Spell Elude: Still Useful? - Page 2

I found it very usefull, but just on level 5; you can use it because of long duration and more resist of enemie's magical attacks.
As archer it help against a lot of popular archer attacks, like arcana strike, ethereal arrow... and it helped against sultar chains too...
You resist really more often.
BUT:
if you are lower level player it will never help, against higher level players... because of too much differences at stats, and powers and it "eats" a lot of mana... so you have to use it in right time, and width less "mana burner" setup.

Sorry for bad english...

Is this maybe one of the skills then that NGD nerfed so that it's only actually useful at the highest levels?

The description doesn't show it well enough though, specially when compared to SOTW. High levels resist a lot already anyway. It would be hard to attribute resists to Spell Elude given how random things are.

Besides, when NGD nerfs, they nerf to kill.

Last time I toyed around with it, it did have some effect on resisting, but I also noticed the reoccuring interesting effect of being totally overkilled after being the only one still standing up in a sultar chain. Spot the obvious target. Made me wish for a "play dead" skill instead.
