashes in a 60-foot radius centered on caster.
Each creature in that light must make a Will saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 12d6/16d8/20d10 light damage and is blinded for 3 rounds. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and isn’t blinded by this spell.
A creature blinded by this spell makes another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, it is no longer blinded.
This spell dispels any darkness in its area that was created by a spell.
Scales with light
72-200

Hmmm. Time to stuff some socks.
Design philosophy. What makes it worthwhile to bring 2 divines to a raid. This has to be the balance.
Mostly to cover a melee army, with one radiant and one charity, they would have overlapping auras that's greatly promotes hot. With big fields you can counter one shots.
That's what divines have to offer.
This was healing specced because that is province of divine, and the missing tree, and base was borrowed heavy from lost trees, which was even more heal specced. I made it more about aura heals and added some firepower. Because its like a combination of radiant and disciple.
If you don't build it they won't come. That being said, if you want to see a support role, then you have to put it into the game. The deal here is really whether wisdom conversion will enter the play, and where it will come from. A game changer for divine melee, which is where it's needed.

A charming personality, good at barter
But really, most of the old trees are scaled only for heroic, for a 20 endgame. But now we got 30, and if it don't scale it's considered worthless. So the new trees, see warlock, are overpowered and able to deal with the epic game. And gear makes the diff for legendary.

Lvl6 useful skill. Kinda the joke of the design. Need to put all those healers kits to use.

For someone who seems to know some meta and endgame, this is obvious.
As is the next. Two metas, back to back. Something on the power of heighten, for free adds on the SLA, and improved spell casting. Thinking max for endgame. That would be like the gods favor.

This would assume the party is wiped and offers a panic button. For 50sp can be spammed for casual gamers.
True Rez brings everybody back to full...
And the stat adds are op to reflect what's needed. A three split.

Don't belong in aov because they're here. This tree is a compliment of aov.

I was thinking of a real player when I designed this. For endgame a raise dead won't do you much. Why the mass Rez, or even spelled or ED for single tgt. Otherwise you get an aura rise from lvl 12 on. Free level 5 spell. And gets team used to rallying to fav soul. Like a beacon and refuge, get it?

Ya, this is the cherry.

I would agree to multiplier on the favored weapon. And then expand the host. And perhaps a range. But keep it in tier. Cores are for cross classing.

Hey, some fruit is expensive, and the creep is in.

[Vish]

Guess I'll work on monks

Since the AoC has met with deafening silence

[kemetka]

this to me reads like somone who really likes the cleric's light side of Divine Disciple, but desperately wants it to be in the favored soul class.

As Was noted, most of AoC is borrowed from the Lost Trees project.
In that tree, we're the SLAs, and even heavier lifting from cleric radiant. So there's is the group credit for forming the disciple look.
I found what was lacking in fav soul was damage and healing, so I included an aura and lifted the SLAs. Then I jacked damage for light, and added spell pen.
So I figure new fav soul would be primarily AoC with AoV splashed in. Should make a pretty potent pure favored soul.

Patience is a virtue,
But so is DPS

Here's to the devs and PC for taking a good hard look

I would love to play this flavor,
And it would duo well with radiant divines

Everyone keeps complaining of support and group roles

Well, here it is

[Vish]

Bump for u34

One thing to add
I didn't realize the sun line slas are core divine disciple
So I would change their names
To lightbolt, lightbeam, and Lightburst
I already changed their descriptions
Another idea could be to scale them with positive

And one more thing to realize
That by putting forth ideas for new trees in a public forum
You won't have those ideas implemented
Because that would just be too obvious
(would I get TP for that? Lolz)
But heres hoping.

[Steve_Howe]

g & r

Still this.

[Atremus]

What are the chances that AoV will get a make over at the same time?

Uncapping MCL's or improving them somehow
Removing the 50% reduction on the Archon
Adding some PRR into the cores
Granting an additional SLA somewhere in the cores

Ascendancy = +4 CHA? Wish it also included +2 or +4 WIS.

[Vish]

I imagine for the soul pass
Will be a new tree
And revamp to warpriest and aov

Bump for u36 post
Here's was mine tankage on fvs
I would say disregard the SLA line,
And pay attention to the new aura
That gives saves heal amp and free raise dead.
Quite synergistic to radiant cleric,
And built with, now, reaper in mind

I, for one, am happy you do not design enhancement trees for this game.

[Vish]

And what do you offer?

Critique of something you prob don't have the skill to understand
Or produce

There is art
And there are art critiques
