I'm not particularly in an arguing mood, but I believe that in this iteration of the game, AP stacking is something that has quickly become a must-have amongst top-tier players. At one point, I recall admin being rather strict about things of this nature, especially since it could become bonkers if someone were to have too much of it...However, I find that the admin-hand has been rather lax as of late. And has generally turned a blind eye to most of the spells that need adjustments and nerfs...And instead, usually focuses on things that don't need shit at all. So, allow me to poke around a bit.
1. Quite frankly, cosmic is just too good not to have. Say what you want, but despite the tree being rather expensive, there is no reason NOT to have cosmic- and at this rate, I'd even go as far as to say that Cosmic is better to dabble into(for holy magi) than holy...Considering the amount of ground that it covers...Because not only does it have lovely damage, but brilliant utility- so let's poke at the core issues here.
Cosmic slow is too oppressive. It was one thing for Cosmic to slow heavily and do little damage, but it's another for it to simply outclass all other aoes by nearly making someone move at walking pace. It's absolutely unfair.
Taking Invigorate off of Cosmic Beam- from my experience, this further buffed the tree. You now have an unpredictable nuke that you can fire off at any given time without the need to use invigorate. Big mistake from what I can say.
AP Stacking: Cosmic inherently AP stacks. 80% of the hiddens that cosmic possesses has some sort of AP tied into it's abilities, which makes stacking it way too easy. (Armed users, I'm most certainly looking at you). It is not difficult to possess invigorate, blade style, rage potion, and the aura(intermediate), and the hidden blade style to quite literally, be resting arooounnd 28-40%. It's actually quite bonkers.
I believe that something needs to be done about Cosmic. And the way blade styles further interact, because I do feel as if Cosmic becomes terribly oppressive, even moreso, when it's used in tandem with trees that make accessing AP that much easier.
(PS, if you don't fix this, I'll make something unbeatable. Promise.)
With this being said, here are a few suggestions:
1. Lower the damage of Cosmic Aoe, Keep the slow?
2. Nerf the slow and Damage on Cosmic Aoe.
3. Lower the amount of AP gained on invigorate, increase the duration.
4. Lower the amount of AP gained on advanced styles(I definitely feel as if it's overkilled. They're all so easy to get.)
5. If you're going to keep Nova ray as it is, bring back the invigorate lock. If not...Nerf it too.
6. Lower AP gains all across the board. It's too much, even on occult...Game cancer.
7. Why do all cosmic intermediates give so much ap? Nerf them. ToL the exalted only gives 8% and they give like..10-20% bich wtf??

Warning: If you try to divert the attention of this topic away from cosmic, I'll flame u...stinkies. You all know cosmic and armed used in tandem is a big problem. They need adjusting!...dont u dare try to defend them.
