Lvl 20 Training, huh?

<DIV><STRONG>Defiler (Level 20)</STRONG></DIV> <UL> <LI>Drandamir's Draining Fog - An advanced form of Wailing Haze. As a bonus to Wailing Haze it decreases melee damage capability. <LI>Tierbold's Pestilent Miasma - An advanced form of Contagion. As a bonus to Contagion it reduces stamina and intelligence. <LI>Everling's Cadaverous Ward - An advanced form of Spectral Ward. As a bonus to Spectral Ward it increases Noxious mitigation. <LI>Yagwai's Umbral Chant - An advanced form of Mending Spirit. As a bonus to Mending Spirit it targets the entire group instead of one group member.</LI></UL> <P>Hmm...At 23 I don't even use wailing haze + contagion anymore (Degeneration + Contamination).  Should I be? Why would they update spells you'll be replacing very soon. </P> <P>And all the things they could have done with ward they went with...noxious mitigation?</P> <P> </P>

<DIV>I chose Everling's ward, after using it for about an hour , i felt like its slightly better than spectral ward (ie. absorbs slightly more dmg. )</DIV><p>Message Edited by Ozturk on <span class=date_text>01-06-2005</span> <span class=time_text>01:27 PM</span>

<DIV>Better in comparison to what version of spectral ward?  I have spectral ward adept 3, just wondering how it compared.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

<DIV>I wonder if the wailing haze would be allowed to be cast on higher level mobs and stack with degeneration though...I hate being a guineau pig heh.</DIV>

I have adept 3 Spec Ward and chose the Lvl 20 ward; I would say they both absorb ABOUT the same damage, while the training ward gives you +nox Mitig. IIRC. Can't wait til 26 when we get our THIRD ward that does stack with the other 2. It's a good day to be defiler!

<DIV>Tested out the new 20 training cadaverous ward and for me (lvl 21) it absorbs 457 damage which was a ok upgrade from the ap3 version I had before.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Does anyone have the numbers of what the ad3 spectral ward absorbs?  It figuers, right after I got the new training ward I mined a silver so I can make a ad3 now.  I assume its prob not worth it to upgrade new ward I got so might go with contagion.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Omegarhino on <span class=date_text>01-07-2005</span> <span class=time_text>10:21 AM</span>

<DIV>Ah, it's slightly better in comparison to app3 spectral ward</DIV>

<DIV>I was fighting a group of arrow down greens and one arrow up gree in the commonlands lat night.  I was testing out this new ward Someone's Cadaverous Ward.  Well, in my testing, I noticed that it seemed to be absorbing different ammounts of damage each hit.  This is odd as normally, a ward absorbs the mob's max dmg instantly instead a randomized number.  Can anyone else confirm this?</DIV>

My Adept 3 Spectral Ward has to absorb AT LEAST 600 damage at lvl 23.

I hope this means I'll be able to use it for longer, and that it will stack with Degeneration (I'd be happy if I just got the lower melee damage from Draining Fog, and the reduced attack speed didn't combine with that from Degeneration). They do both show simultaneously in the maintained spells window.

darining fog and degeneration both use same recast timer so cant be used together.good news is yes it lands on higher level mobs i use it now on level 34 mobs and it lands

[tryff]

<DIV>I still use everlings Cadaverous ward at 33 its green to me now. The issue with our high level wards still prevents me to use Spectral Guard as my main ward.</DIV> <DIV>But the ward just barely keeps me floating nowdays when fighting lev 35 mobs. And the agility "nerf" and boost on mobs 30+ is definately hurting me now.</DIV> <DIV>It is not with pleasure i take Main heal role anymore when the MT is plate tank. </DIV> <DIV>Although we are a wicked backup healer and it is usually there I am feeling comfortable and feeling that i am actually doing really good.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Well to make a long story short, i am very happy with Everlings ward but i have no numbers how much its absorbing compared to spectral ward adept III</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>/Tryffel 33 Troll Defiler</DIV>
