Vp

[Xethron]

What do ppl think so far?

comments, thoughts?

(worth 14RA points?)

 

[adari]

the graphical effects alone are worth 14 points imo

 

[Hit ^_^]

imagin this x20 at a relic raid

 

[loxleyhood]

Magmatic made me go LD.

 

[Xethron]

Was thinking more on the lines of what people had found in terms of damage / fall-off / utility rather than looks and concept ;-]

yeah, and by worth 14 points, you mean will it do ubar dmg, no?

 

[Xethron]

Damage yes, uber no.

A wizard's job it to take out a target ASAP as damage is their business (see class description) - well if he resist situation weren’t so messed up atm; but on what target to do this damage and when so you don’t get lynched by four angry rats blah blah blah

Well anyway the point of this tread is as I said earlier, is VP worth loosing a level in WP and MoM for the gained utility of an insta DD while loosing some other RAs in context to potentially being a terrible mez breaking device

I would like to hear from someone who's tried it out on open field and at keeps to see what they think

 

[Bleeker]

well i blasted one off yesterday when we was in odins yesterday and we came up to the retake zerg at a keep (think it was blendrake) and we charged them....i hit 67 ppl/guards/pets and the dmg was from 40ish up to about 800 including crits, (i got MoM1 and WP3) too bad i was alone at that time..if we had had 1 more wizz i think quite a few mids would have died but we will never know

too bad i forgot to turn spell effects to none as i was very close to my target and i thought my comp was gonna die when VP went off..


so i would say if you have points to spare get VP =)

 

[swords]

my only concern is that Midgard will start whining again.
the Thane's are going to come on here and ask why Mythic decided to give Albion a better version of there very special form of crowd control.
You know, the one that affects 56K users

 

[Tekla]

well i got VP yesterday. any wizzies here who got is as well and want to try it out in a group?

 

[old.Ramas]

The hammers of mezz-break-jlor don't do anything special to 56k users. They cause frame rate problems to people with crap graphics cards and insufficient ram. It is not a bandwidth issue.

huh? I thought the servers sent the rendering commands directly??

 

[old.Wildfire]

lol.

people in daoc love to throw buzz-words around when they dont even know what they mean - poor framerate is nothing to do with 'lag' or 'latency', nor packet loss, for that matter

 

[Bilf]

He's right, it's to do with wildfire chewing on your phone cables.

 

[kirennia]

if this at all helps, I worked it out to be a 360ae insta cast bolt range 700 radius nuke...not sure what dmg type is it but it looks like fire or earth.

Very nice...literally doubled dmg since before patch.

To put it into context, it is a little higher dmg then a 100% direct pbaoe and has lower drop off so is a LOT better. Mix it with pbaoe and another wizzie too and the grp wont stand for long.

 

[old.Outlaw]

It is Alb's answer to Insta stun/mezz - it r0xed b4 patch - it r0x even more now.

 

[lac_desariel]

Me and Zoyster Drop VP on mids last night before mezz landed and a troll was 60% dead... Worth 14 points... go figure, i aint respecing out

 

[-Wedge-]

Kirennia, the AE-DD is much higher... It doesnt increase due to a spec in fire/ice/earth... So it wont have the same increased damage your normal nukes have (which nuke at around 2.5ish their delve)...

The cap of VP is around 2.3k (yes that high)... Nuke a few grays with it... And you'll see

It does around 650 before resists on level 50 targets...
