Your thoughts on adding skill attribute icons on skill pages? (Fixed/Percent Damage, Physical/Magical Atk., Grab...)

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Altair
Jump to: navigation, search

Sorry about the late reply. To be honest, I thought about this some time ago, but I never got around to doing it.

As a reference, do you mean the icons that are shown in-game on the user interface?
Here's an example of Upward Slash:

The icons you are suggesting are located above the Basic Description and Option Description Tabs, correct?

I do have these icons on hand at the moment. So I am able to upload them if deemed necessary. But if we want to list them out horizontally, we could add some additional features. We could add a hover text box feature that shows/reveals while hovering over a certain image/text, similar to how the AbsoluteDamage template has the box that says: Absolute Damage Ratio, it is multiplied by your Independent Attack Power before being shown in the game tooltips.


Edit: Alright, so I added those UI icons to the wiki under the Category: Skill UI Icons. I also created Template:HoverText. Use them as you see fit.

Yay, thanks so much :)

Does that mean I'm allowed to add them under skill descriptions now?

23:42, 11 May 2019

Yeah, but before you do, provide a sample here of how you'd want them to look.

If I were to start putting the skill UI icons on skill pages, then we would have to do it for every single skill for consistency, right? Would this be a lot of unnecessary work that could be put towards more important things?

11:19, 12 May 2019

Yes, it would have to be consistent. But I would recommend starting small. I noticed that you are updating the Base F. Mage Skills. How about starting with those pages first?

TBH, it's not that much unnecessary work. There's A LOT of important things to do, but there's also A LOT of time to do it. So I believe there is no harm done here.

Ok, I'll start little at a time then.

By the way, in skill options, is magical weapon atk. the same thing as magical atk?

Lantern Firebomb.png Lantern Firebomb for example has xxx% + xxx magical weapon atk, but Elemental Gateways.png The Gate has xxx% magical atk.

I'm wondering if I should put "Magical Atk." or "Magical Weapon Atk." when I'm making the skill growth table.

12:52, 12 May 2019

Usually the term "Magical Weapon Atk." is used when a skill is a buff to the base stats. An example of this would be something like Hit Bleed.png Hit Bleed. Normally, "Magical Atk." is attributed to just damage dealt by a skill. In this case, it may just be a consistency typo.

So for Lantern Firebomb.png Lantern Firebomb, I'd say put "Magical Atk." However, since we're going to state that this skill does magic damage in the Attributes section of the page with the Skill UI icons, you could even minimize the column heading to just "Atk." or "Explosion Atk."

It's up to you. I trust your judgment.

Oh, if you find any skills that you are unable to find skill growth information on, just let me know. Certain skills like Nen Flower.png Nen Flower and Swift Demon Slash.png Swift Demon Slash have values that are displayed incorrectly in the in-game tooltip. So in these particular cases, it may require a bit of research.

Another thing, my Tactician's Contract is going to expire in seven days. So within the next seven days, I will be updating the following skills: Nen Flower.png Nen Flower, Lion of Suju.png Lion of Suju, EMP Storm.png EMP Storm, Astral Storm.png Astral Storm, Teana Transformation.png Teana Transformation, Elemental Burst.png Elemental Burst, Ice Chain.png Ice Chain, Seven Sins of Corruption.png Seven Sins of Corruption, Pegasus Assault.png Pegasus Assault, Evil God Mayhem.png Evil God Mayhem, Roaring Lightning.png Roaring Lightning, Price of Mistrust.png Price of Mistrust, Aura Javelin.png Aura Javelin, Fury- Black Armageddon.png Fury: Black Armageddon, Dragon Slayer (Dragoon).png Dragon Slayer (Dragoon), G-Widow.png G-Widow, Blitzkrieg.png Blitzkrieg, and Burst Field.png Burst Field. So don't worry about them if you come across them.
