LEvel 8 spell - Shock of Blades (was Evoc, now Conj.)
Level 24 spell - Shock of Spikes (was Evoc, now Conj)

I used these two spells as I was levelling because they were the most mana efficient.

Why are you even arguing? This isn't a debate, it's a report of a broken mechanism that's hindering my performance.

I was only saying that most people in this scenario hit 20, go out blasting with their 16 and 20 evoc nukes, and hit their main spec in evoc.

For the game mechanic to have affected you either:

a) you were using a terrible 30mana-35dmg lvl 8 nuke instead of 105-146 lvl 20 nuke (lol).
b) you had the worst streak of skill up's ever and made level 24 without hitting 51 in any spec skill and then got a bad main spec off the 24 conjuration nuke.

I just dinged 23 and my main spec is over 100 so I just don't think it's very plausible. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, but 99 / 100 times this situation occurs through user error.

Will talk this over and see what we can do. But, I always parked somewhere and spammed the level 1 heal to make sure I got alteration up back in the day on live. So this was an option, the issue remains that the nukes were setup incorrectly.

Don't break your back working on it, it's just not that big of a deal, at least to most magicians. We'll be able to change things as often as we would like when Sol Ro comes out anyway, and it seems that is only a few months away. It's not like we lose out with specializing in evocation, it's just not what a few of us would choose, in retrospect. A.k.a., not a big deal.

I believe you and I levelled during completely different eras. What is now, is not what once was.

And for those who won't understand:

The spells were updated. The best mana/damage ratio was my level 8 nuke, which I complained about multiple times as I was levelling.... you should have been there.

So what was it? Pay 100 mana and cast a 150 damage nuke? Or pay 20 mana and have a 37 damage nuke? So this makes your argument quite moot.

Not at all.

There were now two broken mechanics involved. If they had both functioned correctly your actions would have led you to your current spec. If you want a rollback on the lvl8 spell then you should also have a rollback on the extra mana you got. Consider how much more mana efficient you were leveling up until 20 you should have had plenty of time to sit and cast for 20 mins like everyone else.

Here I'll add another one. Since the boats were broken you should get to respec since you would have practiced conjuration, and couldn't because the boats were broken.

Also by lvl 20 that 20/37 nuke is basically not as mana efficient as the lvl 20 nuke taking into account meditation. You save ~4 mana every 14 seconds for 1/4th the dps, but I'm sure you already knew that considering how much more veteran and better player you are than me and everyone else.
