Talk:Arcane Blast

I did some limited testing of arcane blast with my friend and I. He was at lvl 28 with 353 force spell power, seeing on average about 240 dmg per cast. I tested it at lvl 14, with 110 force spell power, seeing around 75 dmg a cast. We are thinking that Arcane Blast is around max caster lvl 10, 1d3+3 per level like most spells are. Seems to sound right to us. In any case, there is absolutely a max caster lvl on this despite what the wording suggests. Since it has a caster lvl cap and it can't be meta'd, this ability is SEVERELY lacking compared to other SLAs like sorc savants. --98.94.48.198 12:43, February 7, 2015 (EST)


 * Yes, those SLAs suck.--Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 13:56, February 7, 2015 (EST)


 * Remember that just being level 28 do not add any caster level to your spells. A level 20 wizard and a level 28 wizard, if not into an arcane epic destiny, both will have a caster level of 20. Anyway, your data appear to be correct that the SLA is capped under level 20. Nibelung (Contributions • Message) 17:36, February 7, 2015 (EST)

Spell Resistance
When I first encountered "fiendish" enemies with Spell Resistance, Arcane Blast and Arcane Bolt started constantly failing on these guys with "Saves". Do it means that actually these spells are "Spell Resistance: Yes"? Can anyone verify this? -- 95.27.252.92 (Message &thinsp;•&thinsp;Block &thinsp;•&thinsp; Check ) 11:41, February 25, 2016 (EST)
 * Saves (reflex saves IIRC) are not the same as spell resistance. ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 12:43, February 25, 2016 (EST)
 * I am stating that Arcane Blast and Arcane Bolt are "Spell Resistance: Yes". Please verify/correct this. — previous unsignedIcon tooltip.png Please sign posts using ~    comment by 95.27.252.92 (d&thinsp; &#124;&thinsp;r&thinsp; &#124;&thinsp;b&thinsp; ) &#32; at 21:39, September 18, 2019 (UTC)
 * No, they are "Spell Resistance: No". ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:23, February 27, 2016 (EST)
 * And the spell fails on spell-resistant enemies because of? -- 95.27.252.92 (Message &thinsp;•&thinsp;Block &thinsp;•&thinsp; Check ) 00:29, March 1, 2016 (EST)
 * A Blue shield means spell resistance, a "Save" messaje with a octagonal figure above their head is just, well, a save. Those are a diferent mechanic and should not be confused with Spell resistance. Sforza (Contribs • Message • Email ) 01:28, March 1, 2016 (EST)
