Eli's Thunderous Chorus - needs changing

[vinterskugge]

<DIV>Overall, I'm happy with the changes to our class, but this is one spell that needs fixing.  Firstly, it does under half the damage of exquisite shrill, but has double the cast time.  I can't see a situation when I would lost 2 seconds of autoattack for such a low damaging spell.  Secondly, it says it's on a short recast timer.  On beta, this was 5 seconds, but in game it's 10 seconds, which is exactly the same as all our other abilities.  Could someone take a look at this please?</DIV>

I Agree the actual cast time of this song probable should be reduced to be more in line with the amount of dmg it does.  the dmg it does isn't too bad, but the cast timer is quite a bit log.  at least it does have a shorter recast timer. <div></div>

<DIV>Yeah, I'm not a fan of this song.  It's painfully slow to cast and is interrupted a lot.  Also, you can't move while casting it...  Before it had a place as it did "magic" damage, but now it just takes up space IMO.  This is one of the few spells from t5 (anthem) that I never bothered updating past adept 1 and I don't see myself updating the t6 version past adept 1 either...</DIV>

<DIV>The description says it should have a 2 second cast time (which it doesn't) so I'm guessing it's bugged.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>At the moment the only time I use it is for HO's when the other cloak icons are down.</DIV>

I'd love to have it's range upgraded, too. It's got a much shorter range than our other ranged spells. <div></div>

definitly needs looking at. <div></div>

[Shadoerider]

I totally agree I really didn't think about it till now but then I was looking at it and you are definatly right <div></div>

[Bartimaeus]

<DIV>Wow hiya Poofe havent seen you around here before : )</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyway yeah, I have yet to upgrade this spell past apprentice 2. The short range of it and the long cast time, not to mention the non-moving cast on it, are pathetic. Give this super high damage, super low cast time, or add some debuffs to it or something. As It is, its not any use.</DIV>
