SoW Sword

[ylarik24]

Sow sword is faster then regular sow it should not be

Moved thread to the appropriate forum

[Aadill]

In the same vein, Level 60 Rangers cannot cast SoW on someone if a Level 60 Shaman or Level 60 Druid has cast on them. I want to do some testing to get the numbers right but it appears as though it's the equivalent of a Level 54 SoW.

Also the same with Harmony but that can be a separate bug report.

Eh I remembered something like this about shaman sow being faster than ranger sow.

No clue about the sword, never had one or knew anyone with one in this era.

The sword casts the same spell id as the normal spell so I would need to know more information. What level was the caster using the sword and what level was the caster of the Spirit of Wolf spell.

I can confirm a 60 druid ( self sow ) and 60 bard with sow sword ( self sow ) ran the same speed, i was sad.

I think the issue is that if I cast sow on someone, I know aadill can't overwrite / refresh it as a ranger, but other shamans, druids, and sow swords can.

Lvl 60 ranger lvl 60 rogue with sword

[ylarik24]

Apparently it's in the file and it's 4% faster then spell sow

[fan D]

i dont thnk this is correct, sow sword is how it should be

[ylarik24]

Check it out in game on red server a person with sow sword can catch or pass me on my lvl 60 ranger sow

[ylarik24]

Bump

[Xadion]

Maybe its ranger sow thats jacked up not the sow sword doing more than it should (vs druid/shaman)

[Telin]

Fixed by Haynar, pending update.

[syztem]

sow sword works fine speed wise, if anything maybe just whatever casting issues with druid shaman ranger sword issues not stacking or overwriting. Ylarik24 you just seem upset, do some real testing instead of claiming "its in the file its 4% faster" wheres the proof? I have personally run sow sword vs 60 druid sow plenty of times after this debate was brought up numerous times over the years. same speed.

[Telin]

The issue was the item’s spell calculation which was causing inconsistent results that varied by the level and class of the caster. After the fix, it will be just like any other SoW.

[panquakes]

So does that mean something was incorrect with maybe the ranger sow speed ? Or with the sword it self ? Can you confirm the sow speeds were different across classes and the sword it self ?

[Just facts]

Can we please have the same fix on the druid boots?
Right now if one cast the sow spell on someone and then try to use the boots to cast the same spell you get a doesn't take hold msg as if you where casting a weaker version of sow.
Think the bug was added a few patches ago.
