I am not sure with "sunflare" as a ultimate spell for Lorien, and even with sunflare as a ultimate spell for good faction.
When Elves were divided, flood was moved to Imladris (and Last alliance spell was innovation) and Lorien received sunflare (and tears of Valar was innovation there).
I really don't know, but I personally don't like sunflare since vanilla game. Why?
1) Why sunflare when there is another and more suitable connection to sun - well known "cloud break"
2) Why elves are using sun in order to cause fire? Lorien and Woodland realm are in the deep forests. Why they want to use sun in order to cause fire? It doesn't make sence.
Elves aren't offensive and mainly use fire in their realms is suicide.
Silvan elves prefer moonlight and sindar pure light, but definitely not such exaggeration.
3) Technical aspect - animation, I really don't know but animation is strange for me. And it always remind me known bug with burning mad drummer troll from vanilla game.
Overall, I think that that Gorthaur has nice implementation of this spell, so I want to say that it seems more like evil spell than spell for some good faction.
So my famous question is - are we able to invent something more suitable? For instance tears of Valar fits perfectly for Lorien and it's really nice ultimate spell.
I think that we should think this way:
Many ultimate spells reflect iconic heroes or their abilities. For instance:
Aragorn's oathbreakers - Army of dead
Elrond's flood - Massive flood
Saruman as a skilfull pyrotechnist - Mines or Saruman as a lord of Isengard - Isengard unleashed
Necromancer - Gorthaur
etc. ...
So some demonstration of Gladys, Golden forest of Lorien, which can't be attacked, or we should take into account that spell tears of Valar demonstrates Lorien and second spell deserves some Mirkwood connection?
Some time ago we've talked with Tienety about it and we have some suggestion with army of eagles - for instance Gwaihir and four eagles like in the Botfa, but it would be quite useless, because eagles will have usual place in the spellbook + there is flying Radagast and many players would say that it's op and many players will say that it's useless because eagles are useless either way.
So what do you think about it?
