Since there haven't been any recent updates in the ELR, I am wondering if the ELR is finished or if things are just being worked through for whatever other spell updates are coming.

| So...what were these? I'm all caught up now and I don't see any more posts. |
Most likely probably the up and coming changes to haste and immolation. And hopefully the removal of the -40 AS to spell 513....and the changes to Enchant spell....
That's all that I can think of.

yeah check this out...
You gesture at a Grimswarm orc marauder.

Warding failed!
The orc marauder's right leg explodes!

What element/spell do I cast next?

Yay!
<< What element/spell do I cast next? >>
If you are air attuned, please test 720 and let us know!
DC is the next spell to cast in most cases for a Sorcerer. Below are some thoughts I posted a while back. Some of them would only work if you are attuned to a certain element. Spells 710 and 125 would, I think, need to be set up before you get the 425 flare.
Spells that I have not tested (except for 719) but seem like good candidates for Sorcerers:
* 710
* 713 (with shien'tyr vacuum flares)
* 719
* 720
* 730 (explosions)
* 111
* 125
* 415
* 435
From that list, 415 and 719 seem like the best bets.

| I am attuned air. I have used DC as a followup but I can't tell that it works. I can say that I have seen the 'bluster' fall after a hunt when i'm sitting around in town so that makes me think it didn't activate on any of my hunting spells (including dc). |
When it enhances an attack, you'll see "The elemental energy surrounding you amplifies the attack!". For air attunement, it previously wasn't helping Dark Catalyst (719), since the latter doesn't deal any vacuum criticals. However, I just updated it so that air attunement can also boost electric crits. Also, a few days ago, GameMaster Viduus had updated the spell to correctly work with warding spells and for the effect to now last 30 seconds.
The Elemental Lore Review still isn't complete. We have updates for Elemental Blade (411) and Elemental Focus (513) coming out soon. And we're currently working on the elemental attunement reset quest.

Thanks Estild...not sure where this was posted but hanging it up here.

It's not working with DC like I thought it would. Based on Viduus 4th point in the old post below ["The effect can be triggered off of any portion of a spell or spell/like ability, so it is possibly (though improbable) that your cone will have all hits with weighting"], I assumed that each DC crit would generate a separate opportunity for a 425 flare. Based on my experience, it appears that there is only one opportunity per cast of DC, and that opportunity arises after the last DC crit.

To handle your followup questions.
-Boo hiss - seed summation 10 RANKS
-You can gain the crit weighting on bolts, CS spells, and elemental weapon/armor flares
-The effect applies to one hit of a spell/spell like ability, so if you gain the spell and cast cone, only the first hit will be impacted
-The effect can be triggered off of any portion of a spell or spell/like ability, so it is possibly (though improbable) that your cone will have all hits with weighting
-You must be attuned to something to gain the ability, and only your attuned spell attacks will benefit from it.
-Attuning to random will still use your attuned element, so you'll still get a flare if you're not currently focusing on your element of choice.
-The crit weighting is applied before crit randomization, so it can be reduced by crit randomization

It can only trigger once per spell cast and it only enhances one critical.

For anybody keeping up with it, I can confirm that a 425 flare will amplify one round of damage from spell 710. The only two spells on my list (post 1587) that I still have doubts about are 720 and 730 (exploding animates). I will test 730 myself in a few days. Unfortunately, I cannot test 720 because I am not attuned to air.

This was interesting (and life-saving?)
The water elemental closes its eyes and draws in on itself, arms crossed over its aqueous torso. Suddenly its eyes flash open and it hurls an incredibly powerful blast of water at you!
Time slows to a standstill as you watch the watery blast slam into your seemingly frozen body! You vaguely realize that you are screaming as your shattered body is blasted back into a crumpled heap!
Your skin hardens for a moment and softens the attack!
... 30 points of damage!
Blow to the eye dazes Rolfard. You struggle to recover.
You are stunned for 12 rounds!
