Default Deadly Paradox

All right it was good, but now its dead, im proposing that its buffed slightly, not back to the original 5 energy (too OP) but to 10 energy, 15 energy has just killed it.

It deserves to be dead. It encourages retard spam-to-win skill-free builds, and Deadly Arts and Shadow Arts simply cannot be balanced properly if Paradox lives.

It stays dead for the good of the game as a whole.

Yeah its a bad skill by design. Unless what it does gets changed it needs to stay dead.

Uhmm no, because:
1: It's not dead, people still use it just not as spammable as it was.
2: There is a reason why it's 15e not 10e in the first nerf. 5 less energy = 1 more spam skill.

In a perfect world, with a perfect skill balancer, we would have every skill perfectly balanced against each other, and all of the skills being perfectly viable and adding to gameplay.

Unfortunately, this isn't a perfect world, and we don't have a perfect skill balancer. I'd rather settle for skills adding to gameplay depth and strategy rather than having every skill viable. The conception of Deadly Paradox is absolutely....indescribable. Suffice to say I much rather it stay dead.

Having a skill that (at least) doubles the effectiveness of two attribute lines is a bad idea. Arguments for Deadly Paradox included the idea that Deadly Arts would remain a dead/underused line of skills so this was a way of enhancing them. A better idea would be to look at each skill individually and make them not suck.

Healer's Boon is similar in the sense that it boosts all of the Healing Prayers spells but Healer's Boon itself is Elite, only affects Healing Prayers and only affects Spells. It has far more limitations. Unfortunately, the disabling of attack skills on Paradox does not suffice in balancing the skill but increasing the energy cost is better at preventing the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 button mashing-parade.

As a result, I /unsign 0.

It's time to kill off Augury of Deep Wound now.
