Re: Promising stuff on the newest update!
If Breath of Winter doesn't do damage anymore, what possible uses for it?

Same as before - (mostly) none.

Re: Promising stuff on the newest update!
I'm saddened how there is no love for restricted spells or explorable magic sites.

I thought it only did damage in an area around the caster. What other effects did it have? |

It's currently the single best damage spell a SC can use, so I wouldn't exactly call it useless. |

Biggest source of friendly fire, too.

Considering in the last game I played, Nycafor killed about 250 units with BoW and 100 with his hands, I'd also have to join the "It was far from useless" crowd. With this change, Arch Devils (Fire Shield) might eclipse Ice Devils as the preeminant blood SCs. |

Re: Promising stuff on the newest update!
Maybe the message means it adds to chill effect and not heat effect...

Re: Promising stuff on the newest update!
The usefulness of Breath of Winter is "(mostly) none" because real, big, tough SCs are the only thing it's useful on.
In all other cases, it's only a great way to kill fellow mages or bodyguards. And sadly the spellcasting AI is too fond of the spell ...
Btw, haven't been SCs nerfed in Dom3?
