It started with
Gerard said:A minor proposal but Leftovers is pretty much useless, even pokemon with the ability Gluttony will use any other item instead. I propose we boost the Hp recovery to 2 (Gluttony can raise it to 3) to make it comparable to similar defensive items such as Focus Band/Sash (which block 2 dmg (likely 3 since SE) per action). There aren't many defensive items when compared to their offensive variants so I think this is a reasonable boost
So before we tackle the big questions, let's start with Lefties, and your feelings towards defensive items and play in general. Remember to read to yourself your equivalent of Miranda rights and legal oaths before answering these questions:Frosty said:... As for Leftovers, Focus Sash/Band work only when the opponent attacks and only 50% of the time (51-100%hp and 0-49%hp), whereas Leftovers work every turn non stop. If you boost it to 2hp I feel it would outclass Sash and Band entirely. Personally I prefer 1.5 and 3.
Although, to be fair, Sash and Band (especially Band) are worse than the offensive items (most signature items, type-specific items, expert belt etc) so maybe boosting all defensive items may be something to be looked into.
- Does Leftovers need a buff? To what levels?
- Are defensive items and tactics underpowered? Do they require a buff?
EDIT: Starting focus of discussion solely on Leftovers here.
EDIT2: Moving on to focus on Protector and Big Root here.
Fire away ^_^
