AEROCHEMANTICS - WINDWALK

Syntax: AEROCAST WINDWALK
        WINDWALK, DESCEND
As the sky is the home to all aeromancers, you can simply walk on the
winds and be at home among the clouds. Also, you will be immune from

yourself that will last one Lusternian day. When you focus your field
upon a target, they will be periodically shocked by the energies.

AEROCHEMANTICS - CONDUCTIVE

         Syntax: ENGINEER CONDUCTIVE AMPLIFIER
         Outlay: silver 10
                 stratus 100
Damage Modifier: 20 electrical (buff)

       Syntax: AEROWORK CATALYST CLOUDKILL
        Power: 5 (Matrix)
  Damage Type: 50% Electric, 50% Asphyxiation

the resulting product will cause damage to all enemies in your room as
well as warping time around them in a delayed blast.

AEROCHEMANTICS - ALTOSTRATUS

Syntax: AEROWORK ALTOSTRATUS FIELD
Outlay: altostratus 1

You are now able to transmute the altostratus reagent. By releasing the
altostratus reagent from your batteries you can create a field around
yourself that will last one Lusternian day. When you focus your field
upon a target, the particles in your field will passively cause asthma.

AEROCHEMANTICS - DYNOMATIC

Syntax: AEROWORK DYNOMATIC CLOUD
Outlay: silver 50
        stratus 100
        altostratus 100

You can release a cloud of spinning particles around you using your

altostatus fields, the resulting product will cause damage to all
enemies in your room. The implosion will cause extra damage to those who
are dizzy, sensitive, asthmatic, epileptic, or suffering from aeon. The
sheer force of the implosion will stun your enemies with those who
suffer from the above afflictions being stunned longer.

AEROCHEMANTICS - STATIC

Syntax: AEROWORK STATIC FIELD
        AEROWORK STATIC DISCHARGE (to remove)
Outlay: cirrus 10
        stratus 10

location may be flung away, stunned, and knocked asprawl. Enemies who
attack you may suffer the same fate. This field will weaken over time
and will fade away completely after a Lusternian day.

Lorina

JEALOUS :<
Very cool skillset! I like the overall look and theme for this one! Go go engineers!

Llandros

Reflexive aeon and lazer beams. Sounds like good times to me.

Xeriel

ok...this makes me definitely want to consider switching to the aeromancers.....if ever you wanted a technomage, here ya go

Karlach

So Vacuum is the new Glinsharibomb!

Seriously though, that's one hell of a skillset. Static looks to be amazing crowd control, and there's a lot of roomwide damage in there too, hopefully this will get people to consider trying Halli and start an org resurrection.

Moi

Oh, man. This is super cool.

Veyrzhul

Off balance, aeon, stun and forced-move/stun/prone as passives on enemy attacks look nasty. Question is what the chance for each to fire is. Definitely a very nice skillset-theme, though.

Lerad

I see we're slowly upping the game on pissing off monks and one-handers. Now there's not only 2 passive combo breakers, but also a trans skill to do that as well. I'm looking forward to the pyros getting 4 passive combo breakers and a trans skill that spams combo users with a big smiley face showing off their middle finger.

Vacuum looks even more potent than Glinshari. I almost feel sorry for the Aquas. They get 3 (or was it 4? I can't remember if the first sheen gave pacifism or ego drain) of their 5 boostable affs from their uncontrollable passives, removing any chance of them applying it strategically. On the other hand, Glinshari get faeriefire (lol) for one of their boostable affs while Vacuum gets 3 out of 5 of their boostable affs from their 10sec, unblockable fields. Of course, doesn't make these afflictions any easier to stick, but w/e.

Enyalida

Let's get numbers on that static ability, it seems hilarious. You can run away from people... and if they track you, they only hurt themselves and you run away again! Hahaha.

Kialkarkea

Entrias levels his beam generator at a shambling zombie, unleashing arcs of lightning that rake his body with burning lances of energy.

It's not a laser, it's an ion rifle.

Portius

If I wasn't the Institute's administrator and I had the lessons to burn, I would seriously consider switching guilds to get at this. I can't speak for the combat factor, but I think whoever did the design on this absolutely nailed the flavor.

Shaddus

The flavour text for applying FocalTip is fantastic. Just saying.

Akyaevin

On-attack offbal, stun and aeon, plus a chance to knockdown, stun and fling away enemies who attack or enter. What could go wrong?

Shaddus

Three Aerochemantics could take out any team with triple Cloudkill. War Seal for the win.

Tulemrah

Two questions. Why is it not called Aeromechanics, and why did this have to happen on moving day? I would also like to note that silver is one of Halli's lowest stocked comms.

Because we wanted the opportunity to twirl our mustache and laugh caustically in your general direction.

(Or because those are just the way the dice roll, and we don't look at your comm stocks, we prefer the '-chemantics' theme, because you aren't Aeromechanics but Aerochemancers, and why did you plan your moving day on our Aerochemantics release day?)

Ushaara

No % rates to back up this claim, but I don't foresee the dynomatic (aeon) cloud being a problem since it'd need to fire twice in quick succession to get past quicksilver.

Biggest unique to aerochem issue likely to be forcewall.

Shaddus

Dear Magnagora/Gaudiguch/Glomdoring;

Please start stocking up on iron/gold/souls of children.

Karlach

Is that in order of materials the same as the order of the orgs you listed?

Shaddus

Pretty much.

Shaddus

Aside from the obvious glom joke, I'm pretty sure the other comms are right.

Akyaevin

We have Jerica. We'll be fine.

Elanorwen

I foresee a triple aero team next week.

Malayn

So how powerful is forcewall? Can you gust the user past? How do you stop it? How can you get through?

If its 100% stops all movement through, including trying to move the user that would be nuts. I am hoping its like windwall, % chance to stop.

Enyalida

Try double Cloudkill, or even single. A cloudkill with no affs was wiping me out for 97% health.

Ushaara

Way past my bedtime and was focused more on getting the lines out so if someone else hasn't fully tested forcewall, will do tomo, but initial impression is very powerful for group, not useable solo.

Seemed to be 100% entry/exit prevention, prevents tumble in that direction but doesn't stop if raised after initiated, pogo was bypassing it but waiting for bug resolution there. Didn't check gusting past, and imagine anything that makes the user do -anything- will drop it.

Can't wait for the "Use the Force!" clan call though!

Elanorwen

The ugly bit will be if forcewall holders can be salted while holding forcewall, though I think abilities that go over the wall will still be able to go over it... hence pogo, possibly stag leap and acro backflip.

Alacardael

Can we, like, use silk. We have 80k of the stuff

Bollocks, I was looking forward to mass infanticide.

On a seriousnote, what's the actual damage numbers of cloudkill and against what resistances?

Elanorwen

Cloudkill says Elec/Asphyx at 50/50 rate, so it might not be too bad with hold breath... and if you're like me and have the nice 15 resist elec curio.
