>What about Time Stop (950)?
A 1-3x a day offensive spell of any kind is essentially useless or irrelevant when talking about sustainable combat.
Note that both 1150 and 350 are simply utility spells because a level 50 spell shouldn't impact something you actually have to do on a regular basis, instead of in a true emergency.

Thank you.
>>A 1-3x a day offensive spell of any kind is essentially useless or irrelevant when talking about sustainable combat.
I disagree. If 80% plus of the use cases are covered, that means we need something to deal with less than 20%. And if it does turn out to be 'no mistake, no miss, can't be stepped around', it will be more powerful than anything else available to any pure, in my view.
But, you do raise an excellent point about other high mana sustainable utilities. That might be something worth factoring for, too. Thanks for reminding me.

Kindly don't forget about that 76-88% effective 716 as illustrated in my other thread. Oh right, both of those are under level 20 spells. Why are we forfeiting our single level 50 spot to achieve the same or lesser functionality as any other pure again?

>Of spells that I classify as something that could be commonly cast, the bottom 3 spells all live in the Empath/Major Spiritual Circles.
I wonder if this could possibly be because major spiritual spells are among the most protected in the lands and are rarely sold off the shelf like all of the other wizard spells of all circles? Or the fact that herbs and other empath wound cleanup exists to minimize the casting of certain healing spells.
This seems to be yet another case of punishing wizards with excessively punitive nerfs because of the prevalence of pocket mages while doing nothing but protecting and further encouraging the raising of pocket mages at the expense of post-cap power after the nerfing is done.

As much as I would like your reason to be the reason why this is true, it is not. It is because the spells simply aren't used.

>> I think we are not speaking on the same page regarding boosters etc and desired effects. To achieve parity in offensive capabilities, all pures need reliable (read: guaranteed at a sufficiently post-cap and enhanced level) crowd control and instant kill mechanisms. That is, effective panic buttons and boosters.
Okay. At least I see where some of the perspective difference are. Thanks for clarifying!
I guess where we disagree is that I see the current implementation of RapidFire as a panic button and booster where I guess you see it as... something else? That doesn't mean there isn't opportunity for improvement here though. Looking back at the list of group disablers I posted I would happily drop most of our group disablers in exchange for something with a bit more kick.
>> Wizards used to be able to rely on 519 to either outright disable or significantly damage, if not outright kill, creatures.
As someone who used immolation as a staple disabler spell prior to the changes, I honestly feel the spell is still able to disable effectively even with the reduced chance to kill. Agreed that it isn't what it once was as a primary hunting / killing spell.
So I think we all agree there are opportunities for improvement / enhancement of wizards at this point. A lot was taken away with very little given back. Two main hunting styles were pretty much trashed without any significant improvements or benefits to offset this. I'm disappointed on many levels as well even though I'm trying to keep an open mind about the changes. That said, let's identify what is working, what isn't working, and see what we can do to improve things. I think it is important that we are both accurate and specific in what we are saying isn't working if we expect to see any improvements made though.
And point taken on 340, I read up on the spell after you posted it didn't take 40 mana per use.

I agree with all of this. Particularly, the emphasis should be on preserving power ceilings at the post-cap level as much as possible, as is still the case with every other pure class, before protecting all the pocket mages and enchanters who don't even have to hunt anything dangerous to get by. When someone has 13m+ exp, they should be supremely powerful, not simply marginally more so than the 7.5m exp freshly capped or overtrained level 90 wizard.
The 515 cooldown, in particular, needs to be revisited at the post-cap and enhanced level. It's a severe nerf from the first nerf.
Please make the profession fun to play again at the post-cap level and not a more fun combat strategy to 515 some other pure and watch them demolish the room with cheaper and more effective spells instead.

This is probably a fruitless discussion, but I would guess the lack of usage of many spells in other profession circles is due to the fact that the other 3 pures still rely on a handful of super boosted and enhanced CS spells to get the instant kill done. Most people hunt as quickly as possible.
The problem is that now wizards have been given more "flavor", yet all of the combined options still don't result in as effective a kill or hunt as any of the other pures can achieve at the post-cap level due to the limitations of attrition-based bolting vs. what excessive warding margin can achieve. The power disparity is now significant, while pre-nerf wizards used to be able to more or less accomplish the same thing in different ways.

Again, the fact that many post-cap wizards see war maging as the least punitive option left to us is discouraging. The fact is, effective CS spells can be controlled, trained for, and enhanced to guarantee success for all other pures. Likewise, aimed shots are something that can be trained and controlled.
Random, attrition-based bolts and maneuver-based disablers both rely far too heavily on luck to be satisfactory to me post-cap. A post-cap wizard should have more control than ever over the effectiveness of their bolts and disablers, not still have to hope and pray, while none of the other pures has to do that for anything barring a fumble.

