It costs A LOT of mana to cast and is a player AOE spell now. The fact it costs so much is not a good idea because most magicians will not have that much mana, a level 60 magician with 255 INT and no MANA modifiers will only have 2836 mana total. A naked magician will not even have half the mana needed. You STILL need around 400 mana in mana modifiers to HAVE just enough to cast this once. They should lower the mana cost of this to around 2500 or lower personally. Also take note that YOU CANNOT use Modulation Rods back to back, or right after a TRod use, either now, as it applies the same 5 minute reuse timer. I can say I am not exactly pleased with this change myself, but I will try it out and let you know about the overall effect. Take care all!<br><br>Here are the new FACTS about these spells...<br>*Old Rods of Mystical Transvergance that was scribed have become Mass Mystical Transvergance.<br>*Mass Mystical Transvergance now costs 3250 mana, and 4.5 seconds (2.5 seconds recast) to cast.<br>*Mass Mystical Transvergance when cast will summon EVERYONE within 300 feet of the caster a Rod of Mystical Transvergance.<br>*There is a NEW spell being sold in the bazaar from the NPC that sells the Magician focus summons. This spell is called Rod of Mystical Transvergance.<br>*Rod of Mystical Transvergance is a targetable summon, and when cast will summon the targeted person a Rod of Mystical Transvergance. This has a range of 300 feet. And this costs 400 mana to cast, 4.5 seconds to cast (2.5 seconds recast).<br>*The resulting item summon IS THE SAME between the AOE and single target version.<br>*The new effect of Mystical Transvergance now decreases your current hitpoints by 450 and increases your current mana by 360.<br>*The new effect CAN ONLY be used once every 5 minutes currently, and there IS NO BUFF SLOT used in this timer either.<br>*Modulation Rods have been changed to be retrofited with the 5 minute REUSE timer as well, so you CANNOT use modulation rods back to back, you MUST wait 5 minutes between uses. And you CANNOT use a modulation rod after you use a Transvergance rod, as they SHARE the same timer.<br>*Modulation Rods ARE STILL NO RENT/LORE/MAGIC ITEM and ARE NOT NO DROP.<br>*The new Rods of Mystical Transvergance ARE NOW NO DROP in addition to LORE/NO RENT/MAGIC ITEM, and have 3 charges of the new effect of Mystical Transvergance.<br><br>UPDATE: New post on EQ Live page about this too... eqlive.station.sony.com/c...p?id=52297<br>UPDATE: Ok here are my thoughts on this...<br><br>First off the mana cost of the new AOE Mass Mystical Transference is a little too high, as most magicians at level 56 will not even HAVE the mana to cast this in the first place. Even a level 60 magician with 255 INT and no mana modifier gear would only have around 2800 mana at most. I estimate most magicians at level 60 would have around 300 or so in mana modifier gear, of course the ones with a lot better gear would have more. But at a mana cost of 3250 would exclude most magicians who have this scribed from being able to cast this. Second I feel, because of the nature of this spell and the fact it effect EVERYONE, I would have a 15 minute RECAST (not reuse) on CASTING the spell. Thirdly I would reduce the reuse timer on using the new TRod to around 1-3 minutes as 5 minutes DOES seem to be a tad long in my play on test server in the period of time the old TRods had that timer on test. 1 minute seemed fine, 3 minutes would be ok, but 5 minutes DOES seem to be long, and having a 1 minute reuse on the rod would not unbalance anything.<br><br>Secondly the new single target summon version of Rods of Mystical Transference NEEDS to have a RECAST timer of 1 to 3 minutes BETWEEN casts, with the same effect as listed about. Recast timers on casting the spell stands to INCREASE the need of having a magician on a raid, not having a recast on these spells DECREASES the need of having more than 1 magician on a raid.<br><br>So in short here is the summary of my recommend changes to this change...<br>*Reduce the mana cost of the Mass Mystical Transference Summon from 3250 to around 2500.<br>*Add a 15 minute RECAST to Mass Mystical Transference Summon.<br>*Add a 1 minute RECAST to the Single Target Rod of Mystical Transference summon.<br>*Reduce the REUSE timer between clicks to 1 to 3 minutes as 5 minutes does seem to be too long.<br><br>The GameMaster...<br><br>Mystis Zephyr, Level 60 Master of the Elements Arch Mage of the Test Realm... <p><table border="0" width="513"> <tr> <td width="85"><b>written by</b></td> </tr><tr> <td width="85"><b>RealLife</b></td> <td width="150">Torsten Raithel</td><td width="100">(Board-Admin)</td><td width="270"><a href="mailto:torsten.raithel@tark-online.de">torsten.raithel@tark-online.de</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="85"><b>EverQuest</b></td> <td width="150">Ghumb Inyourway (Oger-Krieger)</td> <td width="100">Leonore (Elfenbardin)</td> <td width="270"> </td> </tr><td width="85"><b>UltimaOnline</b></td> <td width="150">Eleonora (Barde)</td> <td width="100"></td> </tr></table><br>A small mind is a tidy mind...</p><i></i>
