Just what the fuck is all this horse shit about...

Even if not WAI just wtf works with what?

Nobody seems to know but I've seen several half ass posts on the princess forums hinting at this...

But havn't successfully reproduced the effect in game.

I've heard that heal scrolls are getting the benefit of any spell power enhancements and/or items that boost healing spells, but I can't be bothered to actually check that because I'm not touching my healer for the next couple of months except for guild requests for raids.  I have no idea whether this actually has an impact on Reconstruct scrolls since I rarely use them now, but the few that I've used didn't seem to produce unusually large numbers.

Here is a list of the useful spell power prefixes.
Combustion
Corrosion
Devotion
Glaciation
Impulse
Magnetism
Nullification
Potency
Radiance
Reconstruction
Resonance

(I listed Resonance even though it boosts Sonic damage and all of the sonic damage spells are shitty.)

All of the Inferno/Brilliance/etc clickies are pretty much crap now.  +20 spell power on top of what you already have isn't really noticeable.  I don't even bother with the Eardweller because it makes those stupid larvae that take up inventory spaces.


By the way, the "heal scrolls get boosted" information shouldn't really count as Fight Club since there was a long discussion about that on the DDO forums over the course of several threads.

Here in the vault,
You can be called a fucknugget, a retard.
You can be asked to find a fire and live there comfortably.

But nothing is more hurtful and depressing than having this reply not given to you.

Considering people are still trying to figure out how bugs older then sin work, we must.

Sorry? Were you looking for a reach around Smiley

I believe someone in party said something to the effect of...

Ding "Mokune has died"

"It's about time it was your turn"

effing tharaak hounds

Spell Power affecting spells cast from items is a bug, and will be changed in a future update. Sorry, but those uber scroll and wand bonuses aren't working as intended.


Not at all surprising, but here it is.

Yep. Only question is, they gonna do the typical nerf it from orbit, or actually take a look at why their wands and scrolls suck for most folks.

There's nothing wrong with them. It's us, the player base. We just don't run the content right. We should run everything on casual 4 levels below us with god mode turned on, just like them. Then maybe our 3-wizard past life characters can use wands other than repair serious, and scrolls other than heal, rez, recon, and inscribing.

I am 100% convinced that they have a versioning issue they can't get a handle on.

My 'vision' based on dev comments is that each dev has either a vm or a personal box that has server code on it they use to test - and updates/patches are modular.  What happens is stuff gets put into the game and 'fixed' and then 3 months later someone working on another issue or item has an old version of the files - but updated with whatever they are working on.

This causes the file to look *newer* and thus it gets checked in and old bugs resurface.

There are way to many 'this was fixed and suddenly it's back' issues that happen.

But that's just my theory.

Why doesn't really matter.  The fact that people seem so surprised by it is.  Then they can't figure out how to replicate it, even though it is already ALL OVER THE WEB FROM THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED.

Sometimes I just want to shoot people, preferably by surprise with an exit door right behind me in a crowded room.

Yes but you'd need to color your hair orange - side effects seem to be going into a stupor at your court hearing and having 100's of twitter skeezes call you hot.
