Shield of the Sleeper

[Lola]

Got time to test:

Unknown spell effect 294 in spell Totally powerful (id 8584)
Unknown spell effect 273 in spell Totally powerful (id 8584)

When it fades:
Totally power: "The power is gone".
Growl of the leopard: "The growl of the leopard leaves you".

Test on Vlad
1st 20 casts without clicky shield : 8 critic
2nd 20 casts without clicky shield : 7 critic

1st 20 casts WITH clicky shield : 3 critic
2nd 20 casts WITH clicky shield : 8 critic

You will be pleased to know that the shield will be indeed Totally powerful now (the effects are both broken and not working).

I download the latest spellfile:
Cannot cast on me
Cannot cast on blank target ("You must first select a target for this spell")
Cannot cast on NPC "You spell di not take hold"

surprise with the 5sec casting time & 20 min recast. Effect should be really huge to change from Instant cast / no recast to 5sec / 20 min.

Wait & see till this works and can be tested.

Edit Tested this morning:
Casted on me : 15K dmg nuke.
On NPC: your spell did not take hold.

Did you survive that?

[Lola]

Yeah hehe It was really funny - I reach 17K HP now buffed. (Chance I was buffed btw )

You are evil =)

[Tyler]

We reload in a minute or so with new spellfile. Should be fixed then (spell was marked as beneficial still )

[Lola]

Lol a nice 15K nuke beneficial =) Would be great for "the cursed shield of the sleeper" item :p

To be honest, a 15K nuke - recast time 20 min is:
A great clicky for healer class and all casters except Wiz.
Quite disappointing for a wiz. Epic 1.5 is 10/12K nuke every 3 min (Vampiric fire inside) and Ether is 12K/14K non crit (14K as I always bring my pocket bard).

Is it a temporary workaround till our beloved coders can do something about +% critic and/or +% dmg?

I did not beg for a long time but since we have no other way to deal with more Dmg and when I see melees which can DPS 4K/6K (/point Monkz :p), where is the legendary WIZ Dps (the one which makes you agroed / summoned / instantkilled)? I do 2K5 to 3K Dps on long fight when I focus on wiz (I usually do less as I also play a CH rot cleric).

I know you all work hard and as usual I just try to bring up discussions.

I would'nt be surprised to see "OMG that's OP for healers" and I would agree but for a Wiz, that's just a 15K nuke for free I will probably never think to use (5sec cast is too muc, my ether is 4.6 sec and deals nearly the same - I would loose DPS using it vs Ether - The -300 check resist is also awesome but in my case, I am not resisted on Fire spells - Brillance of Ro effect).

We already have a Vulak & one ST healer shield which are healer's wearable.
(+ Clr Epic 1.5 + Clr Epic 2.0).
Atm I think I am the only one (means caster here) who gets it, I would first suggest:
Make Shield of the sleeper caster only
Make a better nuke for a 20 min recast - 5 sec cast
Change effect back to something dmg oriented once our coders developped +% critic/Dmg

I think its fine as it is. Not everyone is a Wizard and a 15k base nuke is also fine or not? Doesn't it get a 70% nuke bonus?

edit nm : it's chromatic. i'll move this to fire so you'll get a 70% fire bonus.

[Lola]

Thanks for that fire base update! at least, it will make a difference.

Last thing: May I ask you to have it "Must equip" just to avoid seeing melee class nuking up to 25K? (Choatic fire is on BST/Monk elem sleeves)

[Tyler]

Only classes that are listed can click it from inventory. So should be OK.
