Fixed Internally Grasping Bones VII - Not in recipe books

Do they not realize we are Necromancers and WILL continue to haunt them about this even after death!

Maybe they'll give it to us for the live launch of NoTD?
I can imagine the announcement: "New for NoTD this year, Grasping Bones will once more rise from the floor and grasp Necromancer's enemies!"

Still waiting, DBG.

That would be awesome!

Maybe, just maybe (fingers crossed) it will happen like Whilhelmina suggested at the beginning of NoTD.

Do you think you could give us an indication of when this might happen. We've already been waiting 10 months.

My mind boggles that adding spells to game is now classed by DBG as hard.
Just a reminder that this spell can be researched and paid for with $'s. I surely can't be the only one that finds that incredibly distasteful.

Can the database guys add an internal counter to this spell also, to see how many times the people in here whining for it actually use it?

Wouldn't it be hilarious to see 0 spellcasts....because roots aren't needed nor have much of an effect in the highest tier...

I totally agree, let's just remove all spells from crafting books from now on and only be able to find a master or pay $$$$$$$ to advance them. Sounds great! Regardless of this spell use it is pathetic that it isn't craftable but you can spend money to advance it, stop being so narrow minded just because it's not one you deem worthy. I'm sure you'd be kicking off if it was one of your mains spells. Grasping bones is used for Tainted Healing btw and it isn't a root but a stun.

My post wasn't directed at the fact the spell is cash-buyable, stuff like that should be expected by now and ought be ignored if it's triggering. And funnily enough, necromancer is a class I raid with often. I'm "kicking off" now because this is laughable, and rioting on forums over a useless spell you still won't cast is laughable. I admit I got the spell's effect wrong, but it doesn't matter. a 5 second stun, holy smokes we're going to be unstoppable. You realize there are better things to cast to heal your pet, right? As little often as that matters to begin with. How about Mortality Mark, or Siphoning of Souls, where it ACTUALLY does something to go along with it?

Do you even know if upgrades to this spell will increase it's duration, or resistability? Because the journeyman level shows no improvement. Previous versions show there's never an increase to duration, and resistability is a small improvement, at best. Why would I even waste rares to craft this? And I'm narrow minded.

Hahaha, who's triggered and rioting? If you think it's laughable just ignore it. It does matter if a mob is root but not stun resistant btw. You're missing my whole point though, if they can get away with a few spells missing why not keep adding more?. We've already seen how they treat crafting now.

Your point was bad sarcasm and insulting me for calling out this absolute meme of a thread and waste of dev resources? I got that crystal clear.

If you can't take it back then don't call an entire thread 'whiners' your post and attitude deserved exactly what it got, end of story.

If it doesn't affect you, move on.
Maybe next expansion they'll leave one of your spells out of game. Yeah that's right, the necro spell is not the only one missing. And don't you find it odd that after all these years they're not capable of adding spells to recipe books? I wonder that.

The count would be fairly low considering it's not in game above apprentice, unless you pay to upgrade it. Although it's been updated to effect raid encounters, I don't think apprentice level will cut it, do you?
Also it's more a stun than a root, but whatever.

And snap! I raid with a Necro too!

I sure hope if they do it's as inconsequential as this one

Thanks for the bump. But I'm pretty sure you're not the bug forum police, so maybe stay out of the thread if it doesn't concern you?

well to be fair, stuns (and other cc) are important now wrt. stacks from engaging multiple mobs in challenge/expert

Just started back playing and found this post - is that the problem with my Pally spell "Resolute Faith V"? It's bugged and not available?

Yes that spell hasn't been upgraded since I think level 54 or something but you can research it now to upgrade it. That's the big joke.

Yep, it's the same problem with the Pally spell. We did get a bit more vocal than the Pally, probably because pallies are nice guys and necros are evil, but we're the two classes with the problem.

Bumping up just for kicks!

NoTD is upon us! Give us our bones!
