Ice comet and combat revamp

[Lyndel]

Hi, I have a level 48 wizard and a ruby in the bank. I have a couple of questions. Is ice comet still considered a T5 spell using a ruby or will it change to a T6 recipe needing a new rare (to match lower levels X0-X9)? Any reason not to get ice comet adept III? For example is there a better spell in the next couple of levels such that I should just sell the ruby and buy some armor or something? Thanks, Lydel - Oasis <div></div>

My personal opinion would be get Ice Comet to ADept 3 as soon as possible.  The added nuking ability really shines with this spell. <div></div>

I am in beta and I will say go ahead and get Ice comet adept 3 now. There is another spell called Surging Tempest you will want adept 3 also but those are the 2 primary spells at 50 currently. I am not sure about the t5 and t6 issue. Right now Ice Comet is still being made with Ruby's but I dont know if that will change or not.

My firned in beta told me that all pre-DoF lvl 50 spells still consume rubies or rhodium.

<div></div>From testupdate: <strong>Training changes:</strong>- Every ten levels (level 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60) you can now choose from a list of four spells or arts to upgrade to Master II quality. - This replaces the previous Training abilities, which have been removed from your Knowledge book. Could mean you can get an Ice Comet Master II. Can anyone from test verify the choices we get at every 10th level? Edit: Seems this been done in an earlier thread. Didnt see any Comet there. <span>:smileysad:</span> <div></div><p>Message Edited by justright on <span class=date_text>08-29-2005</span> <span class=time_text>03:50 AM</span>

Hmmm... I saw a list of the training spells available for after revamp somewhere.   Or I thought I had seen it somewhere.  Sadly... I dont remember seeing Ice Comet on the list.  I could be mistaken though.

[Lamprey_02]

It's not.

[adamflanagan]

at 50 the choice is: augmentation protoflame flamestrike fiery surge <div></div>

[finnean]

IC has a nice little delayed stun on test giving to lots time to cast another spell before mob gets to you.  It pretty sweet spell  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[papabear0]

<P>why would anyone want ice comet as master 2? </P> <P>think about it.</P> <P>if we get IC master 2, warlocks will get devistation , pet class will get best pet master 2, tanks will get super taunt master 2 and so on............</P> <P>then SOE will create a group of super mobs to deal with all the extra damage and what nots.</P> <P>a class defining spell is precious only if its rare to get that master, but if anyone can get it, whats the point?</P>

<DIV>Tar~Palantir you did not need to make this statement it is quite obvious who you are looking out for.  You have given wizards a bad name.</DIV>

[killzo]

Gotta agree.  Unless they do some major fixing this game is over.  2 weeks left and they totally nerfed Wizards.
