319 update and upgrade to 335

[Jeril]

Divine Wrath has been updated and moved from spell slot 319 to 335. This allows for a more powerful spell in exchange for the higher level and mana cost. The updates to the spell include:


* | There is no longer a cooldown on the spell. Clerics may recast it as often as they like except if the spell is already active.
* | It will not deal damage if the Cleric is not present in the same room when each round triggers.
* | The spell’s damage no longer has deity alignment as a factor. It affects living and undead creatures equally.
* | The spell will always have 3 rounds of damage. Spiritual Lore, Religion is no longer a factor.
* | The spell is significantly more deadly than before and now affects players too! Each round is stronger than the previous.
* | When the spell is CAST, it only affects creatures. The maximum number of targets it can affect is 2 + 1 per 75 Spirit Mana Control skill.
* | When the spell is CHANNELed, it can affect creatures and players (preferring the former first). The maximum number of targets it can affect is 5 + 1 per 50 Spirit Mana Control skill.
* | Players outside of the Cleric’s group and who worship deities of the same pantheon of the Cleric’s deity are immune to the spell unless the spell is CHANNELed directly at them.
* | Spiritual Lore, Spirit Summoning decreases the amount of time before the first damage round occurs. The delay is reduced by 2 seconds at 20, 45, 75, 110, and 150 ranks, down to the minimum of a 2-second delay.
* | Spiritual Lore, Religion increases the amount of critical damage dealt with each round.
* | A few deities have updated messaging and/or critical damage types:
| * Charl: has a random chance to trigger different messaging which uses impact criticals.
| * Koar: has a random chance to utilize heat criticals instead of electricity. No change in the messaging.
| * Ivas: slightly updated messaging and will always use crushing criticals.
| * Aeia: will always use crushing criticals.
| * Arachne: completely new messaging that utilizes puncture criticals.

Jeril forgot the most important implementation.
| * Casting said new spell crashes Gemstone IV until everyone buys at least 1 locker expansion. Blame Kaedra for casting it.

....I'm not impressed

Granted that's only one of three rounds...but even with that being that case I'm having a hard time seeing myself burn 35 mana and sit through the build up phase for that.

[waywardgs]

Hmm. Maybe they'll buff it?


......


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[caelric]

The long build time and the low damage make it the monk/UAC of spells......

[Donquix]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Might want to try again. This was posted on the officials about 20 minutes ago (in the linked thread)


FYI, there was an issue that was causing the warding margin to be ignored in the damage calculation. It should be fixed now.

You're also casting at grimswarm. Try a different type of creature.

A deafening thunderclap splits the air! Rather than fading away, the sound's echoes grow, and they gather into a rhythmic, crashing pulse like the sound of storm-tossed waves breaking on a desolate shore. The power of Charl has answered your prayer.

The sounds of crashing waves increase to an almost deafening level until, suddenly, a powerful wave surges into the area, violently slamming directly into an Ithzir janissary.

Divine Wrath (335) concussion damage formula:


20 base damage + trunc((Endroll - 100) * DF 0.200)

Each strike inflicts concussion (hitpoint only) damage and critical damage. The formula for concussion damage is constant for all cycles. However, status effects, such as stunned, bind etc., will effectively increase damage by adding phantom endrolls. There is some variability with the number of endrolls added. Because the spell has a very low damage factor (0.200) the increased damage from the status effects is minimal.

Example I

In this first example the targets were free from any status effects prior to the 335 cast. The theoretical damage, based on the formula, equals the actual damage taken.

First target, 1st cycle:

Within the reddish haze, the man brings his forging-hammer sharply down upon the anvil, producing a loud clang.
CS: +211 - TD: +63 + CvA: +11 + d100: +51 == +210
Warding failed!
... and hits for 42 points of damage!

... 50 points of damage!
Gaping hole punched through the hill troll's stomach!

CS: +211 - TD: +63 + CvA: +11 + d100: +6 == +165
Warding failed!
... and hits for 33 points of damage!

... 25 points of damage!
Pressure on the hill troll's organs causes internal bleeding.
The hill troll is stunned!


Concussion Damage Calculations (Second target, 1st cycle)

Theoretical damage: 20 + trunc(65 * 0.200) = 33
Actual damage: 33


Example II

In this next example the targets were first bound w/214 prior to the 335 cast. After the 1st cycle they were also stunned.

First target, 1st cycle:

Within the reddish haze, the man brings his forging-hammer sharply down upon the anvil, producing a loud clang.

... 25 points of damage!
Flesh flayed from the hill troll's left hand.
The hill troll is stunned!

Theoretical damage: 20 + trunc(97 * 0.200) = 39
Actual damage: 42

Second target, 1st cycle:

Within the reddish haze, the man brings his forging-hammer sharply down upon the anvil, producing a loud clang.
CS: +211 - TD: +63 + CvA: +11 + d100: +61 == +220
Warding failed!
... and hits for 47 points of damage!

... 60 points of damage!
You send a blood clot to the hill troll's heart, causing massive damage.
