I just took a closer look at this realm ability... and... wow! Has anyone used this? By the looks of it and if i understand it right, at level three it will deal damage like the following for six ticks?

60 -120 - 240 - 480 - 960 - 1920 !!! As a 350 area dot! :flame:

I've been thinking of getting this ability.. can anyone tell me if it's really as good as it looks? If not, what's the catch? :) And yes i realize people can get healed during the six ticks.

i really wouldnt bother with it. I had a look at it during my testing (god i went through so many respec's) and found that 95% the time i used this i got "Target already has this effect" spammed at me. Think i only ever landed it on 1 person successfully. Dont know if it as others used it or it doesnt stack with a dot from some random cabby, however all i know is it turned out pointless

It's more like a storm that you can move out of:(

what the other person said about dmg figures, and also, it's not a dot, it's a storm.. so if they move out of the storm (which they will do in the early ticks) they won't take any further damage..

It's one of the best RA's out there imo.. have this in a lord room or something when you zerge.. you'll get loads of rps.. or simply double it up with a reaver bomb...
Fidolix is really pwning ppl with it.. and i just can't see why not more have it tbh.. it's great in crowds..

there is a nerf indeed, 1.71, TWF is unstackable, so only one can be placed and affect those in its area, thus only one TWF can do dmg at any one time.

Even after nerf of Banelord abilites and stackable TWF, the "reaver bomb" still works great on fg vs fg or zerg for that matter :)
But as Invisibul mentioned, you cant stack like 4-5 of these next to eachother, so no more 10k dmg in a rather big area. :p
