Celtic Heroes

Ok so here are my test results. Quite shocking actually. I did three seperate tests. I tested on enemies my level and I'm 135. I tested on the boggans in carrowmore tunnel.

First test I used only my rad es gear with 950 defense:
1st attempt: enemy hit me 12 times and missed me 7 times
2nd attempt: enemy hit me 15 times and missed me 7 times
3rd attempt: enemy hit me 19 times and missed me 13 times

Second test I used both my rad es gear and maxed hw at 30/30 which is -1200 attack:
1st attempt: enemy hit me 1 time and missed me 14 times
2nd attempt: enemy hit me 6 times and missed me 20 times
3rd attempt: enemy hit me 5 times and missed me 14 times

Last test I used just howling wind maxed at 30/30 and no es gear:
1st attempt: enemy hit me 24 times and missed 1 time!!
2nd attempt: enemy hit me 56 times and missed 8 times
3rd attempt: enemy hit me 52 times and missed 6 times
4th attempt: enemy hit me 64 times and missed 7 times

This clearly proves to me how broken howling wind is.
OTM. FIX THE DRUID CLASS!!!

While your at it. I want my natures touch back in pvp!

Also, adding dex isnt all that bad. Others classes have the Str problem, druids and mages have the Foc problem...

I have the Focus of the Seer adding 200 focus, i took it off and it reduced touch by about 40 points... is it really worth 350k?!
It added about 60 hit points to my lightning too..... you gotta be seriously kidding me, that is ridiculous! A jump of 465focus to 665 adds just that!!??

Wow thats crazy....

Im gonna run some tests when i get home as well, post my results later

I know but with druid energy issues it is now impractical for me to reduce my focus as I need a much larger energy pool.

Ran another test with over - 1700 hw on a connaught defender and dodged about 15 % of melee

This skill is severely broken/ineffective/bugged and needs a fix.

Prior to the last patch it was fine. Interrupts of casts is so annoying.

The alternative is to use roots which means not worth using storm touch and ranged mobs can still hit you so for me it isn't an alternative.

Please fix this otm.

now it doesnt work now i just relized it when i lost 20% of hp

Winds weren't nerfed per se, just mob attack went past 2k.

I still survive fine on firbolg raiders with 310 defense and a -1723 wind. I have 3k hp and lose about 1k per bolg (takes the length of about 1 vines to kill each).

Is it a good skill still for solo? Ya. Is it underpowered? No. Is it a skill I use regularly with the mob attack increase? No. Would I use it for solo still? Ya.

I understand wind was awesome, and I was a pretty darn good dps and wind druid that leveled with a mage before the nerf without ever getting hit. But really, chars have to be hit at some point, or it defeats the purpose of auto attack and druids may aswell not exist except to use wind and dps if it worked like pre nerf.

I Think it is underpowered now and I do not think it is as useful at all.

Also I think it added a different dimension to the class pre patch and it was one I enjoyed very much.

Also howling wind never had a massive effect on a lot of bosses(ow eyes excluded) so I don't understand why you would feel if it worked as it should that druids would just hw and dps. Besides I thought with mob skill hits being as high as they are this update it would add an interesting challenge to solo a gloom troll with my main.

Besides howling wind was great fun to use and most druids I know who used it never complained it made their build boring, if anything it made the class playable in a solo capacity which I thought was great it was also great if you had aggro from adds on you and you could cast hw, cast a heal on a tank then focus on the add while you waited for support. The interrupts of casts are so frustrating now it really sucks the fun out of playing.

Just fix it back to pre patch glory because it is crap now.

Ok ive ran my tests on glimmerwings

Test 1: 405 defence, 34/30 HW reducing by 1400. I dodge 100% of all attacks
Test 2: No defence, 34/30 HW reducing by 1400. I doge 80% of all attacks
Test 3: 405 defence, no HW. I dodge 20% of attacks

HW still works for me, not exactly sure what you guys are on about

I must be bugged then and I am very jealous.

What is your defence though? It seems that defence plays a big role.
