Gl with IRL, keep up the grind, you absolute legend.

Critical Hit

How does the damage cap interact with his spell ticks? Because if he can get them near continuous, he could do damage right at the cap per tick with the smallest applicable tick and deal stupid damage.

Fabhar

Loved the chapter.

Loipers

Great chapter SS! This one has something for everyone. So CM doesn't go over 200%, that's gonna screw with people's calculations. The tick rate effect seems really good - at 15 Rain can halve the attack speed on an aura to double to damage (on top of all other modifiers) per single hit. I wonder if the extra delay only comes into effect after the first hit - that would allow for some bonkers macros.

Alexander Dupree

Thanks for the chapter. [!!!!] was hilarious

So, the goddess of love is physical only?

If I were drinking it would have gotten everywhere "league of Legends was played here"

SightandSound

N'aww, they're actually friends?

Yeah this seems like a way to keep the DPS even when in a low/no rank zone, which will make him extremely dangerous in safe areas, and it will allow him to deal with the "too fast melee dude" problem. That said, it looks like this will only really affect auras based on ticks, which means his defensive and most of his utility auras will not get any benefit (unless they do somehow scale with this), and considering that those are his best active skills, it is about of a need in that department.

glad we didnt have a cliffhanger on our heads for two weeks, nice fluffy chapter. Or is it all death flags. also channel mastery question answered :D Have a nice break, and hope you have a grand time

Typos: "... staring back at the hills transitioning to forest. We must have done…at least a 10k. Ten kilometers, that is. Hells, maybe twice that.” Missing quotation mark before 'We'. Also: "and snugging his arm tighter around her." Pretty sure that should be snuggling.

Jamus getting married. Rain's macros are something, a bit OP.

Skeln

The LoL homage was pure gold

Thransk

A couple of thoughts on the tick rate: 1. It is nice to see it show up now, meaning there is probably not a whole skill dedicated to tick rate. 2. More control=better, who knows when that fidelity will be useful in a combat situation. It could be a fantastic training tool. There is a world where people need a constant low damage attack to effectively train certain skills. Testing will go a lot smoother as well.

i love that tallheart is opening up to more people, especially staavo.

Cirvante

She probably wouldn't have cared about Jamus's wife cucking him.

Amelya playing with dirt and stick tree in her soul space "She couldn’t exactly let Rain get ahead of her." Meanwhile Rain is doing orbital ascensor, industrial scale, flying zeppelin and orbital space station Oh Amelya if you know :P

The Golem Crafter

You planning on posting your story on kindle unlimited?

Pyrefiend

With that tick speed change, I bet he could use macros to turn on Aura Focus just for a moment when an aura ticks, and then turn it off again to avoid blinding himself.

Starless

Sometimes I forget how broken a mage who gets to wear full plate mail is in this setting.

Starless

He'll also get to play around with how the concept of infinity applies to skills once he can get the minimum tick rate down to zero. For example Instead of using one second Velocity novas, Rain could instead make the tick rate defined by a limit function that toggles it on and off in random intervals within each second, as f(x) approaches one second. That way, there's no way monsters can possibly adapt to it. Just don't leave any export values at infinity, since then the power would either be infinitely small, or the mana cost would be infinitely high. There's also the possibility of getting the 'Let's watch Rain n' the gang play around with velocity, Silverplate edition!' scene. He could even turn it into a Squid Game kinda thing by offering a prize to whoever can reach him first.

Cirvante

True, the only others that come to mind are blood mages, healers/supports using contact spells and maybe self-enhancers and shifters - although I'm not sure about Elemental Transformation.

Starless

The Badlands being a dried-up lakebed was kinda interesting. Maybe could ask the geomancers to dig in the ground a bit to see if the transition was slow/natural, or the result of some terrifying calamity that happened. The latter of those two would indicate there might be some ancient ruins to have a scouting team look for. Just gotta keep in mind Rain is the only one able to see through the Straal's defensive illusions, so maybe invest some science points into making a spyglass.

Cirvante

Velikah could see through the illusion, Ameliah and Tallheart might be able to see through it as well.

Of course I sub in the one week where there is a two week gap between chappies... This always happens.
