I don't find Ra to be completely useless. It can kill the mobs and put a strong weakness on the boss. Now if your ONLY goal is to kill everything in one shot, that makes sense, but otherwise Ra can be useful.
#2024 almost over and Ra still sucks 👍🏽

also, the way it's set up now, Ra's damage only path would still be weaker than Power Nova.
they can't swap the quests either, because Ra's quest requires you go to Celestia, which you presumably don't have access to.

New nova
that's a fully spellemented upgraded one, Ra didn't even have that back then, but still, base Power Nova still dealt more, at 665

New nova
Important to note that 7 pip AOEs had a damage penalty removed that is in place for other AOE spells (as noted by devs at the time) which is why they are so much stronger now. Old Nova was much like Ra is now, but had a LOT less damage in exchange for the utility. Personally, I think Ra should feel good to use, but feels good doesn't need to mean one shots bosses. Maybe I just play differently than others, but I don't think that all AOE spells should just be damage upgrades on each other, especially on schools outside of storm.

facts. It's a shame that a lotta this game has become grinding, because if not, we'd play more for fun.

I think the membership model discourages slowing down to enjoy the game and that hurts player experience but that's neither here nor there

would definitely feel better to use if the current path B worked with damage enchants
