Spells: Lure of Lightning 680dmg

[Nirgon]

Source (same used for the sunstrike fix that was put in)

Skill: Evocation
Mana Required: 320
Casting Time: 4.50 seconds
Spell Recovery: 2.50 seconds
Definition: Direct damage lure spell based on magic drops your target's charisma by 5 and damages for 680. Lure spells are a great new addition to our arsenal in that they allow us to hit mobs that would normally resist everything we threw at them, such as Spite Golems in Hate. They may not hit with as much damage and efficiency as we are accustomed to, but at least we can be a strong part to any group.

Says the same thing about the change on the October 2000 archive, so that would imply that it meant March 29, 2000 (the very first patch after Kunark launch, even though those patch notes expressly say there were no changes made to spells other than resurrection and fear- but at that point there were no 60 wizards to notice the changes). There was also no patch on EQ Live March 29, 2001.

Here you can also see Sunstrike is 450 damage in the Wizard spell list on Dec 10 2000 from the same site you linked: http://web.archive.org/web/200012100...p?Class=Wizard

And Kanras's response confirming validation and a fix for sunstrike:

Kunark spell data has it as 500m/7.5s/1600dmg. Velious spell data has it as 450m/7.0s/1615dmg. Jomar's links prove that it was changed somewhere prior to where we are on the timeline. So it's been upgraded, pending update.

Was hoping this was an easy one! 680 is on the same timeline as Sunstrike 1615.

Easy one? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bump for change a 4 to an 8 when the power of classic EverQuest compels you.

Ele/Treats hold me down bros.
