Ice Blade

[Thothie]

Sphere burns mana like mad, doesn’t level at all, and doesn't stay around for as long... But yeah, if I were a god, I'd go that route.

 

[WeissberV]

i trained ice on foutpost with blizzard, back in the days when chain lightning was cool

 

[Shurik3n]

Lighting storm is way overpowered. It makes monsters freak out and does pretty good damage. I still think poison cloud is the best AoE, at least at my affliction level. Blizzard is ok as a defensive spell, but it takes too much mana for the damage. Fireball is just crap.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

I think fireball is insanely overpowered.

It does area of effect damage and burn damage. Something like that is absurdly strong and I believe the fireball should be nerfed immediately.

 

[Shurik3n]

Just because it does two types of damage doesn't mean the damage it does is worth anything. Your point is flawed.

 

[Dark_Force9999]

Too bad we won't be getting any new spells because Thothie's not sure on how to fix the spell system. Worst than that is that we don't even know if there is any progress on it.

All the AOE spells do DOT. Fireball being one of the weaker ones, mainly due to the fact it's just lower level. Has better impact damage than most though. Low mana drain, good rate of fire.

Unlike Lightning storm, and Blizzard, Fireball DOT has no secondary effects (slow/confuse). Doesn't even make monsters stop, drop, and roll.

I've got more important things to do at the moment, than to start the vote thread on "how do you want your spells nerfed?" that'll no doubt lead to flames galore.

Priorities at the moment:
- Recompile/finish some maps (chapel, daragoth*, helena2, lostcastle, calruin2)
- Old helena
- Integrate said into new installer
- A few new items for the Lodagond chests (that may or may not include Blooddrinker, as Crow seems to be moving the Maldora conflict to a second map.)
- Better anti-cheat/map verification/anti-speed hack system so we can make FN public again
- Start implementing the custom title system

Hopefully have all that done by years end. (Probably all that and more, I'm just covering my ass.)

Finish the Hall of Deralia?

 

[Shurik3n]

Why would blooddrinker be linked to maldora? The Sorc boss wields it...

 

[Crow]

 

[Thothie]

That would be telling... But J-M knows...

Hall of Deralia is lower priority as there isn't much to do there... Although I may run some of the titles thing through there.

This was complete and total sarcasm, for those who actually didn't notice.
And at the same time, it was also a parody on the omg-lightning-storm-is-2-strong posts.

I promised you I won't tell anybody (not even my guildmembers), so don't worry
Edit: The fact that some people are still like "omg vant al itamz *farm 24/7* lololol" is the reason I won't say anything.

The sarcasm failed miserably.
Parody wasn't funny.

Heh, no sarcasm can fail as much as pimpsta's.

Why don't we have any spells that do splash damage? We have AoE, but it isn't the same. The boulders, that the troll lobbers throw, do splash damage. Shouldn't fireball do splash too, instead of AoE?

Also, you, yes, even you, can't possibly believe that I was being serious when I posted that the fireball spell is overpowered.

I did. It's not the first time I've had the complaint either.

Splash damage is really hard to predict and make consistant. You'll notice the Troll Lobber's boulders vary an insane amount. But yeah, amongst the "nerf all yer spells flame generator" ideas, were to convert most AOE spell to splash.

The DOT would be the same regardless of impact damage though.

Yes, I saw the sarcasm, I also noticed that I wasn't amused. You tend to dislike those +1 posts, and yet you add to another serious discusion by letting us know about your insightful opinion.
