Teach me about school

Hi all, just a quickie, Mako's patron power, School of sharks says you must be near the ground. My toon, for concept reasons, only flies, can i be near the ground and fire it off or do i have to be touching? The other option is Spirit shark, is it any good?

thanks in advance

Sharks

Old video. Spirit shark - single target, damage and knockback (the latter, IIRC, makes it somewhat popular in PVP, or did.)

For the hover, not sure. I'll check and edit with an answer.

Edit: I can actually hover up a good ways and still use school of sharks. (near the roof of a 2 story warehouse, attacking things on the ground.) This is, of course, the brute version.

Now i'm torn, torn, torn. Thanks Bill for your info. School looks much cooler but i already have Web Grenade. I'm a SoA, so am guessing i have the Brute version. My Ranged defense is high, so i want to keep the creeps off my back but the only buggers who grief me are flyers and then again flyers are not off the ground either as the power suggest they should be.

I appreciate your time to answer mate.

Hi, i'm just answering my own question to help those who may need the answer. I took School of Sharks and can hover directly above foes and fire it off at any height, so long as it's within the power's range. I haven't played around with range yet but it seems good and the animation is great! It's a slowish cast time, so bear that in mind.

Targeting flying foes is a different matter however, low flying Mu's are ok but anything much above the ground you get a message saying 'target is in the air' and won't fire.

I like the power, it's an immobilize with neg energy damage over time, has no kb protection but the animation is so interesting it makes up for it.

If you take it, i hope you enjoy it.
