Wizard Spell - Descry

Aad · 02-07-2005, 07:54 PM

I am not sure if this has been posted or not since i didnt have time to go through all the threads, but the spell Descry for wizards is not working properly according to its description. Its description states that it will affect all members of the group for 15min and not use a concentration (like a scout's pathfinding). But this spell has to be cast on each single group member for them to have the buff. I have petitioned this and was told to /bug report it, and after bug reporting a few times over the last few weeks I still see nothing fixed about it. I was told to then post here by a friend and maybe it will be fixed. Please either fix the spell to do what the description states or change the descritption. Thanks DEVs.Aaddr

It takes a while for things to get fixed. You shouln't expect something like this to be fixed withing two weeks.Yes, to you it's a long time, but we have no idea how much the design team has on thier list to fix.Still, you did the right thing and reported it the right way.

My guess is it's a problem with the description. At least it lasts 15 minutes.

I also noticed that it's random how much wis/int it buffs every time you cast it, and the values change everytime you zone. So I think that's definitely bugged too. Very handy spell though.

Ya, I bug reported it about a month ago as well. I'd actually cast it on my groupmates if it was a /group spell =)

yeah i figured it was the upgrade to snow-filled steps......it isn't now, but at least it stacks and lasts 15 mins. even if you didnt want to individually cast it on all of the group you could definately hook up yourself the healer and another mage class with very little annoyance.......i mean look at what chanters have to do with breeze and refresh.

not really sure what they intended with this spell.

Well i have no problem casting on one or two people, but i usually dont like recasting a buff many times during a long raid fight, not to mention wasting my power during regular exping. Buffs=aggro, and i dont want aggro during a long raid fight (yes some take longer then 15min). Thats it for that point, but for the enchanter comment, if i wanted to be a buffing class i would have been, but when i am given a spell i just want its description to match the spell... if that means the devs change the description to what it already does, so be it. I just like things to work properly, and since i have already been nerfed to all hell, i think that this is not that bad of a request.
