![]() The crazy hits are the exception, not the rule and if they're wearing a ton of damage gear, chances are they are just as easily succeptable to being one-shotted themselves. Equally in 1.10, Power Infusion adds a potential 20% FURTHER damage to Mages.īesides, just becaue 3-4k+ hits are possible, doesn't mean they always happen. However in 1.10 Priest survivability (more mitigation from shield and inner fire, more resistance to spell interrupt, more damage, even holy specced, and specific anti rogue talents like Blessed Recovery) is way up, and no doubt Mages will be next - even now, with Blink and Frost Nova they are pretty much impossible if they're good, and if Vanish isn't up. Equally, opponents can just run away and there's literally nothing I can do. Sure, with my gear, I can beat most casters *IF* I get the drop on them, and some lucky crits, but for 4 minutes 40 secs of every 5 when Vanish is down, a root or snare of ANY kind and I'm fucked. Tuvai complains of 'only' 15 secs of usefulness every 3 minutes - I wonder if, maybe, he'd prefer to just be able to do 5k damage ALL the time instantly and that would be ok? Against the Druid in bear my Backstabs crit 635 and my Coldblood 5pt Eviscerate does about 1020. Last night I was on attack with him- I have 5/8 NS, epic daggers and bow, two epic rings and the ZHM. This makes him very very useful in WSG - opposing teams always use druids, and even bearform druids get instagibbed. Even without crits almost anyone is instantly dead. With that + Arcane Power and POM he can do an instant Pyroblast followed by a Fireblast and do around 5000 + 2000+ DoT. Mages are also the BIGGEST whiners and so are getting a buff in 1.11 that will likely increase their survivability. May be limited to a particular location.Had a whine about this last night but I'll do it again:.May only be able to trigger a specific type of transience (data-based, life-based, art-based, etc.).May be countered by Perpetualness Manipulation.May be limited to one particular target of ephemerality.This can be especially potent considering that ephemerality is often a matter of opinion and/or perspective, since the idea of what is persistent and relative is often quite comparable. One could even control the mindsets of those who encounter ephemeral occurrences. One can have control or expertise in managing certain temporary phenomena. Items, events or even powers can be made to exist or appear for only brief periods conversely, a user could potentially make something transient last longer than normal. Planned obsolescence (the practice of designing commodities to fail or become irrelevant and require upkeep or replacement eventually) can be considered a form of economic ephemerality.Ĭontrolling ephemerality allows one to generate effects on the material and immaterial world. Even digital information can be ephemeral due to its fast-paced, quick-changing nature. This can range from advertisements in newspapers and flyers to temporary art installations. ![]() They are often used for aesthetics or information transference, considered unnecessary once their purpose has been fulfilled. Even mental activities like dreaming are considered ephemeral due to their temporary natures.Īrtificial creations exhibit transient qualities, often referred to as ephemera. Processes like olfaction and memory can be considered transitory due to only being used for limited periods at certain times. Some plants only grow in winter or only come into bloom in desert regions after a rainstorm. Insects like mayflies have incredibly brief adult lives, mating and dying within a few hours. There are organisms known for their ephemeral natures. Some islands appear thanks to volcanic activity and disappear due to erosion. Some pathways come into being when bodies of water evaporate, only to be covered up again due to precipitation or tide flow. Some formations, like waterways, only exist for a limited time, such as after rain. Once conditions change or a particular purpose is served, they disappear or lose their current relevance.Įphemerality is common in nature. They come into being only under certain circumstances or are created to last for brief periods. There are various instances where material or immaterial things are known to only exist for a limited time. ![]() Where permanence deals with the ability of tangible and intangible entities to endure the test of time and maintain themselves, ephemerality is concerned with the transitory nature of existence. One such set is permanence and ephemerality. The whole of reality can be conceived as being made up of complementary aspects such as order and chaos, life and death, reality and illusion. The user can manipulate ephemerality, the conceptual nature of transience or temporary being. Transience/Transiency Control/Manipulation.
