If you have Fireskin up, and you cast this on the same person, it will add up per hit. So the DS will be 482, fyi.
extendable?
# Apr 15 2005 at 7:54 AM Rating: Decent
can you extend it in anyway shape or form? i tryed with our summoned mantle, and alas no luck. Its just that the damn recast is slighlty longer than the duration. Probly nothing to be done about it, but if any one knows pls post
Cast on puller perhaps?
# Jan 06 2005 at 8:11 AM Rating: Decent
Anyone tried casting it on the puller as they're coming in before the SHM slows?

Seems to me it'd do quite a bit of damage that way, considering the fact that mobs hit more than 3 times in 3 ticks.

It's quite a bit of damage... I'd love to see a tank or puller go "WTF?!?!" after looking at his DS message, lol.
dps

a lot of people rag on this spell but its pretty nice. In a situation where you want do to more dps, this is like a 1.6k aggro free nuke. 3 sec cast. great for doing nice damage before pet/tank has a chance to get solid aggro. I use it on names all the time

it*s a nice spell
u don*t will get aggro
and no way to resist it
1260 dmg 4 300 mana, hmmm thats not great but ok 4 mobs with high resistance
4 hits =/
# Oct 31 2004 at 10:27 PM Rating: Decent
Yes, the spell dmg/mana ratio is decent and it's not resistable but i would have to agree this spell sucks. I would rather chain my nukes than this DS. At least the focus effects, bard songs and crits affect my nukes thus increasing their dmg/mana ratio. I would have rather had a long recast time on this spell with a shorter duration while allowing unlimited hits than this 4 hit max =/
Not that great
# Oct 10 2004 at 5:00 AM Rating: Default
This spell not that great just got it today.

Lasts 18seconds or 4 hits. refresh is pretty quick now probably 18 seconds.

basically does 1680 damage max. I attacked 2 gaurds at same time then cast on me they him more than 4 times in 18 seconds and it fell off after 4th hit...tested 2 times. Not bad for melee mobs I guess. Stacks with Fireskin.

I would disagree on this spell not being that great. A mage chaining this on a tank during a raid mob encounter with the bard DS ect would put out nice DPS just by itself.

It only lasts 4 hits? Guess we'll just have to throw it in our good old "bag of tricks"....
RE: Not that great
# Oct 28 2004 at 12:39 AM Rating: Default
2 issues come to mind concerning this spell.

1. The duration is 3ticks. Meanin within 18 seconds the target has a 420ds against attackers. If the tank is AE taunting, this is perfect vs a group of 2+ mobs on ur MT.

2. The spell is REFLECTABLE. Yes, you know what Mirror1+ spells are. The tank may very well have this spell backfire and damage him/her for 1280dmg (4x420=boss mob quads) or more.

Conclusion?...
Use it on raids where you know you will be burning down a few mobs at a time (even with an OT, sometimes MT will take on 2 or 3).
Use it when fighting NON-Caster mobs to somewhat avoid reflect.

Lol everyspell is reflectable, but only if the NPC or PK has a reflect buff on them atm.

Is there a level limit on buffs for pets? If not then you can power level a pet class super fast with this spell.
RE: hello
# Oct 12 2004 at 2:24 PM Rating: Default
About 4 months ago you could cast any lvl spell on any lvl pet, for example lvl 64 druid DS was nice for PL'ing wee mages etc

They did change this however. Now the same rules apply to pets as to toons - only spells lvl 49 or lower can be cast on pple or pets under approx lvl 46.

so cant PL very very low toons with this... not sure about the lowest lvl person or pet you could cast this on, it may still have some use like that.
RE: hello
# Oct 28 2004 at 12:41 AM Rating: Default
Actually any spells BELOW level 51 can be casted on a below 51 player.

Now the same rules apply to Pets as well.

Also, all 66+ buffs can only be casted on 60+ players/pets
reflectable
# Sep 20 2004 at 6:14 AM Rating: Decent
did anyone pay attention to the REFLECTABLE tag? That means your tank can be hit for the damage if I am not mistaken. Anyways its by far one o0f the best spells in the game, and it is live.
One other note when you turn in the runes for your spells in OOW you get them in a particular order, this being the last lvl 68 spell you get. So it may be some time before we all get them unless your guild is handing out runes on a best need basis. Even so the drop rate is fairly good in a 3 hr. grp I got 2/3 of my 67 spells. Have not been anywhere else except wall of slaughter ( pretty sure that was the name of the zone)
Whoa

Wow this is pure insanity I'm pretty sure you would have to be at least lev 60 or so to have this cast on you.

Anyone know for sure?

