I don't think Heavy Venomancers need an APS Pataka. Our physical damage with Pataka is already pretty high as it is considering in fox form we get stuff like spammable grudge strike and ungodly levels of physical defense.That said, I think there's a lot to be said about making our spells castable with claws (even if it doesn't apply to fox form but clawform would be heaven) so that we don't lose our opportunities for defense (Lucky Scarab/Parasitic Nova, Soul Transfusion, Metabolic Boost and Summer Sprint) while we're dealing damage. And before you talk about that throwing off balance, keep in mind that in order for a Heavy Venomancer to be effective with claws we have to sacrifice pretty much all of our already-dismal elemental defense and a chunk of our physical defense.-1/+1 There are other ways to improve Heavy Venomancers without peppering their current weapons with unnecessary options. We hit hard with a Pataka in Fox Form, we don't need to hit insanely fast at the same time. That said, -.05 or -.10 on the Dragon Pataka really wouldn't hurt in any case, and any reason for more people to turn Heavy is good.On an unrelated note more physical weapon skins being made available for venomancers (dual ego bruisers, daggers, etc.) would make me a very happy failfox.
thats total bst fox never can get claw as weapon what can allowed it to use spells.. and sorry but how the hell adding to dragon pataka int.. is to op? LOL u get max 2.86 or so... try think first we r not talking about r8 or other stuff just dragon pataka and it wont be added just exchanged (took from dragon pataka 20 str and add int)... idk from where u took claws idea ... if fox will be able to use spells in claws same should have barb ... this way u make fox like a immortal sin.. jessrly big -1 and read full topic
And besides image fox with 4.0 or better 5.0 and able to using skills and best if skills can use also foxform .. than any fox will just 1 hit u cuz nova 0 def amplify and if got frenzy (genie) u r just "killed" in less than 1 sec.
