Can't decide between powers...

Post by Greenburger »

Which one should I get; Summon Elemental, Cloak of Shadows or Immolate?
I tend towards Cloak of Shadows, but I quite like the elemantal summoning, it's cool.
Immolate does 75 fire damage, so it can be very nice... you can cast it really fast so you'll do a lot of damage and fast. I already have Fire storm but it does it's damage slowly, it does 25 damage per "wave", which is about 25 damage in less than a second or so, and if you use it on a distant enemy he will run towards you and out of the rain. So since immolate does all it's damage in one blow and is fast, it could have it's uses (I think. Maybe I won't run into situations where the enemys will run out of the fire rain).
*Sigh*. I wish I would have tested the powers' damage earlier, than I would have gotten Immolate instead of Lightning Bolt.

Or.... I could back to an earlier save and not take Fire Storm at all, and instead take Immolate (I'm not so far away from that save).

Don't have much advise on this one, i never use either 3 of those powers. My favorite spells are Firestorm, Lightning call, and above all else, Prison of Ice. No creature can stand up against PoI, and i do mean NO creature. ;)

Yeah, I know, I like Prison of Ice too, problem is it makes you *too* powerfull, everything is just too easy with that.
I guess I'll play a bit with firestorm and Immolate and see how practical they are, then decide.

to be honest... thaumaturgy ( all blood magic, rituals and lure of flames ) is cheezy as hell in this game, I mean come onnnn, prison of ice? that's stupid, it can take out evryone eventually... summon elemental... you can summon 5 of these at once, firestorm? kill'em from a far, they don't even know you are there
oh and a maxed theft of vitae will take any human in one shot, only issue is you don't get exp for some reason, u do get blood though.
bloodboil is not that great though...
anyways, cheeze, if you want a challange, don't use these... IMHO that is
cheers
