Dawn of War Codex

Now I've previously thought this ability fires 3 bolts if he has less than 100 energy, and 6 if he was 100 or more. AFAIK the each bolt does 18 plasma damage.

However I hear a lot that this ability becomes more powerful the more energy he has - someone know the figures for this? Or is this just a rumour?

well the more energy the sorc has, the more often he can shoot 6 bolts at once

It's just a simplification of the rule you already stated.

If you try to cancel this it still takes your energy.

I guess this belongs under bugs?

Isn't doombolt continuous cast though? You can shoot one bolt out of 6 and cancel it then, or any time you want, but you can't get your energy back. It's not like destructor where there is a single instant when the cast occurs, which makes a full energy refund possible.

Yeah, it also helps prevent people glitching it to get energy back for continuous casts.

3 bolts - when he has 60 energy,
6 bolts - when he has 120 energy,
and 9 bolts - when he has 180 energy

Are you suggesting it be changed to that, becuase that isn't how it currently works. At the moment is it <100 energy = 3 doombolts, >/= 100 energy = 6 doombolts

9 bolts would be too powerful. Quite strong enough as it is.

At lvl 9 and in T3 when most squads have more than 1500 hp ? No, that won`t be too powerful.

It is 6 bolts with 100 or more energy, otherwise 3. No buff needeed ofc.

And it would calculate the number of bolts before mana is expended?
So casting at 101 energy gives 6 bolts?

Casting at 100 energy gives you 6 bolts.

It would be too strong fankater considering the daemon armour grants additional energy, man, that would instantly butcher any t1 squads, even if they had gained levels.
