With many spell effects having been changed both from the original Realm and from MW, I (and probably many others) would greatly appreciate if the developers who know the way that the coding works for the spells could keep an updated list that explains:
- What the spell does
- How the mechanics/damage are calculated (the formula would be amazing!)
- What stats are associated with the spell
I've spent plenty of time in the chat in-game asking people about what certain spells do exactly (like Death Wish) and how things are calculated and no one seems to be really sure about how any of the spells work exactly.
A good example is with Fairy Queens - I was told by people in chat their damage is increased by Thaum SDM, but after putting on a full set of Thaum gear and maxing meditation on that character, the damage remained unchanged. I was also told it increased with level, but after 100 levels the damage remained unchanged. I have no idea how the spell works.
If this already exists, please forgive me and point me to it.
I'd love a list like this myself. We did it for the NPCs, so why not the spells?!
I think the info definitely needs updating. I didn't really know that Thaum wasn't increasing the FQ's. I thought, and this is something that's from way back when, some of our summons are supposed to be based on our strength and dex sats. That's what I was told years ago. And I was told to always cast S and D on my toon before a fight because the higher your stats, the stronger your summoned monsters. I am not sure it's still true for this server. I think we need a real detailed, researched and tested list of all the spells and how the sdm and the armor and weapons affect them. The only thing I know for sure is if you use a mageblade and some sdm gear, your spells are stronger depending on what you're casting.
I would also really appreciate being able to see this info, it's very frustrating not understanding how mechanics of certain spells work with death wish coming to mind first.
This would be absolutely amazing.
I see it :) Give us some time. I see benefit to it. If someone wanted to take a stab at it I would be happy to QC it.
