My biggest added thought on the matter is to take out the "damage based on enemy's mana" aspect.

Oh yeah, and I forgot that I highly support this suggestion.

I wouldn't say I support it to the extent that I'd prefer it over a Disintegrate bolt (which fits more into our bolting mana gap), but it is definitely worth considering.

I'd much rather see DC unnerfed

Let's face it, that will never happen.

I'd be good with a bolt version of disease. Or a bolt version of DC, either one. What I want, is two more bolt options for sorcs; a hard hitting higher mana BOLT (not a ball, like 713) and a lower mana BOLT, for something abotu 5 mana, which a bolt version of 705 would fit perfectly.

My bolt version of 719 covers the hard hitting higher mana BOLT. A bolt version of disease could do that as well. Given my characters investment in elemental lores, I am natuarlly more inclined towards the bolt version of DC, but that's just personal preference.

Of course, I would be happy with any more sorc dev, as long as it is not a nerf.

I don't see the need to add a bolt version of DC. Balefire works fine for a high level bolt spell. It would be much better design-wise to have a lower level bolt spell (705) for those interested in that style of hunting than it would to try to trump 713 for some inexplicable reason.

What I posted was that I think we need two more bolt spells. First priority is a low mana, aka bolt version of 705. To me, second priority is a higher mana BOLT (not a ball, since ball spells have lower DFs than bolts, in general), and I figured a bolt version of 719 would fit that bill. I'm not stuck on that, though, a bolt version of disease would be good as well. Either way, I do think we need a higher mana, hard hitting BOLT spell, in addition to 713, a higher mana, hard hitting BALL spell.

If you can't see the 'inexplicable' reasoning behind that, I don't know how to better explain it.

Either way, I do think we need a higher mana, hard hitting BOLT spell, in addition to 713, a higher mana, hard hitting BALL spell.

I saw what you posted. There's just no need for a higher level bolt at this point. As it stands, Balefire is second only to Cone of Lightning in terms of spell level for bolt/ball spells. A single target bolt spell at 19th level has the potential to create problems while solving nothing. What problems? Well, we would have the highest level bolt and ball spells in the game at that point. Would sorcerers accept having the highest level, highest mana cost bolt for a spell that is inferior to Cone of Lightning? A single target spell obviously wouldn't be able to match cone's damage output vs multiple targets, so how powerful would this bolt have to be to appease sorcerers? And don't you think that would create a huge issue with wizards? I've long been a proponent of sorcerer-list bolt/ball spells, but I do believe having a stronger bolt AND ball spell than wizards crosses into their 'territory', so-to-speak, a little too much.

Ok, so you're not stuck on it being 719. Fine, let's go with 716 instead. Now it may not necessarily have to compare to 518, but you're still asking for the highest level single target bolt spell in the game. Still gonna be a problem with wizards and neither a bolt version of DC or disease serves any real purpose for sorcerers. It also completely ignores the fact that the traditional CS version of disease is useless as a hunting spell. Personally, I'd rather see development used to make the CS version of disease have a useful hunting application than make an option to use it as a bolt spell that does little more than cost three more mana than Balefire.

How do you propose to make a 716 bolt better than Balefire (including demon flares, the ball splashes that often provide useful stuns and a little extra damage), less effective than 518, yet not overpowered? And, I have to ask again because "I do think we need a higher mana, hard hitting BOLT spell, in addition to 713, a higher mana, hard hitting BALL spell" is not an acceptable answer... Why do we need this bolt spell? Who would use it instead of Balefire and why? If your answer is because it will have a higher DF, why is a higher DF needed? I can hunt with 713 just fine. The fact that it is a ball spell is a benefit that I would not neglect to use in place of a higher level, slightly more costly, slightly higher DF, single-target bolt spell.

>If you can't see the 'inexplicable' reasoning behind that, I don't know how to better explain it.

You've explained nothing other than a simple desire for a higher DF bolt spell. There have been no reasons as to why we need a bolt/ball spell that is better than Balefire. I can tell you that I am able to hunt perfectly fine with Balefire (with or without demons providing flares, single target or groups) and that I see no need for a higher DF spell. Is Balefire somehow failing for you somewhere? Your desire for a higher DF bolt spell, a spell that would in turn be better than Balefire, remains inexplicable (this means unexplained or incomprehensible). You're going to have to offer more than simply stating a desire for a higher DF spell if you want something like this done. As it stands, there is just no reason to tie up development to create a spell that truly has no purpose.

I wouldnt mind a bolt version like you proposed. instead of damage based on targets mana how about extra chance to flare another cycle? So there is a chance based on lore EMC training that if it hits a target with mana it drains some of that mana and adds another cycle of damage?

This would keep in the theme that its better against mana users, but leave it still useful against squares.

Player of Malisai

I'd rather see the 705 bolt first for younger characters and mana reasons.

