Pat yourself on the backs soe, but dont pop the corks off the champange just yet,NEW sk issues.

[Rylight]

<DIV>Good job soe, I personally thank you for fixing my sorrow and swarming spirits, however you still are not out of the red yet. I know it takes time to fix these issues, especially with a butt load of other classes that have thier fair share of problems, its even worst when your job is to read and reply to post that are just senseless rants and eternal complaining. WE should be helping to fix the problem instead of just wasting your time. and with that said, I am starting a this post to compose some NEW sk broken spells/skills that should be looked into</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>NOTE: THIS IS NOT A POST TO COMPLIAN THAT SK's ARE UNDERPOWERED, CANT HOLD AGGRO WELL,  NEED A BETTER HORSE, OR PAINBRINGER RARELY LANDS (whoops personal <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> )...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>ONLY RESPONSES THAT STATE A PROBLEM THAT IS CLEARLY WRONG WITH SPELLS/SKILLS SHOULD BE STATED HERE?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>ex :  swarming spirits said it was supposed to have a life tap proc, yet it didnt, that was a clear problem. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>honeslty I am only so high in level and have forgotten what spells are broken myself, but for those of you who do know, <STRONG>please</STRONG> post something that you can clearly back up. I feel this is the only way we can get our class up to their full potential in a quick amount of time</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have noticed</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1.<STRONG> tainted caress</STRONG> ( i think it is) is supposed to cast harm touch says its description?? its clearly not supposed to do that, and should be re-written ( or maybe just cast harm touch, lol)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2. <STRONG>Draw strength</STRONG> does not stack at all, which makes its description of giving us strength a lie. I know it will work if our self buffs such as contract of shadows or unholy aura is not on, but honestly what sk wouldnt have it on?? I think since we take the power to use it, it should  give us the strength it says it will give us (  honeslty this isnt one of my better examples) I also realize that it us being changed somewhat with this upcoming patch, so it might have already been fixed??</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>have anymore?? post them!!</DIV>

the casts harm touch i believe is simply the emote you get when tainted/cursed caress procs? thoa  damage portion to the spell would reall yrock, it does say you cast a damage spell when you cast it, mebbe its been broken al this time too =)

<DIV>shadowknights buffs do not stack on tank with other buff. IE calulated evasion. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is a big problem, making the spell essentially useless. </DIV>

I agree for some spells this is ok like our self buffs that are already cast on the whoe group,( call to arms, unholy aura, etc). but <STRONG>when one sk uses grim/vile coil I cant use mine</STRONG>, and that just doesnt make since. it may be the same dot, but its two different individuals using it. also I think this goes the same way with <STRONG>painbringer,</STRONG> which is unfair because its not so much as a buff then a damage dealing and healing spell ( even though it does drain strength). Last but not least I think <STRONG>draw strength does not stack with another sk's draw strength</STRONG>, and I dont see why we couldnt both weaken the mob. maybe the devs planned it that way, or maybe they just overlooked it, either way I would like explanation on this matter, maybe I just overlooked something??</P>

Tainted Sacrament is another spell that doesn't stack. I want to get my pet out too!
