Magic 3.1 comments

Created at the request of GM Kodius as a page to collect magic complaints in 3.1. This is not an official page on which to report bugs; it is intended to be a central list for the convenience of GM staff and the DR community. To report a bug, please ASSIST or use the BUG command in-game, or post on the appropriate DR message board.

When you make an entry below, please include a timestamp --~~~~ (the squiggly lines button in the command bar just above the edit window) just like you would on a talk page.

If/when an issue is resolved, please go back and strikethrough your entry by enclosing it with <s> and </s> to indicate the issue has been closed. Please keep the main page's list concise. Long discussions may go on the talk page.

General

• Debilitation cyclics are on the standard cyclic exp curve. They should get the same exemption as TM cyclics.--Antendren 19:04, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Bard

• Perceiving isn't messaging the mana consumption of cyclics properly: "You sense the Glythtide's Joy spell upon you, which will last until you fail to provide 1020 mana for it."--Antendren 19:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
• The replacement effect of Misdirection is a problem, because of its strange nature as a combination buff/debuff. Discussed here and here.--Antendren 19:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
• Pulse-to-group isn't working correctly. It doesn't respect "cast self" (which should suppress the pulse-to-group), and it's only affecting people grouped at the time of casting.--Antendren 19:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
• Cast options aren't working correctly for Albreda's Balm. "cast" behaves like "cast area", "cast area" behaves like "cast creatures", and "cast creatures" behaves like "cast".--Antendren 19:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
• Eye of Kertigen is useless.--Antendren 19:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
• Aewo's debuff to mana regen isn't working.--Antendren 19:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
• AoT doesn't display duration. All languages are achieved at 40 mana, but the cap is 100.--Antendren 19:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
• DALU is missing a line break in the cast messaging: "You release an accompaniment of elemental water into the music, as your humming intensifies. You begin to glissando to each new pitch heightening the hypnotic effect.Roundtime: 3 sec."--Antendren 19:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
• Some bards are finding that DEMA doesn't have a reliable affect on enemy balance.--Antendren 19:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
• DRUM isn't replace casting. A second cast of DRUM is simply ignored.--Antendren 19:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
• RAGE has a number of frustrating issues: it doesn't buff thrown weapons; it doesn't buff both weapons when dual wielding; if you pull out a weapon and then put it away, it doesn't switch back to buffing brawling; it takes a while for the buff to switch. All of these could be resolved by just having it buff all the weapon skills all the time.--Antendren 19:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
• RESO is really annoying in its current form: it only buffs one weapon at a time, and it's a pain to switch weapons with it. Also, please let it affect brawling gear.--Antendren 19:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Thief

--Sneeky 20:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC) Sneeky in 3.0 can utilize spar and skulk. As of every test I've tried in 3.1, standing, sitting, delayed, instant, he cannot use either. All that I can come up with is that the magic "grandfathering" is simply not enough for low-to-mid level characters. Perhaps a sliding scale, I don't know. I just know that when 3.1 drops, if it's set the way it is now, my character will be rendered unplayable.

Warrior Mage

Y'ntrel Sechra is essentially useless once you have ~300 ranks of armor --Elriic 19:49, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
