storm of vengeance, and earthquake

[Dapher]

This could just be how the spells are coded, or it could b a bug I am not sure so here it is. Storm of vengeance works against the ogres in heartsvale, but when I use it in Holyhead, this is what happens.

A drow invader evades Deliwen's crushing attack.
A crystal rod glows briefly and a whisp of smoke rises from it.
Powdered rhubarb leaf glows briefly and a whisp of smoke rises from it.
A perfectly smooth stone glows briefly, then disappears in a puff of smoke!
A drow invader resists the effect of your spell.
You were unable to find any valid targets for your 'storm of vengeance' spell.
Deliwen ducks under a drow invader's slashing attack.
A drow invader sidesteps your piercing attack.
A drow invader evades Deliwen's crushing attack.
You hear the sound of footsteps from the east.

earth reaver gives the same echo against the drow in Holyhead

An earthstone glows briefly and a whisp of smoke rises from it.
A perfectly smooth stone glows briefly and a whisp of smoke rises from it.
a drow invader deftly avoids the shower of stones caused by the explosion.
You were unable to find any valid targets for your 'earth reaver' spell.
A drow invader's slash slashes Deliwen's chest.


There are no valid targets, and then other times it will hit. I am going to venture a guess that the drow are rogues, and that they made thier savings throws, but I do not know for sure.

As for earthquake. It is very selective on who it hits. Sometimes it will hit all the targes in the room, and other times it will only hit one or two. None of it is consistant. So, I have no clue what the deal is with earthquake.

I've had this happen as well with other area spells, but I don't know what is causing it. Either myself or one of the other bug testers will have to look into it further.

Thanks for the post.

Because drow have spell resistance, ogres don't. We have, as I recall, already updated the race files to bring the SR in-game for the races that have it?

Those drow in Holyhead are lvl 50 drow, which means their spell resistance is going to be rather high.

There isn't quite a bug here, just an enhancement on the returned echo if all targets make their save. More on that from Raona here.
