Let me save you a ruby or rhodium ...

<DIV>Posted this on the spells page, as a complaint ... </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>Well, in my endevors to upgrade spells, I finally got around to doing PoC, the pally wis/power buff for lvl 44.   I had adept1, and upgraded to adept3 ... and my god what a waste of a ruby that was ... a huge huge waste for that matter.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The spell buffed 10 wis, and 104 power .... at adept 1</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now at adept 3 ... 10wis 106 power .... </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now, is this all I can expect from going to adept 3?  Is this for real, or was I just having a bad dream?   </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>After reading it several times, it was preety real <IMG height=16 src="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-tongue.gif" width=16 border=0></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This seems rather crude for such an advanced upgrade of the spell, and wanted to show some dissapointment.  Though it may go unnoticed, I still feel better atleast pointing it out, just incase this is wrong, and the upgrade should indeed be better.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I just wanted to warn other fellow pallys, not to upgrade this spell... it is indeed a true waste, if there ever was one.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thorvald Odinmarr</DIV> <DIV>"Live today as if it were your last, for tommorow we all may die!"</DIV></DIV>

<P>Im sure you realize by now, but its really important to research the spell before upgrading.</P> <P>Some spells are very usefull to upgrade, others - its a huge waste of money. Theres been a few times where I was thinking of upgraded, saw the spell on the broker, and decided against it.</P> <P>Also, ive found it usefull to examine the differences between an App 1 -> App 3 - Adept 1. If those upgrades are minor, than changes are the upgrade to Adept 3 isnt going tobe that great either.</P> <P> </P>

heh, just like Blessing of the Pentinent Adept 3 and Master 1. Adept 1 is about +55 health and Adept 3 and Master 1 are around 60. Another waste of a spell. <div></div>

From looking at several different classes' spell upgrades, I've found that buffs in general are not worth upgrading past adept 1. Almost every buff I've seen, comparing adept 1 to adept 3, looks just like this upgrade you've posted here... 1 point to a stat, 10 or so hp/power at most, a small amount of resists, nothing much to brag about. <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Damage spells and heals are where it is for the adept 3 spells. At 30, the difference between Oath Strike adept 1 and adept 3 averages to 100 extra damage. Heals normally have a similar comparison.</DIV>

lol yeah the master of this spell inst hardly worth having atm, but i guess they are going to revamp master spells and make em worth a [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] sooner then later

I see Masters up for sale for 2p+ each, and the difference between them and adept 1 is 2-3 points at best... just not worth it.

<P>Indeed an expensive lesson learned, and one I wont forget ... I just hope others dont make the same mistake.</P> <P> </P> <P>Thorvald Odinmarr</P> <P>"Live today as if it were your last, for tommorow we all may die!"</P>
