Scars of Velious
Yep any class that does damage over time would love somthing like this as of now i am a Druid and Dots are what i am living by killing Elysians Snare Root Epic, Es vamb, Small dot, Med Dot, Large Dot, Doing aprox 410 damage pr tick. It takes nearly all my mana and a Kei to do it. Mana saveing would help ton. And in combat Grp wise I Pop mobs last long enough to cast a full set of those dots and have them all but Epic complete befor combat does so I feel i am at least helping some more than just DS, regen and Succor..

Message by Alan from the EQ Developers Forum regarding the patch on 4th Feb 2003...
"We corrected a bug that was allowing these foci to work for too many spell types, including things like snares and slow. Affliction foci now only work on damage over time spells."

Does anyone know what the graphic on these looks like on a Troll?

They are black old-school plate graphic.
Not pitch black, but still dark. Approx the same shade as Shadowknight PoF armor (umbral).
Hope this helps!

I would think that these would be used to the best advantage of the guild getting them on an SK or Necro. Sk's can do an incredible amount of damage in the course of a long fight and now with the new spell stacking they will be even more formidable. Necros would benifit from the mana and the hit points for liching and the effect is VERY nice for them as well. Once they run OOM it is LIFE BURN time and the hit points aids that as well.

Posted: Jul 11 2002 at 7:53 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) as a cleric, and an enc and a shammy, and all other classes except nec and sk, I have a reasonable understanding, and even tho i been playing almost 2 half yrs i am still learning, and in last year i been on prob average 24- 40 hrs a week and see posts all time in researching things and most spend time arguing with other posts, and never getting there facts totally right, u do not need to agree to a roll in any given situation, and if u agree before hand what format your grp or guild/raid will go for then u will have no complaints.

These were changed to Affliction Efficiency III. 7wis 7int 75mana , what caster wouldn't want these? Healer or Non-Healer.

This would be a fantastic item for any class. If you wanted to argue about who should recieve such an item lets follow the NBG rule (as so many flamers do) and give this item to a NON-HEALER class only (seeing as how anyone that can heal does NOT NEED it)
These are now Cleric/Druid then shaman now I'd say.
Maybe an edge to a druid, as Clerics are CHlers alot, which isn't effected by these, while druids are NTing everything in sight. Really would not be upset if someoone of either class got, nor would I have much sympaathy for a member of the loosing class saying "My class needs this more"
Pallies get better boots, anyone putting a need claim on them is laughable, and I would not be caught dead trying to out bid a cleric/druid on these under a DKP system. Monks get the destroyer boots, not these.
/random is for twink gear.

Affliction Efficiency is a -25% Mana Cost to damaging spells. It would be nice for any caster, really.
I'm a druid, and I'd love it. +7 wis? +75 mana? and the AEIII? Gimme.

Affliction Efficiency only applies to DoTs, snares, roots fear etc. It doesn not apply to DD spells.
It only applies to DoTs, Snares, and Roots if they do damage (obviously DoT's will, but except for druid roots, no other root spell will be affected by this, and except for necro snare, no other snare will be affected by this since it doesn't work on item effects; what I mean by that is that IF it worked on item effect spells such as the druid epic effect, it would "save" you mana for casting that spell, but since it cost you no mana to begin with...yeah you see where I'm going).
This affects ALL detrimental spells of greater than 6 ticks - Snares, DoTs, Slows, Tash, Malo, and probably Mezzes too. As such, in a raid context, it's probably of most use to a Shaman or Enchanter, followed by Necromancers and Druids. PS: As a 57 Druid, I was able to land my Magic-based DoTs on mobs like Derakor the Vindicator without any problems once Tash/Malo had landed, so the comment about how much they are resisted is wide of the mark.

Also Malo, Turgur insect (the best slow, period)
If this goes to nec in stead of shm....that is sad.
and yes only nec and shm then dru should get this.
in raid like NToV dru's job is not dot the heck out of a mob (likely u will get lots of resist anyway due most dru dot is magic based)
Nec has better dot alrite but REMEMBER even a shm is lvl 65 he/she still use Turgur and Malo (unless u got malos already), and this item cute mana cost by 25% is the greats asset to them.
Many mob in high end zone doesn't get slow by one shot..it takes lots cast (watch aggro management)
Malo =300mana Turgur =275 mana and I bet in a bad luck case a shm will have to cast like 5times slow + 1malo/malosini before nec's 2 or 3 dot runs out(I dont play nec not sure how many dot affect by AF3 they use often in raid, my guess is 3, and if they stack too fast = dead nec)

Got a pair last night. Usually this stuff isn't randomed. It's done by merit. Taint many Randoming guilds gonna be able to handle the dragons that drop this stuff.
For shaman we get Agrro'd on A LOT due to malise, Slow, and healing here and there. Something about slows really pisses off mobs lol.
Anyways thought you'd remember that shm go for AC NOT wisdom for the most part.

Well, as a bit of an off the subject with the previous posts good item. But as a loot situation; I'd say to all of the tanks (And yes monks included) If you get to roll on this then let everyone roll on CoF. This is one of those situations where you aren't going to find this item very often and it should go to those who get the most use of it, end of story. You don't roll me on this and I won't roll you on yer CoF, or CoCW, or that Haste Bracer from Veli :P

7 wis/int +75 mana isnt that good for casters? please pass whatever crack u are smoking...these own GEBS 10x over

I would be very suprised to see these go to a warrior.
By the time a warrior would be here odds they would have Kael or SS quest boots. Since this place has neg faction for SS then probably Kael. Kael war boots = 32 ac.
Plate quest boots are pretty common drops in ToV.
BTW. Eduin has some good posts...though the loot order is not necessarily set like this for all zones.

Right after you kill something that has good loot, I train the zone using a technique i shall not disclose, while you simpletons run I grab the loot, I've done this before. I'll do it again. In your face EQ junkies.
