Casters: Stormlord experiences

[Enli]

atm Negative Maelstrom still >>>> ml strorm thingies ^^

Speaking as a Mid ML7 Stormlord ( Runemaster ) I may have a different wiev. Even so I tend to think this particular path is indeed made for keeps, eventually larger MG fights too. My reasons is runies (Probably same thing in Alb and Hib with similar classes) have a tough time in fg vs fg. We do best in any kind of fortification fights when speaking of RvR.
I do think Stormlord path is very much made for this non-mellee support class expecially for the new frontiers with towers, barriers, chokepoints and keeps, where storms can be set up and defended, forcing enemies to break new holes or find other ways.
I kind of agree as it is now the use of it seems rare but then again most clothe-weares is not open field chars.

For casters its good to go ml5, not higher (unless you have time). I do think though that its the best thing in TOA that caster ml's are bad.

 

[Garbannoch]

Garb, if you qc ML ability like speedwarp etc it lands in 2 seconds. So convoker/stormlord has his uses in fg rvr. Downside, to plant a node/storm you waste qc.

this was pre 1.67 - you cannot QC storms in this or future patches

Brittle guard seems mighty useful for a soloer, and since I play a petclass, I think the pet boost could be useful. Also, soloing (which I quite enjoy to do) is not an orthogonal concept to camping. I am sure dropping a speed warp close to ATK to make life difficult for those silly Mid and Hib groups who insist on zooming past ATK could be amusing too.

Brittle guard is a wonderful way to let the enemy know where your group has gone

I really hope they're going to change the caster ml's a bit, they look pretty shit tbh. I'm sojourner myself for the fun, but it's not THAT good either. And the level 10 soj spell is a group teleport to casters bindpoint, animation is bugged and it takes 30 secs to cast.. woo

Perfectly works in 1.68 on US, from first hand experience =D
I think you'll talking about 1.69 but that's a long way for euro =D

I was thinking about stormlord today actually (being a thane who likes gimping himself further I picked this ML )
The ML10 for stormlord is a veritable chocolate teapot.. What they really should have done is make the ML10 stormlord a quickcast for the next storm cast. Instant on a 10 or 15 minute timer but allowing the next storm cast to be laid down in 2ish seconds........

Would make ML10 stormlords interesting in field based RvR at least somewhat, being able to drop a dd storm in the middle of a fighting group or PBAOE box.

That is a great idea, too bad mythic developers have the same IQ as a chimp.

Hey, they listen to me sometimes. The ml9 cloud was suggested by me over a year ago for thanes in the stormcalling line.

SHame they didn't give it to us specifically.....

Hope not, that would mean i'd have to spend weeks on that shit.

I'm another of the 4 total ML10 Stormlords.

In RvR the DD storm hits for 150-180 every 6 sec and it's on essence resist table.

Stacking a couple of em can be nice in keep defence and mile-camping, but not much else really.

The ML10 ability is pretty much only good for AE-interrupt, or for use with lifetap to heal a bit.

Arcing Power takes ~5 sec to cast when buffed to the bone.

have tried to QC all storms - didn't work with a single one: "You can't quickcast this spell!"

quickcast doesn't work for storms - that was my point

ye, i maybe should read more carefully Stormlord sucks arse in fg vs fg. only way to cast one is to moc

 

[Jox]

Your experience have a value, so why are you giving it away for free... to everyone? In real life people pays extreme amounts of money to listen to guys with experience in the area that they are interested in.

But its nice with people who share their experience for free^^

The only thing you gain; some credit amongst casual players.

The things you lose; Your advantage, which have more value than the credit from the monkey-farm.

lol, what a great add to the discussion...completely pointless...as usual...

First i thougth stormlord Rokked, then i thught it Sux. now, I think it is a waste of a month PvEing, it is beyond me how Mythic can release this whole new expansion, and give us new uber stuff, which has utility of a big Fat 0.

Its for keep doors, period, not 1 good spell in Stormlord im afraid! That DD storm bollox aint killing anything, all it does is slow u down, when roaming.

 

[PJS]

I dont even get the choice.

FEAR THE CLOTH WARLORD!
