still good for me ... as albion for example hib or mid mezz us .. little kobby or lury pbaoe come inside our well packed team start spamming pbaoe ... BANG gtaoe spam STUN = break that pbaoe combo ... just an idea so maany others if u read us forum . So i think if it stays like this Thanes , Champions , Friars , characters wich were previously left alone , waiting hours to get a gank team , will now get spam pms like hey gank rvr team u free ?
Mouuhahaha REVENGE for them =)

No we will probably still be out in the cold:)

Anyway. The current one is badly broken, but the NF one seems to work a bit better:

Delivers a 360 radius targeted storm that procs a 3 second unresistible stun every 5 seconds for the duration listed.

Thanes who have tested this on pend states in short:

- Yep, its more or less fixed.

- No there are NO immunity timers involved. It had a mix up with camoflage, but it has been fixed. Same char can have full 3 sec effect for the max number of 7 pulses (ST3 duration 30 sec). Some tests seem to show that last tick on ST3(30 sec) is not kicking in, but its hard to verify.
- It's STATIC, meaning that it only is a fixed "small" cloudarea from which anyone are free to move in and out of. Lack of gfx atm actually makes it kinda useful.
- It is to be affected by determination/stoicism.
- You CAN purge the 3 sec stun if you are quick enough, heh. Next pulse will hit you again ofc.
- It is to deliver first stun at casting. Can't remeber seeing any cast time, it MAY be an instant. Every 5 secconds thereafter it is a new 3 sec stun pulse affecting chars in a 360 area.
- It has been broken, fixed and broken again on pend, like 6 times since beta started. Currently, first pulse do not always kick in in NF-live. It will probably work when we get NF. Now that it is an alb and hib issue aswell it WILL be fixed. Said the thane...:)
- YEP, its a pain for those who NEED to box up.
- It can also be used to enhance a box. Thane/champ/friar casts it ON the groups boxspot...
- It also have its uses at chokepoints like keep doors, lord room, and such.
- Max number affected MAY be 8. Again this is in testing.
- It has a falloff close to the edges, but it seem to be "rather" small.
- I do not positivly know if its a GT spell, but I belive so.
- It stays after the caster dies.
- It do not "stack" in any way.
- It works in PvE as well, but sometimes with strange results.
- It will be changed another 4 times before NF reaches EU:)


Is it useful? Well, most agree that yes it is... Probably well worth 5 RPS, for tier 1 anyway. IWinRA...? Nope, think not. If it turns out to be, it will be nerfed.

Hmmm. A bit crappy layout skill in my post, but I think I covered it all?

doesn't matter if it is gtaoe.. just make a macro /groundset 0. And yes, every 5 sec it gives a 3sec stun. pretty much sort of ichor isn't it?

Hope us hunters get grps too then with det and pbae snare at r5 :)

I think it won't be , maybe an IWIN Ra but for sure will be for example an anti pbaoe trick etc etc and only for that for it will make champions or thanes or friars a MUST to have in a team in nf that is .

It's a nice RA but far from a must have. 350 radius is not much and you can just step out of the area. (btw hibs get it on 2 classes: champ and menta)

With an emphasis on keep warefare they will be a damn sight more useful than savages.

With the complete nerf of determination 8v8 is going to be a very different prospect.

I think the biggest problem thanes and other non fotm classes are going to have is that most are relatively low RR compared to their fotm compatriots and have a lot of catching up to do. Personally i hope to be RR4 by the time NF comes out, i doubt very much i will be able to make it to RR5 by then.

ML9 stormlord + tangler (if they ever fix em) gives same effect with No box probs. Doesnt hit in pve (but that's a major blessing as ud never get rid of aggro), is a ground effect thus doors dont matter (not sure on walls tho), hits all in range (no max number) and are FULLY stackable.

Does ml 9 stormlord have a casting time ? if yes then no use imo . static tempest is insta . let me give an example 2 bg champ static with 2 pbaoe u go inside opposite team not to close as to cover space and people who leave etc spam pbaoe then spam static etc etc or in a more defensive way , 3 pbaoe kobbie come inside u team , let them use moc then when th"ey start pbaoe Spam static temp = they dommed etc etc soo many way to use it . U could say no really matter etc etc but just go see US forum or think about the soo many possiblities to use that ra then u will recognize that ra is a MUST have in a team . SO thanes , friars champions u wanted love ?? NF gave u much love =))

Anyone else get the feeling hibs will rip everyone a new one due to their large number of high RR casters? :p
