*Cirdan got back to me on this, not the things i wantedto hear but the feedback wasthere. Thanks so much devs

This from research that some of our testers prior to open beta. It seems like this wasn't the great RA that it became in NF.

5.1.3 Static Tempest - This RA needs to be scraped and replaced with something useful, and appropriate to a class based on Thor. At this time I'm unaware of any Thane who has this RA, it costs too much and does nothing more then hand the enemy a stun immunity.

RA - Static Tempest, worst RA in the game, insta stun immunity, even from itself!

Given that feedback from testers is there, and the state of RvR, any chance in the future this will be reviewed with some sort of resolution in regards to the RA static tempest?

We could only pray that the team would balance/make things better than what they were(for many things). This is the downside of painting yourselves into a corner with a set patch date.

hello any update on this ?

beside being a fun class in pve all together it makes thanes very useless in RvR, except if carried by a regular group accepting a non opti member, which seems unlikely in a competitive environment such as Uth V2
a Tuned WoC to be considered ?
I'm conscious you have loads on you plate

I understand the will to not touch balance and stick to a patch level, but I wouldn't consider reworking Static Tempest a balance change (giving Thanes caster RAs would be). It sounds more like a bug fix to me, I mean RAs aren't supposed to help your opponents.
