"When the sky was torn from the sea, Storm Crow appeared from within the thundering clouds to grant mankind dominion over the living flame." —Legends of the Forgotten World

Storm Crow

The Storm Crow is a Wizard hat that unites two effects: it boosts the damage of your Lightning skills and additionally has a chance to hurl a fiery ball when you attack. So you get a reliable damage bonus for one specific element on the one hand, and a playful random effect on top that deals extra Fire damage on the side.

For serious builds the real value clearly lies in the Lightning damage bonus, while the fiery ball is more of a nice ornament. Tip: use the hat in a Lightning-focused Wizard build so the percentage bonus applies fully - in a Fire or Arcane build you give away its main advantage. As a transitional piece while levelling or in casual speed setups, the Storm Crow offers solid stats before you swap it for a specialized set hat.

A wide roll range for the fireball

The chance for the fiery ball rolls between 20–40%. That is an unusually wide spread: a hat at the top end triggers twice as often as one at the bottom. The power text doesn't state how much damage the ball deals. Since the power is tied to your attacks, it gets more opportunities the more often you attack. A primal ancient copy carries the full 40%.

The hat's properties

Lightning skills deal 15–20% more damage is fixed - the value that makes the hat interesting for Lightning Wizards. A primary attribute rolls at 626–750; since only the Wizard can wear the hat, only Intelligence counts here. Land Strength or Dexterity and it is a clear case for the Mystic.

Storm and flame

The flavor text comes from the Legends of the Forgotten World: when the sky was torn from the sea, Storm Crow appeared from within the thundering clouds to grant mankind dominion over the living flame. The hat carries exactly that mix - a bonus to Lightning, plus a ball of fire.
