Spells: Shadow Knights & Vampiric Embrace

[Daggoth]

I agree nothing productive is to come of this. I thought I made clear that I wasn't attempting to convince anyone when I said my evidence was anecdotal. To try to convince you all would take more effort than I'm willing to invest or in fact might not even be possible to certain standards.

I'm just telling you it's wrong and I'm gonna get back to other things now.

By the way welcome back Uth, I didn't realize you were on the team again and I do appreciate you taking an active role in this discussion.

I'm doubtful of the suggestion that they made 1 spell scroll scribe 2 different instances of a similar spell for different classes. When a class got something different they just got a different spell. For example they didn't take DMF and say give it to SKs but when they cast it turn off the see invis part, lower the poison resist, and have it be self only.. no they invented bobbing corpse.

Same spell, different effects depending on class. From the spell file:

Originally, and I do mean originally, they used the same effect. Back during classic the sk effect was added. I had a sk and a necro back then and they most certainly procced for different amounts.

I play a sk now, and sadly this change was classic.
