New expansion - concrete info

I finally figured out where to put the new Warrior image.

Our BP click has just gone in:

22420^Soothing Visions^PLAYER_1^^^^The favor of the spirits has been bestowed on you.^ is favored by the spirits.^The favor fades.^150^75^0^0^0^0^0^6^2^0^0^209^626

In English - the bold bits show it's yet another pathetic group heal and HoT. For pity's sake - there are only 3 class clicks in there at present and already ours stinks.

You can be sure if I get into beta I'll be most vociferous in getting that changes, as I'm fed up having a click that either bounces or heals plink damage only.

I would like to know how long the reuse timer is for Inconspicuous Totem.
The clicky for the shaman BP has always been pretty lame an easy fix for it would be to remove the direct heal portion and turn it into an aura.

[Retron]

What a difference a day makes - somebody is listening, it seems. I'm grateful for that!

Today's beta update has this in the spells file:

22428^Soothing Visions^PLAYER_1^^^^Soothing Visions on me^Soothing Visions on other^Soothing Visions gone^150^^0^0^0^0^0^3^7^0^0^3000^22429
22429^Soothing Rejuvenation^PLAYER_1^^^^Soothing Rejuvenation on me^Soothing Rejuvenation on other^Soothing Rejuvenation gone^100^^0^0^0^0^0^3^5^0^0^50^85^0^750

The first one is a 3K rune. It's in slot 1, but AFAIK we don't actually have any runes other than by some old procs and shield clicks - so it'll stack with pretty much everything we can cast. It's the same slot as the enchanter single-target and group runes.

When the rune fades, it casts the second spell - Soothing Rejuvenation. That's a spell focus buff, which increases something by up to 50%. No idea what that something is, or how many hits it'll focus, but either way it's something pretty much unique for our class.

Thumbs up from me!

*basks as the angels break out into chorus*

While I'd still like to get a better idea of what exactly it does, at least it's something other than the same gimp click we've had since SoF. That alone is still a thumbs up.

Changes to Spreading Malo:

Mana cost is a whopping 3471 and there's a 30 second recast time. All that for a spell which will be certain death if it's actually used in a busy area.

Oh well, one spell I don't need to worry about when November comes around. Trouble is, that's one of only three spells and it's a bit naff that it's a wasted slot at present.

[Dakota]

Not only that, but look at the numbers. Only reduces applicable resists by 12, and is magic-based with -ZERO- resist mod.

For the love of god, lets get this shit changed or dropped entirely.

[pagarbuk]

For that kind of mana, it should be an aura that lasts 30 minutes.

[Retron]

[pagarbuk]

Yeah, as an aura, it would have to follow the Focus of Arcanum route rather than the totem route. I don't know of any auras that have detrimental effects.

[Dakota]

I'd just like a "Wind of Tash"-style AE Malo/Malos/Malis.

[pagarbuk]

The 89 fizzle adjust seems downright cruel given the mana cost and ineffectiveness of the spell.

I wish they would slap some hate on it like they did for Wind of Tash so that we could use it at risk of getting slapped a bit instead of having the crippling limitations that exist currently.

[Kinak]

I liked the malo totem we got in PoR.
Personally I wouldn't mind an upgrade to that. Makes things much simpler.
