Additions to the TF2 mercs

[Aguywhodoesthings]

so on halloween maps the mercs can pick up books, crystal balls or flasks that allow them to use magic spells i think these should be listen under optional equipment. the full list of these spells and their effects can be found here
the abilities the mercs would get from these are:
Fire Manipulation with Fireball and Meteor Shower
Teleportation with Shadow Leap
Invisibility with Stealth
Explosion Manipulation with Pumpkin MIRV
Summoning with Skeleton Horde and Summon Monoculus
Electricity Manipulation with Ball O' Lightning
Statistics Amplification and Size Manipulation with Power Up
Invulnerability and Healing with Overheal
and Self-Healing with Shadow leap, Blast Jump, Overheal, Stealth and Power Up
there's also powerups from the gamemode Mannpower which should be mentioned too, most of the powerups also give the mercs stat boosts. the full list can be found here
the abilities from the powerups would be:
Regeneration with Regeneration, Vampire and King
Damage Transferal with Reflect(80% of the damage dealt is reflected to the attacker)
Disease Manipulation (touching an enemy gives them the Plague) and Regeneration Negation with Plague(block's King powerups regeneration)
Status Effect Inducement with Supernova(stuns all nearby players)
Damage Reduction with Resistance, Plague(only against people infected with the Plague) and Vampire
Resistance to Disease Manipulation with Resistance(gives immunity to the Plague powerup)
Resistance to Damage Transferal with Resistance and Vampire(gives immunity to Reflect powerup)
and there is also the mvm upgrades which should probably be a new key entirely.the full list can be found here
the abilities they would get with MVM upgrades is:
Regeneration
Status Effect Inducement for Soldier with Rocket Specialist(stuns target on a direct hit), and for Pyro with Thermal Thruster(can be upgraded to stun enemies on landing)
Self-Healing with Health on Kill
Statistics Reduction for Scout and Sniper(Mad Milk and Jarate can be upgraded to slow down covered Enemies, Snipers Explosive Headshots slow enemies near target)
Explosion Manipulation for Pyro with Gas Passer(can be upgraded to explode once ignited)
Statistics Amplification with Crits on Kill
Resistance to Fire Manipulation
Resistance to Explosion Manipulation
there's also canteen's which should also be under optional equipment

there really isn't anything wrong with these

 

[Aguywhodoesthings]

yeah most of these are just things that should have been added a long time ago

 

[Half_Shiny]

Looks good dude. hopefully this gets added

 

[Aguywhodoesthings]

i see no reason why it shouldn't be added

 

[Robot972]

Seems alright. The medic would also get an addition to resurrection with MvM

 

[Half_Shiny]

also since they can summon monoculus that should give them BFR and portal creation since he sends people to hell

 

[Aguywhodoesthings]

well the monoculus that they summon doesn't do that and only shoots eyeballs

 

[Half_Shiny]

ah my b. The wiki just says it summons a blue or red one so I didn't know. Thanks man

 

[Aguywhodoesthings]

bump

 

[Half_Shiny]

grappling hook should be added in equipment for all while we are at it. As well as the spell/power ups

 

[Aguywhodoesthings]

agreed

 

[Antvasima]

This seems uncontroversial to apply, yes, but please remember to add the relevant verse tag/topic when you create a content revision thread.

 

[Aguywhodoesthings]

nice

 

[Antvasima]

Is some members who is experienced with editing willing to apply these changes?

Please remember to carefully read through and follow the instructions in our Common Editing Mistakes page, so no badly structured edits are made, and extensive cleanup work will not be necessary.

 

[AngeronTheSkyHighAnger]

I am willing to add these to the TF2 characters pages

 

[Half_Shiny]

thanks dude

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you. I will give you temporary editing rights. Tell me here when you are done.

Also, please remember to carefully read through and follow the instructions in our Common Editing Mistakes page, so no badly structured edits are made, and extensive cleanup work will not be necessary.

 

[AngeronTheSkyHighAnger]

done

 

[Aguywhodoesthings]

pretty good but i think you should also add spells and power ups under optional equipment

 

[AngeronTheSkyHighAnger]

I don't think it's really necessary to add them in optional equipment because they're more so things that they just cast or have passive ability as oppose to being actual equipment

 

[Thelastmlg]

Well the spell book is necessary to cast the spells.

What is left to do here?
