Damage shields

seriouslynow · Post by **seriouslynow** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 11:46 pm

I read the wiki stuff on acid sheath, death armor, and elemental shield but didn't find quite what I was looking for. Do these spells stack here or is only one of them usable at a time? Also, are there any changes/limitations to their durations or dmg they deal?

I can tell you that there are, but we havent had time to research them yet, and are having trouble getting people to post on the wiki.

The wiki can be a very powerful tool for the server, but only if we can get more knowlegable people to help out, instead of the editors and a few select ppl (Elagneros, Peregrin, & Jester mostly).

Only one spell can be active at a time. The DMG returned to the striker is nerfed pretty badly.

I found that elemental shield doesn't give 50% cold immunity... I'm guessing its the same with fire but I haven't tried it.

Most of the stuff I post is equipment related as well, I'm not as knowledgeable about some of the more obscure spell changes.

damage isnt the same as original but its right you cant use more then one and they hurt a little magical shields shouldnt be overwhelming otherwise just put up a couple of them and walk into a crowd of fighters and watch them die while you get a glass of water

The damage has been lowered. From my testing my lvl 25 mage was dealing 9-14 dmg. My guess is its 1d6 + 1/3 levels. Giving a pure mage somewhere around 13-19. Which isnt really too bad if your sitting there with epic warding up.

Another benefit of it is you get Acid DR of how much im unsure yet, but it does absorb upto 2 dmg/level.

As for durations, i think its normal. Extended it outlasted any haste buff, which i believe are 1 round/2 levels.

I've done some tests and udpated the wiki on this. Acid sheath does 1d6 + 1/3 lvls and grants Acid DR 5/- upto 50 dmg, once the DR fails, so does the spell.

Similar with elemental shield, except with fire damage and DR and its 1d6 + 1/5 caster levels.

As for death armor i dont have the spell to test it, maybe someone can do this? or a dev can fill in the blanks?

More like thirty damage acid sheath, at least that's what I am getting from ice giant boss with sheath.

Would be nice to see elemental shield get it's cold immune back

It should have 50% cold immunity - it's in the code correctly.