I agree, and said so in the original post. First priority, to me, at least, is a bolt version of 705.

Anyways, I suppose I should caveat this with the statement that I don't expect either of them to get implemented, or even any more dev at all on sorcs to be done for a long, long time.

This is how I envision a bolt-version of Disease. The bolt would essentially be the means of delivery for the disease. You'd have an initial bolt, which if successful would do damage on its own PLUS plant the seed of a disease, triggering one or more CS cycles with a TD pushdown effect, dependent upon the attack roll. The disease might be similar to the already implemented version, but with a bolt-delivery you'd give us an effective attack option when TD is an issue. I could see this not only supplanting the near-useless Disease we have, but potentially filling a hunting gap. Well worth the 16 mana, in my opinion. Of course, that's assuming the initial bolt is worth the effort.

~ Heathyr and friends

syb's right about 713. I dont think we need a higher-level bolt. I mean, I take ANY dev we can get, but I don't think we need it. rather see a bolt 705. i think 705 is rather lucklaster as-is anyway. I dont kill creatures that much faster with 705 vs 702. with a bolt, that might change.

the demon flares ARE really good. I've had 70+ damage from them routinely.

however, my AS sucks. unless you have a really weird training regimen or are far enough post-cap to have 75 MnE ranks

I think my AS is around 440 WITH sigil of offense, major bane, and star curse bonuses. even IF a sorcerer has maxed spell ranks, they still have less bolt AS than other professions, if another post I saw in the balance folder is correct. even if it's only a few points difference between the next profession up which I think is clerics, then empaths, then wizards with the most bolt AS.

my beef is that it takes a really long time to even come close to the other professions bolt AS.

people say we have access to scrolls so it balances out, but that's hooey. other professions have that access too, and its not like bolt-AS boosting scrolls are all that common.

~Moredin

It sounds like a small amount, but I think Curse of the Star should get a +5 to the default AS boost. That would, at MAXIMUM training, put us with +2 AS over a Cleric, assuming the Cleric had no blessings lore, since every 10 ranks gives a Cleric +1 to AS. Its a trivial amount, but its a step in the right direction, and its not an "end game" bonus, its something every Sorcerer could get as low as level 15. As Moredin pointed out, its not just that we have the lowest bolt AS, but we take the longest to reach our "maximum possible" bolt AS. For instance, Empaths and Clerics can recieve the full maximum bolt AS as low as level 15, modified only by extraneous Blessings lore and "bonus capped at level" . . . in other words, they have achieved 100% of their possible AS for that level by level 15, and could theoretically stop training Major Spiritual entirely. Sorcerers cannot keep up with that kind of training in the Minor Elemental circle, at least not without dramatic sacrifices.

In other words, slightly improving Curse of the Star provides a minor bonus to ALL bolting Sorcerers above 15 (hey, magic number! We'd be just like Clerics and Empaths!), despite the fact that it is very difficult to obtain our highest bolt AS before cap.

I also think that Curse of the Star should add to melee AS, given that we are without a doubt the weakest melee profession in terms of AS and melee-combat benefits. Either that or a suggestion I made earlier this year about Cloak of Shadows giving Shadowdeath flares to melee hits made by the few Warcerers out there. Severity and likelihood of flare influenced by Sorcerer circle ranks, Demonology, and Influence.

>I dont kill creatures that much faster with 705 vs 702.

I've experienced similar; if an enemy takes 5 hits of 702, it takes 4 hits of 705. I know that killing faster is supposed to take more mana, but spending double mana for a 20% reduction in kill time is not quite the same thing.

A mountain of rubble blocks passage to the east, rising nearly to the top of the remaining walls. While the debris appears packed together at the base, traversing the upper portion is hazardous. The damaged floor wears a visible slant in one area, with seawater from below pooling in the corner.

You gesture.
Your surroundings blur for a moment . . .

[Kharam-Dzu, Town Gates]
A sturdy wooden gate is set into the massive stone walls surrounding Kharam-Dzu. Mail-clad guards with pikes and heavy crossbows pace back and forth atop the walls. Dwarves, burros and the odd giantman or human travel the broad cobblestone street which leads south into town. A squad of dwarven militia drills on the small, rocky parade ground to the east. A cloud of dust surrounds them as they march to and fro, the sound of their marching barely audible over the din of the crowd at the gate. You also see a militia drill sergeant, a wrought iron sign, a wooden barrel, a black glaes bench with some stuff on it, a dark ladder leaning against a large invar-plated tower and a dark ladder leaning against a large invar-plated tower.

I like the idea, but if I had to choose between it and chain reaction DC. I choose chain reaction DC.

Why? We already have a bolt spell, we don't have a direct damage CS spell that can hit more than 1 target (135, you don't count, sit back down).

135, mass cs spell, did not realize it was deadly...
