PWS - again
PWS - again
I assume because it didn't (apparently) receive attention the first time around, it may not be slated for any changes, but...
Could we please, please make power word stun *useful*?
I can only cast it successfully on an air or smoke mephit at awful...pretty much useless by then even on a casting mob. I think this spell has great potential, but for now it really only works in the arena.
I assume the spell will only fit into the spellcast general category, so all I can think of is to up the power (dunno what all that entails). The last thread like this received only positive encouragement from the players, so I cannot see any disadvantages to such a change.

Use it to prevent clerical mobs from wording?

7th circle: bigbys clenched fist, incendiary cloud, power word stun
If power word stun is too dangerous to make more powerful, and should mainly be used to stop mobs from wording...would it be possible to put a util spell of some kind in the slot? Perhaps oteb's temp relo point idea...Otherwise we only have two choices, target or area...

Uh, call me retarded, but arent those two spells pretty useful, and isnt the job of an invoker to do damage not cast utility? Seems like 7th circle is a pretty full and useful circle as is.

with all do respect if you dont play a caster shush
pws works WORST against priest mobs and war mobs
and there are better spells vs mages than stun.....
so basicaly... stuns worthless,
/gripe on/
and no it has nothing to do with an invokers spell *moan*
i hate people who say leave it invokers have it they are already over powered *smirk*
those people are normaly clueless about whut other classes have the spell and whut spells work dont work
/g-off/

i guess i agree.. i mean why should pws actualy stun? what sense would that make?
maybe if we downed all the rest of spells % of stun and up pws severly......

Guess then invokers would actually be needed! *snort*
I don't think invokers are that much in need of a stun honestly.

who said vokers were only one to have the spell? and this was about invokers?
why would it be a bad thing to reduce the % chance of stun on EVERYONEs stun, and increase the stun % on the one spell that is ment to spell specificaly, hence the name 'power word stun'
pws in its current state is useless an illusionist with 4th circle spells can stun better than an 50th lvl w/pws and thats the point

I don't think that invokers were meant to stun mobs. It seems to me that they were built to nuke the mobs. If pws is the one spell that is supposed to stun mobs and you don't want invokers to have it, then remove it from invokers, give it to enchanters and then up the stun %
If you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm. Why do invokers need a stun spell anyway. If it's useless, then just remove it from their spell list. Since everyone thinks it's useless then won't removing it just stop this whole debate?
