No tier 1 and 2 DD spells

[cheerupbrian]

 Yes on test Furies don't get a DD spell until lvl23. All our damage spels are DoT's.  Wardens get 2 each tier. It also makes HO's a joke with no big damage spell. Hopefully they will balance it out with wardens so both get DD's  and DoT's. But at the momment it's hard and slow in combat.<div></div>

<div></div><div>its cuz that spell line doesnt start til 23. Smite was our swarm line, and chill was our waterspout line. Now it's more "Fury" then before :smileysurprised:</div><p>Message Edited by Goozman on <span class="date_text">01-14-2006</span><span class="time_text">08:08 PM</span></p>

<div></div>Not being able to use Heroic Opportunities really [Removed for Content] a character. - they need to fix this fast!  If they take away smite etc then some replacement to complete HO's needs to be put in.

I thought it always was hard and slow in combat for furies until Strike of Thunder..? Well, not hard, but definitely slow. I remember being able to take things a couple levels higher than me because I had the ability to tank and heal pretty well, but it took me forever because of the very low damage output with only Smite, Chill and Swarm at my disposal. I got mostof my xp duoing during that time and playing healer. To be honest, Smite never seemed to help me much. I could melee almost as much damage and in much less time. Strike of Thunder changed my world in a drastic way. I choose it for M2 and I was leveling like the devil. I don't think Smite will be missed, but that's just my opinion.<div></div>

<div></div>They can still do HO's. The swarm line was our "version" of smite, it uses the same hammer thingy. Same deal with the new dot cold spell. So once you have both, it'll be a bit better but DD > DoT in this game.

<div></div>Yeah we really need a damage spell, bad. We start out at level 1 with a damage shield for crying out loud. Was kinda funny actually, I was rounding up huge groups of mobs and just letting the DS kill 'em while I healed myself :smileytongue:. Of course this was after the insane combat arts damage fix... was humbling to say the least being one hitted by a level 2 crab (at level 1, but still lol). As to furies soloing slowly until we get strike of thunder, I never really felt like it was that slow. Granted things got better once I got it, but chill, smite, and swarm served me well until then IMO. Much rather have smite then a not even 1dps dot (2 damage every 3 seconds, what a gip).

<div></div><p>Things should be changing soon though with the removal of subclasses (when you can make a lvl 3 Fury (not priest-druid-fury).  So maybe there will be a lower lvl DD spell with expansion.  /shrug</p><p>Mystral</p>
