<DIV>When is the best time to use it? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I recently broke my piggy bank and bought the Adept III version of this and I was wondering how and when you all were using it. I've tried using it at the beginning of a fight, near the end of a fight and as an emergency Get-The-Mob-Off-The-Silly-Caster type of thing (I must say: it doesn't exactally yank the mob off the wizzy like Rescue does -- I was kinda hoping it would). </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks :smileyhappy:</DIV>

beginning of the fight tends to be bad, 'cause the DPS naturally holds off early, and i've found if you tell them not to then everyone goes nuts and the fight gets interesting quick. ... on a fight where i have aggro concerns (2 non-linked orange groups, 3 groups of yellows, or something) i hit it about 10-20 seconds into the fight when DPS is prolly burning mobs down.  and i do use it as an emergency taunt ... it seems to work ... just a little slowly.  think of it as a over-time version of rescue ... <div></div>

<DIV>Has the issue with casting of Sigil breaking the hate siphon with Amends been addressed?  Dont know if this was an official bug or just an observed effect.</DIV>

observed effect (no official statement) ... and it was still happenning last night ... no real way to prove if its true either, since you can't run a parse on hate ... <div></div>

Sigil is the same percentage wether you have apprentice 2 or 4, adept 1 or 3, or master 1. It is not upgradable.

no ... the icon stays up ... but just by observation it doesn't seem to be really 'on' any more. if you want to try it out, do this: 1.   duo with ranger, put amends on him. 2.   pull and have him do steady dps for a couple fights until he is comfortable with what dps he can do without pulling agro (usually he can go all-out). 3.   cast sigil during a fight. 4.   pull again and see whether with the same dps he pulls agro i have a sneaky suspicion that this may have to do with the level of sigil vs the level of amends.  i have adept3 of both if i remember, and i see it all the time, but it may be that if your amends is adept3, but sigil is adept1 it wouldn't happen 'cause amends is too high level to be overridden ... <div></div>

<DIV>Your chances of running into the dropped adept 1 version of this spell is very slim. Dont worry about wasting money. If you run into the adept 1 version in the broker you will find it priced about the same as a vanadium cluster or rough pearl. If you want the spell right away you have very little choice.</DIV>

<div></div><div></div>The spell seems worth it once they sort it out. I tested it by letting a "non paladin" friend play me.. He kept aggro fine with amends and just using the regular taunts as he learn't my abilities. Then he started using sig and his aggro control broke and stuff kept pinging around the group. Stopped using sig for the next rounds and all was gravy again. So something is wrong, hopefully they intend sig to stack with amends or it will be useless as a type of "rescue" if it is suppose to cancel amends... and having a lower version of amends would just be dumb <div></div><p>Message Edited by Vanlaar on <span class="date_text">10-13-2005</span> <span class="time_text">05:58 AM</span></p><p>Message Edited by Vanlaar on <span class=date_text>10-13-2005</span> <span class=time_text>06:00 AM</span>

<P>I got a question about this spell:</P> <P> </P> <P>Last night while in The Shimmering Citadel - I looted the scroll version of this spell. </P> <P> My question is do I need to give this to the alchemist? or If he already has it - does he still need this from me?  And then what version would this scroll make?  Sorry for questions  but Im at work and thought I'd ask.  Thanks in advance.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

most 50+ alchemists would have it already... i believe it's purchaseable in the Court Faction instances ... think the little scrollies are the adept III recipes ... <div></div>

<P>OK Cool - Thx for the quick response!!</P> <P> </P> <P>I do have a pearl - so I'll just ask our alchemist if he has the scroll yet - If he does I can just pass the scroll on to a lower alchy in guild i guess.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>
