Blessings of the Gods??

[Wallzak]

<DIV>Hi, I'm looking for the specifics of the blessings.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I want to go Marr... but Brell's Mitgation buffs and AOE are too tempting to pass up (as outlined in the "which god for a paly" thread).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What does Marr give?  If you know of a thread that will do as well... I looked, lots of threads, not a lot of info.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As a side note, when do you get these blessings... as you work through the quests, or at the very end?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks!</DIV>

RE: the growth... I am currently working on Brell... one of the miracles/blessings is a mit buff that shrinks you by 50%.  The funny thing is I have a gnome paly who barely make the waist of most toons, when I shrink I don't even get to most people's knees... I thought I had height complex before... people on the raid last night were most amused, especially when the orge guardian grew and I shrank.

If you use it on someone else you dont take the damage and get the intercept message. If you use it on yourself you get the 5000 point word, which is being used as damage is taken, but you are not intercepting damage thus no intercept message, but the damage is being taken and going to the ward. I find this to be a good feature, making the miracle useful for more than just raid support.

<P>Heh I just had a thought....I wonder if any wizards would pick Marr / Brell.</P> <P>It would certainly be a life saver to have a big ward like that.</P> <P>I hope Prexus comes for my erudite. Maybe Prex will have a miracle like Tsunami, or Hurricane that deals water magic damage, AE DD stun.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

If you use yours to pull you get the 5k ward for yourself. Once yours expires and someone else uses theirs on you, they get the 5k ward are taking 55% of the damage you are receiving while you are taking 50%. So while it could be used to help stop the bleeding a bit it really doesnt have the infinite usage as eluded towards in your post. Also, you only have 2 casts AND iirc it is "group friend" so not sure it can be cast across groups when in a raid. And even if it could, how many MM followers are you really gonna have in a 24 man set?</DIV>
