So I guess this spell greys out your spell bar while it's up. I also guess that you can't fire arrows with a grey spell bar. I didn't get a single shot off in 3 castings of the spell, am I doing it wrong?
Perhaps the greyed out spell bar could be replaced with a silence effect if I'm not supposed to do anything else for the 3 ticks that the spell is up.

Thanks guys.
 
Hey I got a spells patch note today but my spell still doesn't work. Can this quick change be put atop the to do list please? (Right underneath "Make to do list")
 
Hello again.

So the spell was fixed (thanks Marza!) but now that I can cast it I fear it isn't any good or doesn't work correctly.

I tried it out 6 or 7 times, and since it lasts 3 ticks that's around in the neighbourhood of 30 arrows and got 0 procs. Since the spell costs 1500 mana per cast, I guess I was expecting at least 1 proc per cast.

I tried it again in melee to make sure that the proc wasn't coded incorrectly, again got 0 procs so I guess my answer is inconclusive.

Can I get some information about this spell, or could someone fix it so that it's worthwhile to cast?
 
I am not sure if marza broke whie fixing but this is what the spell is supposed to do:

The PBAE proc is on a 30% chance or so and it does the PBAE in a straight 5 foot line in front of the ranger for I think 120 feet. It has unlimited targets.
 
So I've tested this spell a few times, I'm fairly certain it doesn't work as intended. I think the spell is a really cool concept, I'd love to see it work.

I've taken about 50 bow shots with the spell up and I haven't seen a proc yet. With a proc rate of 30%, I should have seen roughly 15-17 procs by now (more if you count my emberflow tome of procs).

Can this spell be fixed please? I'd like the spell to stay as is, but I think a working spell which operates in the spirit of this spell would be okay too.
 
8% works too! Cyzaine nodded his head sagely when I said higher =p.

Can always adjust its duration once we get an idea of it working.
 
Is it possible to work this spell like a 'charged' proc? A proc buff that fades as soon as it procs.

You cast the spell and it adds a proc that will go off once, as a proc, sometime in the future. You don't know when it's going to go off, so it's not a just a nuke. But you also know that by casting the spell (which at the moment is 1500 mana-yikes) you will get some use out of it.

I've found that for its duration, I can get probably 3 shots off. If bow procs are limited to an 8% proc rate, then I will probably see a proc once per 3-4 casts of the spell on average. A proc rate of somewhere between 30-50% would be great since that way you will very likely see one proc per cast, maybe more.

I think, if bow procs remain the same, I'd like to see this spell as a charged proc, if possible. Otherwise 30% proc rate would be just fine, I think.
 
This should honestly just be a castable spell and not seem weird random proc thing with a bow.
 
I think I mentioned something like that to Kedrin a few days ago. Like a castable target AE with a regent of some kind (originally thought of arrows if possible as a regent but that may be to hard, so maybe fire opals?)
 
Maybe it could summon an amazing weapon only for mage pets, on say, a four hour timer. But 2
are required to be effective.
 
Don't need to change the spell that much, just make it a cast spell that does the PBAE in a straight 5 foot line in front of the ranger 120 feet with unlimited targets.
