Bulwark of Calliav
|
Great spell for pet pulling. Was in a creator one day and we were having a hard time getting the mob pulled... can't remember his name but it's the one right before you actually fight creator, the room was packed with mobs. So, I suspended big *****, dropped mini ***** and cast this on him, he got aggro and i pulled him back. only aggro'd the mob we wanted pulled. So, as a reward, i let mini ***** stay around till the end of the mission since he did such a good job.

Just got this spell yesterday. Here are some possible uses:
1) When fighting boss mobs with big AoE spells, this will block the first 4 (very useful so you dont have to heal pet,letting you focus on boss mob)
2)In case you don't know what pet pulling is, here is a brief introduction. Summon a pet that is GREEN con to the mob you are trying to pull out of a group. Cast Bulwark of Callaiv on it and hit /pet attack. As soon as the pet agros said mob, hit /pet hold and /pet follow. Since the pet is Green to the mob you are pulling, it wont last very long when getting hit. Sometimes it wont last 1 hit. Casting bullwark of callaiv will keep your green pet alive long enough to pull the mob so you can snare it. And best of all, the mob came without his friends. Enjoy!

As For The Use Of This Spell, If You Haven't Used The Calliav Line... And You Think It's A Waste... Your An Idiot. With That Said, Anyone Know For Sure How Many Hits It Protects Against?

I have found the 64 version of this spell to be actually quite useful. In essence it buys your pet one round of invulnerability against a mobs attacks (the rune absorbs n hits of any type). By doing this it makes our pet excellent as blocker so a slower gets a bit more time to slow a mob, pet pull is made a lot easier with this as your 49 pet stays up just a bit longer and there is many more uses.
The mana is steep but in grps i usually have plenty of mana and the places a 65 necro usually is in has mobs that hit for in the range of 500-2.2k. Your pet living through a quad of 2.2k without taking dmg does make you look good ;-)

If you're to cry about a spell, at least understand the spell before crying. The last calliav blocked a set number of HITS, not damage. Protection of Calliav blocked 3 HITS, be it mob hits, AE's, riposites, etc. The damage didn't matter. It could be 1 hp or 4k hps. So it figures that this one will block at least 4 HITS.
