Volcanic Orb Cooldown too long

[Falcon68]

This is my main damage spell in my dream/earth build and I end up casting the spell and then using my staff until the cooldown is done. I feel this cooldown is way too long (its about 8 seconds) and it prevents a volcanic orb build to be viable. If this skill could get a reduced cooldown to maybe 3-4 seconds that would make it much more viable.

i have a level 62 elementalist (earth/storm) that CAN cast VO just about twice per second. I swapped my gear around a bit because it's unnecessary to cast that many and it just insta-drains your mana anyways.

pro-tip: look for gear with -%recharge... as a caster, you need this gear anyways.





EDIT:

dear lord... this was the 2nd most recent topic in this forum, and its over a year and a half old? my bad for the necro... not as though it even matters as it was top of the list anyways... i guess my point is that it's extremely depressing how inactive this community is. i guess i just found out about this game too late? *slashwrist*

Well, no... just use the "New posts" button and you'll see that there's lots of activity around

To be fair, this is the sub-forum for the balance patch which has been long abandoned.

Well, he talked about "the forum", so I thought he meant the whole thing. My bad

I think he did. I'm with you.

The community isn't dead, it's just not interested in balance patches anymore.

I'm going to close this thread as it's changed from the original 18 month old point. Create a new thread if needs be.
