Powers

StormBlast CategoryFive.png Category Five

Summons a severe storm that begins light, but grows in power until it becomes a raging engine of destruction. Left on its own, the Category Five storm is capable of delivering moderate damage over time, and as it grows in power, will eventually begin to fling foes through the air.

In addition, each use of your Storm Blast powers builds its electrical power, rendering it capable of delivering lightning attacks that deal Energy damage.

StormBlast ChainLightning.png Chain Lightning

Hurls a ball of electricity into the air, which moments later returns as a bolt that strikes your target, then chains outward to additional enemies. Creatures unfortunate enough to be struck will be dealt Energy damage and be sapped of some endurance.

While in a Storm Cell, the main target of Chain Lightning will experience additional endurance drain over time.

You channel your storm powers into a direct hit, jolting the enemy with a bolt of lightning that deals Energy damage and saps some endurance. If fired outside of combat, it can be interrupted by enemies, but will do bonus damage. If you are engaged in battle, this attack becomes instant-cast.

While in a Storm Cell, targets have a chance to be stunned. The odds of creating High Winds and Lightning are much greater when Direct Strike is cast out of combat.

While in a Storm Cell, targets experience additional Smashing damage over time.

You cause the air around the foe to rapidly condense, causing hailstones to crash down, dealing Cold damage. There is a chance that an especially large chunk of hail will form, knocking the target down.

While in a Storm Cell, targets are much more likely to get knocked down by large chunks of hail.

StormBlast JetStream.png Jet Stream

You call forth a cone of rapidly moving air that repels enemies, causing Smashing damage.

Enemies who are within a Storm Cell will not be repelled, but instead will be knocked down.

Editor's Note:

While repel effects usually do not interact with KB-to-KD enhancements (eg. 1, 2), Jet Stream's repel is disabled if one is slotted. Note that this does not convert it to a knockdown.

The ability will still have a knockdown effect on enemies within a Storm Cell, regardless of the enhancement being slotted or not.

StormBlast StormCell.png Storm Cell

You conjure a storm in the area that defines the boundaries of your stormy powers. Rain from this power will slightly lower a foe's movement and chance to hit. The use of your Storm Blast attacks may create high winds and lightning within the storm cell, delivering stronger debuffs and causing damage. Additionally, Storm Blast attacks will be enhanced when used against foes victimized by Storm Cell.

Editor's Note:

Storm Cell summons a Pseudopet which is untargetable, has a 60 second duration, and follows you along the ground with limited jumping ability (it cannot fly).
