UF AA from eq-players anbody?

[Huurgh]

Hi all,

could anybody please list the UF AA that seem to be listed now at eq-players?

[pagarbuk]

Keep in mind that this list will almost definitely change before launch. New AA lines bolded.


Combat Agility/Stability, 5 more ranks each
General Sturdiness, 5 more ranks
Mystical Attuning, 9 more ranks (separate line from existing MA line, dunno if that's a bug or has some meaning)
Quick Draw, 1 more rank


Companion's Blessing, 3 more ranks
Companion's Durability, 3 more ranks
Critical Affliction, 3 more ranks
Divine Companion Aura - new line, 1 rank - pet invuln for a short time
Expansive Mind, 5 more ranks
Fury of Magic, 3 more ranks
Group Perfected Levitation - new line, 1 rank
Hastened Companion's Blessing, new line, 3 ranks - 60 sec off per rank
Hastened Forceful Rejuvenation, new line, 3 ranks - 5% off per rank
Healing Adept, 3 more ranks (based on previous dev comments, I wouldn't be surprised if this gets axed)
Healing Gift is looking weird on my profile, 3 lines of 19 ranks. I am assuming they wanted to add 3 ranks to the current 18.
Mental Clarity,5 more ranks
Mental Stamina, 5 more ranks
Mnemonic Retention, 2 more ranks
Persistent Casting, 3 more ranks
Shield Block, 3 more ranks - On my profile on EQPlayers, it shows Shield Block in the Class category now. This also I would be surprised to see live based on months-old comments made by a dev or 2. Happy, but surprised.


an unnamed (totally blank title) new line with 3 ranks - no description available
Acute Focus of Arcanum, new line, 1 rank - activated aa, looks like a 3rd % boost to landing det spells
Ancestral Aid, 3 more ranks
Ancestral Guard, 3 more ranks,
Companion's Agility, 3 more ranks
Destructive Cascade, 3 more ranks
Extended Pestilence, new line, 1 rank - 1 tick added to dots

Hastened Spirit Call, 5 more ranks
Hastened Union of Spirits, new line, 3 ranks - 1 minute off Union reuse per rank
Hastened VP, 3 more ranks
Inconspicuous Totem, new line, 1 rank - turns you into a stationary totem and removes you from combat (which class do you think will whine the loudest about this?)
Languid Bite, 3 more ranks

From Elidroth:
"The list of AA's that was inadvertantly released on EQ Players was incomplete and represented only the potential upgrades to existing lines, with no new AA's yet added. There is still a great deal of AA development work to be done, and full details will be coming as we get closer to beta."

So far I'm really liking the look of these new aa's

Opinions are like assholes. Everyone's got one, and mine smells like roses. So my own opinion so far based off of the limited info avaliable.


Divine Companion Aura - pet invuln for a short time: Eh. Might have it's uses, but without some serious boosts, our pets are little more than fluff and not worth spending many AAs on. Still haven't bought most the SoF pet AAs, let alone the SoD ones, I don't see buying this one unless our pet gets the boost he should have got several expansions ago.
Group Perfected Levitation : Nice. Handy. Made redundant by Group Spirit Walk, imo. Still, no real reason to take it out.
Hastened Companion's Blessing - 60 sec off per rank : See also: Divine Companion Aura
Hastened Forceful Rejuvenation - 5% off per rank : I personally haven't even bought Foreful Rejuv yet, not worth the AAs to get a second AI once an hour, not worth the AAs to get a second AI once every 51 minutes.



an unnamed (totally blank title) new line with 3 ranks - no description available
Acute Focus of Arcanum - activated aa, looks like a 3rd % boost to landing det spells : If it was a Passive AA, it'd be good. As Activated, I don't see any reason for getting this, I rarely have the need to use even regular Focus of Arcanum.
Extended Pestilence - 1 tick added to dots : Handy
Extended Sloth - 1 tick added to slows: Debateable. Grezan's Drowse might be handy for an extra tick or so, but it's mitigated so much it would make little difference. As for Turgurs, do we really need 1 more tick on an 8 mintue spell?
Group Shrink: No complaints
Group Spirit Walk: No complaints, aside from "Alright, everyone shrink your groups!" *cast* *someone clicks off or casts a spell or whatnot* "Invis me again, omgz!"
Hastened Ancestral Aid - 1 min off Aid reuse per rank: Handy, I suppose, but no real difference in the long run
Hastened MGB - 10% off MGB reuse per rank : About fricken time! My only beef is that it should be able to be reduced up to 50%, since that's the reduction that Chanters get.
Hastened Union of Spirits - 1 minute off Union reuse per rank : See also: Hastened Ancestral Aid
Inconspicuous Totem - turns you into a stationary totem and removes you from combat : Looks very nice indeed. Though it's useability will be determined by the reuse timer. No reuse? Awesome, we can DPS like necros and not get summoned after two ticks. 10 minute reuse? Still good as an "oh shit" button, but not much more than that.
Twinproc - each rank gives 2% chance to get a 2nd proc everytime your wep procs : I'm suprised that we're getting this and not a melee class. Unless we get some more proc buffs that stack with Panther, or they bring back the boomstick, we really don't get much from procs. Worth getting if it's around 1 AA per rank. If it's the standard 7 or 8 AAs per rank, not worth it.

group shrink is going to make my umbracite swarm orb obsolete though =(

[Glauri]

Seems to me that we already have a group shrink. Is there something magic about the proposed one that the one we already have doesn't do? Doubtful.
