Maelstorm has 50% lighting I believe

Damage Type: 25% Electric, 25% Heat, 25% Asphyxiation, 25% Unblockable

Sounds painful for fish-like races.

And a lot of races are weak against electric and heat damage

Against electric, it's only merians and mugwumps, I thought. Though there is a lot for fire.

Most merians are not fighting Celestian Aquamancers

Pollution's is similar. It is not 100% poison. It's...25% poison, 25% blunt, 25% asphyxiation, 25% unblockable? Something like that.

Exactly, except for traitors

Well, that population does seem to be growing...

How can you look at those skills, and say that Fury is balanced with them? 100% cutting is one of the weakest types you could pick. 25% unblockable? What crap.

Actually, it seems like the damage formula ignores the damage type entirely. I'll test it with Forren when Nil isn't being raided.

Having done a test earlier, fury did 3044 damage to me with or without my plate mail on.

Double check with Revan, coulda sworn he said it was 100% poison, but you could be right...

come alive and pound with heavy branches. Rocks and debris fly through the air,
while the fury of the wind mixes with the angry howl of beasts.

He had full health before each. Fury and Pollute do the same damage. Now, the question is, what about Maelstrom in Deluge, since cold attacks do more under water?

Under water?? hell in water they do 25% more

Well shouldn't Pollution do more in a Tained area then?

Mugwumps get owned by Maelstrom.

An inherent property of cold damage is that it does more in water terrain.


Err, didn't I just say that the damage formula for maelstrom/fury/pollute ignores their damage types, and does damage directly based on their target's maxhealth?

This makes Maelstrom superior to Pollution in all aspects. since you have to be in a water demesne to even cast it. Pollution you have to be in a Geo demesne and its damage has no special effects/boosts from being in a tainted environment... so basically if you wanna meta-game mage go Celest... only way to do it....
