Anyone notice how signet of creation makes binding rituals and ALL spells cast instantly (or close to that)? It practically puts glyph of sacrifice and glyph of essence to shame. Anet, please don't fix this...this is the only skill that makes spawning power worthwhile. ^^

Bugs are bad. ANet should fix them, or update the description if the current behavior is the indended effect.

anima_illumina · Jun 22, 2009, 11:06 PM // 23:06

Well then, Anet, please make this the intended effect

Kerwyn Nasilan · Jun 22, 2009, 11:57 PM // 23:57

Cough Cough, if you don't want it fixed don't bring it up...

Faure · Jun 23, 2009, 12:00 AM // 00:00

You mean you can instant cast stuff like MS etc? Or just rit skills?

anima_illumina · Jun 23, 2009, 12:50 AM // 00:50

It seems to work with any spell, item spell, enchantment spell, touch enchantment spell, touch spell, hex spell, half-range spells, weapon spell or binding ritual. Doesn't work on skills, nature rituals, glyphs, signets, touch skill, half-range skills, ebon vanguard rituals, stances, chants, and echoes. (Did i miss anything?)

Truth be told, anomalies like this will always be uncovered, so the poster might as well say something about it now and request the effects remain as it is. I think this should have been posted in Sardelic Sanitarium to get people to /sign for not changing the effects and to change the description so it matches the effect. Just a thought.

I'll /sign.

anima_illumina · Jun 23, 2009, 03:31 AM // 03:31

ok, i'll do that

Why would you want to do that o_P. It's just going to make the bug even more known to the GW devs. At 0 spawning it's clearly superior to skills such as Glyph of Sacrifice an Glyph of Essence so I'm pretty sure it's going to get fixed.

Due to its recharge though, I must ask how this can be abused?

edit:
WTB NEW META OF GLYPH OF RENEWAL METEOR SHOWER SPAMMERS!

Zahr Dalsk · Jun 23, 2009, 05:19 AM // 05:19

8 Ritualists.

All use that combo to get out 2 Meteor Showers each.

That's 1456 damage every three seconds, for nine seconds. Minus, of course, whatever enemy armour decreases it by/to. Still, that's a lot of damage :|

shinslw · Jun 23, 2009, 05:24 AM // 05:24

LOL it'll definitely be fixed. Just use it while it last.

Touch Hex Spell :P

Say hello to the new RoJ, guys!
I'm going to go have some fun with meteor shower now, if you please...

anima_illumina · Jun 23, 2009, 08:45 AM // 08:45

I love the irony of this. Elementalists stole our class role in pvp with their overpowered ether prism. (puts OoS to shame anyday T.T ). Now we get to return the favor in pve with this skill xD Take that rit posers!

This is one of the things that truly makes spawning power worth while. They shouldn't leave it bugged, but should update the skill description for it.

street peddler · Jun 26, 2009, 02:00 AM // 02:00

its gonna be fixed, making things blatantly overpowered is not how you make spawning power "worthwhile".

Ferminator · Jun 26, 2009, 02:12 AM // 02:12

Do you guys know how dangerous for pve it would be if Signet of Creation's intended effect was this?

Sure it's hell as fun to have 8 (or 16 even!) meteor showers raining down but that is even more imbalanced than Ursan(previous functionality)+Shadow Form(again, previous functionality/ies) put together.

"Glf DoA/Urgoz/Deep/UW/FoW Rt/E (q8lb) GoR MS spammers"

But of course tho

, 16 meteor showers would wipe anywhere.

Fleetfoot · Jul 01, 2009, 01:06 AM // 01:06

anyone done any testing to see how heroes use this?

Hugh Manatee · Jul 03, 2009, 02:23 AM // 02:23

WHAP! nerf bat'd

Still, functionality is kinda wonky now that everything casts in a second or less....
