Anyone else Fizzing a lot more after 1/19 patch?

[Ramtaku]

<DIV>Maybe it's just me but I solo'd and duo'd in Nek forest on the 19th and my fizzle rate was nuts.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Didn't matter what level of spell I was casting, fizzing almost 1 out of 3 casts.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It's possible I was just having a bad night with whatever random generator determines success or failure, but it sure seemed like it was happening way too often. I've been playing an Inquisitor since launch and it has never been as bad as it was on 1/19.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>I too have noticed alot of fizzles in EQ2, but I don't think that there was any significant increase after the patch.</DIV>

Hiho,.... random generator ...Yes that a big problem in the hole game. The fizzel are ugly sometime a spell fizzel 5 times, spell are always masterd.Its very nice to see this - Fizzel, fizzel, mob disturb, fizzel ... someone is dead.Uwe

[Ramtaku]

<DIV>I agree, I fizze to much on spells I've should have mastered by my level.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm not talking about spell strength (app 1 - master 3/4 or whatever), I'm talking about the fact that Bestowal of Vitae is green to me and I've cast it at least 2,000 times. I should be able to cast BoV with my eyes closed while eating a sandwich, not fizzle three times in the middle of combat.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'd like to see the probability of failure linked to spell level in relation to your level ie. it should be a lot harder to fizzle on a green spell then an orange spell.</DIV>

I'm sure it could just be coincidence, but I've REALLY noticed this lately as well. Not saying I have any imperical evidence to support this...just that it's been my impression too!

How can it be that i was one of the few to read to keep your fizzling down you need more INT. Yes this is not EQ1 and not only is WIS important but INT will help your fizzeling the higher the int the less the fizzle./shrug guess reading the book was only smart thinking.

<DIV>Int doesnt seem to make a diff after patch. I am havin an aweful time fizzin and has cost at least 8 or 9 deaths so far.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>out of 7 casts i had 6 fizzers on a large group mob aggro in RE and we wiped. How can I heal if cant cast the bloody things.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>They are implimenting no fizz on grey green and blue spells i believe soon, which will be nice. Bit late for those I have to rez. Atm I wont do hard stuff wothout 2 healers, pure waste of time with fizzability as it is. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

<DIV>I fizzle a LOT on my dot's.  I've counted it and its around 45% fizzle rate at level 42.  All skills maxed.</DIV>

[noirut]

<DIV>All I can say is , TONS MORE FIZZLES !!</DIV>

<DIV>Last night I fizzed out on FoR 5 times in a row in 2 separate occasions. This is crazy. Fiz should be taken out of the game completely its just annoying and serves nothing.</DIV>
