What if Hailstorm became like Giant Fullswing
A spammable magic aoe, like giant fullswing where we just make a gust of snow/blizzard/hail !?!??!
Definitely more useful than whatever "hailstorm" we have right now which should just be called ice chucker
Comments
Yep! Stand in one place, get a few hits, and die. It's great!
the way to use it is to not use it, its just for stats right now
Pretty much this, I only ranked it for the stats.
With Will Tech, you can't be pushed and I don't think it cancels the skill.
Tho I said "Good" but at the bottom for taking to long to use making it out shined by other magic skills
I wouldn't even use it on trash mobs, there are more efficient skills to clear a room. Being stationary is not efficient at all.
Even if they do, we'd just stay out of their range, or wipe them out before it loads.
Mobs now have 200k hp and have double the base range of hailstorm in addition to adv heavy stander. And spawn in groups of 10. Also immune to cc and prevent all pet summons. Oh and are immune to magic and range.
And then someone one shots them all with chain blades.If you're talking about mages in Tech duinn, I've never seen them using Hailstorm, or I just didn't have chance to see it. Most of the time they just use instant casting with advanced magic ,shockwave, and lightening rod, and rarely meteor strike. Nonetheless, it is underwhelming compared to those skills because how long it takes to load. They aren't immune to range at least, but annoying when they just walk up to you and spam shockwave.
O' great lords of mabi please hear my plea
Share with us lowly peasants your godly intellect
And show us all how to use this skill
By recommending to use other skills
That don't even have a similar effect
Or really a similar feel.
I'm sorry but you're probably braindead if you think this skill is good. An npc wand with nothing on it aside from chaincast 4 will out dps a step 7 staff because you're gonna spend most of your time running around trying to charge hail. I challenge either of you to find one situation where hail is better than any other magic skill, and prove it.
Honestly even with my ice mastery 19 wig and rosemary gloves and gf as a personal crisis+spin slave, Hailstorm is still entirely pointless and Lightning Rod is an infinitely superior option for a skill and even then Blaze will do around twice of that, in all honesty I'm pretty sure in any higher content, even as low as lords, you'd be better off using smash's splash than Hailstorm because at least it has piercing. A full revamp of magic based on Lightning Rod and Blaze would make it an actually usable and worthwhile skill set.
I'm not either of them but boy do I ever have the most niche and obscure use that none of people who have never played anything higher than shadow warrior intermediate could come up with, check this out: Hailstorm makes wyverns re-aggro and come back to your balloon, literally the only place in the game where it's better than Firebolt because they die to a single crystal charge and come right back to give you more stars. (But people who will cite this one and only niche use for the skill as Hailstorm being good probably have/will never used/use it on a balloon, much less know what a balloon is or less still even want viscount/hawk.)
Being merely usable does not necessarily amount to being viable.
