lvl 60 Mage DD spell compared to level 59 DD

the level 59 mage DD spell does more damage than the level 60 DD and it cost less mana, the only thing better about the level 60 one is that it has a shorter cast time of about .2 seconds, maybe this should be fixed?
 
I really would have to agree that there really isn't any benifit to the 60 over the 59 unless there is a difference in resist modifier. The differences in mana, damage, casting time are all slight. Both check against fire and the only remaining difference is one is Evocation and the other Conjuration. The 59 version is Evo which is the standard DD path for mages. Not knowing the back lining of Live, I was wondering if this could be leftovers of the old specialization models in Live to benifit people would spec'd conj over evo.

Edit to Add: I know this isn't Live, but looking these up on Lucy showed that SoFB (60) has a small pushback and SFoS(59) is line of sight. Could these be factors in the difference in mana/damage if those factors carried over?
 
What is the big deal with high post count? (OMG Stop making me contribute to derailing threads!)

In any event, thanks for posting the info about those spells. Is it bad that I didn't even notice that before? *laughs*
 
Yeah, I'll be turning Fiery Blades into a -50 resist spell to give it a bit of a niche.
 
Just as a note to those interested.

Yes, on live the MAIN reason for the advantange of this spell was for Conj. Spec. magicians. It was a big debate on if a magician should be evoc. or conj. as their main spec. The spells were similar simply so both types could have a good dps base w/o one haveing a major advantage over the other, espically since the nerfed pet Canni. (if you don't know what that is.. don't worry. It can'd be done on this server anyway. Time limits on reconjuring pets. )


I remember the debates going on for ages.
 
yes i was a conjur mage on live, it made me a sad panda when they released PoP and FBoT (thats Firebolt of Tallon for you live noobs, which was a base 2k bolt spell at level 61) was the new mage badboy on the nuke block being evoc.

personally i think this spell should be changed over to Magic based instead of fire being in line with the other mage Shock spells.
