encounter effect spells

[Spag]

<div>To start off I am lvl 39, so there may be something I have not gotten to yet, but am I the only that wants more AE spells?  I currently have 3 AE spells:   Null Absolution, Grievous Blast, and Suffocating cloud.  First two as you know are Encounter effect spells, and the latter being area effect.  Outside of this for single target, we have 2 direct damage (Nil Distortion, and Noxious Bolt) 2 DoTs (Dark emanations, Dark Pyre), I am not including the BC lvl 35 spell as it has no upgrades.  If we are supposed to be the masters of grouped mobs, would it not make sense that we had more encounter effect abilities?  I find that I run out of group spells to cast, and wait on recast timers.  Sure I can resort to single target, but that does not help much when I have 5 mobs to kill.</div><div> </div><div>I like the change to group focus vs single target focus, more than I thought I would, but would like more encounter effect spells.  If this changes in the higher levels, then please let me know.</div>

<div></div>It is probably the lingering resistance and sting left behind from being reluctantly crowned AE Kings. Most people want more single target DD.Besides, until a game mechanic is introduced that allows a tank class to 'handle' the aggro generated by our AE potential, or we are given useful aggro reduction capability, I personally don't <i>need</i> more AE dmg spells. I am perfectly capable of getting a peel and dying with the current 4 we have, thx.But.....Another encounter AE DoT (Dev-style total damage, spread over longer duration) would be nice, lol. (HINT: Convert the useless 'Pillaging' line to this)Bah, nevermind. Just fix the damned Broodlings.<div></div><p>Message Edited by GLScooby on <span class="date_text">01-13-2006</span><span class="time_text">03:36 PM</span></p>

<div></div>I find that I can usually finish off the mobs with just one more cast (possibly 2), but I dont have anymore EE's to use.
