Solid Fog

[Ridag]

Thank you for allowing Solid Fog -5 Reflex Save to work on raid bosses, it will be a great help to Evocation casters on the more difficult raids.

However the -2 to attack and damage roll, as well as the concealment, should also effect raid bosses. I've never really understood why the concealment effect from some clouds worked on raid bosses and others did not, and I think it is time to level the playing field a bit.

Why it doesn't work properly on bosses?
The devs broke the spell and still haven't fixed it.

Worked perfectly years ago.

ps: You actaully test it?

Did they even remove the save on it?

With a -5 reflex on bosses, thats nice, but if you first have to pass there will save, it still won't be getting a precious lvl4 spell slot from me.

It's guild raid night for me, so I haven't had a chance to update Lam yet. Hope to get to it tonight before the wife waylays me to watch tv....

They just did a spell pass so I'm disappointed if the spell is in fact broken.

Any word on whether Solid Fog not providing concealment against raid bosses is intended?

Tested it out.

Partially fixed:
Save removed.
"trapped in fog" debuff portion (shows a seperate icon) works against red bosses, didnt test purple.

Nothing else works on red bosses. Not slowed, no -2 dmg, no concealment.

It's not WAI.

It was nerfed back when they did the sloppy change to make purple bosses immune to effects that reduce movement speeds... They just did a blanket imunnity, rather then looking at each spell, or fixing the fact that they used to just be plain immune, but it otherwise worked.

Ideally it could just work like it did years ago..

No immuniy, both icosn show up, all works..
But all purple named movement and attack speeds are set to fixed value.
That would unfortunately nerf the few remaining ways to slow bosses down, but would at least be a more uniform fix.

A more comprehensive fix of looking at each ability, and tiering them, so they fucntion on red/purple, but to a lesser degree should SERIOUSLY be considered tho.

Tho I already wrotes/suggested all this years ago and it was ignored.. So dunno why im still trying.
