Mage are cracked even when they try to nerf it

[@bobnugget3345]

They didn't try to nerf surge infact almost all parts of mage and warior was green on balance doc while almost all were red for strength

[@mohxri]

​@@bobnugget3345red as in too strong or too weak?

Gave my fire mage friend a Surge scroll since I’m a Warrior, he’s burnt down every town with been too, Ravenna, Shell’s Island, Sameria etc etc

[@Selatapey]

Sounds fun, im a fire warlock but I’ll probably use my stat reset to become a mage anyway

This is more of a glass cannon issue than a surge issue, at point blank range it does the exact same damage as a blast every second:
The damage formula for surge: Magicdamagestat*0.25(playerlevel+19+power), meaning it'd do 119 per tick base with your 275 power build
Surge's damage drops off the further away you are, so thankfully you won't be seeing these high damage numbers in a real fight.
There's still a few things planned until the rework is fully complete (less resistance if you have higher range, and startup scaling with speed) although that'll probably have to wait until next month

[@astardeviIukezyx]

but he said this in the description, it's impossible for this to happen in a real fight, he just tested it out of curiosity

[@PillesArcane]

@@astardeviIukezyxyeah I know this comment is moreso to serve as further information

[@gamerx123kog]

Ok, what if you put DoT in consideration, how will that change? It feels better to me as a magma mage.

[@PillesArcane]

@@gamerx123kog As long as your surge is doing 40 per tick or more it'd apply one stack of dot per hit, dealing one damage per second. For magma it'd be 50% more damage in total

[@WEB_EnzukaiYT]

​​@@PillesArcanehey, would you mind explaining the formula in a simpler, less compressed version cuz I'm really curious as to how it works and I didn't get that far into math as to know exactly how the formula abreviation works, the closest I got to figuring out the formula gave me the result of 106,838(...)[with the old level cap and magic stat cap] DMG p/ hit (please explain ;-;

[@BlueSoulGamer]

Better to use it as defensive option than an offensive option. The move gives 30% resistance naturally, and can be stacked with armor resistance to make you basically invincible while attacking unless the enemy is running loads of armor pierce on their build.
If you use it as just a means of damage, you make yourself vulnerable to arrows, guns, 20 blasts, and more which will drain half your health even without armor pierce. Not worth it!

[@pwnomega4562]

Yeah for me if i were to find myself using it i'd probably use it to quickly and laxily inflicted a status effect like soaked if i dont feel like trying to land a beam or blast attack.
Other than that i forget it even exists 99% of the time 😂

[@PillesArcane]

yeah this is what we intended with the rework, the long startup means you can't use it immediately after dashing up to someone, it sort of serves as a close range counter type move where you shred the opponents health if they stay too close

[@adith2225]

no one gonna talk about the 3k hp?

[@gamerx123kog]

Nuh uh, we aint

[@NestAdmiral]

Id consider this more of a nerf bcuz the average damage proportional to average player distance is lower (i think)

[@pwnomega4562]

*It's only insanity 4 bro, not that bad. Totally manageable*