# Sep 16 2004 at 8:42 PM Rating: Default
About time they did something like this. This is one of the few spells out of OoW that actually makes me think a developer is paying attention. No its not a spell the mage is going to be tossing around left and right. But it doesn't cost that much and you can certainly keep it up on a main tank for named. Cast this, nuke, cast this. Meanwhile that unslowed raid mob is eating serious damage shield. Gives the mage a definite role in a raid without making them do only one thing.

in my fervor to pronounce mages the greatest short term buffers in the game i forgot that the calliav line can only be cast on our own pets. it probably would have been more prominent in my mind if i had bought the lower level calliav spell rather than saving my points for the level 58 version. even without the protection of the calliav spell this ds makes it possible for a low level character to battle mobs 20 or more levels above him if there is no minimum level requirement and even a level 50 might be able to dominate a mob in the mid to high 50's with minimal effort

All damage shields have had a minimum level to cast on requirement for quite some time. I'm quite sure this one will be no different.

as soon as i posted the light bulb came on and the scandal got even better. by the time you're getting close to level 30 you will have enough hp to be fighting mobs in the mid to high 30s OR HIGHER!!! 5 absorbed blows to your pet returns 2100 points of unresistable damage, followed by the three hits that it will take to kill your pet that deliver an additional 1260 points of damage while the mage is casting the ds on you because the 12 second recast time is over. you take about 5 blows at 100 points each leaving you a few hit points to spare and invincible to any mob with less than 5500 hp. now you're in your 40's and have more hit points, you get virtue, and the story never ends. 50's? 60's? maybe? is it that far fetched?

and the mages lived happily ever after

There is no level cap for spells being cast on a pet, so theoretically he is right. High level mages suddenly can become powerlevelers...only, not.
lvl restrictions
# Oct 24 2004 at 2:34 PM Rating: Decent
actually, there IS a level restrictyion for buffs landing on pets...same as players. the new OoW buffs will not land on you pre 60, PC and NPC (ie pet) alike.

is there a minimum level to have this spell cast on you? if it doesn't then mages just became the best low level buffers in the game. i'm not sure what level other pcs get pets at but i know mages get them at level 4. with protection of calliav and pyrilen skin cast on a level four player's pet they would be invincible to any mob under level 30. the first five hits from the mob are absorbed and deliver an unresistible 2,100 points of damage in return. even if the pc can't land a spell to get more than 20% of the xp he's getting 20% xp from a mob 20 levels higher than he is. if it's worth 30pp to have someone cast temp on you then how much is it worth to have a mage level you to level 30 in a few hours?

Branoic Frogslayer's got your number. Stop smoking whatever you are smoking and stop buying Ebay Magicians and learn to play a Magician.
1) All Calliav spells ONLY effect your own pet not anyone elses.
2) Have you ever heard or seen "This spell is too powerful for your target". A 46th Toon might be high enough for the spell to land and it's only good for 3 ticks(4 with any EXT Buff Focus).
3) Most importantly Magicians are a learn as you go class, so unless you know what you are taking about please refrain from silly remarks such as this. This spell means if you a Magician of 68th Level is grouped you cast on tank, solo cast on pet or in raid and you know you are going to be summoned yourself. Yeah let the dumb mob summon and flurry on you, he'll kill himself as he's killing you. This spell makes Magicians more valuable than than just standard Damage Shield, Transvergence Rods, and Call of the Heroes. Now instead of Tanks backing up when a mob goes ballastic on him, you cast Pyrilen Skin on the tank and watch the Flurry, Rampaging Mob re-consider Rampaging again while we Magicians are near.

I smell a Nerf
# Aug 27 2004 at 5:06 AM Rating: Decent
This spell isn't even live yet and I can already smell NERF! This will give way to much of an advantage. The damage will either be reduced, or recast will be SIGNIFICANTLY longer. It will likely be a self only spell as well, in which case we will hear all kinds of complaints from the PvP servers.

390 damage shield + 62 damage shield from fire shield,(will assume for now that they stack since the 62 one is also a fire resist (we know they wont though), +8 from velious ring, +30 from Fire elemental form 3, +19 from new bard song. = 509 personal damage shield. (again providing the 2 damage shields stack)

Assuming they dont stack or that this spell doesnt go live thats still 100 DS without bard song. Now lets all do to the arena and make those melee classes wish they didnt duel wield. :)
Now give me some augs that increase my damage shield :)

Not useless
# Aug 23 2004 at 4:19 AM Rating: Decent
IMO it will be great for the MT on raids. 3 ticks is 18 seconds and the spell has a recast of 13 so it can be kept on the MT for the duration of the fight.
RE: Not useless
# Aug 25 2004 at 9:02 PM Rating: Default
You and i think alike ... but you didnt go far enough. 3 second cast .. 13 second recast ... total 16 seconds to cast for a 18 second spell at 300 mana. At 65 my mage has 4500 mana that is 15 casts x 18 seconds = 4.5 minutes of 390 points of unresistable damage per hit. That is enough to kill most major gods and give Rallos Zek the Warlord a run for his money. What is the Aggro modifier for casting this spell?
another useless mage spell?

What benefit does this have? Ok, 3 ticks is 18 seconds... how many times would you say your average tank is hit in 18 seconds? 3? 4? 5? Personally, I'm not a tank, but looking at the little DS messages as they pop up when my DSed tank is hit, I'd say at least 6-8 times. Now at 390 damage a pop... that's (start->run->calc) 2340-3120 damage for 300 mana. That's a 7.8 damage to mana ratio on the low end and 10.4 on the high end. Also, just imagine pulling up your earth pet (the one that can't duck a hit to save his life) and tossing this on him and then sending him against something. Heck, I'd almost wish my enchanter buddy would haste the mob just so he hits my pet more.

While I would absolutely LOVE to see this spell go in, I sense the nerf bat coming as well. I think it's funny though that as a mage I never thought of our DSes as a class defining skill, but if this goes in it sure as hell just became one. Personally I'd just like to see a massive upgrade to our pets instead.
