Does skele form provide bonuses?

[BadDemocracy]

If so, does it need to be on all the time? Will I always be staring at a skele model when fighting? <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>Lucans Pact lists what it gives you if you examine the spell Icon, and yes it does add defensive bonuses, I usually keep it on most of the time, but some clerics request I take it off because they dont like the cackle or we are fighting skeletons and they want it as easy as possible to pick me out of a crowd.</DIV>

<DIV>Yes it does need to be kept on. I'd love it if it was an armoured skeleton, looking all corroded etc, but hey that just cosmetic....and yes the cackle is bloody annoying!</DIV>

They need to add spell avoidance to Lucans to make it a better choice. The half-broken skeleton form us not worth it over Zarns.

<DIV>Agreed, just upgraded my Lucan's to Adept 1 and I still use Zarn's Deadly Aura at 35</DIV>

I use Lucan's adept I as it does not impact slashing...

Its adds 7 ac, 300-450 poison resist. But reduces your effectiveness with crushing and piercing damage. For me...its not worth the annoyence of the spam..7ac.

<DIV>Here's my question: is Lucan's Pact supposed to actually make Knight's Stance obsolete, or is it just an alterantive?  I often find the effects of my Adept 1 Knight's Stance preferable over Adept 1 Lucan's Pact, but most other Shadowknights seem to only use Lucan's Pact.  BTW, I didn't choose Zarn's Deadly Aura, so its not an option. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>
