Ancient Balm

[luder118]

<p>as we are coming close to level 80s i'm woundering what the plan is for ancient balm</p><p>currently the adp3 version cures upto level 81, does anyone know if they plan to expand on this or do i have to invest in the master in order to continue to have the spell usable for end game content.  i find the ability very usefull and would hate to lose the usability of it as an end game raider.  any info as to the plans for this from SOE would be helpfull, so far i havent found anything about this in particular.</p>

<p>Wouldn't it be great if in the spell consolidation they are going to do they consolidated Ancient Balm into our group cure noxious/disease spell!!! We could cure a whole group of most, if not all of their ailments with one spell. With this great ability, the reuse timer would need to stay as it is with the group cure. </p>

<p>Devs have said somewhere (can't remember where at this point) that some of the ancient spells would either be getting upgrades in the upcoming expansion or be changed to scale or something.</p><p>I'd guess stuff like ancient balm, torpor (oh I hope torpor) and the other ancients like that would be seeing some thing that makes them useful in Kunark. Especially since there are others that aren't going to lose any value at all.</p>
