Burning Affliction II  

Another one of the limits says "detrimrental only", so no.

Hitpoints allowed means that detrimental spells that DO not affect hitpoints, will not be affected by this focus item. For example, the druid ensnare spell is not affected, however, the SK snare, which is also a DoT, would we affected.

Well yes and no. It is somewhat the same. As of the last (7/10 or 11) patch extended affliction has been changed to burning affliction. Instead of prolonging the spell duration, they have made it so it does more damage over the same time. At least if I read the patch message correctly.

Can't answer the rounding question, though I can tell you that asking, demanding, or whatever of SOE is a waste of time. They have the worst customer services dept of anyonr I have ever come across. They NEVER read an email before replying (I could show numerous examples) but would rather send back a reply which doesn't address any of your questions. SO, good luck demanding; I'll assume the usual from SOE - it'll be rounded down.

They still do as much damage on each tick. A 10 tick DOT will go 12 ticks, so that's 20% more damage. All your DOTs level 44 or less will do 20% more damage.

This isn't a spell Anlorn, it is a focus effect. I don't know what you looted in GD, but it wasn't this.

There is no minimum level for focus items

Snare, root, burst of fire arent affliction hit-point-spells, flame lick, being a dot is.
Basically this will affect all dots.

the glow or spark message is the message for the effect.

My experience has shown that it does not affect Root or Snare. You don't get the message about whatever item you are wearing glowing and I can tell no difference in the duration. It also states in the description that it only effects deterimental spells that effect HP, so I'm pretty sure it won't help root or snare last longer. :(

Songstealer, I would like to ask you a few questions. You say you can weave 4-5 songs? Or from what your post suggests. I know this is off topic, but: While weaving 5 songs is possible, it is un-reliable and very unstable, even with 4 songs. To say that bards are lazy for weaving 3 songs is a fault in it'self. Now, I have already looked into weaving 4-5 songs, and personally I would rather weave only three.
This is Why:

#1: With 180 dex missing a note is still slightly common, each missed note is 3 seconds off your time.

#2: Computer lag has much to do with how well you can weave. Your spell gems determined by lag will either come back faster, or slower. If the gems come back to slow and you try and play a song you will get the message stating the spell is refreshing. This can dock up to, a second for every time this happens if you are not being watchful more that 2 seconds.

#3: Internet lag is another big factor. If you have a dial-up or even a shaky cable or DSL, you could get a small spike that takes .5 seconds away.

#4:When weaving 5 songs you can NOT loose those precious seconds, thus you have to be exactly on the beat, and strike it atleast .2 seconds before the other song wears off: If this occurs you will get the message stating you have gotten the song off, but right after the song will drop.

#5: You also have to take in consideration being bashed, and real life distractions. If you can infact weave 5 songs, you aren't doing a whole lot other that weaving those 5 songs.

Now I do believe you can weave 5 songs, but if you are infact weaving 5; you have: A very nice computer with little comp lag, a stable connection with no packet loss (even dial-up), a very deteticated bard and don't take your eyes off the screen, also a fan of the new spell casting bar that came with Luclin, and you rarely miss a note (200 Dex or more).

I have weaved 4 before, but one missed note would destroy my weave. I am far more partcial to a stable weave rather then one that is shakey :\
Just something to consider for everyone, if you are weaving 3 songs you are better then those other 3/4 of the total bards, for the most part anyhow.
