So with this in mind, I wonder what would be a good replacement. I've been looking at Arcane Presence or going back to Eye of the Storm.
Anyone else have any feedback?

That's what I'm starting to think with Arcane Presence. Makes more since then Evocation. Not everything is a area spell
I thought your answer to everything was "learn to play"?

It's not about "learning to play". It's about not getting random BS nerfs for no reason.
this /10 char
But there is a reason, there were always a reason. The PVP whiners club that pay cryptic more money than the PVE club. From the beggining of this game PVP whiners club always changed the game and broke balance every few months. So ye, maybe uninstalling it will be the eventual outcome of these unreasonable changes/nerfs for the majority of the PVE population. A friggin RPG game from WOTC with the Dungeons & Dragons lore became a PVP mini game for kids. Congrats, nothing left to say.
+9001 to teribad choking to death on dinner tonight. Get back under the bridge TROLL.
Yes. This is exactly the pvpers doing.
omg as bad as SW? This sounds so sad!
lol
This was deserved IMO. Storm spell was absurd, I would be fine with replacing the DPS elsewhere though, but it was too much for a single feat.
I'm kinda surprised the Storm Spell nerf came alone and nothing came to replace it.
I guess now you know how us warlocks have felt for a while, its not fair for neither of us really
It is my my life style, my doctrine and my state of mind,
You fight well, but without focus and discipline, you will fall.

Don't bother with PvErs. Their concept of "balance" doesn't include anything that actually balances themselves. Be it a bug or a craptastical phailure of a damage output design, they don't care if anything gives them goodies.
Even if the devs accidentally gave them a one-button auto-win function, and then would retract its implementation at a latter date admitting it was a mistake, the PvErs would still complain that it was a legit mechanic they were making good use of, and the only reason it is being removed is because of PvPers.
You can use one power and have subsequent mega-damage auto proc 3~4 times in a row to kill something in under seconds, and yet, this is supposedly fine. It's not "unbalanced" at all. I mean hey, the NPC/mobs never vocally complain about anything, right? So that must mean anything that exists in the current form which gives us better performance is OK, right? :rolleyes: LOL
No, it's just a problem with ignorance of how the absurd damage of storm spell came about back in the beta for mod4. It was the compensation for the huge nerf to shard and some of the other direct damage spells (which actually like had to be aimed..). So, CW's became proc effect engines. At the time Crush was warned it was absurd.
SW has other issues, mainly the huge nerf to LS, and the fact that so many of the skills are absolute HAMSTER.
Yeah I'm aware of that, most CWs will likely migrate to MoF now

Considered it, just despise the play style. Though if I wanted to abuse the new LS mechanics, Thaum MoF is the right answer. My quick ACT parse of the Storm Spell changes for me looks like a 20% overall reduction in overall DPS (no Lostmouth, non-bis, r8's & a legendary mainhand, otherwise mainly just epic). In, my normal Renegade build Storm Spell was 30-45% of my DPS, and this looks like an effective 40% reduction in Storm Spell (ie I'm now seeing Storm Spell as 15-25% of my build's damage).
Side effects will be interesting.
im calling the hyperbole police on you cause thats all your doing dude. so your gonna defend tr's to your grave and then bash cw's? give me a break dude.
And yet, GWF were doing better damage and SW had comparable damage. Now, we are just gonna be the lowest single target class with HAMSTER aoe damage.
Idk. How felt a Warlock? I never rolled a character just for the paingiver in the first place...
I have't play MoF in a long time, and never in PvP.
The question is, can Smolder be deflected? If it can be deflected, this can become very dangerous against high deflect classes with Fey Thistle...
THis is what I've been running actually since the start of Mod6.
It seems like it's more versatile. It doesn't leave you in this gap of not having moves or damage.
I don't see much better control as a control wizard than I do on my HR or TR. Most classes have some form of control. Yeah, I can knock a group off an edge or group them up, but that's no excuse for a nerf this size.
I rolled a CW for dps. Every rpg I've played, mages/wizards were always high dps. I usually played priests/clerics and tanks, but wanted to change it up. Our single target dps has never been fantastic, but storm spell really helped in a lot of non aoe dungeons. Aoe dungeons, HR and CW always topped the charts which seems fair. TR and warlocks tend to, at least in my experience, do fantastic single target dps. GWF just need a serious buff (on xbox), I'm still learning the differences between the mods.
Nerfing storm spell is nerfing our main source of dps. A nerf of a proc is fine with me, but our other spells should have been brought up to a point.
I'll see how it affects xbox when it rolls around. I spend more time learning about classes than most, so I'll be able to compensate to some extent there.
Xerxes - GWF
Eazy - DC
Tyrian - TR
