This is a situation spell at best. I have it and have had it for several weeks. It is just like Cry of Thunder as far as the proc (no it doesn't work on your bow) with the exception of the interupt stun component.

Positives:
Even when stun is resisted its a good agro builder. For those of us that do tank on regular basis, its helpful when monks are wielding SoT's. If you are relying for this spell to actually interupt a spell WHEN you need it interupted.. LOL... sorry back to the post....

Negative:
Resisted MUCH more often than Cry of Thunder. In Gates zones (KT,Qvic,Uqua,Inktuta,Tvexu) the stun component hits nothing, and the resist gets you agro from mobs you would rather NOT get agro from.

ALL in all its ok to have for those who like to fill there spell books and stuff.. and break it out when tanking in elemental exp groups, ldons and such but as far as meleeing in raids.. stick with CoT .. procs more often, rarely resisted, and rarely an agro getting spell

NOT unresistable

Fighting mobs in Sol Ro Tower. Mobs are always resisting this proc, so it seems it must be fire based.

If you look at the effect of the proc here it mentions a resist fire of 100.

Personally i've never figured out whether that means it is always resisted with a mob of 100 sv resist...or if it is 50:50 on such a mob...or whatever.

But yes, this is a fire based proc


Edit:
well wouldn't you know, i just found out! A resist score (-100) means that the chance of it hitting the mob is the equivilent of the mob having 100 taken from it's SV fire. Compared with Sylvian Burn which has a resist score (0), we would expect this proc to land successfully more of the time.

Got this spell from Vxed named Chavoor the Trickster.

First thing is....its NOT a bow proc. Its a weapon proc along the lines of the rest of them.

I havent had it resisted once yet and I didnt see an immune to stun message on any mob in HoH including the level 65 ones. Going to head to fire tomorrow and I'll see how it does there.
Stun

What level mobs can it stun?

Call of Fire will only stun up to level 55 mobs. Past that level, the stun part is resisted and it's basically just a damage proc, maybe (donno) with a little more aggro.

#REDACTED, Posted: Feb 15 2004 at 5:48 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) While I have yet to get this spell, looking at the live data on lucy, the dmg is 150. Range to target is 100, though the range to target on Cry of Thunder is 10. This would lead me to a few different ideas, in order...

In my experience, bow procs definately are affected by range. I shoot an obsidianwood bow with mithril champion arrows. This gives me an effective range of almost 400yds. When i am far enough away from a mob, my arrow hits, but i get the "you are too far away to hit" message on procs. My bow procs the usual Flame Shock, and it also has an augment to proc Permafrost.

#REDACTED, Posted: Feb 20 2004 at 7:18 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) bow procs arent related to spell range.
RE: Apparently Incorrect

If you'd read closely, that's what I was saying. Still, the "range" in the spdat for the two effects seems to be the biggest difference. Don't ask me why, I'm just making the best assertions I can based upon the information given.

Since I have yet to hear from anyone who actually HAS this spell, the best I can do is guess.
bow proc?
# Feb 08 2004 at 3:16 PM Rating: Default
Where does it show this is a bow proc spell? I've compared it to the data from other proc spells and see no difference. Please point it out.

Nice bow proc !
# Jan 21 2004 at 11:53 AM Rating: Default
This looks like a sweet bow proc. 100 range, and -100 fire resist check with a stun if I am correct in reading the data.

It will be interesting to see how well it works and may well drive the use of the Featherwoods up.

What's the use of this spell? Are you kidding me?

First of all, it goes on your bow. Most 65 rangers use bow exclusively, and ANY proc would be nice to have. Second, it STUNS, meaning you can interrupt spells with your bow. That is very sweet. Third, it only costs 100 mana to cast, as opposed to the melee weapon proc buff which is 400 mana.

Now, consider the Obsidianwood Compound Bow. It comes with a proc of 110. It also has a type 4 augment slot, meaning you could add another proc for 100-150. Then, you add this proc. That's THREE dd procs in addition to the insane AM3 damage you are already doing.

Almost makes me consider trading in my Stonewood.... nahhh
#REDACTED, Posted: Feb 08 2004 at 3:55 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Please explain how ANY proc would be nice to have. Because this proc stuns and interrupts spells I could understand it (though I am still waiting on an explanation on where it shows you it is for bows). However you mention the Obsidianwood Compound Bow and its 110dd and another proc you could add augment wise in the 100-150dd range.

Not to sure that this proc would break root, I added the 100pt dd Icicle Claw proc from EF LDoN to my Stonewood and it does not break root. Anyhow any thing that is given as extra spell I see as an asset. Even if its only in certain situations.

just my 2cp
RE: stupid stupid stupid
# Feb 15 2004 at 5:53 AM Rating: Default
The proc on my obsidianwood definately breaks root a fair bit, FYI =)

If the bow procs, you are doing LESS damage? What are you talking about? Are you under the impression that a proc cancels out the arrow damage?

I'll explain it like this. You're hitting for 300-500 damage per hit. That's good damage. Then, depending on which bow and augments you have, you can be doing 1-3 nukes in addition to your bow damage.

I really have no idea what you are talking about when you say that a proc makes you do less damage. That makes no sense. The only downside, as you pointed out, is the possibility of breaking root. Two points on that:

1. Root sucks. If you are using your bow with AM3 then you know this. Root = half of your damage. When I'm in a group, the main purpose of my spell nuke is simply to break a root because it cuts my damage in half. Get a good tank and root is useless.

2. Root and shoot is weak. I don't know why you'd want to do it, as it's very slow killing and you'd make far better exp in a group. If you really must root & shoot, then get some ornate greaves and have mana free root. Or just don't use a proc. But for everyone else, the proc is great.

To sum up: more damage = more damage. Not sure how much simpler it can be.

There's no way your doing less dmg. Your just adding it to you bow.

Well if your doing 300-500 dmg per shot, with a proc that hits for say 150dmg, then your bow procs there goes a couple seconds between shots while you wait for your tune to be able to fire again thus slowing your rate of fire and causing less dmg. Although in the long run not sure how much differnce it will make unless you proc constantly i do see the point.

it doesnt actually slow you down, all it does is change the graphic which your character is doing toa spell casting look, but if you keep clickign you notice the arrows still going out of your character even though your not phsyically stringing & shooting your bow graphically.
