Respec Void ?

- The above block/parry fix will also fix an issue with opponents appearing to be "in melee" and having bolt spells fired at them blocked more often than intended.

- Bolt Spells in general have had their damage calculation modified so that it now uses 50% of the target's spell resistance and 50% of its armor. Previously, it was using 100% resistance and 100% armor in the calculation. This means that bolt spells will now do substantially more damage against all targets.


energy debuff,
fast dd,
gtaoe,
2 powerful bolts that works

Not sure what you think, but this would imo be 1 of the most powerful casters in the game if bolts hit their targets ...

And the most deadest if both miss!

Seriously though, I think this bolt tweak will realign a succesful bolt hit with the current light DD line a bit more (ofc armour resist factors in with bolts more still). However I still think the damage wont be that awsome.

I think bolts will pwn casters quite serverly now. Against pure tanks its still gonna be miss and resist city though.

(not like it was pre nerf)

But this is progress still. Id really like to know just how good void will be post 1.62.

i wouldnt mind seeing a bolt with no timer .. or a snare bolt! bolts are still weaker then pbaoe .. true they have the range .. but the cast time is a bit deep when you got a zerker running at you

My housemate has a lvl 50 void eld and even if the bolts or normal spells hit, the damage is pretty poor overall :( Will have to wait and see til after 1.62 to see who much it improves I guess, but atm fire wizzard bolts do alot more damage than void bolts...and we r the magic realm, yeah right

Hmm that means I have to reconsider -again- if I'm going to respec to void... Had always planned to go full void for keep sieges (aoe, gtaoe), but because of bugged bolts with long delay, and single target short duration debuffs, I reckoned I should stick with mana for diversity and overal more effectiveness.... so I had just decided to go 50 mana 16 void... now this ( ;

Think I'll have to leave Hithwen at 40 for a while until I other people's experiences with it : /

Woohoo! Knew the day would come when I'd stop hearing void=gimp all the time :)

So to summarise : does this mean the whole 'your target is in combat' thing will go away??

Void is teh master. (and always was ofc)

Go void and hurt the big mobs when all your pbaoe-m8s sit next to you oom and complaining that they get all their spells resisted.

Go void and get the style on your side. No spell effect beats a void-bolt flying to a fast moving enemy/mob.

Go void and uncover stealthers everywhere in your reach without need to run hectically around and do da bomb.


Oh btw the bolt fix won't make them uber.

But ofc that's no reason to not go void. Leave mana for chanters and debuff for them :)

Well .. i talked to the other casters on a galladoria raid.

I was hitting the strongest ubermobs for dmg from 40 up to more than 100hp (criticals) with my gtaoe. Even on mobs the other casters couldn't hit.

I think that's not too bad dmg, if you look at the fact that it even hit the ubermanta we fought for almost an hour at the end of the raid.
(more voidies and fight would have been faster)

pfff, my suggestions were just as reasonable as your suggestion.(ok maybe a bit over the top, but that is to prove my point)

No, im not bitter about zerkers being nerfed, they needed it, We'll see if they overdid it or not when 1.62 goes live.

You go take a hike, im happy with my trying to stomp out the stupid ones with irony and sarcasm.

ok so i guess that fact there are things i wouldnt mind tryin 1 time to see the difference makes them stupid things - i said nothing about actually wanting those things to be applied full time in game, i said i wouldnt mind seeing the spells, aka it would be intresting to see them in action to see if it would make void elds any more useful in RvR combat ... wtf is the problem with wanting to see a bolt without a timer? .... have you played a void eld? do you even happen to know what timer im talking about? im not talking about instant cast bolts of anything im talking about the fact you dont have to wait 20 odd seconds to cast 1 again after the first 2, the fact that they do so little dmg anyway, means its not a stupid idea, its just unlikely to happen. allow me 2 dream without your pathetic flame posts on this board. if you have an opinion on void as a whole, im happy to debate but otherwise FO

Bascially, GTAOE is not a targeted spell, you aim at the ground. Most people know this, what they dont know is that a side effect of this is to remove the level vs level part of the damage equation that introduces all the resists.

Chanters are nice enough for low purple mobs ;) Anything really epic and youll be better of with a void mage.

I experimented a lot in galladorial, as tyka mentions some mobs can be hit with cold or heat damage, i suspect these mobs have been designed to be 'vunerable' to a particuar type of damage as even my baseline nukes seemed to work on some types of mobs.

Oh and for that silly little flying flame thing that circles one of the bosses in Galladorial, use void bolts, they hit every time ;)
