I reread that and yeah, I agree that attack size needs a nerf (the stat).

385

If anyone thinks Explosion needs a nerf remember Earth has the same size and deals 0.075x more damage. :shushing_face:

and…
can be used underwater i think

387

Earth is also slower (~0.3 with the changes planned in the doc, so it’s ~33% slower)
I forgot that explosion’s charred can become petrify with several heat magics. (fire, plasma, and ash… tell me if I missed one)

yeah but that means right now it isnt 33% slower

389

Yeah it’s slightly faster so it’s a closer to around… 39%

Speed is only a problem for people who don’t know how to predict :smoking:

391

Explosion

392

Speed is only a problem with massive AOEs

393

rip, idk if earth needs that big of a nerf either, all i know is that explosion doesn’t need a nerf :fr:

394

I think earth is fine where it is, it’s slower but it has some good synergies like explosion. No stuns but the bleed synergy works well for conjurors and mages with glass or wood.

395

nah earth is basically the best magic rn
it has highest damage AND size in the game

396

I mean this would give earth some more individuality compared to explosion magic
As it stands, I feel like earth really sucks as a magic, being outdone by explosion in speed while being outdone in raw power by metal.

397

earth and metal have same impact damage, speed barely matters when u can hit them from across the map

398

It could get it’s damage affinity reduced to 0.975x, a bit lower than metal but higher than wood. You’d have more difficulty trying to ask for a size nerf I feel though.

399

Did you just tell me that earth is a better metal magic

400

Uh, no. Even if we’re talking solely about impact damage and exclude status entirely, Earth is still beaten by Metal (1.1x). If statuses are included, Earth hardly makes the top ten. No status, and no hazards, with no CC or other notable interactions. It’s absolutely very strong right now due to this size meta alone but there are far better options available. Magma is far better for the top-tier AoE spam builds, and Metal is far better for raw damage.

Can’t confirm the metal part of the wiki (is it actually 5% HP for bleed?)

402

I wanna remake the warlock I progressed with metal with earth only it’s so late now

403

Unoptimized magma mage and I don’t even need to aim to wipe someone’s HP with 200-300 damage numbers (wearing Elius armor :skull: ).
I also have pulsar
