Curious, does the AE next to group buff's mean they affect raids as well? <div></div>

[Handleba]

I don't know. <div></div>

handlebars - as ever, good work <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

<DIV>Handelbars some of the pics I sent you have some masters in there that weren't on your website, such as Lich, Torrential Plague, and Siphon Life.</DIV>

why does the upgrade to terror increase resist chance by 20% but terror itself decreases resist chance by 39%.  wonder if that changes with upgrades to the spell or if they just made a mistake. <div></div>

<DIV>Thanks for the work getting them up there so we can see.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm thoroughly depressed about them though.  NOTHING new that steps outside of the box and that isn't just simply an upgrade from a spell we already have.  Very very disappointing. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>They must have used up their creativity for the combat revamp.  Hopefully that will keep it fresh, but ...very dissapointing.  </DIV>

[quamdar]

<div></div>thanks eirgorn, i didn't know really what upgrades to fear really did though i used to just think they let you hit the mob more before the fear broke didn't know about the resist chance decrease getting better. <div></div><p>Message Edited by quamdar on <span class=date_text>08-24-2005</span> <span class=time_text>11:56 AM</span>

<DIV>Am I missing something here?  Did you remove the meat of this post Handlebars?</DIV>

[Wiseman160]

<P>Am I to understand that we get another rotting thrall?</P> <P>Why not change the pet for the post 50 necromancer?</P>

<BLOCKQUOTE><edit took out quote because it didnt really fit - sorry></BLOCKQUOTE> <P>I think they will keep the basic pets at the intervals they are now, and have all of them look the same with the exception of masters.  This is purely my speculation though.  Like the M1 GT is a lamia, I expect they may make the masters of new pets something neat, but leave the app and adept versions plain old zombies and shadows and skeles.</P> <P><BR>Not wanting to derail too much, but I have seen some concern on this forum and many other forums as well, that SOE is cookie cutting the previous spells and giving them different names.  This has alot of people disappointed in the expansion, but I though that most people were expecting this.</P> <P>This is basically how it is in the first 50 levels, with the exceptions near the beginning due to class and subclass spells.  but from 20 on, all spells cycle every 14 levels and you really dont get many "new" spells.  I think this is the plan and it will stay this way throughout the expansions.  Each tier will cycle the "core" spells, and then I expect to get one or two new spells for every 10 levels.</P> <P>Like we didnt get a fear spell til 38, or a lich spell till 50, or siphon life till 45.  I know they are filling in some spells with the revamp so you get them earlier, but for the most part things are going to seem repetitive.  </P> <P>Bascally I think we shoud expect to only see a couple "new" spells each tier, and then maybe some fun ones as training options.</P> <P>Thanks.</P> <p>Message Edited by Eirgorn on <span class=date_text>08-24-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:19 AM</span>

didn't notice it before but the new FD says it is 100% up to level 78, that is pretty awesome i think that will be well over anything we fight in the new expansion <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> i would also like to know if (AE) on the buffs means it effects everyone in raid because if so that is a very nice upgrade for us especially with it now adding nearly 50 STA and INT.  seems like out other group buff was somewhat upped too but still not nearly what they are on live it looks like. <div></div>

[Tzen]

<P>Ah thanks Eirgorn.  I'm just blind I guess hehe.</P> <P>VERY nice page there handlebars.</P> <P>Interesting though, some of the spell descriptions differ from what I've seen on other posts.  Your's seem to be more complete though.  Are these all pretty current?</P>

[Handleba]

They were pulled off of Beta last night, so they are the most up-to-date. <div></div>

[Handleba]

A note, many of the spell descriptions and damage descriptions are changing daily. <div></div>

[Eirgo]

<DIV>Handlebars,  I was curious if you still have the old spell list page tucked away somewhere. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I think I remember it still being up a day or two ago along with the new ones, and I was wanting to look at some of the current spells while Im at work to refresh my memory on a couple spells I was going to include in a post.  If not, I completely understand, was just curious.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks for alll you work HB,</DIV>

[Handleba]

I have all of the old spell pics, but not sure if I still have the old page.  I'll make a page with the links to all the old pics if I get a chance today.  Rizaz and I are duoing on test atm trying to take down Gryok.  We killed Ador with no problem but A level 50 Epic x 2 is giving us some trouble <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

[Eirgo]

<P>Hehe well good luck to you two!</P> <P>If you dont have the time, or if it's a pain, I'd say dont bother.</P> <P>Thanks,</P>

[ScarletTea]

Great job man, i cannot wait. <div></div>

It will be used even less if it costs more then 1 concentration. It takes 4 concentration just for the pet + pet buffs..

[quamdar]

i think if it was an actual charm like coercers got that would kick [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] even for 3 conc slots cause we could still put up a stance on it or rending frenzy and group buff.  personally after talking to people on beta necros are pretty awesome but then again that is a warlock saying that so i dunno but looking at our spells i have to agree somewhat that we will kick [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] despite these new spells kind of sucking.  i just wish i could of gotten into beta to try this out for myself. <div></div>

[Handleba]

The rest of the spells will be going up soon.  We do get a new rogue pet at 60. <div></div>

[Handleba]

Its called Nightshade and summons a Nightshade Assassin.  [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] guild trying to raid so having trouble doing both at the same time. <div></div>

[Handleba]

Ok, the rest of the spells are up on my website.  I realize there are some noticable holes such as the level 57 and 58 spells.  I just didn't see them when I was taking screens.  I may have messed up or there are some bugs.  Also, these are taken when I was missing a shard so my INT was way down.  These are just for the flavor. <div></div>

[Romka]

Hm, Siphon Life at 50 and Siphon Vitae at 59? Thats 9 levels difference, nice =)

[Specteral]

Guess I should also mention the screens I took had somewhere in the 150-180 int range, so don't consider the  spells capped. I raided last night, there was another necro in the other group.  No complaints about his buffs poofing, no sign of mine failing, so I'd have to guess they don't stack in raid. We should do an authentic test raid and see, this is just what I noticed between fights..  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

[Leawyn]

no upgrade to grim terror. :smileysad: I know its every 14 levels, but still :smileysad: I expected upgrades to all 3 pets.

[Handleba]

I'm glad there's no upgrade or that plat I spent on Grim Terror master would have been wasted <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

[Leawyn]

how can you say its wasted if you are currently using it and it served you up until this expansion came out? I would understand if grim terror were one of the options on the training thus making the master1 a waste of money (can get the upgrade free) but to say that it was a waste cuz an upgrade eventually comes around after so many levels, thats just silly (IMHO only!) :smileytongue:

If the grim terror got upgraded in the expansion it would have fallen away from the 14 level pet  growth and would have lost its useful life (under ten levels worth) of a major spell line.</span><div></div>

[Handleba]

Well because I'm currently NOT using it because the Rotting Thrall is still much better than the Grim Terror Master 1 until the expansion/combat changes come out.  So it WOULD have been a waste but fortunately it is not because it kicks &*% with the combat revamp. <span>:smileytongue:</span> <div></div>
