if you don't mind letting us in on the secret, in which fights do you believe this is a good spell to cast?
What is relevant to this specific bug thread is not the merit of one play style over another, but the fact that the craftable upgrade for this spell is missing from the books. This spell is not alone. Warder's Ferocity II is also missing from the (other) books. These are bugs, being reported as bugs, in the forum where said bug reports are allowed a warm and safe space to exist (even if they are otherwise completely ignored).
From what I saw in the tradeskill forum, the paladin spell Resolute Faith V is also missing (from Shadow Alchemist 120). Regular spells, whether they're relevant or not should always be in the TS book of that level, period. I cast gasping bones once in a while, mainly because I like that spell (after all, it was in the original EQ2 preview video!) and sometimes when I want to get some more time to get to my other char for extra-damage and all (I two-box on same computer on same screen, which means alt-tabs and stuns are useful while I alt-tab to my healer or dps or whatever the second char is ; and no, it's not the most efficient way to play, thanks, but I've done it for years and I like it).
Please can we have the missing spells put in recipe books in the next patch. I honestly think we've waited long enough now. And tbh I don't have to justify how or why I use this spell. If this spell only being available by paying for it doesn't affect you, don't post in the thread. But thank you for the bump.
Thank you for the bump, kind internet troll. And yes you’re correct, three months is long enough to wait for a spell recipe to be added to game. I’m possibly not the only necromancer in game though, just a thought. Or maybe it’s a new feature? Leave one spell out of game for each class, with the only way to obtain it, is paying for it.
3 months in and still waiting for spells to be added to recipe books. Is this really that big a fix that we have to keep waiting? This is easily the worst and laziest expansion to date. Absolutely appalling.
Is it time to add the missing spells to our recipe books yet? Considering the missing spells can be upgraded by paying for them, I wouldn't think it would be that hard to add them in-game. Grasping Bones VII add it. And while you're at it, add the other classes spells that are missing.
I can confirm that the paladin spell Resolute Faith V is missing from both the 120 essentials and advanced alchemist books. I don't have the expert book yet. EQ2U confirms that no such recipe exists in the game. Please add the missing recipes, for all classes!
Missing spells have been reported since BoL released. Do you think we could have some hint that it's being looked at? Does anyone at DP even bother reading the Bug Forum?
