New Magician T8 Spells feedback

[Nilbus]

Been meaning to post this since I saw them added (and I do not yet have them as the RNG gods hate me and my loot roll dice so this is based on raw data from the clone) I am not sure what purpose they are filling exactly. I took a look at the Rk1 versions for all 3 mage direct damage spells and in almost every regard the bolt is better to my eyes. In DPS, DPM raw damage and resist check (-170 on bolt -75 on the other two) for sure, the fickle recourse is nice, but I don't know how it exactly compares to the swarm pets from the bolt.

Comet has a nice fast cast compared to the other two, Fickle has the recourse, but bolt has so many advantages over the other two. Maybe I'm missing something.

They were just designed to be additionally nukes for mages. As you said, comet is designed to be a quick cast DD and fickle is meant to be useful in getting the recourse. They are just meant to offer some variance to the single DD available.

Works for me. Thanks Vaion

comet serves as a good spell for trash mobs as they only live a few seconds.

This is true, for trash I usually just sic quarm on em and just dance with it with the SK.
