Is Devine Vengeance bugged?

[Lemli Wak]

<DIV>Like Righteous Blow, this is a divine damage attack but if I use it as a ranged attack to pull, I get hit for damage also. I tried it several times and always with the same result. Can anyone else confirm this? Wanted to make sure before I use the /feedback option in-game. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Sorry - meant it is like Righteous Anger, not Righteous Blow. </DIV>

You get hit by a spell effect. You don't get hit by damage. Try checking your chat log first <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>Yeah, you're right. I should go back and check the log. The big red  <FONT color=#ff0000>- 100  </FONT>that flashed above my head and my health bar going down threw me off. :smileyindifferent: </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyone else? </DIV>

<DIV>I notice that too sometimes, but if you look closely you will see you are getting hit by an enemy ranged attack. The bolt that comes down onto you is what gives you the +strength from the spell. </DIV>

<DIV>Spell works fine.  The bolt you see hitting you is giving you extra STR.  Not sure whats going on for you.  You must be getting hit by a ranged attack.  Find weaker creatures and test the spell.  You'll see it works as intended.         </DIV>

<DIV>That makes more sense, Cloud, thanks. I'll have to test it out again. I actually thought that might be the case but it struck me as odd because it rarely, if ever, happens with my other ranged DD attack. Thanks again!</DIV>

<DIV>This spell has never buffed my str, atk, or abilities in any way. I have always taken it as a bug that needs fixed.</DIV>

<DIV>Is Divine Vengeance an upgrade to Righteous Blow? At lvl25 I see Righteous Blow now cons green (adept I), and has the same straight sword icon Vengeance has. Also, the description of both are alike, save for the STR boost part. I don't think they are on the same timer though. Anyone know? I checked out search but didn't see anything concrete.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Spirited on <span class=date_text>12-28-2004</span> <span class=time_text>07:28 PM</span>

<DIV>Even though the icon is the same for Righteous Blow, I would call it an upgrade to Righteous Anger as they are both DD ranged attacks. But I was using it again last night and I didn't see any effects other than the damage it did to the enemy. It still makes the caster react as though he / she's been hit - hard enough to make them groan. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also, I was noticing that from LVL 27 to lvl 29, the six new skills we get are all attacks! Sweet.
