Finger of Death (Missing Damage)

[Synn Blackdagger]

Hi there,

FoD's damage seems to have bugged out.
It was working fine until about 2-3 days or so ago.

The expected scenario should look something like below, given that Wail works the same way.
Cast FoD or Wail...
Creature/Player Save = Damage
Creature/Player Fail = Death or Immune

Somehow, FoD has been affected and its become like this:
Cast FoD....
Creature/Player Save = Damage (if no death immune), NO DAMAGE (if death immune)??
Creature/Player Fail = Death or immune

Could we look into the missing damage on save?
And no, it wasn't from negative energy protection/immunity and the like. Tested.

That's how it's supposed to work, death immunity protects from the damage as well as the instakill effect.

I don't think we need to revert everything back to nwn base.
That's not even going to be realistic now is it? Given the current content.

I like how the current Wail works. FoD should have a similar effect I think.
There needs to be a 7, 8, 9 DPS spell and without FoD, what did you want casters to do? Prismatic spray?

With DI Sonic 50% incorporated on a bunch of mobs, Wail damage is already down.
Above that, a big chunk of mobs have neg. energy immunity. (The ones that actually matter) There is but a sliver of situations where FoD can be useful.
Take even that away, what are the Sorc's gonna do?

Stand around and scroll heal...While listening the the beat down crowd brag about their shatter, their crushing, their massive devastating criticals of whatever the nine hells it is. Doesn't really sound fun now is it?

WotB damage still works even if the target has death immunity.

There are only a few mobs that have level 6 spell immunity and they're tough for everyone to fight, not just mages. Delayed Blast Fireball, Sunburst, Wail Of The Banshee, and Meteor Swarm will work, although some have Evasion so only WotB will help against them.
