What spells to maintain at 50 (buffs)

Noah · 03-02-2005, 02:52 AM

1) Braks Desp Rally (Trait)

2) Return to Battle (ad3)

3) Do or Die (ad3)

4) Battle Tactics (ad3)

5) Call of Protection (ad3)

6) Call to Battle (ad3)

7) Uthros Def Cry (Trait)

Iron Conviction (ad1)

9) Never Surrender (ad1)

10) Fort Stance (ad1)

What does all that do for you?

Hps +1601

AC +444

+ 139 slash/pierce resistance

+ 635 crush resist

+ 23 Def skill

+ 5 Crush pierce slash skill

+ 8 Parry

+ 4 spell resistance

Seems like a ton to maintain over a long fight (raid mob) so don't refresh what you feel isnt needed. If I am fighting for power, like usual, I generally will not refresh Uthros and Never Surrender (since NS is a crappy 2:30 buff). Adept 3ing skills are very tuff to afford for little return so if you want a few little upgrades then grab Adept 3 Battle Tacts/Do or Die/Call of Protection. Other than that nab the adept 1s you can get.

Anyone else maintain other skills in a RAID setting? And please dont tell me you use the Intervene line of spells....

Is the 8 parry all from adept 3 Call to Battle? I have adept 1 and only get 5 parry. 3 seems like an awfully big jump just for upgrading and leveling a bit, but if its true I guess I'll go get an adept 3 made.

Cast Never Surrender on a party member and watch your Parry.

Hold the line adept3.Never surrender is so short I end up not using it in a raid setting, I feel my power is better spent elsewhere. However if adept3 gives 8 parry might be worth it.

NSurrender gives 3 parry at adept 1. I dont recast it much... just for the initial alpha hits it is up for about 2 mins or so.

Good post.

I had Braks Desp Rally, Do or Die, Call of Protection ,Call to Battle and then I casted Uthros Def Cry on top of that (and had 44 Templars buffs)...

Fought one named and my monk friend said what ever buffs your using, your cutting my dps to half... so I left Uthros away next time and he was happy.

Anyone else have similar experiences buffs NOT stacking well with other classes buffs?

Great info :smileyhappy:

Any chance a mod can sticky this ?

Last I cast them, Never Surrender and Call to Battle did not stack. 5 from CtB and 3 from NS but I never cast NS cause it did not stack. I'll check again next time I am on but I'd be surprised if this was changed.
