Wands fucking rule now.

That is all.

dak · 05-11-2005, 09:38 PM

Lemme guess, no more spell refresh delay after each shot?

Elgonn · 05-11-2005, 09:45 PM

That and autoshoot.

Zehn - Vhex · 05-12-2005, 01:17 AM

No recast/reuse timer. It's just like hunter shooting now without the absurd 1k dmg crits.

I'm very happy about this. It's been asked about since as far back as I can recall.

This will greatly help caster DPS issues since people don't have to break their fingers using backup dmg. Priests will have a better time at things being able to do something besides healing without using up healing mana.

I might consider working in the wand talent in my build somehow.

I screwed around a bit with my wand on test...

The DPS increase and lack of hotkey spamming is nice but they REALLY need to seperate the wand and spell cooldown timers.

As it stands now when using my Stormrager I cannot even cast an instant spell while autoshoot is going. I actually hafta backup to cancel it then wait for the cooldown timer to refresh. This easily adds ~2 seconds to being able to Flash Heal. This brings my total heal speed from using a wand to finishing a heal to 3.5s instead of 1.5. If I'm actually having to take such major time hits I might as well use Greater Heal for better mana/heal ratio and use that extra mana i'm saving to toss a Smite or Mind Blast instead of wanding.

I don't see hunters having to cancel autoshoot by backing up to be able to use their stings. Casters should be the same.

Even if they didn't get rid of the reuse timer on guns, why the hell didn't they give us autoshoot on those as well -- was it really necessary to exclude it in the first place?

Froofy-D · 05-12-2005, 03:17 AM

Hmm this is to help fix caster dps maybe? Now they will be kinda like melee, auto attack with wand and cast when needed.

Wasn't that so hunters could be the only ones who could forseeably do constant dps with a gun?

Itzena · 05-12-2005, 05:17 AM

It's pointless though, as all other classes have an extra 1-sec delay for shooting anyway, so it's not like rogues & warriors are going to be threatening hunter ranged dps, let alone the extra ranged crap hunters also have.

No it was to annoy the fuck out of us when we're standing back and shooting for whatever reason...

I did hit 286 guns tonight, send grats by PM so as not to completely derail the thread.

FanBuss · 05-12-2005, 07:47 AM

I'm glad I spent the effort to get my Wand skill to 299. I use it all the time but now I'm even more pumped bout the dmg output!

Clericnon2boxed · 05-12-2005, 10:08 AM

Anything out there to increase the range of wands ? think a 20 pct boost would make em perfect
