i got my new skill today, Telekinesis.

i was happy and went test it, comparing with an other skill

Spirit blast : base mag attack + 100% weapon damage + 2938.5 ---> 68k on a mob

Telekinesis : base mag attack + 130% weapon damage + 6475 ---> 28k on the same mob

so my question is how? how can it be cut by like 60%? when the damage is suposed to be higher?

i heard some new BM skill damage sux too, not doing as much as it shuld.

are we doing those stupid dailies for nothing?
i thought skills was the main pro of the expansion, guess it fails again

    There is a thread about this in Psychic forum, another mention of it on the congregate new skills post. Please look for answers before you start a new thread.

    In summary, the OP is asking this:

    "Do ALL of the new skills Suck Donkey Balls?"

    100 Demon BM*/Barb
    96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
    95 Demon Wiz/
    94 Sage Veno
    85 Psy/80 Mystic
    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    Because the skill is a curse not a damage dealing skill, he damage isn't affected by attack levels, wraith levels, level differences and critical hits. So that 130+ attack level you have in black voodoo full rank 9 jones blessing is probably what is pushing spirit blast ahead in terms of damage done.

    Telekinesis however gets trough resistances such as absolute domain, iron-guard, damage reducing skills such as wings of grace and wind shell, defense levels and magic defense charms. b:surrender

    There have been known... differences in the skills as to what people read / assumed they were which is what the thread dedicated to it aswell as Asterelle's original expansion thread are made for, would take 2 mins of searching to find your answer!

    I think that is what drugs are for.

    At least, that is what South Park has taught me.

    The DMG for the spinning BM skill is useless, not worth using.
    What kind of fool pays for a free game.
