Theoretical Rush Rework

*Hoping Devs see this!

I think rush needs a rework. It's a pretty lame T4 skill honestly. Its like the devs got SUPER lazy and couldn't come up with any ideas. Seems like they did a poor job with all of the T4 skills, one good one and one lame one. (with the exception of Swords)


My Idea for a rush rework. Instead of a damage skill, it would be a dope buff.

I call it THUNDER THIGHS

5% Motion speed + AGI/25 Motion Speed (+5 more motion speed for knucks)
Running speed increase by 25% (50% for knuckers)
75% Damage increase to Sonic Wave and Earth bind (+25% more for Knucks)
Triple Kick Crit damage Increase +25 (+25 more for knuckers)

Draw Back, Drains MP at 1mp bar/sec

 

Personally I really like Rush and I use it over chariot. I onlyuse chariot when i want to be away from the enemy but I really like using Rush. I prefer mixed row battles.
And since Chariot is a Kamehameha from DBZ, Rush is Oraoraoraora.
I personally think Chakra is the one that needs a bit of help more than Rush.

 

Thunder Thighs..
I see you're a man of culture as well.

 

I've mentioned it on another thread that I like the idea that T4 skills are something that would be: 1 ultimate attack, 1utility skill and the other one is a T3 enhancing skill. It shows the flashes of them having great compatibility and consistency for example, the tenryu ransei:zannou concept and garyou Tensei skill stack. Crossfire and Snipe or Magic:burst's magic skill stack.

The idea is to encourage the use of T3 skills instead of them being scrapping them altogether after you obtain access to T4 skills. As we can see triple kick and heavy smash had its time as powerfull DPS skils(even as hybrid).

My idea is they should make chariot something like garyou Tensei where you stack Katana skill to unleash huge damage, instead make it martial art skill, make it something like your fist would have an energy aura like crossfire's charge indicator, and then unleash it as a huge ass kamehameha. Rush should give some kind of buff to triple kick and heavy smash. As for Chakra make it a passive that increases ampr and crit after each use of martial art skills

 

Yes lets have Knuckles and Fu builds feel the pain of Disconnect Stack Loss.
As a Bow + Katana I get both of the pains when I disconnect and I lose my CF 5/5 and Garyou 10/10.
Though as you said, I would like to see that happen, maybe Chakra can increase the ailment rate and a skill could add stacks based on how many ailments you do onto the enemy. For end bosses though it wont be that good.
I do feel like the amount of interruption and physical debilitation of knuckles is amazing but loses its luster in the newer bosses. Maybe if the can see more of Knuckles being able to do a large amount of fast hits and interruptions being able to culminate into a giant attack (one punch) then I would be more interested in it.
Smash (Flinch) Bash (Stun) Shell Break (Armour Break) Heavy Smash (Lethargy) Chariot (Fear) Sonic Wave (Tumble) Earthbind (Stop)
That's already 7 and you can probably get more from other skill trees so I can see that being a thing Knuckles can really benefit from.

 

Meteor Smash, we need that after triple kick or could have branched upward from Heavysmash. ^_^

 

give rush :
a perfect aim
bonus motion speed*2 (10sec)
100 dodge (10sec)
inflict paralysis (10sec)

this way rush will sync with chakra.

 

honestly i like the TT skill desc, but i feel like rush should inflict silence, only having to deal with enemy phys, crit or perfect aim attacks would greatly increase FLEE users survivability. I literally dont get hit by any bosses except those with magic. Additionally I feel like they should just leave the t4 skills alone and make t5 already
