Volcano and Drulkars Wrath

[Zoubek]

I cant think of any situation those two spells are of any other use then to show off. For me they do around 350-500 damage which seems to be little underwhelming for 5 minutes cooldown and forever cast time + they put Heros Resolve on cooldown. Someone suggested to use it with Primal Cast but literally any breath attack will do better. On other hand none of my dragons is very good with spells. So I wanted to ask how others use them?

[Azath]

My flame specialised biped averages at 600 per hit of volcano, which isnt bad..but not something i multicast because i get a higher damage if i get spells like fiery strike to proc from damage kicker techs, ahahah.

My dragon uses them to draw in multiple targets and as added damage.
Dragons do not have as many spells as bipeds do.. Not sure why?

Drulkar's Wrath, and Volcano suffer from the same issues with the other epic spells Dark Cyclone, and Shining Blades.

All have less than "Epic" damage. Multicasting is the only way to get a semi decent output, but other spells do better as mentioned by Azath. And Shining Blades cannot even be multicast.

I wouldn't mind seeing the damage quadrupled on all of them, and the ability to multicast them removed. Also widen the area of effect to 10 to 12m. Then they would at least feel Epic. To get these changes I would even accept having the timers increased to 20 or 30 minutes on them, but also remove all the linking, especially with Hero's Resolve.

Linking to Hero's Resolve makes no sense, since one is a melee ability, and the rest are spells..

Heros resolve now increases dmg for spells too.

Volcano is not that bad -if you you use all stat and dmg boosters there are.
And if you are a caster.. somehow.

And PLS.. do NOT put away the multicast effect from it-its an area spell- and multicast works fine!

And yes- allow hero`s resolve with it.

Volcano is ok for Flame and me (hybride caster)- Drulkar needs some love

[LOVWYRM]

ok- here are current numbers- tested some min ago- together with Flame.
did not want to post it here- cause Amon might read it^^P *puts wings around Amon`s head so he can`t read^^*
Volcano:
Lov: average dmg per hit by Volcano: 1605-3327
combined with primal cast: 11579-22649 total dmg per Volcano (depends on how many mobs we could pull- all from Queen`s corridor-from gatherer to Hierophant)

Flame: average dmg per hit by Volcano: 1599-3191
combined with primal cast: 23985- 40845 total dmg per Volcano ( he missed less than I- and had more mobs^^)

Drulkar`s Wrath:
Lov: 1707-2352 per hit by DW
Flame :2863- 3181 in one fight he had a total of 74792 total dmg per DW

pls note: we fight together most of the time- but that is not necessary to get this numbers.
sure one cannot pull that much as 2 can- so total dmg is lower.

*sigh*^^ DW seems to have improved- so not sure if it needs more love..

Maybe now you can understand that it would be a bad idea not to allow primal cast with the epics..

Why do I have the feeling I should not have posted this?^^

I agree with Guaran. These spells are all supposed to be epic. I wouldnt mind having a bigger cooldown and multicast removed to make it epic by having more damage. Atm i just use them as regular attacks now and then. All thats epic atm are the animations.
