NF chanter/ment/anim ra: negative maelstrom

[Bellona]

Negative Maelstrom: Active 6 tick AE DoT with a 350 radius.

The damage starts at the listed amount and increases by that amount each tick. 2 second non-interruptable cast time.
re-use timer: 900
level 1: 20 dmg
level 2: 40 dmg
level 3: 60 dmg

available to: Enchanter, Spiritmaster, Bonedancer, Theurgist, Sorcerer, Mentalist, Animist, Necromancer, cabalist


newest information from NF site, so if it doubles every tick, it has to be like 20 40 80 ... etc..

so for the 3 levels, the dmg output would be:

20 40 80 160 320 640

40 80 160 320 640 1280

60 120 240 480 960 1920



or maybe did mythic just descripe it wrong ?

60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360

edit- this is supposed to be how it works according to that description if it doesn't its prolly a bug (cuz dots ticking for 1900 hp is a bit insane )

60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360

yes that be it.

 

[Bellona]

ok, just found out i read it a different place from where i copied it

read it from a RA calc that was updated with the new RAs, but it seems to be quite wrong

 

[Novamir]

that's so fuckin stupid. they should make it the other way around, high at first then tails off, because of all the chances of purge/cure etc after the first few ticks.

Be kinda fun though.

Tanks and mages especially screaming at their healers because the dot damage is getting steadily worse

but, cure poison or 5mins purge... do u think this will ever get to the last few ticks. i dont.

 

[Vodkafairy]

afaik there is no group cure poison, and with the current state of dots it's not worth curing them really.. costs less power to cast a group heal or two

i think these dots will stick till the end pretty often, when was the last time you purged a dot?

 

[Tzeentch]

this is nova we're talking about.

 

[Spamb0t]

when was the last time you purged a dot?

was what i was gonna say... its not like u waste purge for a dot.. unless ur affected by something else nasty maybe ;D

 

[Jaapi]

60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360

Yet another reason for me not to solo with chanter. As soon as i enter a milegate i'm dead.

 

[Popov]

The description Belona gave was how it worked originaly but it was changed by Mythic to work in the way others described.

It isn't a dot it's a storm which works in the same way as the sormlord ML's

I'd say anyone stupid enough to stand in it that long deserved the 1920 damage (exception being stuck in lords room)

 

[Vantros of the Delerium]

doesnt purgeing wave from perfecter line cure desease and poison for the group??

 

[Shrye]

No, only dis.

if it works like the current version of NM then it cannot be cured/purged. Why? Because it is a ground target aoe damage over time spell - that means once you leave the area you don't get hit anymore (just like a DD storm works). Complete waste of RA points.

after you see ur affected with this dot, a simple <Cure Poison> in grp instantly, and then one of ur dr00ds has about 10seconds before this starts to do any damage at all. i think they can manage it

as i understand it, this will come in NF? meaning (hypothetically) a lot of people have 5mins purge? still dont think i'd purge a dot, but it's more likely

however if its like garba said it's irrelevant anyway.
