above 50%, a static field can do more damage than a nova would deal, except that it does it in an aoe even larger than your screen, instead of melee range
since it requires no targeting you can throw it in safely with teleports without risking your opponent landing a namelock nearly as much
This is probably the funniest shit I have ever read.
Now static is all of a sudden pvp worthy.
Static Field
Required Level: 6
Prerequisites None
A devastating spell of limited range, Static Field instantly removes a good portion of the health of nearby enemies. Thusly injured, enemies are easy prey to the follow-up attacks of the Sorceress or her party members. Subsequent castings do less damage, but in combination with other spells or a decisive melee attack, a Sorceress can rely on this powerful ability to quickly dispatch even the strongest of foes.
Effect: Every enemy in a radius around you lose 25% of their current health.
Player vs Player: Static Field has a limited effect against other Players.Static Field is a very important Skill for the Sorceress. Use Static Field on highly magic resistant bosses and Unique Monsters, that the Sorceress would otherwise have problems fighting when using her Fire, Cold and other Lightning Spells. Additional points into Static Field only increases the radius of the spell's effect so at some point, you will no longer receive a large benefit from additional points. You can rely on items that give bonus skill points to all skills to build up Static Field without having to place too many points to start it off.
The Benefits of Static field decrease rapidly so cast Static Field a few times to bring the Monster's Hit Points down then combine with another spell to finish them off. This spell works very well in combination with other party member attacks.
Static Field is Lightning damage, and can be resisted through Lightning Resistance.
Static Field is not affected by Conviction and Lower Resist.
Static Field will not take a monster below 33% health in Nightmare and 50% in Hell.
