I can hear it rising up out of the fields of battle like the cries of carrots on harvest day.

The rain of tears threatens to becoms a flash flood on the motherforums.

Entirely true, but it's the MM spammers that are leading the heartbreak brigade.

Heavens no, they'll have to figure out another spell to cast...   Roll Eyes

TLDR:
Shiradi now procs buffs on mobs like radiant force field and Adrenaline so they'll one-shot you.

I shouldn't have to point out that it's the vast majority of Shiradi that are complaining, because they're the ones that will have it proc way more frequently than others.  It proc'ing on occasion in other builds, no big deal.

I think the Adrenaline proc is just a hilarious bonus.  As if those kiters stand close enough to a mob to get melee'd.

I'm sorry but from what i've read in that thread it is mainly colors EPL people that are complaining.

lol the adrenaline proc will likely turn out to be an unintended griefing tool. as could radiant forcefield. turn off all metas, take off all impulse/kinetic gear and start happily spamming for raid boss adrenalines and radiant forcefields.  Grin

All shiradis should be in Stay Good for light procs against undead in the new stuff anyway.

People act like Double Rainbow is so great but I doubt it holds a candle on Shiradi casters to the Core procs which are the majority of Shiradi damage anyway.

You should definitely NOT use Colors or Double Rainbow against Raid bosses, ever. The damage is spotty and a lost of the effects are worthless bosses (not all of course). But 7% chance of getting actual damage is a much better option in my mind.

Colors of the Queen you are just out and out fucked on. At least you still have the HP. Casters should be rocking Arcane EPL (Crit or Implement increase from Enchant Weapon) anyway I wager.

so you want to give up 7% of random 1d100 damage and 7% of random effect for 7% of 3d20 light damage?

the arcane EPLs will help sorc shiradi but not so much wiz shiradi (who rely mostly on force damage). Either way colors used to be a better EPL. Not so sure anymore....

You don't have to train Double Rainbow, the damage just comes from Rainbow.

Here's the thing.  The list will get changed again (there's no confirmation poison traps are going off anymore).  But, we all know who bought the Epic Otto's Boxes now don't we?

Other than Icywave no I don't know and don't really care. I haven't bought or used any so getting EPLs is a real grind for me.

I don't think naming names would be a good thing for me to do, but I'd pretty much add anyone who's a know-it-all dick on the list.� Even if they are sometimes intelligent with their opinions, the way they state them in long, "i'm a lawyer at trial"-type posts makes me want to punch them in the face.� They act like whiney babies with god complexes and then freak out if someone so much as breathes criticism in their direction.

I did colors past life 3x on Saalutaball and no epic boxes used...the real grind is going to be in arcane life, as she is pure monk and has no use for any of those epic past lives except to get the extra twist...

Saal Smiley

Fortunately, I put points into diplo, and always run with GH, so never get a failure on queen when I am in shiradi Smiley
