question about opals and lvl 30 trainings

[Lodor]

<DIV>I was wondering how well opals stacks with the higher up pet buffs from the agitation spell line and will it still be usefull at higher lvles.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also how does the lvl 30 training corpseskin stack with all these buffs and does it grow all the way to level 50 and remain usefull like the lvl 10 training camturs.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have opals and have been considering getting corpseskin at 30 since ill have adept 3 rats by then so the need for the dogs trainer spell isnt really needed.</DIV>

<DIV>Corpseskin is updated at 38 or 39, I think, with Words of the Wicked.  I don't completely understand the Corpseskin spell though, it wards the pet.  How does that work on a permanent buff?  Does it ward for a specified amount and then the buff drops? Or does the ward part regenerate in between combat?  If you have another pet buff on the pet which allows regeneration does the pet recieve regeneration AND the ward? ect.</DIV>

[Lodor]

<P>Im guessing the ward would refresh at a set time like how agitation regens every 10s the ward on the trainer buff may refresh every 30s or something of the sort.</P> <P>Its why i am asking here about it since i want to be able to better judge if its worth taking or not since there is no real info about it anywhere here or the so called necro faq above.</P>

<P>Dont take it personal by what I said.</P> <P>I call it a "so called faq" because it doesnt house all the info related to the class it represents.  It isnt your fault noone has a clue about all the training choices but untill it covers those in my eyes atleast its a "so called faq of uncompleteness".</P>

It is by no means a comprehensive list of everything having to do with a subject. It is only a list of...you guessed it... Frequently Asked Questions, not every single question you can ask or has been asked...just a list of what can be answered. If you want a comprehensive list of all things necro-ness as opposed a FAQ...I encourage you to write your own rather than taking potshots at someone else who did take the time to write a very good 'so called' FAQ. Sorry about being blunt, but your attitude came off as rude and condescending, and you should re-think your posts.</span><div></div>

<DIV>Thanks for the one starring since someone couldnt handle a hard truth.</DIV>

In response to the question in one of the earlier posts in this thread: Yes the ward regenerates. I have this training option and specifically tried it out. The amount it regenerates isn't spectacular (something in the order of 20-ish per 2 or 3 seconds (little bit hard to determine exactly). The benefit is of course that since it's a different effect, if you have a buff with a heal-over time and this one, you pet is both healed and warded over time. plus in between combats if you recast corpseskin I think it has the full ward again. Not too bad for a quick cast. <div></div>

<P>El Chupacabras... don't even sweat it bro, there is one in every crowd.  We all appreciate your input, and without help from people like you, many of us would be lost.</P> <P><BR> </P>

<DIV>Fun, more one star banditry from some anon fool.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As for the one above this post, "theres one in every crowd".</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The faq has alot to it but it doesnt cover alot of other stuff. So I explained why i said what i did. If people cant handle my opinion then they need to take a step back for awhile.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And thanks silverdrop for the information on it regenerating even if it seems like a small amount.  Its enough of a reason to stack it with the other buffs instead of taking the caster pet or dog swarm.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Lodor on <span class=date_text>05-24-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:16 AM</span>

<P>I took the pet buff at 30. I really don't regret it. It has the same recast time as agitation and makes my Shadowy Stalker or FH seem noticably stronger and health regen faster. I can see a bigger difference in FH. It is a great buff imo.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P>Rusttin Blackheart</P> <P>34th Necromancer</P> <P>Brothers in Arms</P> <P>Mistmoore server </P>

<DIV>Well I figure the more unique parts of opals and the 30 trainer buff would work nicely with the other buff upgrades all the way to 50 where-as the other trainer spells end up dying out before 50 to other stuff.</DIV>

[Psyrus2]

<DIV>It wasn't anon...I gave you 1 star because you are acting like an @ssh0le.  You come in and criticize people who took a LOT of their own time to help others by providing a LOT of info.  How much have you contributed here?  Don't throw stones if it bothers you getting a poor rating.  It's all in how you present it, and you could have asked the question in a more positive light as to contine to the growth of all necros here, or you can come in with an attitude and get a star.  If you know so much, why even come to the boards and ask questions?  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

“I have opals and have been considering getting corpseskin at 30 since ill have adept 3 rats by then so the need for the dogs trainer spell isn’t really needed.” The Dogs training spell is the best thing that ever happened to my Necro. I have a /respec in reserve, so I will likely change from the Dogs to Corpseskin once I hit 37 (34 atm) and scribe adept III Plague of Rats. I will change from Fallen Hero to Opal’s as well.

<DIV>Obviously you cant handle other peoples opinions and need to learn to stay away from others because of it since your only reaction is always negative to it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>One star me all you want since it doesnt mean anything and you admitting you are doing it regarding this issue shows what kind of person you are to everyone else here.</DIV>

[Psyrus2]

What kind of a person am I Lodor?  I one star'ed a jerk who took a cheap shot at one of our biggest contributors.  I can handle opinions, but I do not tolerate ones who throw stones when they have done absolutely nothing to aid to what ever the cause.  I'm in customer service, trust me son, I can tolerate opinions.  The only people I have found in that past that I need to seperate from are...well people like you.  Fact of the matter is people like you expect every thing to go exactly the way you want it.  When that does not happen you get angry and lash out at people who don't deserve it.  In the end, none of this matters, but take a good look at RL situations, and ask yourself...maybe its me.  That should fix a LOT of problems for ya <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And if one staring you didnt bother you, you wouldn't have mentioned it 2 different posts on this topic.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
