Major Emendation (Spell)

This spell itself maybe to short to be of any great use but this line of spells really is important in RVR espesialy when you get the higher lvl spells with a longer duration.

I have a enchanter and i use this spell to hold an enemy in place so my pet can catch it up and while I blast it with DD's. Without it we would just be hit and run targets.

The hibernian mages are the only classes that have a stun in there base line of spells.

That must be 3 seconds in game time.... never lasted more than 1 second for me :(

Prismatic Flare is basically useless. The best use for it is to quick cast it if you're going to loose the battle in a 1 vs 1 solo.

It will give you an extra 2 seconds of lead time that may or may not be enough to get to safety.

It would be usefull in an offensive chain for a low level Eldritch if the duration really did last 3 seconds. But the actual duration that I have seen is about 2.25 seconds.

The conjecture being that if I could chain a stun that had a duration greater than the casting time then it would result in adding more time that I am blasting the target.

Math: Effect Duration (3) minus Cast Time (2.5) would net one half a second (0.5).

If that were the case, a low level may perhaps chain like this:
Void Bolt (Spec) -> Quick Cast Next -> Void Bolt (Basic) -> Prismatic Flare -> Void Direct Dam -> Void Direct Dam -> Void Direct Dam

Quick cast the Second Void Bolt because its Casting Time is 4 with Quick Cast it is 2. Realise the fact that the first bolt has not hit the target yet while you are Quick Casting the next one.

I am just saying, in theroy anytime your casting time is less than the duration, you net time away from the target. I am not saying that this offensive chain is actually usefull. I am just saying in theroy that the better flares may be a chain candidate.

In reality all this spell is usefull for is an aid to help retreat.
