Bulwark of Alendar
|
Ok let me explain this with one example. General Reparm in PoF. Hits for 3k. Procs for 3k. Chanter chaining this on the MT means that each proc only does 2400. That is worth far more then a peridot. This spell was not intended as general use spell. It is a raid spell. Like Bulkwark of Vie for clerics.

Ok, so I was reviewing spells a bit to find uses for them. This one COULD have a good use for raid situations with unresistable hits but... 36 minutes??? For a PERIDOT required spell???
Think about it... you cast the spell on folks and hit the fight. Sure, a peridot is a bit expensive but to give them 20% off on getting nuked/MR DOT'd... 1600hp isn't bad but that duration at 300 mana a shot... This spell is just flat out a waste with such a short duration.
If it at least lasted long enough that an enchanter COULD cast it on a few folks -- hour pluse like our other 'rune' spells...
With hour plus duration, you could use it for a raid like MB to buff up some folks -- spider gets in... 4k = 3200 -- bad but survivable by more folks and the buff is still there after the bomb goes off (down 800 absorbed), etc...
Gimp and worthless except in rare situations IMO -- I've much better uses for 650 AP...

at level 63 i HOPE that you have either gear or or AA to extend the druation of your spells
36 min
max duration ext = 70% or 25min
36 = 25 = 61 min thats over the hour mark for a spell that can potentially be quite useful,
now on a side note, think of places like OS, yes i know it is only good for farming now a days , but those frogs do cast the same spells as playes do, and well it might make it kinda fun
the only real question i have, is what about your resists, for exmple IF I resist the spell , can it still be reflected ?

#REDACTED,
Posted: May 13 2004 at 10:43 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) i dont play a caster or even have one over the 50th season but- from what i understand is its a buff that lasts for 36 minutes and will mince a mobs nuke and chop it down by 20%- i mean cmon - mobs have nukes for up to 5k damage this thing will chop 1k of that - i mean cmon that cxould save a raids life! and you are saying that a peridot is to expensve for it????!?!? - and cmon - unless your taking down somthing that need BANE damge or somthing that only takes damge form spells - usually it iwll only take less than 10 minutes to take down a mob -and 36 minutes is not long enoug h!?!?!? - i dunno what you are thinkin but that spell is pretty useful considering a mobs AE has been declared the worst and most annoying part of a raid .. i dunno anything and i just like giving random advice thatis no help to anyone what so ever - but - bet you could sell this to people - /ooc WTS Bulwark ! - cuts a mobs nuke down by 20%!!!! last for 36 minutes!! (if u ask me is major cash on pvp server - i see people selling just shammy buffs for 300pp for sow and focus and a few other nik nax..) I TALK TO MUCH MUWHWAHWA

The duration sucks? huh? First of all, 36 minutes is a nice duration. Secondly, in a situation where you would use this spell, it's going to be used up EASILY within that time span. Hell, the duration could be 10 minutes and it would still be worth it for the raid usage alone.
this spells IS very useful, for example, killing named in BoT, the one that spawns in deep south has a really nasty proc, cast on your MT and keep him alive for that nasty hit ) also handy for most high lvl encounters, such as the dragon in PoI, cast that on a few people right before the attack, this spell was not meant to be uses as a constant buff to have up all the time. The best time to use it is right before really big pulls, cast in on yourself, the MT , and the cleric. help take the edge off those really nasty pulls. Just think of it as a spell rune.

The spell is one that you can buy for 510 points at the BB Adventure camp. You have to get the points from doing the adventures and the spell is no drop. As far as what it does, I dont really know, possibly a rune.

Odd. It costs me 650AP. Wonder if there's a 'faction' for Adventure Merhcants...... More ap ya get, better prices. Or more success, or something....
