Haruspex, Empathic Link, and Sybillant STILL broken?

[Karde Shar]

<DIV>Has anyone ever seen these spells work...ever?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My group tried out Sybillant last night fighitng a low green mob.  Tank just taunted and we waited 5 minutes of that mob swinging at my tank for the spell to trigger.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I've never seen either 3 of these spells work.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Help.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And I hate to look over the fence, but the Illusionists certainly seem to have it MUCH better then Coercer's.  We traded offense for defense, yet here's 3 spells that are dysfunctional.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And who knows if Annoying Demeanor actually does anything.  We may never know.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Very frustrated.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Karde Level 38 Coercer</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Actually why you wanted to use those spells in first hand? If you have shortage of toughtstones just use Despotic Mind more often....</DIV> <DIV>Annoing Damenator<STRONG> subjectively </STRONG>indeed improve agro on MT</DIV>

<DIV>I can affirm that Haruspex does indeed work.  It deals ~180 damage or so at Adept 1.</DIV> <DIV>The problem you may be facing is that, at App 1, there is a fairly low chance for it to actually 'proc'.  In addition, mobs tend to die so fast that it may never get enough swings off to actually land many blows on your tank.</DIV> <DIV>Why use it?  Well, with our bugged level 50 AE, our AE damage is rather anemic.  Haruspex helps out in that regard, although the 45 seconds recharge time means you'll never been up there with true AE casters.</DIV>
