Bigsbys? Worth it?

Unread post by CommanderKrieg »

Redoing my spell list as a sorc with few spells.

After the update, are bigsbys worth it? Whats the word on them, now? Are they completely broke? Should I wait until they are fixed to rebuild?
-Insert profound statement-

Out of good ones.

Wait until they're in a final state. They're broken right now, and we don't know where they'll end up.

Bigby's right now... at least the level 6 one... turns out to be a summons and hangs out with you. And it attacks your other summons sometimes LOL!. But it does knockdown and daze like a boss.
If the text is this color, I am on duty, everything else is just my humble opinion.

Bigby ( all of them ) are close to worthless at the moment. The hands die very fast. I rcred my sorcerer and got rid of them. I expect a free RCR when that hands are fixed - if the free rcr bot is changed.

On a similar issue, after so many years, can we expect a fix to the sorcerer and epic spells bug?

I've been gone a bit. Have the Bigby's spells become better yet?

As best I can tell at least from the mobs that cast them they are back to being free win buttons for arcane casters with no recourse against them. E.G. They work as they used to before the update happened. :)

It's not working yet. I cast it on some NPCs and it did knockdown once and then actually attacked a party member and got him killed, so no, don't take it yet

Bigbys were reverted to their original version for mobs.
Players get the newest version of bigbys; that are not working 100% as intented

So it's great for the monsters but not for us. :(
