Note to Mages

At this point I'd honestly say you're better off just taking low damage numbers out of your sig. I had nothing to do with this round, but Mict? Ephemerals? Buzzflies? Overall, none of these are good examples anyways. Drakesbane is one of the strongest WS in the game, so of course people are going to give you crap when you post numbers than pretty much anyone can beat.

True, but they act as if that -50% piercing means nothing, when obviously it's going to make a huge difference compared to someone smacking it with slashing or blunt. I'll go filter through 200 screenhots for something acceptable I suppose.

Why not just post damage you've done to a real mob? I even said that was a shitty Hi, and I used a terrible weapon for the Jin, stop thinking you're awesome when you won't even post your characters name.

Even taking the damage reduction into account with him, 7k is not that impressive of a number on him. It's not a horrible number by any means, but it's still a magnified amount of damage by enough to not be boast worthy.

And yes Blitzrhal (sp?) can hit but not proc if the stun from it procs. Hopefully they either make it able to proc even with the stun procing or switch it out with another thunder based spell that does not have said problem. I think the main problem with 1k needles is not really the acc but the time it takes to cast it without being interrupted or land unclean.

For Blitzstrahl to successfully trigger a proc, the mob must resist the additional stun effect to it, to the point that sometimes it takes removing all gear and even equipping a Terra's Staff to drop your magic accuracy down.

For 1000 needles it's both the accuracy and the cast time. I can't tell you the number of times I'll cast 1000 needles with Burst Affinity, Convergence, Apollo's Staff, Atma of the Merciless Matriarch, Atma of the Ultimate, Ascetic's Gambir, etc, and still miss the mob, and it not even be a mob that's resistant to the light element at all. 1000 needles just has horrible accuracy as is, and coupling that with such a long cast time makes it probably the worst proc spell in the game in my opinion.
