So, I just got my Violet Conch of the Tempest, http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=118756 Went to cast, and doesn't stack with Paladin self buff Armor of Formidable Faith/Spirit... Doesn't this spell share the same spell line as Cloak of Spurs? which does stack with Armor of blah blah blah?... Was quite disappointed after camping this for 4-6 hours, then just have it rot in back. Any chance of this getting changed?
It appears to have stacking issues with, Pally, Cleric,Ranger, Druid, Chanty, Mage, Wizzy, and Neccy self buffs. It may have problems with some procs and songs, also. Looks like the only ones that can get a use out of this clicky would be SK's, Beasts, Rogues, Warriors and Monks.
No, this is a different spell line then cloak of spurs. This was a self only, smaller DS that stacked with a lot of different things and used to have a number of rare items in game with the 3 DS version and the 4 DS version from Tunare (girdle of living thorns; cloak as well but, that was rng/dru only).
It's from the dru/rng self buff line. It has some conflicts with other self buff lines, notably the shielding lines for casters.
The ranger Cloak of Spurs(etc) spell line you're thinking of is the same slot DS as standard worn back slot click.
The caster self buffs also conflict with shm focus, so forget those. gcubed didn't even list three of EQ's sixteen classes, so you both fail at basic counting. It's good for twelve out of sixteen classes, which is way better than, say, Blood Drinker's Coating or the Burning Sash of Ro. You haven't lamented missing out on the previous iteration of this chase item, which you had thirteen years to get and to lack utility from, so probably shouldn't freak out about this one.
It's obviously a tank item, and there is not 12 tanking classes in EQ. Blood drinker's was good for 9 classes, or maybe 10... dunno I can't count. While this conch is good for... 5 classes (Ber, Monk, Rog, Warrior, Beast, Bard/SK's maybe). And i've only been playing for 5 years.
oops, yeah meant to say SK's And holy crap... good thing I quit camping tunare after 2 months!, would have been a total waste!
Which name did you camp for it? My 3 main toons being sk/rog/mnk, will have to camp 3 of these and hate tempest
Strangacul, has like 2 million hp. Can solo without a merc!. Took about 7 kills tho... and in tempest
Bet it was mainly for Rangers and blah blah druids are ranger's, rangers are druid whatever... cause what druid needs 13 DS and 72 AC... a better tank.
Dude, keep up. Druids use Daggerspur Coat now, level 103: 2:Increase AC by 297 3:Increase Damage Shield by 78
