no as good as some others but those have become increasingly hard to find as the servers age. Delightful orb has passed from the monk, to the beast, to the cleric and now is currently with my shaman. The shaman class especially has very little in terms of good solo dps weapons with heavy procs. great weapon imo.

Criticals
# Mar 15 2013 at 11:24 AM Rating: Decent
Here in the year 2013, I can say without a doubt that this item does critically proc its spell effect. When the item crits, it gives the same item icy glow effect, the same "Targets skin freezes over" emote, the only added difference being that it notes your character has delivered a critical blast. I've seen the same 642 critical effect when it does seem to crit.

What I am curious as to, is whether this is related to the Spell Casting Fury AA - because at 3/3 points and level 55, I see this thing proc the standard 320 damage quite often, while the Ice Shock spell crits seem to be on the rather low end (Correlating with the 7% maxed Spell Casting Fury AA). I may test this with another character sans Spell Casting Fury and see if I'm able to replicate the results.

Question
# Jul 13 2005 at 11:45 AM Rating: Default
Does anybody know if the damage on this proc was upgraded with the upgrade to the actual wizard spell in the great spell overhaul? Assuming that's true this is going to proc for over 500 damage now.

Just a thought.
RE: Question
# Nov 18 2005 at 2:35 PM Rating: Decent
I use one as a 64 druid... and the only times the proc is more damage than 320 is when my aa ability to do a critical dmg with DD spells kicks in .. then it does a very nice 640 dmg.
RE: Question
# Jul 15 2005 at 11:30 AM Rating: Decent
The wizard spell may have been upgraded but the spell on this item has'nt from my personal experience. My 65 Cleric uses this and it always proc's for 320 damage. I've never seen it hit for more. Sure wish it would tho, that would make it alot sweeter!

Just my experience, FWIW
hmmm

[quote][/quote]i feel that the proc being what lvl it is at lvl one is awsome!my low lvls,and my high lvls would kill to be able to do that!currently saving for it! i dont think so because 2.1 divided is 1.1 by equal amount of power of the fourth which equals what it is so you cant use it at lvl one and i dont believe that when you multiply by the fourth power you get lvls 35 and above. by the way i have no idea what i was talking about

insane pet weapon for mage
# Oct 17 2004 at 1:09 PM Rating: Default
with burnout and a haste spell a mage pet could deal out dps better then its caster.

i would say my pet +bo+haste= 2-3 hits a sec.

now im not sure what the chances are of the shock to go off but im assuming that it would go off very often with that kind of speed.

of course it would be a waste to give this to a pet with the per minion AA


EDIT: i assume you can give lore items to pets

You Flamers Suck
# Sep 15 2004 at 5:27 PM Rating: Decent
Yall should just stop with all this stupid flaming it is a decent item for the amount of effort that is put into getting it. They sell for 5k on my server (Quellious) and to most player a primary with 12 wis/int is a great upgrade. You see a ton of classes with this equiped at lvl 65, combat is so so can get better but for 5k a 320dmg dd proc aint BS

So quit ********* its a game, you want good stuff get in good guild, raid. Stop complaining that the simplest things to get are so un-uber

Well, this is my first post... just thought that I would say, this weapon is one of the best 1HB weapons for a cleric up through the 40's and lower 50's provided you have haste of some kind. At 55 however, the proc is nice but I am sure at that level there are far better weapons you could find, be it as drops or purchases that would better suit a cleric. Just my two cents on the matter.

Serious Nerf
# Aug 06 2004 at 12:18 PM Rating: Excellent
This wpn was given a serious nerf recently. It used to be worth over 24000 pts at the tribute master and now it only gets you 10500. It was great when I would win this on a roll or purchase it in bazaar for turn in for tribute points because I would get a bunch in one shot. Now its not worth it anymore because of the cost in bazaar.

# Jun 10 2004 at 3:52 AM Rating: Decent
I think what most of the gripers are trying to say, and I have to agree with them on this one, is that when an item comes out that grabs peoples attention and makes them buy the expansion and save the plat to buy the item only to get it nerfed later is almost a form of false advertising. Imagine you here about a really nice car and you save up for it and buy it, only to be told later "Sorry, we made this car to good, so we're going to make it consume more fuel per mile." or you buy a pc only to have the manufacturer come round to your home and tell you "Sorry, this machine is way to powerful. We're removing the graphics card." That what people are trying to get at. Unless you get a refund for this down-grading, you not going to be that happy, are you?

You can argue that it unbalances the game, but at level 1, a DOoFM, no matter how good the proc is, is almost usless. 30 delay and 1 damage, with the vague chance of a proc? Better off with an Adamantite club! With all their experience, SOE should have realised this weapons' potential, so the only reason I can think of why they made it proc at 1 to begin with was to hook people.

