Two Questions

[KindredHeart]

<DIV>1.  What the heck does the Shadowy Attendant do now other than sit there and look ghostly?  Perhaps I have some kind of spell message turned off and am missing the message so I thought I'd ask to make sure - but I see no heals, no buffs, no effects of any kind coming from it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2.  I thought I remembered seeing a patch or combat revamp message somewhere along the way that said Mystics would have a summon component to their AE rezz.  However, I'm not seeing it so far.  Is this in a 50+ level spell or what?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thank you in advance.</DIV>

As far as I can see he has only two effects on the group. First, on the rare occassion that I cast him, he wakes everyone up.  "What the heck was that?"  So he is good when everyone is feeling tired and needs a novelty. Second, he is good for comic relief.  "Hey man, your pet keeps sniffing you - HAHAHA"  But so far that seems to be about it. </span><div></div>

For the rest of the duration he does nothing at all. On the last day of beta I was playing with Umbral Attendant while dueling a Warden friend, and it seemed to rock. It meleed about as well as I did, and had a very decent hp regen to it the whole time it was up. I don't understand why it was made to be kinda cool in beta then ripped back into uselessness as soon as the changes went live.</font> </div> <div> </div> <div>2.  I thought I remembered seeing a patch or combat revamp message somewhere along the way that said Mystics would have a summon component to their AE rezz.  However, I'm not seeing it so far.  Is this in a 50+ level spell or what? <font color="#6699ff">This didn't seem to make it live either, for whatever reason. I had very limited experience with group rezzing on test, but I believe it worked one time. Perhaps it was too buggy or sploitable to keep in game /shrug.</font> </div> <div> </div> <div>Thank you in advance.</div><hr></blockquote></span><div></div>

Thanks for the input I really appreciate it.  So, does anyone think we should be reporting our little shadowy friend as being bugged?

To what end? They haven't fixed him in 11 months.  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>The badger seems to be working again, he was healing for 130ish last night every couple of seconds until he expired. Only thing is now he is rooted, as some time back he would actually follow you.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I just wish his recast timer was shorter as he is a handy aoe healer.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<P>I noticed he was working also last night. I was getting the healing messages for me, but not if he was healing the group or not, However in 3rd person view I did see the green heal amounts above the group members when he was casted. <BR><BR>The badger also seemed power efficent for the amount of healing. I dont have hard numbers but my power bar hardly moved when I casted him.  I was MH in a 3 man group in silent city and I had no problem at all with wards,slows and my badger.  IMO group wise I am very pleased with the healing changes.</P> <P>Mishra<BR>51 Mystic<BR>Mob Squad, Kithicor</P> <P><SPAN class=time_text></SPAN> </P> <P>Message Edited by DobermanChampion on <SPAN class=date_text>09-27-2005</SPAN> <SPAN class=time_text>11:30 AM</SPAN></P><p>Message Edited by DobermanChampion on <span class=date_text>09-27-2005</span> <span class=time_text>11:31 AM</span>

<P>Yeah I could be wrong on the aoe thing, I am positive he used to aoe its heal long ago but that may have changed. I am just glad its working again.</P> <P> </P>

[KindredHeart]

<P>Now if I could just get SOE to make it so he shows up behind me instead of in front of me when I cast him that would be wonderful.  As it is I turn off melle, turn around (away from the mob and other group members) to cast it so he's not in the way.  Only takes a quick second, but it's still very very annoying.</P> <P>Thanks again everyone for the replies.</P>
