While you're at it, tell her she still owes me 10 bucks from my last visit!!

I hope you got paid a lot more than that.. 

Soloing epics is done by the 1%.  You need to find an argument that includes the majority of the player base, not the outliers.

/facepalm

Yeah, wizards should actually spawn MORE mobs when they try to kill things! That way they will just STFU and stay in the corner throwing disco balls like we told them. FUCK YOU WIZARDS

Seriously, what is wrong with people?

So you're upset and calling for a nerf because a caster helped finish off the last mob instead of standing there watching? Were you upset with any other melee that were helping you beat it down?

That's not team play; that's pettiness of the highest order. You're claiming the melees "never get a chance to do anything" and that "casters are so OP" because of stuff like that? This is why I really question whether the "OP" claim is a real issue. When we start to pick at the reasons people are saying it, it turns out to be a small minority or a perception over stuff like this that is absolutely meaningless.

No more changes to game mechanics until we have solid information about how exactly death spells are "breaking the game."

Blegh. "But it's brooookkkkkeennnn! I want to be the gooooooodddddd, not the caaaaassstterrrrrrsssss!"

What I want to post over there: Fucking shut up your damn whining. If someone else is better than you at the game, it's not their fucking fault, dumbasses.

Now that I am doine bitching, can someone show me the thread that states what makes the spellpower.  Like for example, combustion 7 = # spellpower. 

That would be great, and I might say thanks.

Spell Power

The spell damage amplification system (including bonuses from items and enhancements) now uses a Spell Power rating to determine how much damage you deal with spells. In most cases, each point of Spell Power increases the base damage of your spell by 1%. (For example, casting a spell with 100 Spell Power will result in double damage.)
Unlike the old damage amplification effects, Spell Power is not restricted by spell level, and bonuses to Spell Power of different types stack, following standard D&D stacking rules. (An Enhancement bonus and an Alchemical bonus will stack, but only the greater of two Enhancement bonuses will apply.) The bonus damage from Spell Power is not multiplied by metamagics such as Empower Spell or Maximize Spell.
Items and enhancements that granted damage amplification to specific damage types will now provide a bonus to Spell Power with spells of that damage type. (For example, an old Combustion V item that used to grant +20% damage to level V or lower Fire spells will now grant a +48 Equipment bonus to Spell Power when casting any Fire spell.) Potency effects grant Spell Power with any spell, as expected, but generally have lower values than specific effects.
Sources of Spell Power include:

Enhancements:
Enhancements such as Flame Manipulation or Pale Master now grant Spell Power to the appropriate spells equal to twice their old percentage values.
Items:
Items with old permanent damage amplification effects now grant an Equipment bonus to Spell Power.
Any weapon that has a Spell Power bonus also grants an Implement bonus equal to 3 times the enchantment bonus of the weapon. A +5 weapon will therefore grant a +15 Implement bonus to Spell Power with all spells. Any effect that increases the enchantment bonus of the weapon (such as an Artificer’s Enchant Weapon) will also increase the Implement bonus.
Any item with old temporary damage amplification effects now grant an Alchemical bonus to Spell Power when used (an Inferno item will now stack with a Combustion item).
The Xachosian Eardweller now grants a +25 Psionic bonus to Spell Power with all spells (it now stacks with all other effects instead of temporarily replacing them).
