Pumice Stone and Manashield

[Brimestar]

Is it just me, but every time I pumice stone a mage with manashield on (and the stone lands) the manashield is still there...

Maybe his point was that Pumice Stone is underpowered....  <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/385970365b8ed7503b4294502a458efa.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

I've noticed it works about 50% of the time. Lucky for me I'm a druid and can serene symbol AA it off if Pumice fails.

<p>The last 2 times i got pumised my mana shield went bye bye, last time i used it on a mage it went bye bye.</p><p>Sometime it works, sometimes it doesnt live with it!!!</p>

I've stopped buying it. Either it's resisted or it takes off a big pile of useless rubbish.

Guess what... every time I used pumice stone on a swashy it left all of their buffs and poisons on.</p>

<p>Awesome, I bring up the fact that Pumice stone doesn't remove scout poisons and non-bard buffs and you stopped crying about manashield not getting removed every once in a while.</p><p>Please FIX pumice stone so it removes something from brigands, swashbucklers, rangers and assassins other than their temp buffs. If they can use pumice stone to remove 90% of mage/priest/bard buffs then why should they go untouched by the item?  Poisons cost a few silver to replace and don't effect the outcome of a fight as much as removing abilities that cost many achievement points to obtain.</p>

Are you using T1 handcrafted poisons on your ranger?
