Shaman Starfall Earring was nerfed, to 8x the old cast time. (About 2x as long to cast as the regular spell, so it's almost never used now after the levels you get it.)

Aren't your deficiencies compared to Necros and Mages compensated by the fact that you have by far the best crowd controlling abilities? You also have the best Haste/Mana spells which are still useful at high-end even with the new mana-regen. About Slows, everyone has about the same Slow on...

Been away for awhile, and came back to the most recent patching on SOD. Now, when I start up my second client, I can play fine... then the sound goes BBBBBBBBUUUUUU and then my entire computer crashes and reboots. Sometimes it happens right after the second client starts up, sometimes I...

Given the choice, I would have preferred to start SoD fresh when all of you other guilds were fresh too. Make it a real race--not us catching up to established guilds that have been on SoD for years. But that obviously didn't happen, so why try to make yourself stand out?

The other poster is correct, resists do not generate aggro. The other aspects of the post are valid though.

Haha, Zodium's right, we discussed it and we can't and won't skip to either keyed area.

He meant mob pets!

It's true Shamans are one of the more balanced classes overall, just wondering if useless spells for classes were low priority but being looked at in the future, or if they are just something every class lives with for good.

Haha, well, the spell could be a slow drain on Mage Mana. It won't be something drastic like you summon Cleric Pet and 5 seconds later you are oom. Or, the Cleric Pet can even have it's own Mana Pool, or a hard limit on # of heals it can cast before it dies. Remember, the main concept I am...

Maybe diversifying pets is the key to making Mages interesting? Allowing Mages more control over pet actions? (is this possible to some degree?) Air Pet: Rogue-like with backstabs from behind, can be temporarily "dominated" by the Mage to scout with very slow movement but Sneak/Hide...

When suggesting ideas, I'm making the assumption that Inns are the place players go to socialize, so instead of players all sitting outside Newport Bank, they'd be doing stuff at the Inns. Some random ideas: 1) Inns can have games to play. Gambling / Poker or Blackjack Games! (with other...

True, mana is not an issue as much for Shaman; BUT, if you use Paralyzing Earth + regular DoTs, you can kill faster! Using Grasp of Spirits + DoTs does not kill that much faster because by the time you kill the mob, the DoT ticks are still around the 30-40 range for the average DB mob at 65...

Stylez as in the Undead player in War3?

I did the tests on very very low level mobs, that's the only time I was able to ever see full damage of the spell when the spell landed for full duration. When casting on DB mobs at L65, don't even think about it lasting longer than 30 seconds :p

Alright, it's been confirmed by Wiz that the DoT damage isn't breaking the root. However, Raherin, you may have used the spell a lot to solo with DoTs, but did you consider that using Paralyzing Earth + DoTs is more mana-efficient and thus better for solo'ing? You can kill mobs just as fast...

After some testing, I think I realize where the problem might be with Grasp of Spirits. People are correct, it does damage similar to Splurt that increases with each successive tick. Overall damage, if the root lasts the full duration is about 1500 damage for 337 mana. However, some...

Maybe that's the one Onos means us having Colt mitigates the need for resists :p But anyways, yea, I can see where the item is used.

Don't read the thread then :P Honestly, no raid boss within reach of us (except GotSS which we didn't try so I didn't know) needed the CR/FR so it was confusing~

That's fine, looking forward to it. You could have just answered the question simply :P "The Cloak owns because there are some great CR/FR resist fights ahead of you." It's a discussion, not a fight.

Haha, yes but first off a raid boss which was why it caught my eye. This is the 4th or 5th time I've seen the Snowskin so I finally decided to ask the rest of the raiders what's up with situational items.
