Level 30 fun spell?

[Donte]

<DIV>What is it?  Is it lame like Faith respect? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Our warden turns into a Deer.......ROFL  </DIV>

<DIV>The spell Is Blessing: blesses the target, ALL it does is cause a little stream of light to spiral up your target.....it lasts for all of .5 seconds and is a waste of time.  If you want to see your target glow you should heal or buff them. I'd say don't waste your money on this spell....but I figure most people will buy it anyways just to see.  This spell is less fun than faith respect, and boy we know how fun that is<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.</DIV>

[Donte]

<DIV>:smileysad:  /whine coming............Man we got the short end of the stick.   You do know Warden wolf form has bonuses, they nuke harder and have invis right?  But hey, you will bow to me(if you are lower level and not moving or sitting that is)!   joy</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>It beats Level35 Detect Evil... which does... absolutely nothing.</DIV>

[Protoso]

<DIV>I'm just hoping that the devs all of a sudden realize "Holy crap, these spells arent fun at all". Then give us a spell that makes our entire group bow to us at the same time, then dance, then blesses them over and over again, dance, bow, glow, dance, bow, glow, repeat......we will call it 'Holy Seizure'.    Of course ,then we will be able to summon a horse , a bag full of gold, a barrel of whiskey,and our Holy Acolyte will become a certified massage therapist.   Then we can rest easy at night knowing that all of our fluff fun spells make us smile everytime we use them.  </DIV>

<DIV> <DIV>:smileysad:  Sad that our "fun" spell suck so bad.  From what I've seen, most all the other classes get something that is atleast cool or useful at one point or another, the warden's spell that gives better nukes, invis, gonna leave the pally/sk thing alone, etc.  I know that not everyone can have cool toys, but its pretty sad that all of ours are not only useless but pretty stupid.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I just hope that our atocolite can be used like the rogue rats.  If things go south and that lil bastage will hold the mob for both seconds of his life, thats enough for me to get that much farther away.  Once safe, return, rez and summon another sacraficial lamb.  IF he's atleast that useful, then that'll likely be the ONLY fun spell that I buy... unless they change some...faith seisure would be funny.  :smileytongue:</DIV></DIV>

<DIV>afaik = As far as I know</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>        Our fun spells are lame, there's no question about it, but there's no reason for that to overlap into class-related spells, like wolf form, invisibility, etc. Some mystics are appalled at Deer form, and the Reeeeeeeee! Reeeeeeeee! noises they make when attacking, and to be quite honest, I'm not sure if being a bloodthirsty Bambi would excite me either. Our Faith Respect is <EM>ok, </EM>our Blessing and Detect Evil, while good ideas, don't even animate for 90% of people. Create Holy Symbol works perfectly well, as does Holy Acolyte. So we're 2 good, 2 bad, 1 neutral on "fun" spells. </DIV> <DIV>         Also, where exactly did this "fun" spell label come from. When I right-click and inspect Blessing, it says nowhere on there that it should heighten my enjoyment of the game, or make me giggle. Yes, it sucks to have spells that don't work, but the label, "fun" isn't fair - "flavor", is a much better word, as these spells are meant to make our character fill the image the game has decided a Templar should follow.</DIV>

Auria, seeing as your character is female...is your acolyte also female, or did you get a male follower?

[Auria]

<DIV>            Actually, I've gotten a few PMs about Acolytes, and so will be doing a spoiler post as soon as I figure out how to insert pictures into a post. (If anyone knows how, PM me please!) But for now, Acolytes are random sex, random physical attributes besides height and race (always really tall and High Elf). They always wear the same clothes (a blue and white robe). Anyway, enough rambling, I'll go into more detail in a later post. (But seriously, I'm a forum noob, if anyone can help with the picture aspect, that'd be great <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> )</DIV>

I'm sorry Donte, I misunderstood you concerning fun spells <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />The bonuses of wolf form are great (AC, HP, power, see invis), but we don't wear plate armor like templars <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> concerning the form, hmmm well, if you read the warden forum, we're all trying to get a solution to get the buff aspect without the form <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> (someone found a solution yay!).

<DIV>I love this game, but they really dropped the ball with our fun spell.  I used it once, with permission from a friend just to see what it did.  I've been in groups where templars, dirges, coercers spam their fun spells, and personally I find it aggravating.  I wish they'd remove these spells altogether and replace them with something else.</DIV>
