In the early levels you can go black alert (which is like a red alert *10) and own them with 2 potions while being naked.

Pretty much.  Its good fun!  Only thing that's problematic to me is my click finger, which is also my nose pick finger is worn out a lot faster then even using a repeater, whew.

Can you people please put less graphic intensive gifs in your sigs.  Or less of them?  It's slowing down my work computers.

I've done 24-28 EE solo with tornado pots. Because I didn't want to spend the time on playing, so I stoned in various ways to get from 1-24 without having to play. Then the EE runs were just for Saga stones. I did occasionally bring along others to make things faster, because with each pot doing ~1200 dmg, it took waaay too many pots and too much time to take out red names, especially when they run after you, and you have to keep moving, reducing the dmg from each pot.

Also, big downside of having to constantly make more pots, or spend a bunch of time crunching them in advance. 4 tabs full of 50 pot stacks is 4000 pots, and you'd be surprised how long it takes to crunch, and how many it can take to run a quest. Even zerging and grouping mobs, I could still easily use 350-500 pots for some EEs. Though this did go down a bit once I was doing it on my caster and could use Hellball and Ruin.


I actually came up with an idea for a build using just Tornado bottles. I call it The CheeseNado! I decided against writing up a full thing in the builds forum, but basically, for a maximum CheeseNado build:

Take Quick Draw feat for faster throwing.
Max Con and whatever stat for saves.
At least 2 levels of Ranger for Rapid Shot and Sprint boost.
Can go 6 fighter for massive HP with Stalwart, and 3 extra Sprint Boosts. If you want to skip the Ranger levels, fighter gets rapid shot as bonus feat choice.
At least 2 Pally levels are helpful for saves so that you don't get stuck from red names and such. If you go Bladeforged, you can take 2nd Pally level, and you'll also have great self heals.
Anything that gives Air-step (5 sorc, 12 monk, 17 FvS, in Exalted Angel ED) is great.
Best healing pots from cards for [supplemental] healing.
Best rez cakes from cards so you don't give a **** about dying.
Pots from cards if you need them.

Then go forth and conquer.  Grin

Hey, I think I can give a couple of teasers, though.
The next Anniversary rewards has a tornado in a bottle as one of the rewards you can get. I made that for fun on my last week. It's a throwing weapon that makes a tornado, as the name implies. No saving throw, 6 second AoE knockdown. Damage is something like 18d4 per character level. (Yes, its a throwing weapon that scales with the level of the character using it)
I don't know how many will be given out per player. Hopefully it's enough that people can have some fun with them.
There's some other bottled spells I made with it, like an AoE bottled Flesh to Stone. DC 30+character level.



I say people have more than enough

It was better when they affected bosses delivering monologues.   Undecided
Made those long monologues much more enjoyable watching their health bars come down to more reasonable levels.   Grin

By far one of my favorites, F2S everything chasing you, drop a nado, walk away.

You do realize you can stone those trash mobs chasing you.. right? FoS gave us toys, keyword TOYS as in, plural. Hell, even the fireball ina bottle are fun. and faster to make than nados. 100/crunch vs 15/crunch. They only do ~50% of nados total dmg, but still they are fun on stoned mobs.

They didn't nerf them as much as fix them, they no longer hit passive npcs but they continue to offer OP cc. They're still super effective for red alert zerging.
