Which version of this skill is better #2
By: doomlord Date: August 18, 2012, 5:51 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Here are the two descriptions of an ability that we are going to
make. Choose the better one and state your reason(s) clearly.
[hr]
FIRST IDEA
Fradz utilizes magical lightning to power up his blades. The
next attack is enhanced with bonus attack damage, a Life Steal
buff and a purge effect that immobilizes the target during the
first 2 seconds and slows it afterwards. Purged units will
slowly regain their movement speed over the next 3 seconds. The
buff lasts for 7 seconds or 1 attack. Bonus attack damage and
Life Steal amount is improved with ability level. Life Steal
amount is about 50~100% of the damage. The Life Steal stacks
with other life steal effects.
[hr]
SECOND IDEA
Fradz utilizes magical lightning to power up his blades. The
next attack will deal (triggered) bonus damage and restore some
HP for Fradz. Additionally there will be a purge effect that
immobilizes the target during the first 2 seconds and slows it
afterwards. Purged units will slowly regain their movement speed
over the next 3 seconds. The buff lasts for 7 seconds or 1
attack. Bonus damage and heal is improved with ability level.
The Heal amount is about 50~100% of the damage.

I would choose the Second description because if I understand
right it means that for the extra damage Fradz deals with this
ability he gets healed. (sample he deals 200dmg and get a heal
for 200 himself?)
The First description does not say how much Fradz get healed.
Another small change in words I would change:
Additionally a purge effect immobilizes the target during the
first 2 seconds and slowing it.
instead of
A purge effect will also come to play, immobilizing the target
during the first 2 seconds and slowing it.

Thanks for the correction @ Doomlord and show some mercy to
non-native english speaker ;)

The Life Steal rate starts at 30~40% and each level improves the
rate by 5%.
[quote]Additionally a purge effect immobilizes the target during
the first 2 seconds and slowing it.[/quote]
Wrong grammar usage. It should be 'slows' not 'slowing'. The
phrase following the conjunction 'Additionally' is wrong too. It
should be 'Additionally there will be a purge effect blah blah
blah'. Here is the correction that I made:
[quote]Additionally there will be a purge effect that
immobilizes the target during the first 2 seconds and slows it
afterwards.[/quote]

Hey doom, you should explain more how these options are
different from each other.
First idea:
- The damage is increased by "green numbers" which means basic
attack damage.
- The life steal goes something like 50% to 100%(of the attack
damage) depending of the level of the spell.
Second idea:
- The damage is counted(something like level + stats, etc.)
- The heal amount is also counted depending of the damage. It is
something like 50% or 100% of the damage.

A few more notes in addition to the ones posted by Aero.
First idea:
- The Life Steal stacks with other life steal effects (it is an
aura)
- The damage bonus won't be as big as in the second idea's
because your attack damage is counted as well
Second idea:
- The bonus damage is better than the first idea's because it is
triggered and doesn't include your own attack damage

Second idea: I will take extra damage over nifty lifesteal
anytime, as healing skills plus regenerations are enough to keep
up with.
