Posted February 27, 2014 The 30 second timer means it never gets used. Maybe once or twice in the last half decade in a pvp situation. I think it should be nudged down to 15 and see how it goes. As it is it is a useless spell except to get a decent hit on a dragon once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2014 cause knocking people to dying in 15s is balanced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 27, 2014 Used to be 50 seconds and people were killed via smite. 30 secs is fine, IMO. I've seen multiple people not only hit with it, but killed with it, even back when it was at 50 seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2014 -1 A bad shieldbash can stun you for 9 seconds, this would make it far too easy IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2014 Half the timer for half the damage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2014 Id go half timer for half damage. But theres many many many many other spells/ priests in general that need rebalance and rework before smite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Anyone have a log(s) besides anecdotal evidence that smite is ever used besides a dragon?I haven't seen one pvp encounter where it has in 5 years. Half the timer for half the damage sounds good. Edited February 27, 2014 by Suntzu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2014 No -1 It's fine as it is.If you want to start changing spells like that, balance everything instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2014 -1, why are you using it anyways, not everything has to be nerfed because it wasn't purposely meant FULLY for pvp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 28, 2014 Anyone have a log(s) besides anecdotal evidence that smite is ever used besides a dragon? I haven't seen one pvp encounter where it has in 5 years. [11:05:46] You cast 'Smite' on Zarnibuddha. [11:05:46] You smite Zarnibuddha. [11:06:23] Zarnibuddha is dead. R.I.P. [11:06:32] You realize that you have developed an affinity for artifacts. Other ones that involved kills or near kills: Steffe smited me once on Pedro and almost croaked me. PTO on Kix vs. Doc. Spider vs. Kingen. And quite a few more.

Half the timer for half the damage sounds good. Rudie used it on Adamz. And someone smited Legionaire in that fountain trap xallo was dumb enough to fall for.
