Since there haven't been any recent updates in the ELR, I am wondering if the ELR is finished or if things are just being worked through for whatever other spell updates are coming.

So...what were these? I'm all caught up now and I don't see any more posts.

And hopefully the teased 450 spell!

True, but I think will all be bundled so the promised fixskill can be a catchall.

yeah check this out...

Blustery elemental energy energizes you.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.


What element/spell do I cast next?

I am attuned air. I have used DC as a followup but I can't tell that it works. I can say that I have seen the 'bluster' fall after a hunt when i'm sitting around in town so that makes me think it didn't activate on any of my hunting spells (including dc).

>The Elemental Lore Review still isn't complete. We have updates for Elemental Blade (411) and Elemental Focus (513) coming out soon. And we're currently working on the elemental attunement reset quest.

Does this mean reset will only be possible once, or will the quest be repeatable?

It's not working with DC like I thought it would. Based on Viduus 4th point in the old post below ["The effect can be triggered off of any portion of a spell or spell/like ability, so it is possibly (though improbable) that your cone will have all hits with weighting"], I assumed that each DC crit would generate a separate opportunity for a 425 flare. Based on my experience, it appears that there is only one opportunity per cast of DC, and that opportunity arises after the last DC crit.

To handle your followup questions.

-Boo hiss - seed summation 10 RANKS
-You can gain the crit weighting on bolts, CS spells, and elemental weapon/armor flares
-The effect applies to one hit of a spell/spell like ability, so if you gain the spell and cast cone, only the first hit will be impacted
-The effect can be triggered off of any portion of a spell or spell/like ability, so it is possibly (though improbable) that your cone will have all hits with weighting
-You must be attuned to something to gain the ability, and only your attuned spell attacks will benefit from it.
-Attuning to random will still use your attuned element, so you'll still get a flare if you're not currently focusing on your element of choice.
-The crit weighting is applied before crit randomization, so it can be reduced by crit randomization

Thanks for the update Estild.

I dont know when but realized i didnt see the official post (found it on an unofficial) as i had accidently at some point clicked ignore author (and not the only time it happened based on the random list of names I found I had inadvertently clicked ignore).

For anybody keeping up with it, I can confirm that a 425 flare will amplify one round of damage from spell 710. The only two spells on my list (post 1587) that I still have doubts about are 720 and 730 (exploding animates). I will test 730 myself in a few days. Unfortunately, I cannot test 720 because I am not attuned to air.

Also the command wording is completely off. Your animate is imploding, not exploding!
