Question about stacking abilities...

[Raccool]

Of course, all this is hypothetical for now. (And I'm sorry but I have not conversed with Lucy but it IS 2:43 AM)

I was watching the first video (one of the new interviews) on the GameSpy page and Jeff was talking about BWs building too much Combustion and exploding. Well, it got me wondering, would it be plausible, or even possible, to intentionally build up too much combustion and explode (doing PBAoE damage) and active the Death Throes skill (doing even more PBAoE damage)? What might you have to do to make it effective? Should we bother?

Take one for the team i guess. As long as you asplode in the midst of a ton of enemies. But then again you are probably more useful to the realm alive than dead.

EDIT: Who's Lucy, btw?

Combustion is the mirror to sorceress's dark magic. If you overuse your magic, you will have a chance of receiving high damage to yourself, or even insta-kill in some cases. I think it would be a plausible technique to just spam like no tomorrow and, if you got low health, just run into the enemy mobs and explode. It would seem like BW will be a killing machine, if the self-destruct does huge damage. If not, its still a backup plan if ur getting your kicked :]

[Dunhill]

Yeah, in WoW when you found a way to kill yourself while getting attacked by a player, the other player would get no Honor. So it might work for you in this case, like commiting suicide so the other guys get no renown off you. Your way of saying "Screw you destruction!"

[phenomiac]

Not correct? If someone does damage to you, doesn't matter how much, they'll get honor if you die soon enough, via suicide or not.

Sorceress doesn't have Death Throes though.


And Lucy is the nickname given to the local search engine.

Several things wrong with that. First who said it would be one shotting? War isnt going to be a super fast paced game (Unlike WoW where if the enemy had good enough gear and you didnt you could die in seconds). And from what ive seen the explosion is something you choose. Im pretty sure they changed it because on the list of spells and abilities the thing i saw wasnt one of them.

i didn't mean for one shotting but with all ur AOE u could weaken em and go in for the self destruct...if u still get honor :]
