That's bugged and shouldn't be able to be used that way.

You were owned sir, deal with it.

Or learn the lore of the item and see that it works exactly as it should be.

Actually no. That needs to be nerfed. Way way way out of line.

Aren't you always the one complaining about how elite stuff like this shouldn't be in the game? Doesn't this make the game 'unbalanced' like double voodoo or magma spray?

It seems if it benefits you, and you know about it, it's kosher, but if its used against you, it needs a major nerf.

Honestly, despite the fact this will not happen to you, an imm should slay/eat corpse for not reporting this bug you knew about, especially after all that preaching you do.

Do you know the story behind this item?

This item is meant to do exactly that. It always did that. And it has been in the game for years and it was used by many players. Also, if you knew more about that item you could have ganked me right after using it because it has some side effects. But I guess you didn't know, right?

Now, that's a unique item. And to get it you must do a quest first. So it's not exactly available to any PC of a certain class(like magma or voodoo).

Do you want me to tell you other unique and even more powerful items in my book? I can name you quite a few(actually every unique scripted item). Do they hurt the balance of the game? Sure, if all you want to have is the exact same items for everyone. Unique scripted items offer depth to the game and eliteness to those that put effort in collecting them.

So just QQ more, will you?

PS: I love how your buddy priest(who is a different aura - but he was plvled along with your past chars) logs in to help you plvl your new chars, and the moment he gets ganked he quits. Sucks to be him.
PPS: I could just as easily have used an etherealform scroll to get away. But you were not really worth that waste.

Way to take the high road. I guess I can't expect anything more from an experienced player who thinks he is above the rules.

This is about bug discussion. That particular piece of equipment is overpowered and cheat. You should have reported it long ago.

It's not more cheat than daybreak, GGI's halberd, HP regen chain, carfashon amulet and quite a few more items.

Once again, it's a unique item and using it has some bad effects on the user. Learn to use these to your benefit and get practically a free gank on the user.

This thread goes down to the fact that you thought you got a gank on my priest with the taunt and failed horribly. Just like timeley's Hammer barbarian bashed me some days ago, even waved thinking he had the certain kill and still failed. So just QQ more.

No. I don't have to compete with you on that level. You're using it for effects that are unintended and upset class balance.

All elite items upset class balance. That's why players who put effort in learning the game and collecting these items have an advantage over others of the same class.

Which is why they get brought in-line usually. We're talking about the fact that you cannot word out or teleport out of taunt, so why should you be able to use a script?

I'll leave it to an Immortal's discretion. Personally I think it is a bug and I think most people would agree with me.

It needs to be fixed immediately.
