I cannot believe they put a spell like this in the game. Now all it comes down to is who can get the first spell off. Maxed hp templates get one hit if they crit you. I thought melee d wands were the biggest joke in the game and Turbine made something even worse. I guess you can call me a carebear because i'm not going to pvp until they patch these out. I could care less about the new vitae system but now i'm not fighting since i can get one shot with 440+ hp and then rebuff and then lose vitae. No thanks. Also i know its a life spell but i'm a MELEE i hate having my wand out to vuln people let alone do anything else with a wand. I'm pretty shocked they had the balls to put crap like this in the game. I never thought i would say i'd rather hunt then pvp in this game and i hate hunting.

Not a very well conceived feature for darktide. This should be removed immediatly. A level 205 should not be ONE HIT by anything in the game. With all the time and effort put forth into ones character why a feature like this is added into the game is just plain boggling.

You claim to not have the time or resources to correct the inbalance in this game and yet you have the time to come up with a feature such as this. Thank-You for continueing to ruin such a wonderful game.

[Stewie]

They should make this spell a PvM spell only or set it up so PvM is full power and PvP it is less.

I been killed 4 times with this thing, 1 hit each time on my archer. It is devestating when porting into a dungeon and peeps are camping drop. You don't even get in and are able to do anything before you are sent on a trip back to your LS.

This was obviously created with no thought or regard do DT players. Just another sign to us that play DT that the Devs don't care about DT or want DT to exist. Its just another nail in the DT coffin.

I was hoping i would see someone from turbine answer this post.

Somewhere it seems that the direction the game is going, has changed.

After month's of no content, turbine comes out with ToD. Why in the world turbine wants to play with game dynamics, instead of content is beyond me. The system they had worked fairly good.

I have to wonder what they are thinking and who is testing.

Life magic is NOT supposed to be a offensive damaged base magic.
War magic is supposed to do damage.
In no way should a life magic spell do more damage than a war magic spell.

In case turbine missed it, I will give them a little help.
Life magic is for protects, vulning, and regenerating/replenishing stats.
It is not WAR magic. Yet LIFE magic has the most powerfull offensive spell in game.

Please stop trying to make life magic=war magic.

Are the players the only ones who understand this?

[Sizz-Lorr!]

ok, this spell is exceptionally powerful, but here is my take on it:

1. it drains half of the catser's health, they can easily be 1 hit through wards by a war.

2. it has a unique spell word and its a double pump, so if you arent getting ganked at a drop, you should know its coming.

3. its easy to dodge ^^

4. it has the same AOE of a normal ring.

so if it is used properly it is a very powerful tool, and made especially for pk. who would be willing to ring heatacomb in a room full of tuskers with a weeping?

[Stewie]

Great, it easy to dodge....except when you land in the middle of a camped drop. Trust me, you are dead before you can even move. You don't have the option of trying to dodge the thing.

Folks that are camping drops are just using this spell to wack everyone portling in. You dont have a change against it.

I have not seen anyone using it in the open, only when the peeps are camping drops or in large ganks.

Not sure if you could 1 hit them after casting it in the open anyway. You would have to run and dodge the spell. Only an idiot would cast it without following it up with an immediate S2H. By the time you get back to them they should be all healed up and there goes the 1 hit option you mentioned.

Its way too overpowered for PvP but we will just have to live with it or stop playing. I doubt that Turbine will change it since the carebears wanted it so bad and love it for PvM.

I logged in twice the first day everybody was complaining about this spell, and didn't see it once, just a bunch of ebays running around acting badass like any other day of the week. Now, from what I gather if it functions like a ring, it's range is not only crap, but it drains half the casters hp and it doesn't matter if they follow immediately with a stam2hp, it still puts them at risk for dying. That's like saying war spells suck, because everybody can just cast stam2hp's after getting hit by them, but in reality, it doesn't work out that way.

This log is showing the player take the first hit, but died from additional damage, so he must have been moving through the spell (unless the spell has additional layers that hit you). I'm not sure what the casting animation is like, but if it can be delayed, it would be easy to pop people at drops, but I doubt the common doofus would be able to do this. Just randomly casting the spell at somebody in portal space, and healing up, would leave large intervals for the player to get through. Either way, lowering the damage to 'keep it real' wouldn't be a bad idea.

Also, when you refer to 'camped' drops, is it just camped by one person? It seems to me the spell would wipe out any additional campers.

[Standard]

-portaling into a drop, jump

-actual use in a fighting, someone's managed to him me a whopping once out of 50+ casts (diff people) and I didn't die, doesn't always do the 200% and resistances play into it

-yea they need to add higher damage for otherstuff, life magic would not have been my first thought for a damage increase, but we've complained forever about not having a way to kill people faster, here's the first of probably several introductions for different classes at that.

-could use a little tweaking down on the damage, but a nice addition if you ask me

[Danilo Thann]

Is there not something wrong with "Transporter" being able to cast 5 spells in 3 seconds?

[Greyhunter]

level 3s? I didn't have a chance to move Eliana was sliding into me as I portaled in I'm not sure if that affected it or not but I definately got hit twice without moving

[Sizz-Lorr!]

its kinda cool that way. if someone is meleeing you you can pull them through if you are sliding when the ring starts, same as tusker fists. if you are moving into someone when the ring pops out, same thing.
