Returning player w/61 Druid. Before I upgrade I tried to find out about the Druid single shot kill I had heard about. What is it, when do you get it. And/or has it been nurfed?

News to me. Altho I bet you could kill a level 1 mob "one shot" with your top nuke at 61! Smiley: lol

https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=1531 Banishment is the only one that comes to mind, and it's only vs. summoned and costs a star ruby every cast. Also, it used to not destroy the target every time for some reason.

Or maybe meant a buff from getting a kill shot, but didn't really read that way. And I don't recall if Dru get one or not.

Nice call. https://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/EQ:Storm_Strike for a link to the AA. It's not a destroy target, but could see how it could be a one shot on lower hp mobs.

Storm Strike is an incredible AA, especially maxed out and then with maxed out crit frequency and crit damage AA's. It sure is a one-shot mana-free kill against a lot of mobs, but unfortunately NOT any that would give XP for the level of the caster. When I'm doing a root-rot or a quint-kite I always cast it every time it refreshes. Yeah, DUH, but I've talked with higher-level druids that have never bought it or don't buy beyond first level because it seems so "weak" initially. It does take a lot of AA's to max it out but then it's a WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION! ;)

Banishment leaves no mob corpse, so no loot and I don't think you get XP from a banishment kill (altho I'd have to confirm that.) It's strictly a desperation spell and only for lower levels since I'm pretty sure it won't "banish" higher-level elementals and summoned mobs. Another thing to test tho since I haven't used it in ages.

There are variations on Banishment such as level 98 Exterminate the Unnatural which do extra damage against summoned and have a CHANCE to insta-kill. I'll have to play with that and see if the insta-kill triggers if it leaves a corpse and gives XP. This is part of a line of spells I haven't had much use for, maybe my loss?

Yes, Storm Strike has been a favorite of mine, as well. The other nice thing about it is that if you use it when the mob has more than 75% health, there is a second blast, about 50% of the size of the main one. It became my go-to pull spell, along with the snare AA.

I can't wait til April 16th, when my EQ2 gold membership will mean that EQ is also gold, and I can auto-grant about 2400 AAs on my Druid, and have Storm Strike buffed up quite a bit :)
