This whole line of spells works best on your pet when soloing. Just keep it on him and he takes no damage.

Unless they have changed it, Euphoria was the first spell I got with the 69 Rune turn in, with my enchanter. I am happy.

This is the 4th spell you get after turning in Greater muramite runes. As of 1/27/06

Doesn't really matter if this spell sucks or not cause you HAVE to get it if you want any of the other level 69 spells....this is the first one you get =/
cheap

Uproar is better. SOE is smoking crack. This isn't the first time an "upgrade" is far worse than something we had levels ago.
What?

Uproar is 425hp. This is 552hp. Mayhem has a mana efficiency of 1.77 rune health per mana and Uproar has 1.70. They both have the same cast/recast time.

Worthless? Nah!

I do not think this spell has any problems stacking with the HoS line any more. If it does, someone correct me.
Anyway, uses:
Fighting a named, You can cast this before the fight to give the tank an extra 552 HP. And that my friends, is a great buff. If we're talking about a mob that might kill the tank before a complete heal lands, that 552 hp before the slow could be crutial. After the slow & tash have landed, if there are still problems with tank-survivalablity, the enchanter can cast this as much as possible to help keep the tank alive.

And in a ldon nowadays an enc might be able to be main healer with alternating this & bedlam depending on how buffed up the tank is. :P ... if nothing else, it would make it so a class like a BL could heal as needed VERY easily.

Soloing w/o buffs, you can stack this with all your other runes - good stuff.

I see your point Smile but you have to look, this spell has as 12 second recast time, I don't really think you're going to keeping your tank alive with this spell, better to bust out Rune of Salik and just drain your mana chain runing, and plus you get almost 4 times the amount of Rune but of course at the cost of dots. Me personally, this is my rune line up:

Ethereal Rune
Aegis of Abstraction (Epic rune)
Mayhem
Shield of Auras

With all those runes on me, even in Riftseekers it takes the mobs quite some time to beat them down, yes, it's alot of slots for runes, but with 20 buff slots, it really isn't an issue.

To those of you who think it's totally worthless.... first of all let me start by asking if you've ever solo farmed for tradeskill items? I farm the hopper caves in DSP regularly cuz I have this insane notion of building my tailoring skill up. I've farmed both with a DC pet and my summoned pet. Both have advantages and disadvantages but lets focus on the use of this spell. I go in, the hoppers attack, my pet goes to work, but I ain't got no healin spells. This would be infinitly more tedious than normal if I had to sit and wait for pet to regen health (though lvl 66 regens crazy fast). Currently I bust out uproar and my pet doesn't lose health....along I go merrily killing hoppers. Now for those that don't punish themselves with tradeskills I'll meet you in the middle. This spell should be the last one you get for the rune turns in's at this level so you could opt out if you want. Making it the first spell is kind of a cheap shot.
useless

Cant think of any use for such a small rune any mob you fight at this level will hit for twice or four times this in one round.
RE: useless

The power is in the stacking: apply Ethereal rune/Rune of Salik/and this one and you get 3607 HP. I keep them up all the time and this gives me +10k hp when I'm fully buffed.
got it

They drop as runes in the OoW zones. I picked up a greater rune in Proving Grounds today. Traded it in and this is what I got. WOuld have much rather had the mez, but oh well.
Great Spell

This one is a significant upgrade to Uproar. Would really like to know where this spell and the rest of the OOW spells will be dropping.