I won't argue with you if you feel that rapid fire and immolate were overpowered. But your desire to see wizards get their comeuppance shouldn't override your ability to reason. You know this game has poor balance. It always has. Don't blame players and wish for other classes to receive poor balancing decisions that detract from the overall product. It's self-destructive.
The fact is they took what was previously a hunting staple and apparently turned it into an "emergency disabler" - of which we actually have many, last I checked? I don't see that immolate currently serves any purpose at all. If I wanted to knock something down and prevent it from attacking I can do that to everything in the area for less mana using any number of spells available to the wizard class. We didn't need a disabler. We did need a hunting staple to give me something other than firing off one bolt after another endlessly.
There must exist a balance between "so overpowered you never use anything else" and "so weak and costly that you never really use it." We're really starting to accumulate in that latter category!

Was tasked to take out a mean old magus so while I was tracking it down I decided to see if EVOKE method of Immolation would be useful at all in my arsenal. I set my INCANT to EVOKE 519.
I used the spell at first by PREP 519 and then EVOKE {target}. It seemed to work as intended. The magus I used it on and the several warriors I used it on, they dropped and rolled around trying to put the fire out. Since I had my INCANT set to EVOKE, I just started using INCANT 519 and the results seemed different. I didn't get my targets to roll around, they just ran off (warriors) or stood there, got a minor stun or two and then proceeded to prep a spell or stand up.
Here's the last magus I used my INCANT 519 on:
(here 3 seconds has passed, I went to cast 415 just to try and knock the magus down)
The magus is prepping a spell 6 seconds after I hit him with a decent shot of an EVOKE 519. He took 2 minor stuns and my low roll on 415 didn't do anything useful to him. He was acting like I simply cast 519 at him and didn't EVOKE it.
I didn't save the hunt to a log and I can't scroll back far enough to get a clip from the last warrior I used my EVOKE set INCANT 519 on. But the last warrior took a decent endroll, then he ran off. He came back into the room about 5 seconds later and was still burning from the initial cast. I used TAP to self cast Tremors and he stood up immediately so I put him down with Ewave and then bolted him until he died.
Maybe I just had bad luck? But it doesn't feel like the spell was working as it should have been when I had 519 set to use ENVOKE when I INCANT.

One more example of the same 'issue'?
In this example I don't believe any RT is being applied from the flames. Pretty much immediately after the flames flaring up, the combatant attacked (so I would expect that it should be trying to roll on the ground if it can do something and I additionally expect that it shouldn't be able to do anything at this point in time due to being in hard RT).
At which point(s) are RT supposed to be induced with the EVOKE version of Immolation?

Bumping this thread.
Is this being looked into or am I not understanding the new version of the spell correctly?
At what point is RT supposed to be incurred with the Disabler (Evoke) version of this spell? Is there anything that allows the critters to mitigate this?

It's only 15 mana to cast as a disabler now but it doesn't seem to be working as advertised (or I'm not understanding correctly how it should be working). Clarification either way would be appreciated.

I don't really use the spell. I tried a few hunts to use the "disabler" version of the spell, but it seemed inconsistent. Most of the time the target would stop, drop and roll and stop doing other actions. Other times the target would basically just shrug it off while they still burned and tried to kick the crap out of me.
The disabler version seems to be kind of working.
I don't do fire lore with my wizard so I just pretty much avoid the spell anyway. Just my two cents.

I took a couple weeks off from hunting. Came back this weekend and this spell is still broken (or it just sucks if it is working as intended). The spell has definitely gotten bad enough that I've switched my tactics to using Call Wind a lot more frequently.
Is anyone looking into this? Is it working as intended? Have we just thrown up our arms with this spell and moved on to new projects? Bueller?
It's a sad day when it doesn't bother people when they have been set on fire any more!
Here are a couple more clips of this stellar spell in action. Some bonus irony in these clips in that I actually did kill a combatant using the disabler version of Immolation so I guess you can argue that at least he was disabled. And, of course, Call Wind didn't have any effect on the sentry. I'm going to try over training in wizard spell ranks in the near future to see if that gives a noticable boost to my Call Wind success rate. I am hoping it does given it's success against lower level critters (currently at 101 wizard spell ranks).

[Ruined Temple, Second Floor]
Aside from the water that has flooded the area, the room is plain. A single iron sconce remains attached to the wall, and the remains of another rests below the surface of the water. You also see the purple Faulkil disk, a triton radical that is lying down, some muck and a door at the top of a small set of stairs.

There is just no reason to cast it as a disabler. Its disheartening that development finds this acceptable alternative.

It's acceptable to have to cast Immolate 4783290427 times and plink them to death because we have Mana Leech, so says Estild.

519 just...ugh. It just isn't good enough.
Have you tried 415? Be curious to see your results with it. Although it does cost 20 mana rather than 15, you should see MUCH better damage and critters flat on their back in most instances. If you have the CS to ward that is.
