Forked Lightning

DragonX · #1 05-03-2003, 11:25 PM

Well first of all this prayer lags the level very BADLY. Leucetious grants this prayer. The second thing is that it does 30 damage a second and with the lag added it can kill ANYONE very quickly. This needs to be fixed (also has something to do with the 2x damage that was added to all spells and prayers which was a dumb idea)

Forked lightning isn't the only one that's really laggy, all of the lightning spells are. And no, damage is fine, its just the lag that as bad, with your lack of resistances that make it hurt so much.

Damage isn't fine. The damage should increase depending on level of magic/wisdom not just automatically do 2x more damage, that was the dumbest thing implemented.

It's better than having spells that do hardly any damage, and lag the game horribly.

I like it the way it is.

Drag's just made because Rahtnab kept causing havoc in the post office with Forked Lightning :)

I love that spell, unless it's used on me.

I am mad because it's way overpowered and Kaiser agrees with me by saying that he doesn't like it used on him. Of course nobody who has it will want it toned down because they like killing people with it but I'm sure once you've been a victim you will want it toned down. Why not? It is way too strong so it needs to be toned down, I dont care if people say 'you only want it toned down cause you get killed by it'. I get killed by many things but this is one thing I can't tolerate, overpowered spells/prayers.

Clarification, please. Do they actually do 2x more damage, or was the damage merely doubled?

DragonX, please stop complaining about the magic power having been doubled. That was a great step in balancing mage/warrior classes, and shouldn't be taken back. If you hate magic so much, just hit the mage when he's casting!

All magic and prayers were actually doubled in damage. Locke, how was it a great step in balancing it when it didn't balance it, it just made mages 2x stronger than people that use weapons! If I get hit by 1 icestorm by a level 1 sorcerer, I lose over 100 HP! That is LUDACRIS, that is not BALANCED. This needs to be fixed.

One icestorm from a level one sorcerer? You must be very very weak!

I've taken icestorms from sorcerers ranging from level 5 to 11, and I've survived every one of them, most of them doing very little damage!

I don't know what you're talking about.

2x stronger when they hit - also, it depends on your resistance against ice/fire/electricity/whatever. I havn't been victim of any magic attack yet but I'd be surprised if my snowstorm would do more than 10hp damage... maybe 20 if given enough time...

.. and what DX wants is for your spell to do 5, maybe 10 damage.

So your saying... A level 1 mage is supposed to kill all other level 1 players in one hit?

And thats how it's supposed to be?

You are truly insane.
