ok im not quite sure i understand why they set up dark distortion like they have it. i love it but..

[reba]

<DIV>dark distortion is really really nice now but, now that they have the description outlined, im a bit disappointed now that i know how it works.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>DD for me at 24 adept i is 87 power/ returns 29 power. according to description. this is alot different then i thought it worked. i figured a percentage of the damage was what was returned. and was trying to decifer how to get the spell to allow me to deal its damage and get an increase i power at the end even one or two points. kind of a tactical use of other spells to allow for that every so often.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>instead now i see its just a plain static return, and like this they might as well just lower the power cost, for me from 87 to 58 power, and it would have the same effect as it does now. i am extatic at our now DPS reworking. but id love to have the power return to vary a bit more. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>anyone else feel abit unsettled at this as i do.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>dont get me wrong i love the new changes. but when you read the description of the spell. i expected a bit more elaborate sytem for the return of power then just a static return every time.</DIV>

<DIV>I always thought it was a percentage as well and was all excited to get adept III for the increased power returns but no dice.</DIV>

[Mild und Lei]

the reason it's like that is because it comes as a bigger penalty when mobs resist it

[LlewCadey]

i have adept III at 25 and i get 36 return for my 93 cast, hopefully that margin will lower somewhat as i near the 30's and with adept 3 i dont mind that part of the spell, the damage it deals is insane

<DIV>Like someone else said, its about resists. If a mob resists it, you take a greater penalty for casting it than if they just lowered the power cost to the difference of what you get back vs cost.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Make sense?</DIV>

[Flad]

<DIV>Usually if I debuff the crap out of them I dont get resisted at 32.  BTW at 32 it costs 120 power and I get back 42 power.</DIV>

<DIV>...and in case you`re really close to oom these points can make the difference between life and death (I admitt, if it`s that close...most likely you will die anyways ; ).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Jörg</DIV>
