With HoT coming, there are a lot of new mechanics coming out. This would be a good time to introduce another fight mechanic. Right now, Combo Fields enable groups to get secondary buffs that help in combat. For example, blasting a fire field will grant Might to everyone. Well after playing some other games that have combos, it lead me to the idea of Player Stacking combos.
Imagine yourself fighting the Shadow Behemoth. Everyone is standing around and shooting at the head. Well, what if you could mount one of your friends, and combine your powers to do more damage? I’m attaching an image from a player named Swiftpaw. His illustration is exactly what this game needs.
Granted, not all races could use this new mechanic. Mounting an asura with a norn would probably call for negative combat modifiers. But on the opposite end to that, you could mount a norn with a human, and then have an asura mount the human for a totem pole attack. Then having that stack mount a charr could unleash some special type of attack, and award an achievement! I’ll attach another pic as an example.
