Just saying, I mean, you can choose to ignore the facts. (Fact being that he said it.)
I suppose the word evidence could be misconstrued, but I think at this point, it should be understood as "sufficient evidence to prove the case,' which has yet been presented, at least according to the Dev in question.

You've presented facts that make my argument invalid, rather than accepting these facts I will claim you're attacking me and my views. Admin, please remove the post I've quoted because it is harassment.
Thanks.
To try and get things back on track, Estild has expressed willingness to discuss the Elemental Overload design that was teased. I think the more mechanically inclined should bite into it a bit and see if it meets the shortcomings that have been expressed. No matter what, I think we're well past the point of trying to convince anybody who has a strong opinion about whether said shortcomings exist or not to go to the other side.
It's not a commitment to having it done, or done immediately, but if it makes the game more enjoyable for some people, then it's a good thing. Nobody can (reasonably) argue that adding a new spell will make things worse for anybody (unless it comes with a corresponding second change). If a lateral shift in power makes some members of the profession happy, that's better than where we started. I also just think the spell is freakin' neat even aside from this discussion, and if it was teased without this debate, I would still want to know more because I think it's neat.
I'd really like to focus on that rather than any discussions about outside spells and 1:1 comparisons of spells. What % of single target attacks can a Cleric or Empath get instant death, and with the 940 Proposal, what would a Wizard be able to get?
Since I have no post-cap data... can a post-cap wizard share about how much damage they reliably expect from their primary combat spells?

<240 runs circles around 425 and 513.
Plus you can just get the base benefits of 513 from a scroll.
I'd take that trade any day of the week.
