  Awright, time to finish up Magic.
  
  Meteor doesnt look too great though. Sure it's big damage but as people pointed out 30minutes to cool down is a bit long. Fireball would even outdamage it by then, and also Meteor just looks like a stronger and flashy version of FB. It's not too creative as the style is very similar to Fireball already, unlike the relationship between Ice Spear and Hail Storm.

  
  
  Imagine everyone in your party using it and basically wiping out the master lich spawn instantly.
  
  It's worth the AP.

  It should be called Meteor STORM ... haha ...

  Bad pun aside, thanks for uploading those videos. It's always nice to see the new magic skills in action.
  
  
  Also, yay Magic Circles! :llama_dance:

  Meteor Strike - Notice how the guy gets dark when you summon the meteor

  Instant Cast

  Moving Cast
  
  
  Fun thing to note, if you cast a spell, move then cancel moving cast... you can RUN around with the spell without losing stamina...
  
  So you would only need it to just turn on - > cast - > turn off - > run with it.

  The burning lava effect has sparked my interest. Any information now how much damage it does per second and how long it lasts? This could be very useful in missions like Tail Def.

  It's still rather dumb though.
  
  All you're doing is making bosses stupidly easy, not making magic usable. It's not like you need a shitload of Int to cast this. Just R1 this and Fire Mastery on top of what you already ranked.
  
  Magic has a really powerful one shot skill, but the magic skillset still sucks.

  The damage is nice, but the restrictions are hilariously bad. 400 AP for a skill you're literally only going to use ONCE a mission? I simply don't see the excitement. Even if you swing for 20-30k against relevant content, it doesn't matter since you're only going to be using it once. And you're still spending 1k on the whole set of skills. It's also gonna be a pain to get off against stuff that aggros quickly too.

  
  
  Well considering those videos feature the skill at rank 9, 200 int, and perhaps un-upgraded staves, I am pretty sure that at rank 1, 1200+ int and upgraded staff the damage will really be something. I mean, I can already see me doing 10000+ damage at rank 9 with my stats and all...
• Perfectio wrote on 2013-04-09 15:53
  You're missing the point. I know the damage will be much better at rank 1 with upgrades and masteries. However, nothing changes the fact you can only use it once a mission. This would be fine if say, the new magic attack was with the old damage formula, or we got a chain casting skill similar to chain cylinder. However, the actual "magic rebalance" is barely better than magic is now (actually worse because a weaker IS/FB/HS doesn't make up for stronger TH/Fireball)
  
  Frankly, all the skill does is allow non-mages to clear boss rooms in under 1 minute.

  The skill is expected to deal 300,000 damage since that is one of the training requirements in the last ranks.
  
  Meteor Storm:
  - Deals 8200~12000 damage at r1.
  - Continues to deal 1200 damage for 10 seconds.
  
  Meteor Casting:
  - Deal 300,000 damage to multiple enemies
  - Attack dragons.
  
  
  Of course that is the skill rank and we're not factoring in reforges, upgraded staffs, high int, magic mastery, or whatnot.
  
  Also, what if we got a reforge... Meteor Strike lv.20 cooldown reduction... -1 minute per level? :Q

  I guess pure Magic is never going to be newbie friendly. >_>

  One thing I don't like about the new Armor. The Sleeves/Gauntlets clip.

  Looks neat in the dark though.

  I wonder if the cooldown will get reduced to something reasonable, though.
  
  30 minutes, for a regular magic skill, sounds a bit much.
  
  Not like other skillsets can't do the same damage with skills that have only a few seconds cooldown.
  /crash shot
  /climactic crash
  /lance charge

  Considering the damage it does, at rank 1, it should be able to wipe out an entire lord spawn by itself... it will make caravan a bit easier.
