What a gimp change to make it so spells drop when no targets in range.

No more precasting sunfire + ball lightning. Awesome FU devs. What a stupid change. I liked that I could control when and where I dropped spells like that - pulling mobs onto it etc.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but that is just a plain and stupid change with no benefit at all.

I never read patches but if what you say is true they better enhance the casting time of some of the spells out there else they go straight back to knowledge book and never come out again*.


*Except for maybe a couple fights .

ball lightning is enough dps that I keep it in my spell rotation on really long fights anyway - just have to drop it right as the mob shows up so as to not waste it - but certainly wont be using sunfire much anymore outside a few select situations.

I wonder what classes ae was so overpowered that they had to take these away from us.

Taiz

Nah, Ring of fire and ball of lighting are "pets" they wont be effected by it.

Aero

yeah i'm sure they'll still work since they are "pets" but then again SoE fucks everything up =)

Yeah I think what this means is if you're using a spell like call of storms and all the mobs in the area die the spell will then end.

Malacai

That is how I interpreted this coming change as well, i.e. should not effect "pet" spells. But we won't know for sure until that patch goes live. It definately wouldn't be the first time patch notes lead you to believe one thing and when the change goes live, people are like wtf?

I'd venture to say Call of Storms won't end either, seeing as it's a spell cast on your person just like Ball Lightning and Sunrise, not that anyone casts it anyway.
