Drill Buff

Discussion in 'Suggestions & Ideas' started by dual_chiecken, Aug 19, 2014.

  1. First off I would like to credit @Skinney and @makmoud98
    For helping out with the idea

    So since drills can do fire damage and they are now builder only I think they should be able to set fire to wooden blocks

    They can also be a reliable weapon for a small amount of defense

    Not a bad idea by any means! This could be a nice buff that would be great for builders! :builder:

    I don't hate the idea, but fire is supposed to be archer niche. Just make drills more durable to stabs and slashes so it doesn't break so easily, and I'd call that a good buff.

    It would make sense only when they're overheating.

    Meh. Now drills are incredibly overpowered.
    It can get through stone perfectly already, but now when it hits wood, it'll overheat and set fire to the wood, thus making both wood and stone useless.

    You have a valid point, but what's preventing an archer from buying bomb and fire arrows and doing the same thing?

    Well, that would be 80 coins instead of 100 stone and 35 coins.
    And its not like you can easily farm 80 coins in the time it takes you to get 35 coins and 100 stone.

    Nice rebuttal :)

    It only takes a little bit of time to place all the 30 stone and 100 wood you are given as a builder. This will grant you coins which doesn't take too long to get to 80 coins, especially if you have already been fighting! I do see your point about it being cheaper as a builder tho!

    Maybe increase the cost of drills, or let them start fires and make the drill be destroyed once the fire has started?
     
  9. Perhaps, it can spread to 1-3 block radius, does seem op also make it higher amt of coins to approximately 100 coins?

    This also prevents people in the beginning in games from drilling all stone

    I would love a drill buff but I don't think this is needed. The drill just got a nerf for being too effective against most blocks.
    If anything I'd like to see a buff in combat capabilities.

    A few examples would be increased attack speed, the damage starting sooner, or a minor damage increase when overheating(which already happens but I think a little more damage would work well).

    I agree, this would work wonders for battle builders
     
  12. How about if we can get drills

    To not get caught on grass, do more damage, but less durability and startup to attack faster
    OR
    Sets 1-2 blocks on fire (spreads 1-2 blocks) same durability, and will deal fire damage (chance to set enemies on fire)

    Not sure I want drills to be more powerful in combat, but fire damage when overheating to players (not blocks) sounds nice. Overuse it and the equipped builder will get burned too, I presume?
