man you are crazy on top of this yt shiat...wish I could put out a vid half that fast :D

It works for breaking down another players base. Used it for that the other day.. didn't need to use explosives.

I think with the recently added golems you can sort of "direct" the lightning onto them if they have the lightning rod head

Conan legendarium rarelly had mages have really full combat spells most often they use tricks and alchemical shenanigans. And use their powers on more like in the list we have, but I would not mind see more expanded list.

Some of them are combat based spells. They're just not so direct.

Yeah...the lore isn't gonna let that happen. Unless of course devs want to go off source material pull shit like isle of siptah, then maybe you'll get to go full battle mage.

Unfortunately the lore of magic in Conan is more shamanic and isn’t meant for combat. There are mods out their that add some though.

​@@Mystic879the creators want to follow the lore though. You know what they ment. Don't be goofy

I wonder if it required an enemy to have their weapon out to hit them (like a lightening rod)? Otherwise, yeah… pretty lackluster.

Just a tad.😄 Needs more strikes and less time between strikes, but yeah, looks cool.

I figured it was dependant on enemy activity

Seems like it's really good for attacking bases. Most of the spells seem like they're mainly utilitarian and miscellaneous. Not so practical for combat, except the zombies?

I wonder if it was due to location. In the video, the spell was cast in Set City. I tried the Call of the Dead spell there once, I got the fog and could hear "undead" noises, but nothing came out of the ground at all. I never tried it again and I haven't gotten to lightning storm level yet to be able to try.

This guys been killing vital Conan information for years

if it werent for the corrupted attributes they are op af look at the zombies... 20k health... what? those zombies need to be nerfed big time and now they are glitched to be even stronger.

​@@kurbtastic4436well that's the point the corruption is the downside to it. As it makes you weaker in pvp basically. Also the zombies are fair as they only last for a bit. Also you need them to help protect you. As your a glass cannon

Like pure sorcercy builds? because i think that's what they are trying to avoid

Kinda looks like a lazy mod

@@andreasnorberg8285 I know little of the Conan universe, but I believe that it operates on a low fantasy setting? As in the setting does have a magic system, but it's more low key, instead of the over the top displays we might expect to see in other settings.

@@Nyrufa Yeah that's my point. Sure there are mages in Age of Conan but everything ends in demonology and necromancy and that's basicly what we got in the sorcery update

5 Minutes is what i heard from the Devs.

Yup. As with most spells they are timed and just a waste of resources imho. Better to tame your own rhino or horse and put an undead skin on it from the battle pass if you like the abyssal look.

Ice bridge is very fragile (destroyable) so I guess he wont work in bubbles. For now yes you can cast it from it self. But final version probably will be changed.

How long does ice bridge last if not destroyed? Can it be a decent path between tree houses way up the trunk?

Right now I'm working on Q&A video most answers will be there

@@JustHorse nice. Test if sorcery does damage to buildings too because I think people will quit official if it does

@@OniGundamSeed Well as i saw on a video that someone did testing the Spells the one spell that does damage to structures is Lightning Storm (Which also kills players inside bases too btw but might be changed on the live release since i don't think that is intentional).

I gotcha man. The reason it started going berserk is because you probably were not killing things when it was with you. If you don't kill things for about 5mins while it's with you it ends up attacking anything and anyone. This also applies to the Demon you can summon and Rhino. Killing things extends the time limit each time. If you have no use of them anymore then I recommend leaving them behind in a location away from you and your base or just kill it with your thralls. The corpses can be harvested I believe as well. Weapons and armor are the same I believe but I have yet to test them out yet. I'm sure others can confirm and correct me if I missed anything else but that's as much as I know about that.

@@diurnalwinter945 nobody tells u that in guides, thanks

@@choclon9506 Yeah I realized some of the information is scarce and some of it you just have to look into it deeper with watching more videos or the internet for certain specifics. It's tough alright. I recommend just experimenting as well. If you have any other questions let me know and I'll try to answer them for ya.

it destroy all resource and give it to you , the better question you should ask would be , how much harvest you get ? example if we use star metal or best tool in the game for harvest , will it give us more resources or the mass cull ? like at which lvl of tool does mass cull harvest ?

It also lets you harvest star metal without using explosives

However though if they have Archer Thralls they can easily snipe you off the bat so now all the PVP'ers will have to use those now to prevent people from Raiding from the Air (Bat) especially Alpha Tribes but yeah people who don't have Archer Thralls then yeah it's over for them!.

@@darkstar_sierra1588 yes but that means they have to be in the open to shoot you, you can shoot them before a raid and with the nerfs on thralls and change in stats a lot of players will be strong with bows and with the abyssal bow and thrall limit it would take time yes but far from unraidable

I believe all that drops. But you can make more.

The spells aren’t a sorcerers damage dealers, their summons are. It’s a very summon heavy playstyle. You are supposed to have an army of zombies since you can just knock out any NPC and turn them into a zombie

@@Klaus_Klavier well, that's actually disappointing. I prefer arcane mages over necromancers.

@@MyZ001 yeah but it has to fit in the Conan the barbarian universe as this is the games setting, they specifically said magic won’t really be direct combat, that being said when you corrupt your skill tree you become a glass cannon because you’re always healing, mitigating damage and putting it onto your followers, healing your followers, summoning random demons to help attack, and spewing corruption like a leaky balloon every time you get hit.

@@Klaus_Klavier Hahaha, yea uhhh I think I'm good on that

how would pure combat spells work? right now i cant imagine choosing 3 runes withotu getting smacked in the face.. maybe alternate button (left click) could have some quickcasts or something

4-6 weeks quessing

The 3.0 update is in Certification Process right now for Consoles it could take a few weeks once the devs get the go ahead they will give us a proper release date.

@@darkstar_sierra1588 please tell me your kidding the whole point of a test live is for them to stress test and fix bugs if they have it in cert that means all they did is release the test live as a teaser and all the bugs found will take God knows how long to be sorted out. Ugh

Yeah unfortunately from the very beginning they said they weren't gonna be adding combat spells like fireballs and whatnot, sorcery in Conan lore is all about demonic entities and utility. We can hope they'll add more as they go but it was never gonna be a true combat option

@@chrissaikyo I agree. I think adding fire balls and stuff would ruin the low fantasy feel of the Conan universe and turn it into more of a generic rpg. But maybe they could've added more illusion/mind control spells, like Skyrim's pacify and frenzy spells. Imagine using those on enemy thralls to turn them against each other.

@@chrissaikyo Yeah, conan is a ''sword and sorcery'' type of universe, a more dark, demonic magic, with sacrificial rites and demons to summon casting fireball would ruin it. But putting magic that you corrupt someone, dealing DoT damage would be cool

I find many of them very useful. You'd be surprised.

@@R0GU351GN4L Feel like elaborating? I mean among other very frustrating aspects of this magic is the fact that once you level it up it has so much passive damage that its virtually impossible to knock out even a tier 4 thrall before it does. Yet you need a constant supply of thralls to fuel the spells.

Dude, Zombie hordes and mobility spells that invalidate normal base defenses.

Uh. A bat that can fly you into an air base is a game changer dude.

Yes I'm sure making an icebride/ramp to supersede the enemies barricades and summoning armies of Zombies whilst being invisible or air dropping from a bat creature would be absolutely useless in PVP... -.-' These are just old school magic, they take time to cast and strategy to plan out.
