    Leave it how it is or increase it a little?
    Current standing lighting wand does less or just as much as a fireball, I think eval should be taken in account or the wands are useless. Now if eval is taken in account than also just take mana. So you can still use wands on the run just only when you have mana.

    Leave them. You don't want someone cycling purple pots and a lightening wand (with eval taken into account) as you try to run away. As it stands now wands are useful in groups or as a finisher at the very end of a combo. I've landed countless kills with the little extra damage to top off a combo. It makes wands more skillful (for lack of a better term) instead of every other person running around spamming them.

    HateCrime looted a Cupid's Bow off of me after CTF one night, when he finished the combo with a lightning wand.

    My main issue is that the lighting wand does the same as fireball.

    I'm kind of curious when you're going to stop sucking so much cock. Do we have to wait for the meth addiction to take over or subside before you stop derailing every thread I'm in, into some pathetic little bitch maid trash talk attempt? Seriously, grow a fucking set you cunt. lol

    For what it's worth, no matter what you're packing, you couldn't ever kill me fully equipped 1v1, so enjoy knowing that about a "has been pvmer".

    I agree with HateCrime. Also the fact that you can run and cast these spells makes it all the more powerful. Incorporating Eval into it would just be too strong.

    Exactly why Sandro (aka Ezekiel) coded them they way they are currently coded. The sheer fact that no one can really kill a properly equipped opponent 1v1, is a great testament to his ability to balance a very complicated PvP environment.

    that's why you get skill and heal it just as easy as healing a lighting sync. Also it would take mana as the sacrifice for having eval included.

    Making OP mage-syncs more OP is not going to help balance anything.

    Because SL doesn't have/can't get wands?


    Seriously, think things through before you spend that precious time hammering the keys. Oh, I mean unless you were expecting some anti-gank coding that only allowed wands to function if there were more enemies on screen than friendlies. lol

    Nah I just expect a higher level spell to do more damage, fireball wands doing the same as lighting wands.

    lol you've really degenerated blaise. It's hard to convince people that you're not angry when you're busy attacking any bit of someone's person you can. If you're so sure I can't beat you come see me on the field you poor bitter nerd

    Oh, did you reply in the other thread and were too impatient for me to get bored enough to head back in? I'm sorry you can't take some healthy shit talking when that is almost the entirety of your reply contents for the past what, 6 months?

    Seriously, get a fucking grip. You're embarrassing yourself. If you think me using some choice terms in rebuttal to YOUR instigated trash talking is me being angry, you've got a lot more learning to do than I initially suspected.

    I have not said anything that wasn't game related dude. I think it's plain to see who is the one being defensive here.

    On a related note I think lightning dmg should remain the same, if anything nerf fireball wands
