They "reduced" the damage of 302 for this??

I've seen some really awesome clips of this spell...

so you can Divine STFU

[StrayRogue]

Agreed, it does alot more damage than Bane. And death crits alot more often.

[Nieninque]

Its really funny listening to the clerics on psinet whinging

[Trinitis]

I don't see the problem. An ending roll of 114 and you did almost 100 dmg?

Damn, I'd be happy.

I get ending rolls of 160+ with DC, and do less damage half the time, and DC is 5 spell ranks higher.

[Snapp]

It is a 17 mana spell. It's not realistic for clerics to use it all the time (or at least not mine). I honestly haven't played with it besides on tree spirits...which I usually use holy bolt on anyway. Anyone know if the reduction to 302 is significant?

140 end roll, 50+ dmg. Seems fine to me.

[StrayRogue]

I could hunt with this spell exclusively. Against things half my age it still takes three-four casts of Bane to kill, where-as they're lucky if they survive one of 317. Like level the effects are only broader.

Yes, sorry..for some reason I was thinking it was 314.

Also, if your trying to say the mana I get back on DC makes DC useful, your very sorely mistaken.

19 mana / cast.

I'm lucky if I get 2 mana back. Normally its 1, or 0.

[Sean]

Based on my limited hunting I've concluded that 312>317

[Flurbins]

That's because you only had the crit cycle on 2 of the casts of 317.

[Sean]

Another little interesting things that seems to be holding true for me is whether not time or mana is a bigger factor in a hunt.

For 1 cast of 317 I can make 8 casts of 302 which seems to be capped at 45 damage (more if you infuse) + flare which means I generally do around 35-45 on the intial and like 15-30 but lets pick 20 as a flare number and 40 as a damage avg. So I do around 60 damage for a 302 .. I can cast 302 8 times for 1 317 thats approx 8x60 = 420 damage or so which can obviously fluxuate based on luck or critter or infusions etc. Or I can do 1 cast of 317 for faster more upfront damage. Obviously this isn't a very scientific analysis its just something I've noticed on a few hunts against 1 style of creature. But I thought it was an interesting observation.

[Alarke]

You're missing the idea that 317 has a secondary crit that i've already seen get to 75+ and has a lot of stuns and instant death crits.. im a very happy cleric as of right now, not only with 317 but the fact that 302 costs me 2 mana and i kill in 3-4 casts still, instead of 2-3, saves me tons of mana

My conclusion wasn't based on just the shots i pased but just the hunt itself. I'm not saying 317 is a horrible spell in anyway. Just that so far in the limited chances I've had to test it I think 312 is a better attack than 317 in terms of damage, while 317 has a better chance to crit, well becase 312 doesn't crit. But for my mana and hunting style 312>317. While a combination of 312/317/302 have the better effect than solely using 1 of them.

[Snapp]

Holy bolt is the way to go! :thumbsup:

[Sean]

Just wanted to point out my bias also seems to be skewed by the fact that my diety produces puncture criticals which are my least favorite and as the same gripe when 319 not very useful against stone creatures. I'll have a better view of the spell when I go back to EN or the Rift.

[Mistomeer]

My problem with 317 is on endrolls of 200+. The damage on 200+ isn't all that impressive for a 17 mana spell.

[Sean]

More clips against things that are so resistant to puncture crits... much more acceptable in this usage.

Any thoughts on 317 post change?

[Mistomeer]

Yeah, I don't like it much.
My 2nd and 3rd crits suck for the most part.

[Flurbins]

I like it vs. noncorp undead, I can't wait to try it on something I can crit.

[Sean]

Why do you like it vs non corp undead? I would think a charged 312 would be much better for that.

[Flurbins]

charged 312 is better, but just based on the crits I get vs noncorps, I anticipate it being very fun vs. crittables.
I also hate charging up 312.

So.... anyone know anything over level 50 besides the illistim glacier that sucks vs. fire?

I didn't crit kill a single thing in my hunt with it. Maybe it was an unlucky hunt, but I did better damage with the previous version and had more crits.

For 1 cast of 317 I can make 8 casts of 302 which seems to be capped at 45 damage (more if you infuse) + flare which means I generally do around 35-45 on the intial and like 15-30 but lets pick 20 as a flare number and 40 as a damage avg. So I do around 60 damage for a 302 .. I can cast 302 8 times for 1 317 thats approx 8x60 = 420 damage or so which can obviously fluxuate based on luck or critter or infusions etc. Or I can do 1 cast of 317 for faster more upfront damage. Obviously this isn't a very scientific analysis its just something I've noticed on a few hunts against 1 style of creature. But I thought it was an interesting observation.


I was always under the impression 8x60=480. Reitterates your point quite nicely I might add.

Ice Elementals in Pinefar? :)

I always cast the other way around, 317 then 302 to finish off assuming my 317 didn't kill it with a crit.
