|---|---|---|---|---|
A long time ago when I started playing VU, I remember bless being a really valuable spell when defending, as it would greatly increase the defense of a city being attacked. But I took a hiatus from VU for a time, and now that I've started playing again, it seems like no one uses or even gives thought to bless. I know we at least used it when I last played, and that it had a pretty potent effect. Has that changed? All I can really find on the spell is the general "increases defense" answer, but no real evidence of a nerf. So I was wondering if anyone could clear this up for me, because I'm curious as to why bless isn't used like it once was. | ||||
Nope, not really :) | ||||
Bless has been nerfed. | ||||
yup the magic sucks and is only now there to supplement attacking. Eyes, happiness, freeze (slow), rof. I'd say those were the only useable spells in the game. The rest are probably only castable once and by a v limited number of people. Magic losses way too high for it to be useable. | ||||
=/ it seems like alot of the available spells are a little underwhelming... I mean sure there are good ones like EITS, freeze, crush walls, ROF, STG but there are alot of spells I don't think I would ever use, like Happiness, cure plague, bless, locust, Anger, etc. And then there are the crazy spells that are practically impossible to get if you're not a mage, and expensive if you are one, with alot of those being situational at best. Just seems like magic is really limited in its uses beyond the magic protection it gives you. | ||||
Well....yes and no. I do use happiness and locust (okay, fairly rarely on this one)...but while some of the magic is pretty useless (see: bless, etc), the ones that ARE useful can be really powerful :P True enough as Ez said, they cannot run alone, but a mage teaming up for defense or moving forward on the attack with others can do a loooooot of stuff to make life easier :) | ||||
true, its just kinda sad to have so many tools available and only use a few of them. | ||||
i used bless once :) | ||||
umm i cast plauge... alot now that i know people hate it. im working my way towards fantasia so i can cast it there mwhahah | ||||
Dude, happiness is so useful... Although magic is rather limited in spells, it is EXTREMELY powerful, especially with no more elven merges runnin' around. | ||||

i do have to say that all spells are usefull. bless IS usefull but hard to cast thus making it a less than par spell. however if it is casted then it is usefull. just the question is, is it worth it? | ||||
Hard to cast? Bless?? You're joking, I hope... | ||||
idk, im just posting off a previous statment i hoped was right. maybe not hard then, costly? lol. i thought he might mean you lose alot thus = high cost. oh well
Nope, not really :) | ||||
| ||||
That isn't much magic power though. If you were going for a powerful bless, the losses would increase as well. | ||||
Yup, the % blessed is a result of your magic power (much like how freeze works), so small power with small losses would be next to useless in the % bonus it gives. | ||||
