Used Sentinel to escape being ganked by 5 attackers. Was on way back from guk to freeport carying 50 to 100pp. Was jumped by a team of PK'ers. As a cleric I used divine aura to bag and activated Sentinel. It lagged em out so bad I was able to gate to freedom! or at least it assisted my ability not to get interupted.

"there are no usless spells, just spells that need a creative caster"

Using a septor now, so gave to a new wiz a created, at level 5 he gets almost 2 bubbles extra mana LOL
this can help

Sentinels range is about 10ft radius. One thing though it will not inform you if the person doesnt move.

This spell will get you ALOT of enemies when used. It spams the chars close to you with text and a highly irritating sound. Just be warned. I was dumb enough to try the spell when I was medding in HH near the orc spawn. I didnt know what the spells purpose was so I tried it and I got spammed with HATE from all the people there.
I had to zone to get rid of the spell effect too.
Most think you do it out of sheer mischief. Be warned.

I an one other enchanter cast the Sent. spell one day a couple times in the East commons tunnel.. quite a busy day.. boy, that was funny, and quite colourful.
There were a few other
people that cast some other spells to join the light show, but most were just irritated. lol
Ah well. I just like casting it to see a globe of light surround my char. and run around or run in circles, after switching perspectives, to make some cool effects when I'm bored. hehe

I have used this spell from both the Staff and via just being an Enchanter. Those who don't like it being cast around them might as well get over it. It is a useful spell to have up, especially if you are a Wizzie that doesn't have a pet to cover yer backside....

This spell can be good and bad. It sets up a field around you so that if something walks into the field, you will be notified before it gets to you. I don't know the range offhand, but it's supposed to be helpful when you're medding and can't see what's happening around you. The bad part is that while the effect is active, you will basically be spamming others in your area as they continually get the message "you get the feeling you are being watched" or something to that effect. This continues much like the messages that you get during a bard song, like every few seconds. It can be annoying and there have been reports (I have not confirmed) that this spamming has caused tremendous lag in certain areas. Ohterwise the weapon itself is pretty cool.

I could be wrong but if you dont like the "spamming" part you can prob turn off player spells in the chat filter option and not get the being watched message

It gives u a warning when u are medding is something comes too close.

The staff of obsevers doesnt have 47 charges of sentinel, it has 50 when you start out.

Does the staff of Observers still work (minus Sentinel) with no charges. I received one as a gift and want to know if it was still good to use a weapon?

You should still get all the bonuses, but you will not be able to cast the spell... just wish enchanters had some way of recharging items like this.
/sigh
