Edit: After trying out Bullroarer, I have discovered that the new Air-Lore is a toggle ability able to be used on one person at a time and consumes 4 power/second. The 1% chance to negate 24 damage has been changed to a 100% chance on Common Damage. I’m not sure how much Common Damage tanks are taking these days, but it looks to be useful for them when in raids and for our pets when solo’ing. Much better upgrade than I had originally anticipated in the post below.

Sapience released the preliminary patch notes to Volume III, Book 1 today. Within them are a few mentions of LM changes.

So then – our Lightning Storm is amazing. I adore that spell. I know it has a 5-minute cooldown (legacy to reduce that please!), but it is still amazing. I use it in skirmishes pretty much everytime its available and my kin is getting used to my laughs of glee as I flatten groups of mobs with my lightning of awesome. Just call me Storm, ok?
