Spells: Spell issues: Consolidated

[Istianas]

Shield of Flames, level 20 mage spell, now lasts 2 minutes instead of 7 min [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Something is wrong.

Same happened in SK for me last night, been there a week, noticeable change.

Don't know about other mobs but on live hill giants used to be fairly resistant to magic based spells. I'm not saying the current situation is correct but It seemed like their resists were lower on this server than on live.

At one point in live, solon's Bewitching Bravura is changed from 18 seconds to one minute.

Is it possible that with Kunark launch that was how the spellfile was on the installation CDs?

Working as intended. Disease Cloud does not obtain the same amount of aggro pre-kunark than post.

So does this mean that in a few weeks Disease Cloud will go back to what it was prior to this patch? I was very surprised at how much different it is. Previously, I could cast it and the mob would immediately turn on me and not stop.. Now it does next to nothing (in terms of getting the mob to focus on me).

I didn't notice this change in the patch notes either. Was this an intentional change or was it accidental?

I was on Orc Highway last night and also killing Crocs. The folks I was groped with ere noting a LOT of resists against root. I personally was experiencing a lot of resists to Disease Cloud against the orcs and gators. Most were blue con to me. It seems as if the resists were increased too much (IMHO).

All the spell changes were posted here SIX weeks ago yet no one complains until now?

Alla does not give classic info. For classic spell info, refer to the p99 wiki, which parsed its data mainly from crys.org and lucy.alkabor.com and is undergoing refinements to make sure it is perfect for p99.

Why would I be reading the Kunark spell changes? I haven't been playing on the beta server. This is the bugs forum and people are posting what they consider to be bugs. The change in DS duration was not listed in the changelog for the new spell data file so it's safe to assume that this could be a bug / unintended change. I don't see how calling people who are posting to the bugs forum complainers helps. In fact, it discourages posting.

I went to rearrange my level 16 gnome wizards spellbook today and found that none of the spells contain the description of the spell details. It shows the level, skill, mana cost and cast time but the description of how much damage it does and what type of spell it is (ae, pbae, DD, etc etc) is not there. This will make it difficult to sort spell books.

I agree, I seem to recall mobs in kunark having a much higher resist rate than old world,thus I wasn't overly surprised during mandatory beta. However yesterday having spent full bars of mana on mobs in Rathe Mnts and landing perhaps one or 2 spells per fight certainly isn't the norm.

Yeah, it's kind of funny that there is absolutely zero spell information in the game anymore. I know we can easily look up more or less what every spell should do online but it must have been a trial by fire back in classic... I can't even imagine.
