Talk:Thunderclap

I've noticed that recently, a lot of the pages have progressions leading up to 20. I know 19 is reachable by a few means (Awaken the Blood + Focus or Glyph + Focus), but how does one reach 20? Furthermore, it's been showing up in places that don't have a +2 modifying spell (Healing Prayers, for example). Is this necessary, or should progressions be edited to reflect the actual maximum? --Rustjive 03:52, 18 November 2005 (UTC)


 * A wiseman once told us that if you wield two +1 items at the same time (wand + focus item) then there is a 4% chance they will kick in at the same time and he claimed that if they do, you will get +2 in the desired attribute. So, coupled with Elemental power, Superior Rune and +1 headgear, you get to attribute level 20 on steriods. :)
 * Old news, but there are no +1 wands... --Angelo
 * As you noted this is only possible for 4 Ele attributes and a couple of Necro ones. For the other ones, they should be up to the most possible under the law. Though be mindful that there is a template used on some pages that may force the table to be up to 20. Feel free to remove the template as it never really caught on. --Karlos 08:05, 18 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I dunno if you meant my templates or the one that came before it, but the older one doesn't exist anymore and mine goes to 19. --Fyren 08:19, 18 November 2005 (UTC)


 * We took out Progression and Progression2? I thought I saw someone using them somewhere. Ignore me. :) --Karlos 08:43, 18 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I appropriated those names. --Fyren 09:18, 18 November 2005 (UTC)


 * you can get to lvl 20 bye yousing a statue(whit the right blessing it it gives +1 at air magic) &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rayquaza (talk &bull; contribs) 16:42, 14 August 2006 (CDT).

Does anyone know why sometimes I just lose the -5, but some other times I lose -5 -5? I'm thinking it might have to do with how close I'm standing. And yes, it is just -5 if you're knocking down multiple foes. [18 air] --Tinarto 18:55, 5 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Yeah, I know why. It's because you're either using Conjure Lightning or Lightning Touch with it. Conjure Lightning does additional lightning damage that's counted separately from the lightning damage from your wand attack, and Lightning Touch will do initial lightning damage and extra lightning damage if there's a water hex on the target. Thunderclap will be triggered on each source of lightning damage. --Tjoneil 22:14, 17 May 2006 (CDT)

Is there any real use of this skill for a PvP or PvE ele? As you cant take Ether Prodigy to gain energy with it, i fail to see a valid reason to use this. Might as well just made it a monster only skill (for mursaat). Robin of Glory  06:10, 29 July 2006 (CDT)
 * A friend of mine used to use this to keep the opposing team down for ~30 seconds (as per Talk:Knockdown). Using Glyph of Elemental Power to raise his Air Magic to 18, he'd be spending 5 energy per knockdown, which occurs every 2 seconds. By keeping the target and those adjacent to them on the floor, the Warriors were able to wreak havoc without much resistance. 220.233.103.77 06:29, 29 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Or for spikes. With a lighting wand, you can keep the infuser down for as long as you want, and just stop wanding after the spike's done. Tycn 22:47, 28 December 2006 (CST)
 * Consider using brambles. --Thefez

Still need a lightning weapon, it doesn't convert your dmg type &mdash; Skuld 12:34, 16 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Looks like Karlos was overzealous.. I reverted his edit. Ifer 16:41, 16 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Went over them again. A shortbow fires faster than a hornbow and won't overlap hits/knockdowns.  --Fyren 17:02, 16 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Sorry about the conjure lightning thing. Spelled out how the energy loss takes place. Reinstated the Glyph of elemental power comment as it's relevant here. --Karlos 20:31, 16 September 2006 (CDT)


 * You can use it on any elemental spell but we decided long ago not to say that. --Fyren 20:36, 16 September 2006 (CDT)

reality
this skill is useless

If you say so....The Hobo 05:53, 30 January 2007 (CST)


 * I use this skill on a build in RA just for the sole purpose of annoying someone and making them frustrated. thunderclap, shocking shortbow, brambles and you can end up being really annoying. throw in a pet just to further annoy them, maybe to add daze. Its really funny to get 2-3 warriors attacking your monk, keep them all down on the ground for ~1 min if u reapply. if you keep them on the ground for a minute at the expense of 100 energy, thats fine in my book.--71.64.115.233 23:49, 10 March 2007 (CST)
 * Just to point out, we DO have a favored build using Thunderclap. Build:E/R Thunderbow  Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
