After reading these post I really don't think this spell is for me. I still use mental corruption and just mana tap mobs. It safer and you get more mana and no lose of hits. I about 75 mana a proc and with 275 dex I proc alot.

It's still a worthwhile spell.
Not everyone wastes their time waiting for a kei+ in pok.
It's mana regen for when there aren't others available. The corruption proc does help get mana back. But any decent sk is using a lot more mana than that will make up, and can use the mana regen from pact or kei+
Any and all mana regen helps. The hp loss is negligible.

I was pretty pissed off the first time I read this spell description, but I must admit that I love the spell. At level 66 I am getting 20 mana per tick with it (1 natural, 1 from FT, 1 from AA for 3 per tick with just gear, and 17 from the spell) and I am losing 14 per tick standing (10 per tick regen). I do not remember how much I was gaining as far as mana at level 65, but I was losing 15 hitpoints per tick with the same standing regen rate, so the hitpoint loss does seem to at least go down (as a side note, I only get 19 per tick with KEI and 23 with VoQ). It's an awesome spell and well worth using. I am not sure if it continues to go up with levels or not, but it's nice the way it is.

I gotta say, even at level 64 I love this spell, unless I have an enc in the group I don't bother getting C3 in PoK any more and if there is an enc in the group I'd know I'm going get C4 or C6. Very nice spell and the lost of HP over the gain of mana isn't a big issue either, hell you can tap that back

at lvl 55 unbuffed i have over 3k hp, i think 32 hp per tick is not going to be all that bad, and with the mana regen i can tap it back

Does this spell stack with C3? info would be greatly appreciated.
played a necro for a short while and the cannispell (i even forgot the name,sorry) at early lvls surely stacked with breeze and canni. considering these are in the same line (just higher)and assumably in the same slots. (check out lucy to be certain) stacking should not be a problem.
Must have been a very short while.
Liches never stack with Clarities. Both occupy the covetted spell slot 2. Even the lowest level lich doesn't stack with the lowest level clarity.

Decraese hp's with 32 ain't bad at all, as a iksar SK i regen 27 hp's a tick sitting, little less standing, but with aa's you get a better regen than 32, so i realy don't see the problem

This really isn't so bad if you have 25 hp regen from shaman or druid. You'll only lose 7 hp a tick. I think it is a fine addition to our spell line. Especially when no enchanter is around.
You won't lose hardly any, standing regen at this level is somewhere around the 6 range ain't it?
I dunno about you guys, but I'd rather just get a C3+, that's a whole 10pp out of my pocket, uh oh... I'm going broke! Ahhh! Seriously, the skeleton illusion would be kinda cool plus the mana regen, but at the cost of 32HP per tick, I wouldn't really want to be tanking with my health going down that fast, especially if I'm MT... Not that it wouldn't come in handy, still gonna get it, just in case the chanters are off duty or I just feel like running around as a skele =D
The idea is that you use lich form as an sk, and then life tap a bit with the extra mana to keep up your hp. Sks get some really nice taps at higher levels, although they're probably sacrificing some pure dps due to loss of weapon swings if they have to try and cast their taps too much.
If tanking, having to tap to balance out hp might suck, because the interrupts can be a pain... but if you're not the MA I would say go for it... w/o the possiblity of tap interruptions this spell only helps.
Something to consider anyway.

I'm not uber-geared by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have some good stuff (check my Magelo). I'm heading for 8.5khp raid buffed. It's okay.
32hp/tick is nothing, seriously. I have a few hp regen items now and some regen AAs, and medding with PoH I only lose 1hp/tick. Even without lifetapping the health back, you barely notice the drop as you fight, and let's be honest - when a mob is hitting you for 500-800, what's another 32hp anyway? :)
Obviously with other buffs you can counter all the damage, BST crack is a good one, druid/shaman regen helps.
I have a 50hp lifetap proc on my sword right now, and when I duo with my necro partner, this is more than enough to keep me topped up. Lifetap over time if you take some damage, regular lifetap if you're getting a solid beating. I don't usually use the line of lifetap proc spells as I prefer Mental Corruption for extra mana (and it procs even against things with no mana).
Bottom line - by the time you hit level 64, 32hp/tick isn't that big a deal. In fact, you can probably cast this, stand up and go AFK until it wears off without risking death. Unless you get trained or something of course ;)

DECREASE HP BY 32 PTS PER TICK. IS THAT RIGHT?
#REDACTED,
Posted: May 28 2003 at 11:32 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Yeah it does decrease hp by 32 per tick. Its a lich line spell you trade hp for mana.. Its not a bad thing entirely, its just completely useless in group with an enchanter with c3 or greater.. sure c3 isnt as much mana but if the mana buff + int and it doesnt smack you for 32 per tick..

Posted: May 13 2003 at 5:45 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Yeah it overwrites c3 :).. Fails to cast with c4 or greater, great when teamed with that invigorate bp... if DE sks werent so dead sexy id make an iksar for that regen to come in handy.. The beauty is the 5 mana casting cost so you can start lichin up after wipe... and then wait ages for cleric to rebuff.. Would be nice if you gained some other nice undead abilities, eb and see invisible..
