Godsfearme Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Currently force lighting for assassins is all but useless because it takes to long to channel, does little dps, and once you move the channel breaks. Similar to the moving diagnostic scan on the PTS, allowing force lighting to channel on the move will give the assassin another move to use when running from the current ops boss circle mechanics and give purpose to a move that currently does not matter.

Kuronan Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Currently force lighting for assassins is all but useless because it takes to long to channel, does little dps, and once you move the channel breaks. Force Lightning is mostly for leveling while your auto attack damage is negligible, and for Darkness Assassins is replaced by Depravating Bolts. Force Lightning, if it could be channeled while moving for Assassins, basically slows targets for 3 seconds on a 6 second cooldown while doing damage. Meanwhile, if Sorcerers could do this, Madness Sorcerers would become FotM because they could throw Affliction for a 30% slow for 18 seconds, Creeping Terror for an Immobilize, Electrocute for a Stun, they have a gosh darn Shockwave, and a Static Barrier, all of these combined with the fact they drain health from you and they are already hard enough to deal with, making Force Lightning an ability they can cast while channeling is absolutely ridiculous and would throw balance out the window. If you really like Force Lightning, consider making a Sorcerer (even though Madness' lackluster damage currently makes it weak as hell) or respecializing to Darkness for Depravating Bolts (which looks way more awesome) but Assassins should not be using this spell much. You picked an Assassin to twirl your double-bladed lightsaber in their gut, not electrocute people constantly. Also this would be better in your respective Class Forum.

FerkWork Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Depervating volts on the move is coming. FL on the move would make Madness OP. Also mobility arms race is absurd. Edited May 12, 2015 by FerkWork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zharik Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Would make Lightening Sorcs insanely OP. Lightning sorcs do not use Force Lightning... at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknessdanielc Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Lightning sorcs do not use Force Lightning... at all. I do. Sometimes it actually works well to quickly do that little bit more damage to finish someone off. Like Tesco's motto "Every little helps!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