35 is a more reasonable level for this weapon to proc at. But at the end of the day, it should have been tested at lot more before being put out for us to use. Would SOE be willing to compensate those of you who bought this weapon for 10k+ only to find it's not not what the buyer thought?
RE: Poor
# Jan 19 2005 at 10:27 AM Rating: Decent
I agree with this post. It is not that I want the weapon to proc at level 1 or at level 40. I just hate when I spend 38 hours or so killing to get 8 to 10k for a weapon that works one way and then they change it. Maybe SOE needs to spend more time testing to make sure things are balanced before they release a item in the game. Isn't that why they have test servers?

Was looking for a replacement for my main epic as the proc will not overwrite the 65% slow spell. So i decided to try this out.. with 40% haste offhand epic plus celerity and my buffed dex up to 277 this weapon is awesome. it procs like crazy..320..320..320. Down side is you do get mobs attention rather easily. :-)

RE: DOoFM
# Sep 27 2004 at 5:58 PM Rating: Decent
My gripe isn't with the weapon itself; it's with the nerfing.

Ok fine...it's a decent weapon for a higher level character and the proc is still a good proc for higher levels as well. Nice stats too...

But dangit! I go out and spend every coppper I have to purchase this thing for my CLR so that I can have a snowballs chance in h@ll soloing MOBS, and literally 2 days later it gets nerfed. VERY frustrating!!! (And yes we can all question the wisdom of spending all your money on one item)

I sold my DOoFM in a fit of angst (which I now kinda regret doing) and bought an even cooler weapon for clerics which I won't be mentioning here for fear of imminent "nerfing." Just 'cause I'm paranoid doesn't they aren't out to get me. =)

Who solo's a CLR you ask? Me, for one. Pure casting is quite boring and while it is easy for a cleric to get a group, sometimes I just want to go explore by me lonesome and kill stuff all by my Clericy self.

I've managed to max all of my melee skills, which means I can actually hit something when I try. Besides, I love the expressions I get when I tell people I'm a battle cleric...they usually give me a patronizing smile, pat me on the head, and say "That's nice dear..." Until I start hitting MOBS and procing. I won't ever be a tank, but I can make a small noticible contribution in a battle.

Anyway, I'm off topic. DOoFM is still a cool weap. Sony sucks for nerfing it 2 days after I bought it.

I'm done ranting.

# May 26 2004 at 10:05 AM Rating: Decent
Not always true. Damage parses of my 65 BST show the added damage of the proc make this weapon better than the DPS of many "superior" weapons, but only because he has many other group-friendly and raid-friendly AAs to complete before working on double-attack and other combat AAs.

In addition, the large delay makes it a good "combat-caster" weapon, and minimizes damage from those pesky DS-enhanced LDoN MOBs :).

I was going to give the post a bad score, but by doing so, it would've knocked it out of view. I decided against doing that to show what the current thoughts of many EQ gamers are like... and on Morden Rasp, the newest server available, I hear opinions like Quender's more than I'd like.

This is a great item, and there really shouldn't be any type of complaint from a player of *any* level. It has a good proc and nice stats. It is fitting for someone in their 60s... not their 30s.

Instead of dissing it, anyone below level 60 should feel lucky to even be able to wield it.
RE: DOoFM
# Mar 15 2004 at 10:59 AM Rating: Decent
Except for the fact that at 35 casters have to use huge ammounts of mana (for their lvl) to do that much damage. Doing that much damage on a PROC at that level is very very unbalanced.

320 on a proc even at 55 is still much more than most procs.
RE: DOoFM
# May 05 2004 at 6:21 AM Rating: Decent
I have one on my 65 bard and i'm very happy with it. On full group short fights in ssra temple with dex maxxed it was proccing between 2 and 5 times a fight. For someone whose main job at the time was mana and haste giver (no chanter or shammy around at the time) the extra 640-1600 dmg was welcome. Not to mention the dmg outpout of this thing. ok 30 isn't that great a delay but I'm critting in high 100's even up to 210 with this baby. When I'm Off PL'ing folks in dungeons I've started to just tank stuff for the fun of it cos with this and my epic in hand I munch through stuff. It's all relative really, I am in a relatively high end guild tho we haven't hit elementals yet we're edging closer day by day. We don't have access to the best gear in the game and I'm not particularly rich so for a tradeable weapon I think it's pretty neat

Nerfing Items

I have no problem with making Everquest hard or by making you have to work for a magic item. The problem I have is that SOE nerfs things. I believe that SOE is running any upgrades on a test server before they release it to the general public right? If so then between the programers writing the software and the testing process shouldn't they find any out of balance items like a weapon that proc's at lvl 1? I think that it is unfair to release something to the public then after people work to get item they randomly and with out recourse change the item. This proves to me two things first that SOE is looking to keep companies like IGE in buisness and two that no one that writes the code for SOE actually playes the Game.
RE: Nerfing Items
# Mar 08 2004 at 8:36 AM Rating: Decent
I believe SOE is just plain lying when they say they made a terrible mistake and they need to nerf the crap out of stuff a few weeks after EVERY damn expansion.

