picture not working

[Grekath]

<P>thats odd, cause i can see the picture when i go to the post, but anyway, despoiling mist is now a encounter mitigation siphon. Ive gpt apprentice 4 up there cause its the only one on the broker on the test server i saw. </P> <P>It takes mitigation from mobs and gives it to you, the more mobs it hits the encounter, the more mitigation you get , or atleast thats what the description looks like.</P> <P> </P> <P>This is an awesome change, and ironically what i suggested in my previous post 8=)</P> <P> </P> <P>Silouette of Kithicor</P>

You're linking to your pictures locally from your PC. You'll have to upload them to a website like <a href="http://www.imageshack.us/" target=_blank>Imageshack </a>before we can see them.<div></div>

[Rylight]

hmm, interesting, I wonder how useful this will be on pvp,,,,,,,,,,and also, doesnt this make us alot more of an actual TANK, able to raise our mit at will....hmm kinda sounds like a guardian, but im loving it. <div></div>

All i see is a picture of my Dirge when he was 49?  Hows that work lol.

[ganng]

Aye I see a picture of my test toon dead outside CT... freaky linkage.

[beliker]

Because he is linking to file:///C:/Program%20Files/Sony/EverQuest%20II/TestServer/screenshots/EQ2_000001.jpgSo you have a eq2 screenshot in that folder with the same name on your pc, thats why you see it.<div></div>

<P>That sounds great.  The only part that sucks, and now correct me if I'm wrong, but all of us are now going to get our existing Despoiling Mist reset back to app I right?  That kind of sucks for those that spent out the yang and waited weeks/months to see that drop. /sigh</P> <P> </P> <P>Not complaining since that is more than a welcome change. Did the timer/duration change as well?</P>

[G3IST]

Why would it be reset to app1?

Maybe the dev's are reading this junk, first <a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=9&message.id=23448#M23448" target=_blank>Death March</a> and now <a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=9&message.id=20787#M20787" target=_blank>Desp</a><a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=9&message.id=20787#M20787" target=_blank>oil</a>, yay I win.<div></div>

Do you happen to have a higher res image? I saved it and tried to zoom but the test is still hard to read. To me it looks like it increases physical mitigation by 311? Just trying to guage what the adept3+ will be. Again thanks for taking the time to post this, i've been anxiously awaiting news on our new skills since the nda was lifted hehe. </div>

[G3IST]

Just looked up the app4 on test and heres the stats it gives my lvl9 SK: -Decreases all physical mit of encounter by 1155 -Applies despoiling mists, lasts for 1min 12 secs     -increaes mitigation of target vs all physical damaga by 231 In the description it says that the more mobs its on the more mit we will get so not sure if we'll get that 231 from each going off the app4 or how it works.

[t0iletduck]

That would yield some impressive mitigation if it is indeed 200+ off each mob hehe. Would like to cast that in the drake pit in hof and see what it goes up to. i'm sure its limited to 6 or 8 mobs, but still. i look forward to the change. <div></div>

[Dogm]

The Despoil changes are only on Test right now, and have not reached Beta yet, so I can't actually try them out <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> .        But it looks good imo.    I wouldn't be suprised if this was added into one of our AAs rather then just given to us though.

[plantb]

<P>Some food for thought</P> <P>1) Cast it on 5 mobs 5x231 = 1155 - You kill one mob so -231 kill another mob -231 etc or does it stay the same amount through the duration of the fight <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>2) Does the buff continue after the mob is dead like Siphon Might <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>Like Dogmae said, this aint on beta so if there are any high lvl sks on Test, can you post you findings plz <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  I'm only lvl 10 <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P> </P> <P>Plant</P>

[Kazander13]

<DIV>That sounds great even if it is spiking mit.  This is really fantastic for groups with multiple pulls containing multiple mobs.  Would have been a good addition to the old offensive stance but now that def is changing to int well this is going to be better than anticipated.</DIV>

[CHIMPNOODLE.]

This sounds very promising:smileyhappy:

[gnarkill]

I tested this on beta and its 336 mit PER affected mob at master lvl..and why would we get Despoil reset?<div></div>

[Vexorkane]

<DIV>Just plain sexy.</DIV>

[MirageKnight]

<P>Anyone tested this mtigation to SK as showing "NOX" debuff part of spell?</P> <P>Some healer can cure this to make lose? which would be funny.</P> <P>Yeah, should be bug that definately need to be fixed.<BR></P>

[ZhouYu]

<EM>This is awsome for pvp ! All have to say is SKs be happy about EoF ..with resists and spell changes and the little SK boosts we are getting, our class will be a fearsome one. even more than it is already.</EM>

[Coica]

freagin awesomE!!!!!1!1!<div></div>

[gnarkill]

Yea it is awesome...I used this on a huge encounter in beta and self buffed I went to about 7700 mit...and that is with the mitigation nerfs<div></div>

[Rylight]

cant wait to use this!! <div></div>

[pawnipt]

I've gotten to 8800 mitigation with it and siphon armament and the normal priest group mit <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />It cannot be cured off you the noxious is a faded icon meaning it is not curable.Trick for super buffing for a epic pull, duel a conj and have him summon a bunch of pets, cast despoil, /surrender, rejoin raid, pull mob!<div></div>

[Addex]

<DIV>Nice man, find a exploit for it so you can get it nerfed for all of us.</DIV>

[standupwookie]

Yea, pretty much a guarantee this will either be nerfed massively before release or a week or two after.

[pawnipt]

<div></div><div></div>.... anyone with a brain could figure out that one,   And i really couldn't see someone getting suspended for using the skill in a duel before a epic pull, could you? so yea its NOT a exploit, but perhaps its something the dev who added this upgrade couldn't foresee.. it would of been a matter of time before it would of been brought to the attention of the devs, by either a jealous Paladin or other tank class, or a shadowknight (me) that gives a crap about balance in this game.<div></div><p>Message Edited by pawnipt on <span class=date_text>11-09-2006</span> <span class=time_text>11:32 AM</span>

[Mistmoore-Milaga]

No no no, this is the sort of thing that should be brought to the community and the devs attention ... so we can find a solution rather than have one handed to us (a nerf).Why not have this buff only work in-combat. Once you are out of combat it drops. Seems like a minorly inconvenient restriction, seems to be in the spirit of the spell and the class, and makes you think a little bit more about how and when you use it.<div></div>

[pawnipt]

Eh.. or perhaps not work on swarm pets?<div></div>

[gnarkill]

Wouldnt work on pvp server...I am exile and could drop group use it on my raid but then I would be locked in pvp and uninvitable to the raid...If you can do that on pve server should be fixed imo<div></div>

[AziBam]

<DIV>The other thing to keep in mind is that using it in the above manner means you have completely lost the benefit of a nice debuff on the mob(s) as well.  I thought about the method and concluded that I'd probably rather take a lower mit return but still get the debuff function.  </DIV>

[Rylight]

im to lazy to use that expliot, lol <div></div>

[Archill]

I can't wait to use it on Gnorbl and his little tots. Oh the mit to be had.<div></div>

[Ajil]

or MO...

[Grimm79]

<P>I don't think that exploit will work <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P> </P> <P>what I noticed on beta is that the mit transfer dies with the mob... and also when the encouter ends.</P> <P>So if you start a encounter with 8 mobs you can syphon mit from 8 mobs, 1 dies the mit syphon drops with 1 etc... </P> <P> </P>

<DIV>It make sense, and tbh I dont mind.  Last thing I want is other classes crying for a nerf cus prolly one of the best changes to our spells is too "uber".</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Plant</DIV>
