Lowest DD hit since 50 ever

[-Wedge-]

I think I've just hit an all-time low in hitting someone...

You cast a Major Conflagration Spell!
You begin casting a Major Conflagration spell!
You hit for 99 (-352) damage!

Now I cant seem to find in my logs anymore on who this was... But it was a Celt...

I've got +14 in fire, 228 int (wasnt buffed)... You'd expect to hit at least above 250... I had several 250 (-250) hits on other hibs today, which I also find extremely low, but 99???

How on earth did that guy pull of that he had like 70-80% resist?

 

[Purefun]

26 from items + wardenchant + chanter unique ra.

 

[old.LandShark]

items + warden group buff + bard chant?
+possibly avoidance of magic RA or Empty Mind RA

 

[Glottis_Xanadu]

I have been unable to nuke for more than 250 with a lvl 50 fire wiz since this patch. Offcourse, on my lvl 50 armsman the hibs are still having loads of fun hitting me for 1/3 of my 2000 hp...
And I do have resists, really, I do.. just a bit hard to get them higher in Albion...
Regards, Glottis

number of bards with high music: loads
number of skalds with high battlesongs: loads
number of wardens with high nuture: loads
number of clerics with high enhance: medium-rare and far fewer resist types anyway
number of friars with high enhance: well, should be a high proportion of the friars, but there aren't many friars...


<shrug>
Most of the clerics i play with regularly have respecced to 40enhance, giving them at least the 16% spirit/energy/body resist buffs.
If PvP doesn't work out I'll lvl my own friar and start RvRing... the realm needs group 24%heat resist buffs dammit

 

[amphetamine]

this is the exact reason i didnt spec darkness, i tested darkness on Gorre best DD damage i did was 311(-xxx), the 48 rc baseline nuke does more, resists will become nasty for fire/cold mages sorry to say

 

[old.Odysseus]

U sorry about that kind of resists?
U're gonna love it when spellcrafting comes, so everyone has maxed every single resist.
Add potions and RA's to that and you have battles where the tanks are the determining factor, no longer CC'ers or nukers.

 

[old.LandShark]

*gasp*
Meaning one day, every cloth caster will feel like smite clerics are feeling right now...
except with no other recourse..

 

[-Wedge-]

Well, resists cant go beyond 50% unless something special is used (like the celt probably had some active-RA)... (without buffs not above 26% unless ra's or race-resists raise it above that)

But when you spend 30ish play days getting level 50, and RR4... You expect to hit above 250... Actually, above 350 would be more my idea of nuking...

I die in 2-3 hits, logic would say I should be able to kill anything else fast... But with resists/ip/etc/etc/etc, I'm not able to kill anything solo... (or fast)

Past few days its not that bad, resists are up because resists arent conc-based anymore... I'll have to learn to live with that, just like I have to learn to live with buggy bolts and buggy interrupt code...

But I've been getting better groups, so it aint all bad...

But 99 damage...

 

[Phyleus]

So little damage surely sucks, yeah. But mate, think about the fact that we finally got a 2 sec DD too I personally really like that a lot and I think it was about time to get such a nuke (Hib casters get it with lvl 1 btw... as far as I remember).

 

[-Wedge-]

Phyleus, our DD droped from 3s to 2.8s (2s is rounded down)... Not a big difference, our damage didnt change...

But 99 damage on a tank that has 2000+ isnt good

250 damage on a tank that has 2000+ isnt good either...

Oohwell, I'll live... Or die and get rezzed again

 

[old.LandShark]

still much slower than a hib caster's...
well, not much, but it IS

 

[Jiggs]

enchanters have this:

Brilliant Aura of Deflection Active 30 min. 14 0 0 0 0 N/A N/A Your character receives a 30 second boost to all magical resistances.


dont think its for your whole group tho??

How it should be... bit of steel on steel I say! rah!

 

[Noche]

99?!

Poor dude

Really didn´t know that heat was that bad (I knew cold 4 sure is)

 

[Gilead^]

btw its druids who cast fire resist buff,and cold and matter...not wardens

 

[Apathy]

All rather bizarre...with the AF bug you should be doing at least 700.

Even *I* am nuking with my Body specline DD for around 350 AFTER resists!

Make a sorcerer. Even with full Mind, you'll do more damage than your wizard. ~hurhurhur~

a.

[K0nah]

u get the occaisonal freek resist but over all fire is still viable (atm)

a target with no heat resist is a gem to be treasured tho

 

[old.SadonTheGrey]

Heh, I agree about how good it is if the target has no heat resist. Nuked a level 50 healer yesterday (one level higher than me) for 458 damage (sad - I remember the figure) with no resist from him at all, killed him quick When this happens, makes it feel worth playing a wizard again.

 

[old.Mitsu]

Quick dd comparison:
Alb baseline-
50 Ice Blast (Major) Enemy 2.6 Rng: 1500 179 dmg 33 power
Hib baseline-
50 Aurora Blast Enemy 2.6 Rng: 1500 179 dmg 33 power

Fire spec-
47 Major Conflagration Enemy 2.8 Rng: 1500 219 dmg 30 power
Light spec-
45 Shadowdoom Enemy 2.8 Rng: 1500 209 dmg 29 power

Same nuke speed.

 

[old.Mick]

i hate resists! example tonight at mmg, 1fg hibs v 1 -2 fg mids , saw a noreman attacking our healer, nuked him 3 times for 250 till he noticed me and charged, qc stun , ran like a bitch, face nuked twice, mezzed, ran nuked 3 times and he had a tiny bit of hp left, then ebonn finished him off as i got 1 shotted by a sb

thats 8 nukes, and i might be underestimating it, was damn fun thou and i bet he was pissed as hell at the stuns and mezzes

oh and btw can albs not see midgets?? cos i only seem to ever get attacked by mids

if i ever hit some1 for 99 id scream, and I havent even got my highest dmg nuke yet (1 lvl togo)

 

[Hatt]

Magmatic.. i remember you and want to forget you.. you owned me in DF etc.. you hit hard, don't worry.

 

[Anu]

Weeeell the other day..

I was nuked by some wizzie for 14 Dmg then again for 44 dmg .. But i did have 45% heat resist on

Was pretty funny tbh

 

[old.Zoyster]

Lastnight Between Atk & Amg ...I bolted Memreef Freemem a Hibbie Mage for 1512 HPs

Go on admit it u git pwned

I remember that, was a discussion about it in guild chat, anyways.
Try that again when the AF buffs work and we got heat resists up, btw i one shot dd you about 3-4 times now, admit it you got pwned

 

[Pin]

Respec Earth. Everyone leaves Matter resist to last

 

[old.Odysseus]

Yeh! I remember that, and when returning to emain Tyka and co ran into my group.

I got killed immediately ofc, but got rezzed and nuked away, when it was Tykas turn to die I was OOP so I went and smacked him with my stick (for 45 damage).

Was a fun fight

 

[Tyka]

ph33r my 20% crush resists ody

 

[old.SadonTheGrey]

Yup, respec to Earth so you can bolt someone every 20 seconds, and pray that it isn't 'Blocked by attacker.' Then again, you could always pick a random tank, with his nice shield et al.

 

[-Wedge-]

Lol Sadon, you do know that Fire has a bolt too right?

Actually, 2, Spec and Base... You could do a 2-spec (earth and Fire) and get a tri-bolt wizard... But then again, why would you want to?
