"I've felt the shock spells have been fairly reliable so far. I've heard
weather patterns affect our spells too but I haven't devoted the time to
confirm that. :)"

Hmmm, If thats true, maybe I should be casting shock spells in the rain? I
love Thunderstrike when it works but mine seems to get resisted a lot. It
reminds me of what the Terrors used on me when I was fighting them. At
least until I learned I could root them and my bolt spell had a longer range
then their spells. I'd still laugh my butt off as my shamen friend would
get blasted by me . He didn't think it was so funny tho'.
