Just read the grimoire card.

The result was a weapon that would feed on its owner’s aggression—reaching further when angry eyes drew focus, its hunger rising as it tore through bone and flesh.

Replace rangefinder with this perk:

This weapon grows more accurate and does more damage the longer it is fired (up to ~200%)

If that doesn't reward mindless aggression, I don't know what does.

Since I just joined this forum, I couldn't possibly have seen that.

I don't really have one that fits perfectly. Damn.

Hah, still made me laugh aloud!

I'm guessing it should be called... (reply)

...the Necrogasm?

Sorry, everyone. Truly.

Increase rate of fire, larger mag, and done. Let'er rip boys!

A maximum of +10% boost to damage and health might start to approach reasonable levels. +100% is just crazy talk and would be game breaking.

In PvP, you take a lot of damage very quickly. It would not take much to bring you back to normal. Plus, you are forgetting about the opposite end: where you take so much damage that you now have a pea shooter.

It would take time to build to 200%. 5% of 14 is .7. That's how much health you'd gain on the first shot. You are looking at putting 50 something headshots just to get to 200% in the first place. Can you do that without taking damage? If you can, then you definitely deserve the boost, and the opponents deserve what they get for letting you get there.

It balances out. Remember, Necrochasm at 100% damage sucks ass.

Dead on. (reply)

Leave it to f%&$ing Garry's Mod.

So this, but with alcohol soaked gummy bears, Funkmon?

There's a pair of boots the soldier wears that allow your rocket launcher to deal more damage the closer you are to being dead. It had it's day, some good side effects like rocket jumping and then dealing extra damage from unexpected positions. But IIRC it was balanced enough that it wasn't any more or less powerful overall than anything else.

You know, like Gjallarhorn. ;)

Meh. The extremes are far too extreme. After a few hits the gun is suddenly doing +33% damage... that's a Weapons of Light level increase just for landing a few shots! The interplay between doing damage and receiving damage might actually be pretty interesting to ponder but all someone really needs to do is get in a little damage and they are suddenly god-like. Remember, Pulse Rifles moved from unused to potent with a mere +9.7% increase in damage... and you're setting the top end boost at +100%?! While the player is twice as tough?! It would take a rocket or a super to kill you... if the enemy could get close enough, which would be one heck of a big if.

A maximum of +10% boost to damage and health might start to approach reasonable levels. +100% is just crazy talk and would be game breaking.

It's actually a 9th degree polynomial function. Here you go. (reply)

TBH, I think the concept sounds fun. Use of cover and surprise attacks would be crucial.

I'm sure the exact numbers would need tweaking for balance, but I don't really see a problem with the basic function.

Meh (reply)

dogcow — Tue, 31 Mar 2015 02:09:57 +0000

You deal less damage as you are getting shot? I don't think that would work very well at all. At the very least it would be time-consuming to balance.

I'd be interested to try one out who's damage was the inverse of my health. The question is, how do you balance a gun like that and at what point do the two lines intersect? 100% health? 50% health?

We'll call it: the Nyancatchasm. (reply)

This could actually be a thing in Borderlands.
