You utter the words, 'uoculoihuyl'.
This is a copper band, a medium copper treasure, weighing approximately 2
lbs. It is of outstanding quality and is worth approximately 194 silver.
It bears an enhancement enchantment to slightly increase magical protection.
It bears an innate enchantment to greatly increase magic resistance.

I can safely say that was quite heavily enchanted beforehand in the resistance category. Maybe it only affects new enchants?

Ah, yes. It only affects new enchants. Everything seems to be working as expected.

Also, do the debuffs to saves work against npcs as well (assuming they have saves on what they wear)?

Yes, it does. Assuming they have saves on what they wear.

Does the level of a malediction/warlock spell effect the degree of impairment?

Ex. lvl 30 blindness resisted - 1 fortitude
lvl 40 blindness resisted - 2 fortitude
lvl 50 blindness resisted - 3 fortitude

He said the casting speed of the spell affects the degree of impairment.

Ardith is correct. Level of the spell effect has no determination on the amount of the impairment.

Dulrik, mind answering for the record your expectations for the # of rounds that one should be able to be cast at before being affected consistently? Just curious more than anything. I imagine impairments are defeatable by enchanting for moar hours. :cry:

Thank you, D. These changes are overall very nice. I'd like to petition that priests get their faerie fire back, though. It's one of the only ways that they can step up from a support role and defend themselves in an emergency without a magical arsenal. You can take an -actual- useless spell from us. Oh, let's say "detect poison." Make it higher level for the clerics, as well.

D, you need to get on and resurrect me so I can run your suggested tests without the need for the oracle.

edit: Did a quick test putting my lock up front. Took twice the damage as being in the back. Dex is lower on lock, armor is lower than I like, lock lacks dancing high dodge. I really need to make same race same set up skill level to try this you need a test server.

Question,
The code update talks about how Elementals are harder to dispel. Just watching another play this class their elemental has been dispeled ALOT easier by NPC's expert/mentor level. Also they are grey and a holy word dispelled the elemental as well...playing this class before I dont ever recall having my elemental being dispeled by a NPC, can you expand on this?

thanks

Sorry, I won't expand on it. The only clues I will give are already in this thread.

Was the enchanting change purely aesthetic, or did it actually have an effect on the success rate of enchant?

Dulrik · **Posted:** Wed Jan 04, 2012 10:49 pm

Almost completely aesthetic. There is an edge case where success rate may be slightly different.
