I have been trying to use this spell of late..
It is very useless.. out of 10 times cast on a mob lvl 45.. it works
about 0 times.. This is a spell that could really use an upgrade.
Also power word kill seems a bit out of balance.. a invoker should have a chance at pwk a mob 10 levels lower than he.. but it doesn't happen.

I seem to remember being told a long time ago that all the power word stuff was based on the current hps of the mobs (apparently except for pwb).
So your average lvl 50 player has like 700 hps, your average lvl 50 mob has about 30000.
I don't have any char that has pwk/pws so I can't test it, but you might wanna try casting it at various stages of 'woundedness' when fighting a lvl 50 mob when their hps are lower.

Power Word Stun works very nicely in the arena for invokers against all levels and classes of players, lands easily and has almost zero casting time.
Power Word Stun is utterly useless outside of the arena for Invokers. In order for it to be turned into something useful that landed, it would have to acquire some form of a real casting time, which would therefor make it useless in the arena.
In summary, this is a great and beneficial spell needed the way it is for Invokers in the arena, and should not to be changed because invokers have 2 other effective ways of stopping mobs from casting (t-blast for area, and sand for single). I keep this spell scribed, and mem it only when playing in the arena.
Power Word Kill. This spell has appear to be broken or effectively useless in or outside of the arena. I personally cannot remember seeing it ever work once. Perhaps it has, but I seriously don't remember. I do not scribe this spell.
In summary, I feel this spell should be removed from player selection all together, and given only to mobs, whereupon an upgrade to the spell could be done. Last thing I feel Player inovkers need is an assassinate-LIKE spell.
My toof cents

woot thanks for fast response:)
Ideas:
pwk- since i dont forsee giving vokers instant cast assinate maybe it could be made into area with level cap 1/2 of vokers level-would wipe same mobs as inferno (split shield mobs more or less) does just with lag after cast not before. would be good just for align work pretty much with no real use when zoning.
pws- hurm thats a tough one not to go into spook area. not an option to make it area with level 1/2cap since mobs of that level dont cast anything harmful. maybe allow it to interrupt(not stun) a spell being cast. a bit like miscast magic works when it actually works.

All of the power word line should have a chance to backfire and strike the caster. Stun, kill and blind.
