I would like to see "Sparks" return.

I understand they removed "miss chance" and this is why Sparks was removed, but a logical solution to this is just to use the "dodge" chance on the caster. It was practically THE ability that made duel wield worth using. It was a fun skill and took good timing to not burn through your resources, and would love to see it come back.

Thoughts?

    i loved it and was going to make it my main skill to use but that short 4 second time just was too low and small for people to consider worthy of taking up skill point.

    Not at all man... With good timing you could go an entire fight and never be hit with a single melee skill.

    It was that length for a reason, any longer would've made it a cakewalk.

    It was, hands down the best skill in the game. And nobody used it.

    I don't PvE. So I am as well.

    Here's a prime example of it being used perfectly (Just skip to 6:50).

    Game changer.

    I miss sparks :(. They have too many things to do with daggers in the DW skill now; not everyone who DW's plays to have a dagger play style.

    What is funny is there are still certain bosses in the game who use Sparks. So miss chance is indeed still in the game.

    I started using it just before it was removed. It was great, especially with the Morph that did damage.

    I miss Sparks too.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    No thanks, all versions before 1.6 were horribly imbalanced. Now we have a much closer balance between magicka and stamina builds, I especially like the ultimate change. P2W ? What are you talking about ? Do you even know what that means ????

    They still have dodge chance in this game so I don't know why they felt the need to drastically change it. Sparks was awesome; was my favorite skill in DW.

    Never gave sparks a fair chance because of the 4 second duration, but, I'm a big ol' fan of quick cloak, and wouldn't want to see that go away just to bring back sparks. Maybe replace deadly cloak as a morph with something more in the spirit of what sparks used to be.

    Yeah, I think replacing deadly cloak with something more sparks-like would be nice. Like, we already have daggers to throw, it just seems redundant and uncreative with that morph.

    It was removed exactly for that reason: you were able to stack opponent miss and player dodge to a point where it was almost impossible to be hit with attacks. Of course that is a bad idea.

    They will for sure not bring back a skill that allows you to go up to 60% or 80% dodge after they have painstakingly made sure you can't stack similar effects all over.

    What they may do is make it to be another non stackable source of dodge chance, similar magnitude as all other major dodge buffs. No thanks, I prefer the AoE damage reduction over that.

    Yes Keron is Correct, SPARKS was actually a very OP skill if you knew how to use it correctly and anyone had access to it if they used dual wield. In a 1V1 fight and if you had Sparks on your bar, and kept recasting it every 4 secs, and stacked dodge/miss chance and used Annulment/Harness Magicka you might not ever lose. Alot of people just didn't know it was that powerful and so they didn't use it.. Some of us did know how powerful it was though..
