New Druid Spells

[Diyon]

This is just going over some of the known new spells that druids will be getting (as opposed to the spells already in DDO that we know are on the druid spell list. Many of these details were caught in mouseovers on some of the PAX videos. I've included notes on availability to other classes based on PnP.

Level 1:

Faerie Fire (curse video shows blue, green, or purple choices)

Purple Faerie Fire
Spell Point Cost: 15

Spell Resistance: Yes
Arcs a flare of faerie fire through the air, bursting outward to affect all enemies near it. Targets are dazzled and take a -1 penalty to attack, spot, and search. Targets that fail a reflex save are illuminated by faerie fire, dispelling stealth, invisibility, blur, and displacement, for 30 seconds, and giving a -40 penalty to hide. Sightless enemies are immune to the dazzle effect.

Magic Stone (Cleric 1)
Spell Point Cost: 60
Target: Foe, Directional, Breakable
Spell Point Cost: 60 (Base: 10)
School: Conjuration
Components: Somatic, Verbal

Level 2:

Body of the Sun (also Sorc/Wiz 2)

Flame Blade (no DDO details yet, seems like it augments a weapon rather than creating one though)



Level 3:

Call Lightning

Quench

Save: 20 (fortitude)
Duration: 1 minute
Spell Point Cost: 60 (Base:10)

A burst of water quenches flames. Lingering fire spells, such 'Wall of Fire', are dispelled. Your allies are cured of any lingering fire damage effects, and receive a +20 enhancement bonus to fire resistance.
Your enemies receive a -20 penalty to cold and electricty resistance. The resistance bonus and penalties increase to 35 at caster level 8, and 50 at caster level 12. They last one minute.

Fiery enemies, such as fire elementals, take 27to 33 cold damage per 4 caster levels, to a maximum of 108 to 132. A successful fortitude save halves the damage, and negates the resistance penalties.

D&D Dice: Deals 2d4 + 25 cold damage per 4 caster levels.



Level 4:




Level 5:

Call Lightning Storm
Duration: 24 seconds plus 3 seconds per caster level
School: Evocation
Creates a stormcloud in a large radius that persists for 24 seconds plus 3 seconds per caster level, and every few seconds randomly strikes nearby enemies with bolts of lightning from the sky for 5d6 electrical damage, or 5d10 electrical damage outdoors. A successful Reflex save reduces the damage by half.

D&D Dice: Deals 1d8+6 bane damage per 2 caster levels to creatures one step away from True Neutral. Deals 1d10+8 bane damage per 2 caster levels to creatures two steps away from True Neutral. ***The max damage rolls don't seem to match up the between the two notations.***

[Aelonwy]

I really, really hope that the spells that are supposed to be cleric too actually make it to the cleric's spell list.

[Tacktik]

TY for this sir, would +1 you if I could. Hope to hear sometime which other classes will share some Druid spells (fingers crossed for Ranger spells to be more viable).

[Havok.cry]

Cracked open my spell compendium to check some of those:

Mantle of the icy soul:
Gain cold subtype, immunity to cold, vulnerability to fire.

If that makes it in, like that, ToD pt 2 will be much easier to do: divines just stand there and tank the shadows.

Body of the sun:

aura of fire damage surounding the caster 1d4/2CL mx cl 5
shiny for lowby casters, especially fire savants.

[butcheredspirit]

Horay!
I'm pleased to see this is finally coming to us.
Although I'm a little disappointed there are no hail stones...
It would have been nice if this also fit into the physical damage category.

I'll just have to make sure the first tier of alchemical crafting boosts electrical.

Thanks for the peak at some new spells.

[TekkenDevil]

Level 1:

Produce Flame
Spell Point Cost: 56
Target: Foe, Directional, Breakable
Spell Point Cost: 56 (Base: 6)
School: Evocation
Components: Somatic, Verbal
Spell Resistance: No
Flames as bright as a torch appear in your open hand and launch towards your foes. They deal 1d2+2 fire damage per caster level, up to 15d2+30 at caster level 15.

56 spell points to cast a level 1 spell that deals 4 damage at best? Where the hell did you get this from, because that cannot be real.

[apep1412]

It costs 6 sp. The other 50 sp is metamagics.

It does 1d2+2 per caster level. The same damage as acid spray/burning hands, but single target, no save, a ray spell, and a higher level cap.

[MrkGrismer]

15d2+30 at caster level 15; so 45-60 @ 15 for 6sp. Not horrible.

[Diyon]

15d2+30 at caster level 15; so 45-60 @ 15 for 6sp. Not horrible.

Indeed. If that spell is spammable, then it won't need metamagics, just mana efficient spam that.

[Siro]

Regenerate (also cleric 7)
Spell Point Cost: 20
Target: Friend, Self, Undead Foe
Save: 25 (Will)
Duration: 30 seconds
Spell Point Cost: 20 (Base: 10)
School: Conjuration
Components: Somatic, Verbal
Spell Resistance: Yes
A positive energy conjuration that heals hitpoints, ability point damage, and level drain, and cures bleed effects. The enchantment lasts 30 seconds. Every 3 seconds the target is healed 6 plus caster level hitpoints and 2 ability point damage. Every 10 seconds the target is cured of bleed effects and 1 drained level.

I really hope this ends up also curing Crippled status...

[MrkGrismer]

Indeed. If that spell is spammable, then it won't need metamagics, just mana efficient spam that.

As an aside, I would think most of that 50sp for metamagic is for heighten, so I would think there would be a DC involved.

True, but with gear and enhancements I imagine it would still be pretty okay at half damage. Also, I'm not so sure there is a save, the video didn't show one, and there isn't one in PnP as it is a ranged touch attack (like scorching ray is in PnP).

[DeafeningWhisper]

Is it wrong that my 1st thought was "Nice, Clerics get some Druid spells but NOT Fvs"?

I guess the "who is a better healer" might be won be Regenerate alone.

If no DC then I would have to wonder about the high SP add from metamagic, but it could be some sort of glitch or it could be a special demo/admin metamagic.

Empower, maximize, quicken. That adds 50 SP. I doubt the druids will get metamagic enhancements and from what I could tell, Fernando was using a pretty undergeared druid. I could also go look for the symbols on his action bars but I think that those three are likely.

[Jaid314]

so... am i somehow the only one who saw quench and was like "wow, that's a crazy powerful spell in many situations"?

+50 (probably stacking) cold resist to a party? -50 to enemy electric and cold resistance? sounds pretty danged nice to me. (even if it turns out to be a persistent AOE, which it looks like might be the case, that's still pretty awesome imo).

Hm, I don't run around with all three of those on so it just seemed high to me.

I still think those things should multiply the base by a certain amount rather than add to it, this example really emphasizes that once again. Going from 6 to 56 for those three doesn't seem worth it.

One minute set duration tho

[Jaid314]

One minute set duration tho

it's still +50 resist cold. so you have to spam it every minute, big deal... paladins have to spam various spells every couple of minutes, and a savant's awaken weakness or an arti's lightning motes last an even shorter amount of time (15 seconds for arti, i think 30 seconds for savant?). that doesn't make those spells or abilities bad, it just means you need to keep an eye on them. just think of the potential for throwing on harry (and the melee group) for those elite shrouds. add some damage to every tick of niac's, allowing cold burst (ie risia weapons) to work on harry on at least normal (and i think hard, though i've heard he's got 70 or 80 or something like that on elite), and -50 damage to the group per fireball (and up to -200 from meteor swarm). that is well worth spending an action once per minute.

same applies for various other raid bosses which have some resistance to either cold or electric, and which deal noticeable fire damage. why would you *not* spam this at every opportunity?
