I wonder what mythic was thinking when they decided to make all of our spells DD. I would think it would be more appropriate to give a nightshade an invisiblity spell or a personal illusion or something like that. Anything would seem more appropriate than DD spells.
This spell is not worthless. I use it a lot to speed up my leveling. Granted I use my level 42 druid to follow me around and buff/heal, I can easily kill yellows without healing during a fight. When fighting agro camps, it's hell of a lot easier to pull them to me than stealth in and kill those on the fringe. I don't really care what the damage is, it just does about 1 swing of damage.
Nightshades really arent meant to use spell IMHO. What helps are the poison you use on ur weapon. The higher ur envenom skill the better poison you can use. Spellcasting is more along the lines as a last resort.
I guess you could say we have two spell lines. The Strike Line, which must be used at a distance, and the Night line, which can be used at close range.
IMHO, I guess you could say we have two spells, which get upgraded. The Strike series attacks, and the Night series attacks. But hey, two is better than one.
Uhm... not true. Lesser Twilight Strike at level 5, and Dart of Night at level 6, for example, have different effects and different symbols. You can be interrupted casting The twilight strikes, but not casting dart of night, which does instand damage, which at lower levels, can help to finish off the enemy before you calk it yourself. ^_^
Think you should check the dates on the original post... as it was made in October 2001..!! the direct damage spell had not even been implemented, (nor prolly even thought of) at that time. So at that time there was only one type of spell.
