Game Mechanics: Clarity Should be stacking with Lich (evidence linked)

[Dolalin]

I found an old Necromonitor thread about Clarity and the Dark Pact line briefly stacking, from Clarity's addition in late May until about mid-July 1999:

I am not sure if many of you group with enchanters, if you dont, TRUST ME, FIND ONE, and become that players BEST PAL! Enchanters are AWSOME to group with, what with there buffs and de-buffs, AND they have the only charm left in the game. ADD to this the fact that enchanters have a spell called CARITY, THIS spell increases your mana regen. Add to this your Alure of Death, and you, my fellow necro, are a mana machine. NO MORE!!! Last night, while in the pit in Thule, I was with my enchantress pal, she had clarity on her to fellow necros. After a battle, I cast Alure of Death, after a bit, I noticed my mana not shooting up like it used to. Hmmmmm, I wondered, what is wrong, I get up, and notice that ALure of Death was not on. Hmmmmm, maybe the spell failed to cast, since that patch before last, my fizzle rate is WAY UP. I cast it, and get
"the spell fails to take hold". I recast Alure 10 TIMES! EACH FAILED, same message! So, I ask my fellow necromancer to try Alure, to see if it works, he is a couple lvls above me(I of 30th, he 32 lvl). SAME THING!

SO, those that think I was wrong before, ONCE AGAIN, Verant proves that they HATE necromancers! I think they must want everything to be Tolkenisk and have only npc necromancers, and the rest of the players to dance around singing happy songs. It seems that every other patch cuts either the Shadowkinghts, or us down AGAIN! If this is not fixed (Word loss, reasurch pets,no mix of ALure and clarity,total nerf of Screaming Terror) I say we protest a weekend.

The clarity + allure of death was changed before this most recent patch. I had grouped with an enchanter last week before the patch and noticed that allure of death did not mix with clarity. I didn't think much of it, it was still very fast mana regen imo.

It is still possible that the stacking was broken *again* later and fixed *again* in the fall. I will see if I can find anything else.
