If you watch the Animatrix, you'll know why it's a bad idea to gather a bunch of people in a room with someone who can cast final strike.

I vote that Imms listen to the playerbase, as this has been brought up countless times. One of which can be found here, where we spoke of quite a few options

I vote that most players don't know what is good for them.

If you dont like the spell and you play a sorceror then do what I do.

Final Strike (not learned)

No one forces you to use the spell, nor learn it.
It is an epic spell and I have seen it used (with the proper RP) more than once. I say leave it as it is. It is TOO strong but the drawbacks are pretty severe as well. Sounds like a fair trade.

I'm not a fan of Final Strike...I wish it could only be cast while wounded and in-combat

The problemo with this idea lies in the fact that if a Sorc is wounded in physical combat, he is going to die very soon. He/she would not even have the time to land a Magic Missile much less a Master level spell. The feeble stamina of a Mage makes it impossible for him to be cornered, wounded and alone before casting a Final Strike.

There's a reason it's called FINAL Strike...

very last and most desperate defense for a sorceror who knows that she is
sure to be defeated by her enemies.


It's not your everyday spell.
There must be a reason behind casting it, if ever.
Sorcerors are balanced and quite fine as they are now.

All in all, either leave it be or remove it entirely. We have beated the crap out of this dead horse over and over and over and over and over and over again... It's now reduced into a smear of blood and nothing more..

Again I speak to soon and get proven wrong again. I find myself agreeing now with the keep FS now.

You have perfectly explained the use of final strike, and that's why it is useless. So far all I'm seeing is a vocal minority speaking up in favor of the spell, but when you look at the votes most people don't really want it around.
