So, nerfed healing is WAI?

[DeafeningWhisper]

Nor does it exist.

Oddly enough now it does, but it seems to be bug, then again we tought the same thing when the new heal hit U14.

Silver Fire and Avenging light have joinned Lantern Archon in that they are hitting for roughly 50% of what they did before. We know Archon is WAI, no news on the sla or spell thou...

The fighting, harassment, and personal attacks in this thread need to end immediately.

I always love your healing in-game and hope you won't stop it!

Awwwww, shucks!

What, there was more in your post? That's all I read.

If one primarily used metamagics and clickies to provide item-based boosts to spell damage, one does indeed produce lower numbers. This particular method allowed one to go around 3 minutes between equipment swaps as well as stacking up multiple type boosts simultaneously. This type of build would now have to use a spell boosting item all the time to maintain numbers or swap equipment for every casting. The better of those items tend to be two handed. So rather than being able to both cast and melee at the same time, one must now choose between the two.

I suppose one could create macros for doing swap cast swap, but one would need to pick up quick draw to do so efficiently. I never liked macros in my mmos.

I suppose development could just take away armor, shield and simple weapon proficiency and call it a day.

"Silver Fire" isn't a player spell. It's an NPC ability that, when created, accidentally overwrote the description of an existing spell (Searing Light, I believe).
You're still casting the exact same Searing Light you always have. The description issue is fixed internally, and will go live in a future patch.

I can't speak as to Avenging Light, as I'm not intimately familiar with the Exalted Angel Destiny, or anything that may have changed with it. However, if it is not behaving as described in the ability description, then it may be a bug. I suggest submitting a bug report, and we'll make sure that it gets looked into.

Thanks for shedding some "light" on this issue!

Thanks for the info, will pass it to the correct thread for others who wondered.

It seemed very likely that it was just descriptions that got confused, people already guessed that one. What has me puzzled is why npc abilities get descriptions at all. Such a thing would only make sense if we got to control them somehow, like we do with hirelings now. Afaik, silver fire should be connected to mystra somehow, are we looking at a hireling version of elminster or anna perhaps?
