Dissenting Cantata????

[Longspo]

<DIV>Ok so when I dinged 20 I took Belious' Boastful Bellow (Piercing Shriek Upgrade).  At 26.6 I got Dissenting Cantata.  I just so happened to have the ad1 already so i scribed it...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Belious' does like 185-228 damage and then a 200+ to 300+ AC hit/mental when it's done... A level 20 upgrade mind you...</DIV> <DIV>Dissenting ad1 does like 183-226 damage.  That's it.  Over 6 and a half levels later...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So...  I really don't know what else to say...  Am I missing something?  Will Dissenting Cantata grow into this incredible beast of a spell as i level that would make me not want to use Belious instead?  Or is this just another spell i'll never need?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>thoroughly confused...</DIV> <DIV>Longspoon</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Because they are still orange, it tends to be weaker.I think SOE messed up with spells/abilities across the entire board.For the most part, you see some of your dmg spells L30+ start to beweaker and takes longer for it to be better than your previous spell.Some are just weak at beginning. Others are weak for around 7-14 levels. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>Past 30 they are worthless, at 49 mine do around 400 dmg with adept 1... you would lose much more damage from the cast time, plus it costs a good portion of power.</DIV>

I wouldn't say worthless...  They are still good for casting on the run...  when you are pulling and running back to group....   you can get one off.... <div></div>

Don't forget, also good for completing an HO when our Double-Attack line is still recycling and our only other frontal attack misses. Honestly, I usually only use this skill line when pulling mobs when I can't risk stealthing and taking a free sneak attack on them. <div></div>
