View Full Version : Despoiling Mist Casting Spell Icon still NOT there

When we cast Despoiling Mist, there is no icon showed (as draw strength, etc) - this is very annoying - Despoiling Mist is an important spell and I still have no way to tell when the timer runs out - as it is NOT low power consumption, one does not want to guess when recasting it and therefore do it more than needed...Why has this not been fixed yet - you would think it is easy indeed to display an icon upon casting it. Can someone in Beta (or on test) tell us if this has been fixed at all? Thanks. <div></div>

Nope - zero - nada - I have never seen an icon shown on the spell window after casting DM (like the one you see when casting Draw Strengh or Cursed Caress, etc) <div></div>

I do get an icon for DM.  maybe you need to resize your buff bar.  Sometimes, it does some phunky stuff and icons won't show till i resize it.  But neverthelss, DM should be showing an icon on live. <div></div>

Reason its not showing is cause its resisted, it sticks 10 to 15 percent of time at adept 1. Good in theory  like a car that runs on electricity. Works great till you actually use it

could be - however I have adept 3 and check my resists carefully - I see it being resisted but when it's not I see NO icon - once again, I've been using it for months - not something I got recently. Am going to check the mod am using and test without any mod...who knows... <span><blockquote><hr>Xiziz wrote:Reason its not showing is cause its resisted, it sticks 10 to 15 percent of time at adept 1.

10-15% eh? so it sticks one out of every 10 casts? I admit i have a problem landing it on raid mobs but other than that it doesn't resist nearly that much on normal mobs. Maybe adept3 is diffrent <div></div>

I bet you have your maintained spell window off. Hit ALT-M.  You prolly dont see an icon for Wicked Coil either I bet.  The reason you are seeing one for siphon str, is because you are seeing the buff part in your buff window.

Once i maxxed out ordination it has stuck way more often then 10-15%.  More like 80% for me and was ap4. <div></div>

Now, Cursed Caress shows up in the buf window as well - is that because of the debuf caused by this spell? Many thanks. I never bothered having the maintained spell window on as early on I could see most of the icons in the buf window as well...d'oh! <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></span><div></div>

<DIV>Hmm ..I got DM icon every time I cast it when it is not resisted ... Yeah I am on live server ~ </DIV> <DIV>and my ordination is 250 ~ You need have over 200 ordination so that it wont be resist too much ..</DIV>

Yes - my ordination has been 250 for months - I was not seeing the DM icon due to the fact I did not have my maintained spell window UP  - Thanks for the feedback in this thread. <div></div>

Turn on your ALT-M left hand maintained spell window and you will see it as a green icon with a light yellow glowing ball inside it when it sticks.
