Hi Samhayne. Can you clarify for us as to whether or not the "Shadowflare" spell will cause the typical stun that results from charged attacks? Also, does only the Shadowflare ball project outward or is it in unison with the typical staff "flash" attack? Thanks for reading.

EDIT: Added 2nd question.

Shadowflare replaces the typical staff charged attack. It does not stun like the regular Fireball does.

But..but typical charged attack stuns for both staves and guns.

Stuff like this should never have an expiry date

gonna open 400+ lock after expansion..hoping fo this

[Meljann]

Dam that little guy looks op @.@!!!

Looks completely and utterly awesome. And not to question its OPness, but I am wondering how useful the 10+ regen is going to be. With the 60 int I don't think mana would even run out. *goes back to dreaming of owning one*

[Carbonnel]

Cool!

• Normal attacks have a chance to proc +60 int, +10 mana regen for 8 seconds, and chance on hit to apply a pushback to enemies

PLEASE rethink this, random pushback is one of the WORST things for sorcerers. We rely on crowd control, scattering things is the opposite. Take it out, or replace, either way... knockback is bad for crowd control.

Do these effects apply to charged attacks as well (as in, chance to get +60 INT)? Looking at the warrior one, it just says on hit (which would imply normal and charged attacks), so I'm wondering if the charged attacks of this (since it has it's own effect) also has that chance.

The devs keep surprising me for the better lately, that 100% proc sounds simply awesome

Thanks for the reply, Swede. My apologies, perhaps I could have worded my question better. You mentioned "It does not stun like the regular fireball does". What I'm referring to is the 1 second stun effect that normal, charged attacks from a weapon emit - not fireball's. Since Shadowflare is the charged attack from the staff, does it stun like any other weapon would?

looks awesome like the smurf look xD

No. No stun at all.

The working description of Arcane staff reflects that it would work more like support function for team with the Arcane sorcerer

Charged Attack will 100% of the time cast a new Shadowflare spell. This is a shadow fireball with a chance to reduce enemy crit chance, and/or snare movement by 30%. It is an AoE spell with the area being equivalent to a charged fireball. This costs 0 mana, but does a little bit less damage than charged fireball. Charging takes 1.8 seconds.

Can you change push back to snare (normal attack) and to root (on charged attack)? It makes more sense..
Will shadowflare be also a new sorc skill?

mana regen is not very usefull now.. please add a bonus to HP or STR instead..

I like pushback effect but i agree that mana regen is useless. Bytheway it's a very powerful staff

AGREE!!! We need HP, HP, HP.. and HP.. (maybe HP will be good also)


Geez... As i said.. A stick wid ball in it. Simple but it make ppl enjoy it XD Great Job STS.. A simple statistic says You had to do somethin great in time XD Yes. Aplause from me Nice look. And procs. :3 Now Tell me the name XD

NOTE TO JELAOUS ROGUES () : This is arcane weap so we can be "Super duper" too with it.

Now that would be cool... dual hand staffs and guns. Maybe an idea for the future STS/G

Duel guns would be.. AWESOMMMM XD

Rogues have dual knives... why Sorcerers don't need to have dual guns?
