Negate Magic working as intended? :D

Pixelex

I'm a lvl 47 sorcerer now and yesterday I tried Negate Magic for the first time. I never skilled it before, because I read somewhere, that the stun breaks directly on any damage.

But now I think.. this spell is OP!! Nothing breaks!! The stun lasts 10 seconds and the enemys can't do ANYTHING!! Elemental Wall, Explosive Curse, Shattering Prison! The enemys remain stunned the full time! Woah.. great.

I wish I had used this spell earlier.
Well.. is this working as intended? Would be great! xD


Edit: Well sometimes I have a bug with Negate Magic. Sometimes the "dome" graphical effect does not appear, but the enemys are nevertheless stunned and affected.

Working as intended. Its an Ultimate after all. most of them are even better than Negate Magic.

Pixelex

What? Which is better then?

Storm Atronach? Some damage and 3 seconds stun? In the 10 second stun of Negate Magic I can do much more damage plus it has interrupt etc..

Overload? Well I used this until I tested Negate Magic. It's nice, but very buggy for me. Sometimes the lightning goes on even after stop clicking. And I have to turn it off to fast switch to restoration staff. And some casts don't have cast animations when overload is active. Like elemental wall.

Meteor. Hmm.. could be nice.. I want this but only level 7 mageguild so far. ^^

So.. Negate Magic now for me!

Greater Storm Atronarch pretty much Tanks everything and taunts it too. You can burn down all the Bossmobs with it.
Devouring Swarm makes you pretty much invulnerable in AoEsituations.
Flawless Dawnbreaker is 13% more Damage Passive, always.
Power Overload does more damage than any other Ability in this game.

Me personally, I go for Werewolve. But thats more of a Roleplaying-thing

Pixelex

Vampire or Werewolve not for me.

Hm.. I never noticed, that the Storm Atronach taunts and tanks. oO For me it was only damage and a short stun, but after that the enemys ran after me again. Hm..

Uviryth

They occasionally attack you, just like they would any oter player besides the tank. You just have to run towards the Atronarch then and let him hit the mob once, he will have Aggro again immediately.

OK I will try this, but normally as a sorcerer I don't want to run into the mobs. xD

As a sorcerer, all I do is run into packs of mobs

Are you using Critical Surge with it? Also, with all light armor passives and the Exploitation passive in dark magic PLUS Inner light.... Pulsar has a 45% chance to critically hit targets who are affected by your Restraining Prison.

Ive been curious about trying this ultimate. If I end up curing my Vampirism, ill definitely pick it up.

negate magic is godly when used right. It has literally saved my dungeon groups from certain wipes many times.

It is lackluster on bosses however. Storm atro or overload = much better.
I think I'm going to test dawnbreaker when I have skillpoints to waste.

Its getting nerfed into uselessness in the next patch though.

Uselessness? Don't be a drama queen

It will be an annoying hit for PVE, certainly, but still workable. Almost no effect for PVP since this skill is very meh in PVP

And something a lot of people don't know, Negate Magic procs Dark Magic passive every sec. So you get 50% of your health back over 10sec if an ennemy is standing in your dome.

I'm using this ultimate on my Dualwield sorcerer, the long stun, extra crit chance from exploitation, extra damage from ruffian, the extra magic resistance and heal over time makes that skill for me very worthwhile.
