PoisonCloud needs tweaking

[WildGirl]

Yes if you go PB u'll see lower numbers as monsters have higher MAC.

Yes, but this is normal. Instead, it's strange that there is a so marked difference between a cast and the other, a fork of 10 points is what I would have expected, not 30 points.

Last time I checked the private server was trying to reproduce the official server not the other way around. If I am opening my own server tomorrow and I am doing every skills the way I see fit, Tell me on what other official server you played with PoisonCloud/PoisonField ?

P servers aren't trying to reproduce official servers, they are run by people who love the game and love coding. They take the basic game and add change things to freshen it up
Loooooool Did you play euro? Really? This is a euro style server. Unless you played Korean Mir you have no idea what "official" poison cloud is like. Would you want to? USA mir wanted to get money from players, so they made it so even the useless could be successful. Overpowered spells gameshop buffs, heros. Gaming has changed, its become a very big money making business. Yes fine but that's why private servers are more fun/better if competent people who love the GAME run them. I don't want to be screwed like USA. Unless you understand the code you have no experience/understanding at all of a euro style poison cloud. Do not use USA as a guide. It was clearly run by people who did not understand the game didn't play it and simply wanted your money. P servers change things add things. The ones that are balanced and fun to play are the ones that last and have more players. Talking to Chinese players in the USA version, they played there because it cost huge amounts of cash to compete on the "official eastern servers". I don't want to play where credit card warriors rule the server and where players are so overpowered they one cast kill everyone else.

From what i see it aint worth killing up yourself to get a spell which is weaker than normal poison

 

[BLaPP]

kinda sucks that the level equivalent to this spell is FF for wizzies, and pro field or rage not sure for warriors , and it seems 2 suck ass , and from what im hearing doesn't get much better =/

I still honestly dont see a problem with it. It does need to apply proper green poison yes, but the damage ticks are fine.. lol Its more of a knock back than AOE damage. I use it ALOT.

 

[WildGirl]

So 2 damage/tick with that SC 12-67 luck 2. That was on Sam's TEST SERVER.

Problems:
1. Shouldn't get that stupid low hits EVER.
2. The green poison resulted from PoisonCloud is doing 1 dmg each 5 second no matter your SC. That needs fixing too.

I read this whole thread and am still waiting to see you or john show the damage you speak of.

So even the 1 poison dmg per 5 sec resulted from PoisonCloud is ok in your opinion ? We must be playing different game versions. Try using PC on a PB monsters or Vipers with "half decent SC".

Looks like I am the only one who's complaining among the few taos that 1 has it to lvl 2. Most of the taos owning PC hardly use this skill and no one is interested in seeing this skill taken care off.

Good fight me I guess, reminds me why I avoided playing private servers until now.

Also when you say you tested it, what monster you hit with it ?

Also warrior 1 hit kill now wizard...good fight again.

Indeed, this is becoming a joke and its funny how stupid things spread.

Iam the only voice here, so Sam doesn't even breaks a sweat. Look at OKR no stats thread = ignored.

Am just one of the few taos who hardly use PC as its crap so just use it to kill moths or when wizard solo TSing
It be nice to see something done about it but to be very honest with you i don't think it will change.
No disrespect to Samuel but i don't think his knowledge of the skill is that great so he just of to go by what players say and this thread as gone from trying to help the team balance a game to i hate you so quit bitching...

 

[WildGirl]

With 80 sc i see the 50-60 dmg. But problem is: you need high luck also, and still even if you have 50% chance to cast 50-60 dmg with PC..you can get under 10 dmg even 10 times in a row because that is how odds are.

My point again: that very stupid low dmg is bugged, so is the green poison. On top of all PC freezes clients sometimes ;-i can't say the exact conditions needed to freeze but it happens. Maybe the best attribute of this skill is - freeze ur enemy game :lol

For those ingame when I shouted, this has been edited at the start of the week.

Had a few people login to a private test server and they seemed happy with it, same for tdb.

Will need feedback after reboot tomorrow.

this still needs fixing, getting 5-15 dmg 5-10 times in a row then occasionally a 30-50+ dmg. this spell is so random its not worth using, and for a lvl 43 spell with a huge cooldown and requirements to use + the fact targets need to be moving inside the cloud to recieve constant damage , its fairly pathetic to say the least.

I agree but when I look around I can see FW doing stupid lows, tdb and more skills. So since isn't happening only for taos it's not a bother.

 

[Kamikaze]

With luck 7 my firewall sometimes misses all together!

 

[Jicaa]

I only have level 1 firewall, but I did notice it misses and often does hit for around 4-8 damage or so, when it's does the proper damage i see 20-30 damage, but as said by others it seems to happen 50% of the time
