| Summary | 0008434: Flamethrower spell overpowered | ||||
| Description | Well, now everyone's having fun creating mayhem with this spell and it's clear why. DPS and DPM plus the weakness induced against blue spells makes flamethrower invalidate leafy whip and miasma whip unless the enemy is resistant to fire. I'm thinking that dividing the damage by 1.75 would be best. I think it's the new vintage insect swarm when that just came out ;-) | ||||

On the one hand, compared to other melee spells it's overpowered. (Compared to some of the non-melee spells, though, it's a lot more of a close call; a lot depends on whether the enemy is trying to close with you or not.) On the other hand, flamethrower is pretty much the only melee spell most players will have used regularly (even before the introduction of flamethrower), as the other melee spells really didn't pay off the additional risk of closing to melee. Consequentially, melee spells were pretty much self-imposed challenges a lot of the time. I'd say that flamethrower could do with at most very small debuff (no more than divide by 1.25), and the other melee spells should then receive a boost to make them competitive (somewhere between x 1.25 and x 1.5 damage). |

We'll see how these do -- they look good on paper and in my brief testing with them: * Melee spell balance changes: ** The mana costs of both leafy whip and miasma whip have been halved. ** Fire touch, death touch, and ice touch have all had both their mana cost and attack powers tripled, and their cooldowns doubled. ** Storm fist has had its mana cost and attack power doubled. Thanks! |
