Ouch. Sort of awesome for Channeling rits...maybe a Me/Rt with Fast Casting? It only costs 5 energy, definitely spammable, especially with some Inspiration spells thrown in. 88.152.254.106 10:20, 24 September 2006 (CDT)

Together with Attuned Was Songkai this is like spammable with less energy/ Shady 13:06, 26 September 2006 (CDT)

Yep, awesome, now Ritualists can be as powerful as flare spammers!!! oh yeah, feel my wrath Echokin 22:28, 28 September 2006 (CDT)

Indeed. 36 DPS from spamming this every 1.75 seconds. Simply amazing <_< Stone Daggers spam, for comparison, is 33 DPS, while Ice Spear reaches 42. This doesn't have the annoying projectile aspect, but I'm really not feeling it. Yes, you can mix it up a bit, but really, this is just garbage for a pre-searing equivalent.Merengue 23:10, 28 September 2006 (CDT)

...what? All four (this, Daggers, Flare, Ice Spear) cost 5 energy and have a 1 second cast time with no recharge (assuming conditions are met for this, which isn't hard to fathom). Surge does more damage than Flare and Daggers and has a higher range than Ice Spear, and hits instantly. Plus with Songkai to fulfill the condition it costs nearly half the energy.

I used this skill with the optimal conditions and I casted it through Diversion with no disabling..neat. Do any other skills do this? - Entheos Geon ‎ 00:47, 23 November 2006 (CST)

All skills that have an instant recharge under certain conditions bypass Diversion. So, yes. Tycn 03:01, 4 December 2006 (CST)

Interesting to note. Does it remove diversion when it does so?Cyrogenic 03:27, 6 February 2007 (CST)

Guys this skill is best used as a "filler" at the end of your channeling chain while your other more powerful skill are recharging. That and to cast through Diversion. Just try this template: AIMCILykzcMXmdzLnxtceNFA set up the spirits and hold the AwL. Cast your attack spells in order and use Renewing Surge at the end over and over until you run out of energy and use Signet of Spirits. Repeat from start. Remember that none of these require line of sight.

Underpowered Edit

This skill is a conditional, weaker flare. Why did this not get buffed when flare did? --Deathwing 12:38, 7 February 2007 (CST)

Because Destructive was Glaive was buffed --Gimmethegepgun 16:08, 20 February 2007 (CST)

This skill is still a piece of shit. Even with DwG, it does mediocre damage. I would actually go far enough to say that flare is better than this. It only meets the damage of flare with DwG, if it's 'rupted it doesn't instant recharge, you have to be holding ashes for the instant recharge, and flare synergizes with a few things, like Mark of Rodgort, or uhh... well, MoR is all I got for now. The only advantage this has over flare is that it's not a projectile. Someone should slap a LAME tag on it.--Darksyde 05:11, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
