Earthquake

[blast3r]

I got isboxer to successfully drop earthquake on all toons but afterwards mouse broadcasting is stuck 'on'. I have to enable then disable broadcasting before things go back to normal. Any ideas how I can fix that?

btw, really starting to love isboxer!

Finally figured out what was wrong. The user was broken. Reinstalled innerspace/isboxer and copied pre-configured isboxer keymaps, etc then edited those instead of editing the ones included (let me learn from mistakes, etc). Got earthquake to work and the repeater automagically goes off now! w00t. heart isboxer

One note, is that other than the knockdown, Earthquake is designed to be a PvE AoE spell for specific encounters. Their "philosophy" if you will is for 3 types of PvE fights. The single target boss fight, where no multi target or aoe spells are used, then there's the 3-5 mob trash packs, where we used to just use AOE, but now they want us to burn one at a time, and use CC. Then there's the massive packs of tiny mobs, and this is what earthquake was meant for. Think of the trash in ICC, those large packs of skeletons. I was solo boxing a shammy in icc25, and on a few trash packs, I was hitting 17k DPS, and topping the charts.

Bottom line is don't expect it do do massive damage against a handful of targets, it's meant for doing damage to dozens of targets.

Like guarding Galv in Horde AV? :-)

Also, just a side note. Earthquake deals physical damage, not nature so it goes through deterrence, cloak of shadows, evasion, anti magic shell, anti magic zone, nether protection, and spell reflection.

You just made my day

I don't even bother with earthquake I guess I'll test it out some tomorrow. I just melt noobs and move on.

I just use it to piss off melee mostly. Though, I did an EOTS yesterday with Smokebum and we ended with 9 earthquakes and 1 hurricane on Fel Reaver's graveyard - it was more insult to injury.

34.3% chance per second with 4 shaman to knock someone down. not sure how long the knockdown lasts or if it has a cooldown, but its also a 4k per second aoe.

All in all, doesnt seem good for single target when you can insta-gib instead, but if youre standing back and can free cast it on a lot of enemies while they spar with your team-mates, you should be able to turn the tides pretty well

Excellent use of statistics, BrothelMeister. Few people can appreciate Binomial Probabilities!

For melee that run circles around you, 4-5 earthquakes on them will destroy them rather quickly - especially those pesky rogues that cloak the instant you target them.

Thats why we have consecutive Thunderstorms to put them in position for a few well placed nukes
