Lvl 21 Spell... a joke?

[Yngwiem]

<DIV>I just hit lvl 21 last night, and got that Fire spell. I forget the name, and am at work so I can't look!! Hahaha!!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyway, Looking at the description, it only does 51-99 damage for APP1. I realize upgrading it to Adept quality will make it more powerfull, isn't this rather weak for a 21 spell?? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was blasting lvl 16 Vulrich's for only 51-56 last night. My Ice spell doest twice this, and the re-use timer is about the same.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Am I missing something here?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

I presume you're talking about "blaze" here (it's been a while since I was 21) Yes, blaze is now weaker than ice spike.  What do you use it for? Chain casting.  Cast ice spike, cast blaze, cast ice spike, cast blaze..... Basically, you can spend the entire fight casting DD spells with no 'downtime' from the recast timers. <div></div>

<P>He is talking about Breath of the Tyrant. At your level it is a bit weak compared to blaze and ice spike. But that is because you just started using it. At level 35, I still use it in my down time between big spells. The dmg constantly grows till you mastered it, then it becomes stagnant, but by mid 20s you will be using it over blaze. Definately get an adept 1 if you can. This is a big spell for a good portion of your 20s. </P> <P>By 23 this works well with ice spike and Ball of Fire (which is your really big nuke till you get ball of flames).</P> <p>Message Edited by T'lk on <span class=date_text>05-12-2005</span> <span class=time_text>05:14 PM</span>

Gotcha.  And yea, it's still used in chaincasting. At 21, keep using blaze.  In your mid-to-late 20s, swap BotT for Blaze.  Once you get BoF, you'll do BoF, Ice Spike, BotT, Ice Spike, BotT, BoF.... <div></div>

<DIV>Thanks for the quick replies. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I don't use Blaze. At 20, I picked Gahlith's Frostfire, which does a lot of damage!!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks for clarifying Breath of Tyrant.</DIV>

Gahlith's Frostfire is an adept 2 blaze. Same Timer. <div></div>
