Bolide and Seism are worthless.
Every time I use them, the meteors strike the ground everywhere -but- the enemy I wanna target, and the eruptions on the ground do nothing, maybe they hit once. How the hell can you target these spells?

try to use the proper spells against targets who are weak to that element. Bolide is a great spell, seism is ok vs some enemies. They aren't worthless m80. use bolide before engaging enemies and run into them after charging it fully for a field of armageddon

Also seism doesn't do direct damage. It basically works the same as the boulders that fall off canyons. Those boulders need to hit enemies and it'll wreck them hard, but you can't aim it at all.

Bolide will kill a chimera in two hits at around level 40. The thing about bolide is that two meteors will always hit the center and the rest will hit outer areas.

Bolide is one of few spells that will damage golems significantly because it has strong physical impact damage in addition to fire damage. So, if you don't want to use high exequy on a golem, bolide is the only other option for sorcerers.

On a normal golem? You can actually gicel them to death also , just takes forever lols.

Yes, on a normal golem. Takes a bit to kill but does do fair damage and also knocks golem off sometimes.

Yeah, it's pretty frustrating to use sometimes. I pretty much only bother with it against really big enemies. I prefer Gicel.

Bolide can miss a lot from time to time, but it can be cast from a safe distance, and even without line of sight. It does good damage that just gets better and better. When you're high leveled and geared, it just obliterates what it hits.

Seism I haven't used as much. It's powerful but is more dangerous to use since you have to be close. However magic resistant enemies, or just enemies you don't have a good spell for generally take good damage from it and it has a high chance of stagger and knocking down even the biggest enemies. I've stunlocked enemies to death with it before.

They all have their place, you just have to get a feel for them.
