Spells: Rage fades when OOM

[Toehammer]

I reported this in game and am now doing so here.

Basically, rage is draining mana as intended, but when you run out of mana the whole buff fades. It is supposed to persist as a sort of OOM tanking shaman buff. However it just fades when your mana pool is drained.

There was a thread wondering about it here, which I responded to: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...91&postcount=8

Keep up the awesome work, can't wait for Kunark!

Thanks for posting this Toehammer. Just to let you know I'm fairly sure in-game bug reports are not acted upon.


For the devs in case this change was intended, I have some evidence that the effect should stay on even if the caster is OOM:

GREAT TO BLAST THEN MELEE...., By Kumorm (1/28/2001)
OK, when I was fighting the hermit in SK I would root,blast till I was down to about 30 mana then cast frenzy then engage in melee with full health and a regen and strength buff on me, and best thing was when I ran out of mana the spell's effects lasted so keep it on till you get up to 4 bubs health then turn it off and med to full

Also to note, the spell gems should stay greyed out as long as the effect is on. I don't know if this is how it works now because before the spell file went live they stayed greyed out for 30-40 seconds, so I don't know if they would stay greyed out longer if the effect lasted after running OOM.

Casters Realm page on Spell: Rage

This particular spell (rage) takes 45 mana to cast, and it puts a buff icon in your list. As long as the buff is active, you gain str, ac, and faster regen, and any mana you still have left is drained away quite quickly. You *cannot* cast anymore spells (your spell gems are grayed out) until you either cancel this spell or it wears off. Also note that mana regen is impossible while this spell is on. I don't care if you have clarity and a the bard mana song, it isn't gonna happen.

Let me know if you need more data.

Good finds!

I guess this is also a great tool against mobs that drain mana.

Bump - I know there is a lot going on with spells right now...just wanted to make sure this didn't fall through the cracks.
