New troop: VOLCANO MAGE!

[DaScavenger]

Thanks, but if you want to bump this thread I prefer you make an actual contribution like asking questions, making suggestions, tweaking stats, as I don't want this thread to be closed from bumping by OTHER people.

Doing these things will both bring my idea to the top if you like, and give me a chance to respond so people can understand this idea better. Maybe you can even suggest some strategies to use this with

This idea seems great now. I would like to see how this troop would work in an actual attack as well. It would definitely change the way people defend and attack.

WIZARD they have mostly every thing in common they have the outfit the pose they have the same ability they both shot fire but after all its a good idea

He didn't make the artwork.. And the abilities are very different, look at the thread again

How big is the 'Small damage boost' when units are placed near the Volcano Mage? Couldn't find that anywhere.

Anyways, I think the damage boost should be slightly nerfed and the attack slightly buffed
My idea:
Level 1: 80 percent
Level 2: 100 percent
Level 3: 120 percent
DPS:
Level 1: 20
Level 2: 25
Level 3: 30

Thanks, I agree

Um, I'm going to let Jim Bob explain this because I was going to go off on a big long paragraph about this

Exactly. You handled this much better than I would have

How big is the 'Small damage boost' when units are placed near the Volcano Mage? Couldn't find that anywhere.

Equal to half of the Volcano Mage's damage boost. (130% damage boost, 65% small damage boost)

Cool And I will think about this, but remember that I want to have level 3 to have a big jump and stats and make this troop less reliant on damage and more reliant on damage INCREASING. But I will take this into consideration, thanks

And nice, 800 replies and 50,000 views! Finally, this is IMPORTANT:

For future readers, I'll be on vacation until Friday. Still keep commenting as I will be reading them, but probably won't have time to respond to them frequently. Until then, expect my response time to increase to about one day. Cheers

Give it a staff and its good to go.

Personally I think it should be holding a flaming staff instead of having the fire in its hand. Love the art and concept though! This idea has gotten even better than when I first read it a while ago.

The damage boost to troops is way to over powered. I could drop one of these guys off in a corner followed by hogs around him to grab the boost. I wouldn't even need to send a lot. I could do bursts of 5-6 to avoid a group getting killed by bombs. Can you imagine a hog that gains a 65% boost to its already high damage? Additionally this raises the question of how it impacts defense when in a clan castle? I was a little unclear but does it also boost your defense as it runs outside permanently? It seems like this guy is taking on a game changing/breaking set of abilities. You're stacking all sorts of damage boosts on him. I would stick with just the boost on his targeted buildings, otherwise I don't see it ever being introduced to the game.
