Construct of Order...?

[Mac]

<div></div>Just hit lvl32 and started messing with this spell. Anyone know if it's worth it or not? I was testing it on lvl27ish ^^^ giants in TS and it didn't seem to be doing much at all. (Although it was App1.)<div></div>

<div>When I was 30/31, I got lucky and found a M1 of this spell in ROV. Upgrade it to Ad1 at least - Construct is one of your most damaging spells.</div>

<div></div>Upto what level can I use this?

The construct is an excellent damage spell for long fights.  It's also effective at holding aggro, although it doesn't have many hit points.  Definitely upgrade your construct. Tips on using your construct:-- Above all, remember that the longer the construct is alive and fighting, the more damage it does.  It's really disappointing to cast the construct and see it die five seconds later-- While soloing solo mobs, start with your construct, then send in your personae, then start your DPS spells.  You can see aggro start with you, immediately switch to the construct, eventually switch to the personae, then switch to you.  If the construct is getting killed too quickly, either engage the personae when the mob is in melee range or engage the personae first.  This will allow the mob to switch aggro from the construct to the personae earlier.-- When fighting solo grouped mobs, I'll toss my construct on one, my pet on the second, toss 1-3 DoT's/DD's on the third, then start the AoE spells.  By waiting a little bit on the AoE spells, the pets hold aggro a little longer-- When fighting grouped mobs with a good AoE group, don't even bother with the construct.  Your group will burn the mobs down too quickly.-- When fighting grouped mobs with a high single-target DPS group, send the construct on one of the secondary mobs.  Ideally, your main tank works the adds in some order, and you can pick the last mob the main tank will target.  The construct won't steel aggro from the main tank.-- When fighting heroic mobs solo, wait on casting your construct until your personae engages.  Otherwise the heroic mob will kill the construct in 1-3 hits.  Then use stuns/Illusory Allies to keep aggro off your personae.Sadari66 IllusionistMistmoore<div></div>

<div></div>I look for m1 reason allllll the time. And I have never seen it on the broker.....seems to be rare on crushbone for some reason.

<div></div><div>I keep hearing people say, "Interrupts" and "AoE damage spells." I can't help but notice those are both plural, yet I only have one AoE DoT and one interrupt, and it's the same spell. I assume I get more AoE damage options and interrupts later?</div><div> </div><div><3</div>

<div>You'll get Color Shower (another AE DoT) at level 50. It's quite a good spell. As for interrupts, you might be thinking of all the stuns and stifles instead.</div>

When you upgrade it at Adept or Master, does it last longer?

[Banditman]

Stuns are "interrupts".Stifles are "interrupts".A Mez is an "interrupt".Interrupt is a rather loose term for an Illusionist.  We can "interrupt" a caster in a variety of ways.<div></div>

Stuns/Stifles/Mezes are NOT interrupts. If somebody is casting a long cast spell, and you mez/stun/stifle them, they will continue to cast their spell, however it will not go off, if they are still stuned/stifled/mezed when it ends. However, if they aren't at the end of the spell's cast time, it will go off.

[Banditman]

I have never seen a situation where a Stifle or Stun failed to act as an interrupt.Your mileage may vary.Mine hasn't.<div></div>

I'm pretty sure its a Master II choice at 34, I went with it already having masters in some of the other choices - you will def notice the difference - but basically it's just a fancy DoT.... <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><p>Message Edited by ximo on <span class=date_text>09-19-2006</span> <span class=time_text>09:32 PM</span>

Wow - without that last post I don't think this thread would have any good information in it.<div></div>

Please remain civil to each other.

Forum mod comments a week after the flame posts, lol.Better late then never, I guess.

[Scarrlette]

Yeah..it was just reported.  I can't read ALL the posts!  You guys are suppose to inform me!

[Rayvne2]

<blockquote><hr>Scarrlette wrote:Yeah..it was just reported.  I can't read ALL the posts!  You guys are suppose to inform me!<hr></blockquote>If that was enough to warrant a comment I hate to think what you mods discuss regarding the PvP server boards.Probably something like, "I feel like I need a shower. I just had to moderate the PvP boards."

Yeah, Coercers can cast their mez even while stunned/mezzed.

Mobs in Niz can still cast AE whilst mezzed so i guess thats a case of and interupt not stopping a mob from casting
