A very huge rip off of the spell "Thunder Storm" from Diablo 2.
Not only did he take the exact same name, but it does the exact same thing. Sorry get some originality.

sorry - try to add to the discussion *sighs*
 
It's here to be discussed - if it's from D2, change it, suggest it be killed, offer an alteration.  I only moved it here to be discussed in an attempt to further the development of Druids in NM.

I think jolt is enough along the lines of direct damage spells, tweak that instead. The nature/charm are the ones I believe to be of real interest and use...

I wasnt directing my comments to you Cyric. I read Leafstorms previous post about skills for druids, half of them were directly from D2, he should have at least changed the name.
 
I had a decent spell idea for Druids.
 
Venomous Spittle:
"Summons" a small reptile filled with Venomous Saliva that it squirts at the Druids target damaging and poisoning it. Crawling back from whence it came after completing its task.
 
Damage = (DWis x Dlvl/ECon) + 10
Poison Damage = Damage/4
 
This is just a quick rough idea, and can easily be tweaked.
 
DWis = Druid Wisdom ect..
ECon = Enemy Con

Aye, depends on when I can be online, but if the money is good, I'll show up  Wink
 
It's a good start, seeing how druids need a heart-transplant, and pronto.

Actually it was based on Icewind Dale...
 
But whatever, the name changed, and add a 15 % chance that the target is paralyzed for 5 seconds (no stamina/regeneration).
 
Cost 45 instead of 40.  
 
I didn't even remember the spell Thunder Storm in D2...
 
And most of those spells were not based on D2. And yes I do play D2.

Ok, now I got a new name...
 
Static Storm: Powerful electric blows fall from the sky and randomly hit enemies.
 
Damage depends on druid's level, intelligence and wisdom.
Level 27, 45 mana cost, lasts for 40 seconds in one single square.
 
Chance of five second paralyse: 15%.
Can be resisted.
 
Static Storm can't be cast inside buildings or caves (so it's a bit fair and we can't use it against most bosses). Can be used inside old/half wrecked buildings.
 
Is it better?

I meant the spell in Icewind Dale is called Call Lightning... There is also another spell druids get (In Icewind dale 2) Called Static Charge, which is basically Call Lightning but it works indoors...

I do not think that it should be able to be attacked, it would be very hard to hit a cloud.  Maybe make it follow the druid where he goes (maybe he is sad), but cut the time it lasts to like 30 secs.  I don't think it should sit where druid was because you would be running through paths of torrential rain storms going from place to place.

No need to say that you can't cast one storm if another storm is still on effect. And if another druid casts it on a square you can't cast it on that square. And it can't be hit, it just exists and isn't shown on screen. But still I don't think it should follow the druid.
 
I don't have Icewind Dale 2 yet. And I don't play Icewind Dale 1 since I started playing Nightmist again. So I don't really remember the name, but you might be right, Pyros.
 
P.S. Monsters/players gold are dropped if they are killed by the Static Storm, but the druid still gets the pk.

The spell in D2 is called Thunder Storm, and it attacks random enemies around you for set duration.

Just trained a sorcy to 24 to check that spell. But there are many differences... The Static Storm doesn't follow you around, has a chance of resisting, a chance of paralysis. And it is a really high level (max in D2 is 99 and you get at 24, here max is 30 and you get it at 27).

But its much easier to reach level 30 than it is to reach 99.
