good idea

Re: Necromancer FAQ w/Skill Gain Guide

mein gott man! looks great. My only suggestion would be harder facts on the spells. UO descriptions are notoriusly vaque. For instance, the lich form also gives 13 MR.

My favorites are descriptions like hit lower defense:"lowers opponents defense for a short period of time".

And you gave me a LOVELY idea for the FAQ forum! Thank you Zeke!!!!

Re: Necromancer FAQ w/Skill Gain Guide

Awesome FAQ! I've been playing a Necro/Mage for three years now almost, primarily in pvp, but of course I've tore up some champ spawns too. I've got alot of advice on how to play a necro, and necro/mage in particular, and would be happy to post it when I have some time

Re: Necromancer FAQ w/Skill Gain Guide

That would be great! We could use a tactics guide for all of the skills. Starting with necro is a great place!
When you do, start it in a new thread. I will stickie it for you (and give you any help / advice you may need).

Re: Necromancer FAQ w/Skill Gain Guide

Is the info on curse weapon correct? I mean with 100 ss, the curse weapon buff doesnt last longer than 2.5 seconds...

I was interested in this too. Why such a small bonus to the timer?

Also, so that people don't take it the wrong way, I'd like to note that Curse Weapon ends after the first hit. You can't gain health from multiple hits casting it once.

Edit: just checked the UO playguide.

"Effect: Briefly enchant your weapon to gain the power of life drain. While enchanted, the weapon will heal its wielder with 50% of the damage it deals out. Duration in Seconds = Caster's Spirit Speak x 10 ÷ 34 + 1. (30 seconds at GM, or about 36 seconds at Legendary)"

Re: Necromancer FAQ w/Skill Gain Guide

Curse weapon doesn't end after the first hit. It lasts for the full duration (about 30 seconds at gm as UO playguide says). I use it daily, so I can promise you this is how it works.

Re: Necromancer FAQ w/Skill Gain Guide



So sorry, don't mean to confuse anybody. I was informed wrong by guildmates.

Also, how could I be so dumb, it was RIGHT THERE in what I copypasted.

Thanks for correcting me. It sounds much, much better if it lasts 30+ seconds.
