Spell Failure (fizzle)

[tejón]

Does this happen at all? It was quite noticeable during beta, then we received a patch note saying the failure rate for beginning spells had "been reduced," which apparently meant reduced to zero. Does anyone see fizzles up in the elemental schools?

throw some heavy armor.. you'll see all the fizzle you want.... but for LM spells it isnt as bad as it was in beta... probably because they are just utility spells. People have told me that casting elemental spells in heavy armor doesnt work so well.

Ah! OK, so that's THREE ways armor fucks a caster... slower, weaker, sometimes not at all. I'd been avoiding the first two, so I hadn't seen the third. :rolleyes:

haven't experienced or heard of anyone experiencing fizzles since release, though can't confirm this about elemental magic in heavy armour

Just elemental or are we talking arcane/dark magic as well?
