Prismatic Pulse...why do you folks still have it on the hotbar?

[Darien al'Staff]

Why do I say this? Ice Spike.Adept I damage is considerably (and I do mean considerably) higher, and it also continues the HO wheel. To add more bang to it, it's also on a FAST recast timer..faster than Prismatic.So...why do you still have the pulse?

<DIV>Do you mean P<STRONG>la</STRONG>smatic?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And I haven't had Ice Spike up in awhile.  You sure it does more damage than a spell 13 levels higher, including said spell's DoT effect?  My plasmatic pulse, all said, does maybe 160ish, with 60ish points per tick when to DoT lands.  What does your Ice Spike Adept I do?</DIV>

[xsvhrs]

<DIV>Yes, Ice Spike does more damage, although it gets resisted *slightly* more often.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Adept I ice spike at level 41 does about 200-280.  Plasmatic neaver gets over 160, and hardly ever procs. In fact, I've never seen it proc before.</DIV>

Plasmatic is not on my hotbar. The spell is just a big letdown all around.Fendaria

<DIV>Ice Spike is grey to me at lvl 35, and it still always hits for more than Plasmatic Pulse. Also, its mana cost is nearly half of Pulse.</DIV>

I don't have PP on the hotbar anymore. Ice spike Adept 3 for now. I will review PP, since I am now level 38.

<DIV>Yes,, it's sad to see a high-end spell with crap nuking power whereas a lvl 15 <FONT color=#ffff99>SORCERER </FONT><FONT color=#ffffff>spell outdamages it. </FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I guess you could consider it a blessing cuz our main offense only costs 1 ruby (Ice Comet), 2 Opals (Ball of Flames, Immolation), 1 Palladium (Breath of the Tyrant), and 1 silver (Ice Spike), while the other classes are spending $$$ on their t5 spells...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>However, this kinda sucks cuz at the high end game... who really cares about cash but instead u worry about how the devs will actually start fixing our spells..:smileysad: Just hope for the best and keep ranting :smileyvery-happy:</DIV>

<blockquote><hr>Admhel wrote: 1 Palladium (Breath of the Tyrant)</blockquote>Well, with 3 DD spells, you have enough to cast without any waiting, then I don't see the usefullness of BOTT. At 39 I mainly use BOFla and Ice ; I just use BOTT when HO needs it, when I cannot cast freezing wind (due to timer, mana or mezzed mobs) I will use immolation when I can find better than the lowest level of the spell.Am I wrong ? may be there is something I did not see ?

<DIV>nah.. it's prolly cuz I have Breath of the Tyrant Master 1. I think it does [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] near 400dmg.. around 380-390ish max.. not completely accurate. But it is the highest  2sec cast - 3/4? recast damage spell I have on my hotbar. Next would be Ice Spike or that lvl 29stun adp 3.. that one does about 490dmg. + stun but it has a 45 sec recast and can only hit grp x2 ^^ mobs. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>BoTT, Ice Spike and Flamestrike are just quick nukes I toss out or my supplementary nukes whenever you still have immo, ice comet, westfiends, ball of flames still running their timers. Apparently, ALL MOBS in this game have a high Cold resist. So you'll end up tossing all your Fire spells including your lowly incinerate just to generate some sort of dps. :smileyvery-happy:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It's up to you which spells to use on certain mobs. But I know for sure that ALL your fire spells will ALWAYS land  (even on Fire based mobs) but your cold spells have exceptions to cold/water mobs. :smileysad:</DIV>
