Doom Spike cost 2000+ exra TP

[ChiefCurrahee]

The description on the "Doom Spike" WS reads it costs 2000 TP to use.

In game it wipes out ALL TP above 2000.

It's been like this since beta. Can the tooltip be changed to reflect the actual usage costs and the benefits (if any) if used with full TP (extra damage? extra accuracy?)

or if it is a bug, fix it so it only uses the stated 2k TP?

Thanks!

It requires "at least" 2k. Anything extra is used to provide extra power to the skill.

Yes, the description isn't precise enough and should be changed.

Doom Spike tool tip description ( from NA version) :

Doom Spike:
cost:3
Polearm optimal rank: 12
requires: Disciplines of War or Magic
recast time: 10 sec TP cost: 2000

Stab with great force, dealing pirercing damage to the target and al enemies in-between

Doom Spike II
Cost:3
Polearm Optimal rank 32 requires: Polearm
recast time 10 sec. TP cost: 2000
Stab with great force, dealing pirercing damage to the target and al enemies in-between

no where does it state it will wipe out all your TP, and since it does what's the benefit of having extra TP when using it?

I understand it wipes out all TP above 2000, but why doesn't the tool tip reflect that?

Sorry for the confusion, Chief. The Doomspike ability, and several others (Maim, Simian Thrash, Riot Blade), does in fact consume TP over the base cost of 2000 up to a maximum of 3000. As you stated, this absolutely should be reflected in the help text for those abilities, and so I've just added it. These changes will go live in 1.19.

Thank you very much for the post!

I noticed this yesterday too, it'd be nice if we could gear a clearer explanation of what the additional TP does. I'm not entirely sure we any would want to use this over using 3 1000TP abilities -- Mine (Rank 14) averages 550 or so damage, where as I can do Skewer, Circle Slash, and Moonrise for 220+ damage each...

It does more Dmg. very good when buffed (raging strike etc.)

isn't this also the case with Riot Blade? don't forget to make description changes to it too then!
