I do notice that it does alot damage tho...But if it loads a bit faster, it would be a really nice skill for clerics...

    Once you have more chan gear, it's not too bad. It's a good opening skill imo.

    Wield thunder is the most powerful non chi attack that we clerics have. As stated it is primarily used as an opening attack due to its slow charge up. The wield thunder/Razor feathers combination is often used in the same way as the great cyclone/plume shot combination, as an opener, so its good for causing a lot of damage to mobs at range and as your opening attack. Basically, this is your non-chi nuke attack to open with. From there, switch back to your plume shot/great cyclone combination, and you'll be okay.

    A lot of higher level gear has -chan add-ons (-3% or -6%) The more chan gear you have, the faster your skills go off (unless the skill already has low channeling and a higher cast time.) So, towards the mid-late 90s when you'll probably have more gear with -chan on it, the time isn't too bad.

    They're made in a variety of ways. Some of them can be crafted in archo forges. Some you can get randomly from a mob drop. Either way, theyre more expensive than normal gear.

    Chromatic seal----> Elemental seal
    > purify---->spark--->weild thunder

    Goodish opening for pvp in some cases, and since cromatic seal keeps things asleep for a long *** amount of time (at max/sage lvl anyway) it doesnt matter how long it takes to chan its a free hit

    But as stated above me at higher lvls you can get gear with -chan on it. Once you hit lvl 77 look for Sleeve of the sea captain , they add -6% chan and you can use them for many many lvls, im still wearing them untill like, nirvana lol
    Yeah my sig doesn't match my name...i would say im being all clever and trying to confuse people...but im really just too lazy to make a new one

    Isn't Chromatic Seal broken as soon as you cast a debuff on them? Or was I just having all the shortest sleep time span every time I cast it? If so, the enemy might reach you before you finish the Element Seal-->Purify-->Wield Thunder sequence?

    I think seals dont break the sleep since they dont *dmg* the foe.

    Seals dont break but on lower levels its normal they last only 0-3 seconds because they totally random UP to max time. means if you have bad luck you get a 0.1 second sleep
