New castable scrolls

[Zaltak]

Has anybody else made these scrolls?
I've made some lvl 80 magic nuke scrolls.They do 175dd then half that then half that again for a total of over 300 dd.The range is only 50 iirc.Has anybody tryed selling these?I am selling them for 100-200 pp each but so far haven't had much luck.Since they are all/all I thought monks would like them but like i said the range is sorta limited.

Range and damage was the biggest complaints during beta.

I belive these were meant primarily be and alternative route to 300.

[Eleena Transient]

Considering the rarity of the drops, the skill required to create, and the one shot nature of the scrolls, I'd have expected to see them around 750 dd.

[Eanelder]

I stated in beta that it would probably be best putting equivilent spell damage that you would find on weapon procs of the same level. For example Lilac, Cruel Manipulator which drops in Demi Plane (lvl 70 zone) has the effect Lure of Thunder (1090 dmg) which I think would be appropriate for the lvl 70 scrolls, or perhaps even 75 scrolls. Runed Cold Iron Warhammer drops in FC (lvl 75 zone) has the effect Spark of Ice (1348 dmg) which I think would be appropriate for the lvl 75 or lvl 80 scrolls.

Of course, recast time would have to be extended. But personaly, with these items, Id rather do nice BURST damage occassionally, then consistent low damage. Im thinking 1-2min recast.

I've been trying to sell 2 levels of these, but not a single sale so far.
They are GREAT when you get jumped and are low in Mana or HP after killing the first mob, and it starts to scape. They are usually really low on HP and you don't want to spend 500 Mana casting on it, so you just right-click right-click and it's dead.
So far I've used the Pestilence one with no resistance, and my RL brother has used the Fire and Static with his Warrior with no resistance neither.
Good hunting!

I clicked a pestilence one vs. Hanvar in Anguish and got a FULL resist. The ornate ones do 274 damage normally. If you added +1000 dmg to them, then I might consider using them more often.

People ask me about them, but I told my guild I'm not making them. It's a PITA, with very little benefit. As a magician, I can summon better clicky nukes than these!

With max skill and max trophy, I have no reason to spend time on these. I'm giving all my powders to other guild researchers who still need skill ups. It's certainly more benefit to them to make these things.

You would want Poisoning or Frost Strike vs. Hanvar, those are his weak resistances.

the design time put into these was a pure waste ... just like the thrown potions.

[Krenayn_ofLuclin]

Currently i am quite pleased with these scrolls. Using them to skill up research. Binding Powder makes Enchanted Spell Parchment that trivs at 232.

The Enchanted Spell Parchment is used in various scrolls of that triv 247 to 255.

Ive seen a guildie go from 200 to 300 and max trophy in about 2weeks compared to my almost 2yrs using these scrolls.

IMO it was always a balance between power and rarity of the items. They dont seem too rare, so their power is lower.

Personally I would have preferred a boost in power for more rarer items, but as it stands you have a much easier route to 300.

True, but as a mage I can summon a cold nuke clicky that does 3000+ damage. I'd have to make a dozen scrolls to do the same damage as 1 single click of a summoned item.

The scrolls are useable by non-casters, right? They are also potion belt enabled.

So, they might be more useful by giving them to your tank to use as a means of generating agro than they are as pure dps items.

Im of the school that non casters can use throwing potions, perhaps im a bit of a research elitest but I like the thought of these items being geared to (if not limited to) casters (maybe priests).

[Sylphan]

In a way, I think they are geared to casters.

I say that because of the 2.5 casting time. Melee types, and hybrids, aren't likely to want to stop swinging for that long in order to do 200 damage from a scroll. But casters just might be able to use it in between spells.
