That's a very good find, free4all! I was kind of wondering what Rodgort was, but now I know These devs have a good sense of humor.

that skill kicks butt in so many different ways. I love it to death. Say you have 3-4 charr standing around, some are charr hunters, some are charr axe fends... one cast, they all burst into flame for over 100 damage in a single hit. The axe fends run towards you while the charr hunters shot flare your way, you cast Phoenix... instantly kills the melee axe fends and its explosive shot takes out the two charr hunters.

I use those two skills in combination when helping people through missions, its a very effective combination.

Its also a one hit kill on anything less then lv8 heh.

From there proceed to Ice caves of Sorrow to quest to Iron Mines or take the hard route and travel there. From there either complete that mission, become infused and travel from Thunderhead Keep to the bottom of the map to Marhon's Grotto... Or if your really good, think you can last un-infused against Jade and Mursaat... travel all the way there from Droknar... See ya in a few hours if you make it lol.

Hmm... Instead of the name or where about the skill... I guess I add some comment of how the skill actually work that is not mention in the skill list description


It has a very large effect area as a ranged splash AoE... about the size of suffering/flame burst and the like... it is either searing heat or this... depending on whether u prefer fast cast for slow kill or slow casting for fast kill. It is not a projectile.

(I guess I am bored...?)

Its a fireball that costs 25e and sets a small (i mean small) aoe on fire for a couple of seconds. Not really worth it at all.

heres why this skill is exceedingly awesome: its a non-sight skill. meaning you can cast it through walls.

i revolve around making people run away to heal(and then getting a meteor, kekeke) and the primary target of that tactic is casters and rangers in particular. often in missions casters are the only people that can attack rangers/other casters due to terrain. well, with fire storm and meteor shower going on and then hitting them with rodgort's, thats TOO MUCH damage to ignore, so they will stop and cast whatever as opposed to attacking. thats my purpose. however, after a full-blown attack, i have three energy, and usually theres 2 more waves to go. so i cast ether prodigy. i can keep going and going until i die, ive never had exhaustion hinder my ability. ether prodigy and an attentive monk means infinite energy for me(in general, i reuse it as soon as it runs out so i dont lose a LOT of health from it, but i do lose some). and with infinite energy i dont worry about casting cost, i worry more about recharge times for those 25 energy skills. theyre too slow.

you say people so i guess this is for pvp... And No it still sucks ass. Why would a monk run away to heal? Is it just me or is there no logic in that. You can't Heal while running. Any monk that doesn't heal himself and allows You to finish him off with rodgorts just sucks. I mean its a 5 seconds cast!. Ether prodigy is still just bad. I mean lose all enchants is really bad not to mention the exhaustion... You will not be able to cast a meteor shower and then rodgorts without the monk healing himself back to full. Glyph of Sac maybe but then you just screwed yourself with a HUGE recharge. In general fire is bad for pvp. Though I do understand your reasons fo Ether prodigy. You need the energy but a little energy management wouldn't hurt.

3 second cast time
15 sec recharge
aoe about the size of ward from melee
burning
high dmg
can be cast thru walls


as for pvp i like rodgorts {as a fire spell}

I use incediary bonds witch takes 3 secs before it hits and also sets on fire for 3 secs {maybe 4} i cast it cast fireball {witch will hit the same second that incediary bonds goes off}

then rodgorts to set them back on fire and keep dealing huge dmg

not to big of a prob ever unless i have to deal with a rager in that case i just get behind a wall and keep on casting.......or die

O.K. Well it must've changed since I've used it cause I swear it was a 5 second cast. Ward area? Are you sure? I have really never seen it had tha big of an area. Always seemed light of dwayna/heal area size

Upon testing in the Isle of the Nameless, it turns out that Rodgort's Invocation is actually only Nearby AoE, rather than In the Area.

I love this spell, used it on my fire ele for ages. I just cast Glyph of Renewal to get this baby going again. It's awesome.
