But then, you might want Grey Seer (Plague) because instead of Pestilent Birth, they have "The Dreaded Thirteenth Spell", which summons Stormvermin Halberds (overcast, but without the miscast chance, lets you summon Stormvermin Sword/Shield instead). The other option is you use Grey Seer (Ruin) to overcast Warp Lightning spells. So if you use Warlock Engineers, just be careful when you overcast Warp Lightning. Caster suffers backlash damage, spell completely backfires upon you. Caster suffers backlash damage but spell still fires.ģ. So maybe, during overcast, three things can happen:Ģ. Sometimes the spells still fire but I've seen my Eshin Sorcerer fail a cast twice during overcast, he suffered health damage and the spell didn't go off. Miscast happens when you overcast a spell but it backfires. Lore of Ruin is great, but Warlock Engineers do not have skills that reduce the miscast chance. I used it and the rat kinda phased into the wall, couldn't see much of its farting animation but the units pretty much got broken from one cast (although I had Plagueclaw Catapults bombard them for a while there but that one spell did much more damage than my Catapults and Cannons did combined). It turns out that I can cast that on wall units in siege, not sure if that's intended. The Plague spell, if I remember, looks like a giant green rat standing over the enemy troops, and he farts out some poison gas that spreads around him in a circle. They are nice, but Lore of Plague gives you those as well.Ĭontinuing on, Lore of Plague gives you an aoe poison attack buff, an aoe armor debuff (it's called Wither, -30 armor debuff, but -60 when overcast) and lastly, the Plague spell.


Lore of Ruin gives you a bunch of damage spells. Maybe Pestilent Birth? The 2nd perk you take for these skills only reduces the Winds of Magic required to cast the spells.

Neither of them can be overcast, or at least not that I know of. Lore of Plague gives you Vermintide (summons Clanrats, 6 casts per battle) and Pestilent Birth (summons Plague Monks, 2 casts per battle). (Just a note, Warlock Engineer's spells come from Lore of Ruin.) Lore of Plague is likely better than Lore of Ruin.
