Fan out - a bit too much

[Blays]

cabs dont have a heal debuff which siphons heals

Obviously debuffing heal is much worse then 15 corpses. Dude your value of life is next to 0... that is not normal.

And, Devouring Shadows is bugged and being abused to do its damage.

Its not bugged. Fire Storm is exactly the same.

No they can just heal themselves and everyone else by having 11 Justicar.

Devouring Shadows is bugged because when traited properly, it delivers damage the moment it is pushed (and then theoretically again and again in pulses) but guess what.. if you just press the button, cancel the cast, press the button, cancel the cast - the pulses come much quicker than the ability is meant to deliver.

I'm sure this is not intended by the Trion team. I'm sure they wouldn't make an ability, say it can do X amount of damage, but then deliberately give players a way to double that damage by scooting around their own mechanics.

Range.

As a Cleric, I've got melee range AoEs, and ranged single target spells.
As a Mage, I've got targeted location AoEs, and channeled and non-channeled ranged single target spells.

Admittedly, as a Cleric I can cast my spells, and do melee AoEs on the run. However, as a Mage, I'm stuck to one spot. And when I'm dead before i can get into casting range, it tells me that the Rogues range is one HUGE advantage, that might even be considered as OP, for PvP AoE spammable attacks.

who cares about range if it does no damage?

cleric you can spec it to have 25-30m range and it only takes two of you to one shot people

comparatively it takes 30-40 rogues using fan out to one shot anyone

If it takes more than one, then it isn't one-shotting. Just saying.

point of the post was that fan out is sub par damage even if you had multiple rogues doing it. also the fact of the matter is unless fan out is magically killing ppl by itself from just one rogue then its not OP. having 4-5 rogues spamming suppression fire is no way to consider an ability OP.

[Mirimon]

meh, you guys got ur wish, aoe doesnt proc our stuff.. meanwhile anything cast by another class does, suprised you arent complaining about eradicate spam again either, since all the other classes have 2-4 buffs each that cannot be purged, while rogues can have ALL of their stuff purged.. oh, and fel blades is the exact same thing, and can be applied via fanout if chosen.

anyways, with the accolades out there in wf's people are instantly alerted if somebody starts doing good, and is there by focus fired...

I'm not disputing that. Just saying if it take two characters together to kill someone with an ability, it's not one-shotting, that's two-shotting. I'm mainly just teasing really.

they do stuff and my hp bar goes from full to zero with no chance at surviving.... whatever u want to call it go ahead baby

wish rogues cud do that...

[GoldenTiger]

If you're worried about AOE damage (which isn't OP from fan out, I laugh when I see marksmen spamming it and just heal through it easily) try spreading out from other members of your team. It only hits people near the original target.... .

Is there something you didnt understand when I said Fire Storm is exactly the same? Both deal instant damage. You have no idea what you're talking about.

So the only possible solution is that it's intended? Duhhh how about.. "They're both bugged." Does that make sense to you?

[Nayobe]

Heh, I wish my Vampiric Munitions did 130k heals- Too bad it can be dispelled eh?
Nice exaggeration there .
Fan out doesn't do as much dmg as mage/cleric aoes. With full valor (1150), I've seen Devouring shadows crit tick for multi 1.8k hits, ffs.
Hell I bet a Cab with points in justicar spec would prlly heal more than
that PoS munition know as Vampric.
Oh and, running while casting any MM ability as 51 Marks, nerfs your dmg by approx 35% btw.
******ed thread, that is all.
SO much other crap you could be complaining about.

It's not a bug, it's just the mechanics of the game. P.S. You burn through mana quickly doing that!

What's the difference between that and 4-5 Mages, Clerics, and Warriors spamming AoE attacks?

- Vybz

actually its a big difference, rogues do it from way in the back and its literally spam, as in smash the button as fast as you can for more dps. Warriors AoE is melee at least.
