TSO Wizard AA Update

stivan · 10-30-2008, 11:43 PM

For all of you who are wondering where we are and what happened with our AA's in the beta. Here is an update.

Here are the main things you need to see that were changed from what was previously posted:

Bewilderment is our final Mage ability.. this was changed from its previous form to be a more effective nuke with a shorter recast and only dehates by 1 position, not 4.

Thunderclasp is our new Sorc aa.. this was changed from the previous ability which was 30% less hate gain for 20 seconds. Pay attention to a few details like: you cant be interrupted. Yes this means it can be cast while running. It also has a 50 meter range. It's a very cool nuke.

Hailstorm was also updated to be way more effective. I think the changes are pretty obvious.

Here are some of the other very cool changes we saw in beta:

The icelash AA replaces the AA we had for fiery blade. I think this is a pretty obvious change that is going to be well liked by all.

The Icicle flurry aa was changed to be 30% exponentially, it was 4% before. It's very nice.

Void tempest replaced the AA for furnace of ro. This aa is going to be VERY nice.

Lastly, our aa for fission, which replaced the AA for electron storm:

We should all thank Aeralik for being very active with our AA's and getting them changed/fix very fast.

Ok, I have one thing to say. Thank you all wizards who were in beta and convinced aeralik to change the aa's. These are so much better then previously posted.

That base damage for fission is going to be pretty redonculous in pvp.. fission damn near one shots whoever gets hit with it as it is O.o

Storming Tempest will rape face for PvP too. 1.5s stun/kb that lands every 3.8s for 23s. Not much time to hit buttons before it strikes again.

I am a little confused as to exactly HOW the new AA's will be implimented.
Do they plan on clearing ALL the existing AA points and allowing you to reroll ALL your AA points?
I understand that we will no be able to place 70, 70, & 60 in the new AA line.

With this in mind, I am curiouse as to how our best Wizards are planing on altering their current trees, and where do they plan on placing points considering the new IMPROVED damage?

Our new AA's look very very nice. I'm looking forward to TSO.

Not talking for best wizards, but I'm going to use something like this:

Not sure for some points (TSO AAs) - need to run some tests.