They gold-rush every single release. Insanely good benefits in one form or another get everyone to run out and buy the expansion, then they say "OMG this unbalances the game, we didn't realize" and they bring out the bat.

They MUST be fully aware of the unbalanced nature of all this strewn candy that gets people flocking to the store.

The latest example is ridiculous.
GoD tribute system.
They want us to believe they were clueless about tribute values? That's a total crock.
Tribute values were super-high across the board. SHIVS yielded 1200 points for crying out loud.
Now you have to turn in your reproductive organs for that.
Greatstaff of Thunder was under 200pp in the bazaar and yielded 30K favor.
I refuse to believe they had no idea beforehand.
We are played for suckers every expansion release.
SOE is more interested in getting everyone to buy every expansion, than in the health and quality of the playing environment.
I'm sick of it.

For me, a level 55 Beastlord, This weapon is pretty good. I don't have my epic yet, and I'm weilding Steward Ritual Claws in my offhand.

The proc happens about every 20-30 hits with my primary hand at a dex of 149.

It's certainly nothing to sneeze at when I'm soloing, considering that most of the time, I'm allowing my pet to damage the mob until it's at about 30%, then jumping into melee and finishing it off while it starts to run.

It's not the best weapon out there, but it certainly has it's uses.

The reason this weapon was nerfed is because it was not being used in the way it was intended. This was never meant to be a twink weapon, thats why it has a reccomended level of 63. The only class post-55 that realistically would use this weapon now is either a casting class or a Bard... the damage/delay/proc combo on this is perfect for a Bard. Hits hard but slow, and packs a nasty punch every now and again. If you want to twink an alt go buy a CHoS those still proc at lvl 1.... for now

Can't give you an edge?!

There is no loot-dropping mob in the game (new GoD zones that are still be explored aside) which has not been killed by players. Leveling from 1 to 10 is now something you can almost do by accident. No spellbook-only mode pre-35. No hell levels. Very powerful melee disciplins. Items that boost spell effects. Hundreds of optional experience benefits from AA. Pets are now a formidable force in almost every aspect of the game. Melee damage output is at an all-time high from all of the bonuses, attack modifiers, haste items, etc. Charming, after countless nerfs is still one of the most powerful ways to take down high level mobs solo or in small groups. Even after the addition of mitigating mobs, slow is still ungodly powerful. More classes can solo now than ever before. Mana and hitpoint regen is an an all time high. Average AC of tanks has gone up unimaginably.

I'm sorry, what exactly was it that you wanted an edge over?

RE: SOE NERFS

"im sorry but i am mostly a solo player that has no guild."

So you are going it alone in a game designed to be social. That will be hard, but EQ actually makes it fairly doable which is nice. Don't expect a free ride as a solo player, it ain't comin. Note: I've played solo most of my career too, and it was slow as heck. That was my choice.

"and i gotta say for you people that are soo arrogant as too say that the game has balance, your wrong. if you group with 4 different guild regularly and get to be pled on every alt you have, and every alt you have has some kind of loot far beyond what they are able to attain on thier own"


Ok for starters it doesn't matter if you regularly group with one guild or 85... I get plenty of help from my guild and so could you if you spent the time find one. I'm NOT saying you should, I'm just saying that you COULD if you wanted to.

"ya the game will seem like it favors the player."

Well, let's see... If I walk into the game naked with nothing going for me, I can level up to 10, do newbie armor quests, go hunt some decent exp mobs in PC with random groups, level up to 20 and then do LDON with other random groups.

Or, I can go the solo route if my class is a good solo class. GoD makes plat fairly easy to get, so I can equip myself in some basic useful gear (nothing too twinkish, just basic stuff). I can then choose from dozens of zones that are decent exp for solo players.

At the higher levels you're going to have to at lesat group from time to time. LDON and the LFG tool make that fairly easy. Once you're 62+ a fairly small number of zones with good exp leads to excellent chances of getting a group.

"as a non-twink solo player, it is hard as heck to attain better gear and to xp."

Yep, but twinking aside, that's the road you've chosen. You could do LDON or any of the popular exp zones.

"it take me a week to level through most levels after 30."

