Gate & Mords Sword

both of these spells are a duration of 1 round / level based on caster level yet Mords Sword last a lot longer than Gate and Gate lasts just long enough to perform a "show and tell" at high caster levels... perhaps a dev could correct this? 1 of the 2 spells are broken, its either Gate or Mords Sword, which has the correct duration?

longer durations in general would be great for pure class casters.

Agreed, the durations of the highest level summon spells are a bit wimpy - and Dragon Knight or Mummy Dust aren't always easy to get immediately, depending on your build.

aye , the lvl 9 gate is a laugh riot, if you are say a lvl 18 cleric and accidentally summon it before you buff --- by the time you are done buffing the summon has already expired.

but who relies on the gate summons anyways :lol:

from the change log:

Summon duration also modified

Spell Level Duration
5 casterlevel * 10
6 casterlevel * 8
7 casterlevel * 6
8 casterlevel * 4
9 casterlevel * 3

so mords as level 7 should last twice as long as gate as level 9.

By those numbers, Gate cast by a level 18 should last 54 rounds--5.4 turns. I've seen it vanish at the end of a buff cycle.... I don't think it's working correctly.

I will take a look at the duration.

The duration now matches the proper lvl 9 ie lvl*3 it will be available after the next server rebuild.
