Lvl 1 Lightning Overpowered?

December 6th, 2000 05:40 PM

The level one damage spell of Stratos has a similar if not better damage than Wrath, but has a MUCH, MUCH shorter recharge time. Any comment?

Strat really needs the extra grunt in early game so as not to get wiped out before some of the hoopier units come along. I say it's only fair.

what you say is true. one thing about lightning is it can miss. Wrath ALWAYS hits.

Lightning can also hit a friendly target if it gets in the way.

I think they are well balanced.

OF course that does'nt matter if friendly fire is off, so it depends really.

True but friendly fire is where it is at!

Lightning does the most damage of all the
level 1 spells, and has the fastest recharge
rate.
However it only hits one unit, has the
shortest range, it can miss, and it can
hit your own units.

The recharge rate is almsot too good to
pass up though. I have had pretty good
success with combining freeze and lighting
on enemy wizards.

Well in light of what many people believe to be Stratos' underpowered early units, I'd say this spell is quite balanced. That's actually something I've noticed with Stratos, he has some delicate units but alot of spectacular spells. I love fence

is anything balanced for you guys?? I just want to play a balanced game like the rest of you but the only true claim i can see is the fallen. Everything else seems ok to me. However, Stratos' guys are pretty weak...you gotta be a good spell caster to play stratos. I dont really know what to say about any of this because i cant back up any of my claims...i just play the game and see what i see. I don't set up 5 melee v 5 range or anything like that.

I'm just kinda of seeing posts that this and that are unbalanced.

But thats what this forum is for so people can put in their two cents. Maybe if you find something too overpowering you should stop using the same tatics and swith them up to take advantage of the wizard using his lightening spell or smth.

Who wants to play a balanced game? If it wasn't unbalanced all the sides would be the same!

Well i think that having different characters is very important and that makeing them balanced but giving them idividuality is very difficult. I for one would rather keep the game varied then have all the same units cause then what would be the point of having two different sides. I think thats what my original post was trying to say that even though sides may be slightly unbalanced...thats kinda the point that each god has his own strength and weaknesses and one of Stratos' strengths happens to be lightning. IMO i'd like to see thinks stay the way they are then change things to the point where all the gods have the same level one units and spells because those are actually the spells that are most used and abused very everything they got.