Me too. You didn't expect to level up instantly did you? I've just cleared 50AA in level 65 after FOUR YEARS... did you expect to get to the same point in 2 months?

"pre 30 it took 2days at a time."

yes, it gets slower as you go up. Wait until you get to 50, then it's REALLY slow!

"and i think its pretty unfair that when solo non-twink players save enough pp to gain an item which will finally make them more functional, it get nerfed."

If you saved up enough for this item, there are a lot of other good options.
RE: SOE NERFS

Hah!

Life IS easier for you solo folks without a guild backing and such... have you been to the bazaar lately?

First off, obviously you aren't complaining about the DOoFM because you couldn't possibly have one. If you do have one, and don't have a high level main or anything, you're just proving the case that things really have gotten too easy... simply because you were able to get such an item.

Frankly though, if you spent 8-10k on this before and to you that was alot of money, then you made a stupid purchase. This was always a rather lame item, priced way above what its really worth, sorta like the Windblade.

Unattainable goals? ROFL! You are able to visit any zone that the rest of us went through, some revamped but most not, and you're able to go to bazaar and buy gear more powerful than we could have ever dreamed of back in the day... for a measly amount of plat. With screwed up things like recommended level weapons doing full damage at level 1, your life is soooo much easier.

The best gear around only a few expansions ago is now next to worthless... so worthless, I don't even pick most of it up and just let it rot... not worth cluttering my trader.

If you think the game is too hard, go back and play Diablo 2, its more your style. The game IS easier, and the item in question sucks from level 1 to level 65 (I have one for the heck of it, but spending 8k on an item is next to nothing for me) and I can tell you that it is a waste in most situations, definitely not worth crying over. If you bought it and that was alot of plat to you, well, that was kinda foolish even when it DID proc early.

"but as a non-twink solo player, it is hard as heck to attain better gear and to xp. it take me a week to level through most levels after 30. pre 30 it took 2days at a time"

Sorry, you didn't make any kind of point here other than to say you just don't have the patience to play EQ and should stop wasting your money on it.

I actually agree with Nixoh. Players today have it too easy. As for having an edge, a number of people have dual accounts (or even more) and PL their alts. I got where I am by good old fashion hard work.I was given some armor as a newbie but only because the person got it from the Crushbone Belt quest. Every time I sat down to med until 35th level, I hoped something would not whack me upside the head.

Give you an Edge? SoE has done that and a whole lot more.
RE: SOE NERFS

I am one of those people with 2 accounts. I pl my own toons but everything I have I have earned. I have one of these on my 60 shammie and will be passing it down to another toon as soon as I finish my final epic fight. I agree that this game is getting alot easier than it was, but it truely is a social game and if you just do a little work you can find a guild even a lower end one and get at least mediocre items. It is all about finding the right people.
Price Drop

RE: Price Drop
# Feb 11 2004 at 3:36 AM Rating: Decent
I imagine they will drop in price - SoE have raised the proc level from 1 to 35 to 55 in the space of a few months - these made a very nice partner with the Copper Hammer of Striking for duel-wielders such as Rangers and Monks. Admittedly they were overpowered at 1st level, but they gave you something to look forward to at 35th. 55th seems a long way off, and by then the 320DD proc will either get resisted far more frequently or be a drop in the ocean to equivalent level mobs. Oh well!



RE: Price Drop
# Feb 11 2004 at 3:58 AM Rating: Excellent
The price on Rodcet Nife was already down to 6.5k due to the change from 1 to 35. ::agrees with the price drop due to change to 55::

And, I completely agree with the proc being useless at 55. With 100 dex, the orb might proc 4 times a fight. Of those 4 times, 2 might hit in LDoN dungeons on level 50ish mobs, and forget about trying to get the thing to do damage on most raid encounters on red mobs. Another good item nerfed to near uselessness...

I bought one of these orbs for my cleric at level 52 for one reason and one reason alone, the proc actually enabled me to solo through melee. I sometimes wonder if Sony has purposely realized this fact and now uped the level even farther in an attempt to force "healers" back to groups.

I have to agree. I as a cleric tend to solo or partner with my husband. I was tickled that I could hit something for that much and not have to spend mana. Made life nice. Well, I guess 2 more levels and I will have it back. Kinda sucks though, a bit of a shock when I see "your will is insufficient..." bah. Back to my hammer I guess. I don't think that SOE wants anyone to be able to solo in this game.

I can solo through nukes. Most mobs have too many hit points to be effective manawise though. Clerics were not really meant to be a solo class. I rarely have trouble finding a group though. The trick is finding one that knows what they are doing.

Yeah they drop. There is a list of creatures that drop it to the right of the item info. They sell for around 12k on ARo (ayonae ro).
