Video: Why Red Wood Wands Got Nerfed (#1 DPS Character Serverwide)

[Castle2.0]

~25,000 dmg within the span of a few minutes

Just one reason. For raid targets, you'll need to talk to certain guilds that did that.

P.S. Red Wood Wands needed to be nerfed - I woulda nerfed them differently, but it's good for the server they won't be used to trivialize raid targets

They coulda just gone with a casting time to make it useful, but not super bananas for high end content....

They did what I call a "Zero Value" nerf. The item now has Zero (or near-zero) Value. It's equivalent to as retroactively removing all instances of the item from the game and it no longer dropping. The only difference is the optics - you get to keep your useless wands and take up invo space with them.

Disable use on raid targets, and give it a 1-2 second cast time. Another interesting option is making it lore. In either case, it wouldn't be a total loss for someone with wands. But as it stands - total loss.

At least I got video proof of being #1 DPS character serverwide... it was worth it =D

Lol, I was talking about that guy a few weeks ago but couldn't remember the name. Hes the one that had 5 or 6 Wiz all hooked up to 1 keyboard and mouse right? So basically 5 nukes at the same time each cast...

Sam doesn't play on servers that don't allow 12-boxing.

I think I just worked out why the red server always has a dozen people online!!

A wizard casting this on 25 mobs does 21,350dmg in 6.3seconds and over 100k dmg in 1minute.

how much were they recharging for?

[Castle2.0]

Cost ~5pp per wand to recharge.

The above kite would have cost ~100pp, not including plat made from loot.
