Providing trigger chance and attack damage scaling off spell damage is a unique effect, I'm not sure I understand the role the tower is intended to play. The spell amplification effect is fairly weak and inconsistent compared to other, similar towers (Black Dragon Roost, Skeleton Wizard both around 30% damage amplification not limited to spells), and doesn't cooperate with the idea of giving additional attack damage to a spell tower.
I think the buff is a very cool way to make a spell carry turn into a hybrid carry. A more standout version of Volatile Inscription could really make this tower pop. I don't like criticizing without providing ideas, so here are the only ones I thought of;
-The buff stacks
-In addition to amplifying spells, it reduces armour (to support the hybrid style)
-Instead of amplifying spells, it works like a reverse Vol'Jin malediction where it turns spell damage dealt into [magic] damage when the buff expires
-It's a skink style buff that has towers around it applying the effect instead

Mind Allocator v6

Post by Moppy »

Mind Allocator has been updated to v6!

Author's reason for this update:

The tower was indeed designed as a support to turn spell carries into hybrids. I've taken some suggestions into consideration:

- Adjusted tower model (was too big according to region editor).
- Reduced ability factor.
- Reduced base attack speed.
- Changed attack projectile

Cognitive Imprint:
- Increased attack damage bonus based on bonus spell damage.
- Reworked code: Initially, it only modified event damage dealt. Now, it actually modifies the buffed tower's attack damage. Doesn't reduce attack damage if the buffed tower's spell damage is below 100%.

Sundering Inscription:
- Renamed ability
- It now additionally reduces armor%

Useful buff for hybrids. Spell towers won't have high ability factor (or attack based abilities) to make much use of it.

See suggestion made for kettle tower.

Decent on hit effect.

Not too expensive.

Luminary Projector family now additionally converts part of target tower's attack damage into spell damage. Mind Allocator should now synergize quite well with that.
