Sorcerer Spells

[RunR31]

I have a few questions about sorcerer spells. I know back in Gemstone III first aid and I believe even trading and such skills effected some of the sorcerer spells damage. I was wondering if this was still in effect or did lores replace all these other skills to improve the spells. Also what lores help with what spells and how much does open hand casting help? I know spell aiming and possibly perception helps with implosion but do any other skills beside lores help with spells?

First aid no longer affects damage when casting 705 - that was changed in the switch gs3/gs4.

Trading??? thats one I've never heard of.

Perception - no longer helps any spells.

Spell Aiming - helps limb disruption, 111 firespirit, and focused implosion.

Stance and open handed casting are also prime factors in damage per cast. (offensive and open handed being the greatest).

I think channeling is a factor but I cant remember. :?:

demon lore helps with raising demons

necromancy helps with raising corpses and limb disruption

I'm sure I'm missing some (alot).

To add to Ganalon's post:

MOC will raise the maximum number of critters in the room you can stun with FI.

Channeling only affects 705 and 702.

Open hand aspect only affects 702.

Stance affects 718 (td adjustment) and 702/705 when channeled (more less damage). Note, you have to channel these spells (702/705) to get the advantges of open hand/stance.

Necro lore also affects the maximum blood you can pull from a critter using 701, and demon lore also decides if your cloak will get mad at you when used to cast spells. Demon lore affects phase too...think it decides what the max weight you can phase is. Demon lore also reduces the affects of multiple spells torments running, or being stunned when using 718.

Necro lore also affects 711, you only get the big hard rt with necro lore.

Spell aiming also helps 710 focused.

Elemental lores increase the crits on 719...

Besides that I think you hit them all...

Wow, maybe tonight I'll go back and list out each spell and which skills affect it in a more orderly fashion. Anyone wanna inform me of what I missed? Drayal! tell me what I'm hazy on.

1. You missed out perception has a great effect on 720 focused Implosion.
2. Also FA adds to the damage factoring in 720 focused implosion.
:D


In all seriousness, you've pretty much covered it, man.
