Update - 2/17

What's the deal with the new Avatar of Grenth? It's like Tainted Flesh on acid (only less helpful in PvP since it doesn't actually protect your teammates).

trying battle for LA solo with painful bond, and this spirit bug..for the lol.

it seems to trigger sprit leech aura as well

Well for level 7 I dunno...but Pious Haste is fully maintainable for perma IMS. Doubt anything will chase after you at level 7.


Edit: Nvm, being retarded.
They should leave BuH the way it is, 60 damn seconds is how long it takes. It's awesome for Rit teams, already saw someone advertising for a buhway team.

Yes, but when you bring the spirits back they only do 1/3rd the damage they did before they die. I tested it out several times.

EDIT - And yes, duplicating several times reduces the damage to zero.

I won't knock it until I try it but not the type of update I was looking for... I mean, did you really need to do that to Ural's?

Still, some of the dervish skills look nice but I just can't get over that. It was powerful but it's a PvE only skill!

Intensity is sad since you basically need to do spike damage for it to be any good. If it were 50% more for EVERY spell it'd be different, but 50% for one spell every 10 seconds is not worth using for spammy skills.

50% will be good with Invoke though. (140 on casters = 70 on everything in nearby)

If anything it will be a buff to stuff like lightning orb, Stoning/Ebon hawk, Fireball, meteor, lightning hammer, rodgort's invocation.

Nice nerf to BuH and Asuran Scan. AoHM got hit bad.

Tested it with a friend. The additional spirits don't do any damage and it appears when 1 gets hit each copy also takes the same amount of dmg. Nothing really changes, it's just a visual bug.

Heart of Fury is ridiculous. And is it just me or is Dust Cloak now better at inflicting blindness then Blinding Surge (an elite)?

Oh, and yeah I immediately thought of air magic with intensity. Chaining it with stuff that already does aoe like invoke seems viable.

Uhmm, Painfulbond and Spiritleech aura disagree with you.

Been doing more tests with W/D scythe and also a pure Derv. On the plus side, Derv is actually more kill efficient than the W/D. There's still the W/D being more devastating than before the update, but not any better than a derv.

Hero AI is meh. They seldom use their Flash Enchantments, but when they do it's like chaos wearin skirts.

BUH:

It also works with summons and ranger pets. Flame Djinn army, or your own personal imp army!!!

I love this.

I'd say it's best with Spiritleech aura since it doesn't care if the targets hexed or not but...PB will do some retarded damage if you can actually scrunge the enemies.

This is very interesting...I hope we at least have a week with this bug if not more.

I'm getting... inconsistent results with the revived spirits.

Some of the time, they're hitting for zeros and triggering spiritleech for 15.
Other times, they'll hit for zero, but spiritleech won't register.
Yet other times, they're attacking, but no damage indicator is shown at all.

:-/

Not that I could take much advantage of this anyway... Playing R/Rt and just using H/H, so I can't keep more than a couple of sets up at a time. :-\

I guess the BUH abuse will end when someone at Anet pops in and takes a look in here. Which will probably be around the time I get home from work. Darn, lol.

Best i got was 5 (yes pic has 4) but only seemed like 1 was attacking? doing damage?

There are plenty of us from the Krewe who are still loitering around to identify, confirm, and report all of the bugs you all are sharing with us.

SPYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

On another note I'm wondering if BuH works on allies like say Livia / Gadd during that one quest.

Possibly, anyways for the most part it's ineffective unless used in a team..atleast for a secondary rit. With the spirits doing no damage unless you boost them with PB and spirit leech aura, your bar starts to suffer. Raising enough spirits also just sadly does not happen. If anything while you can kill something quick with a spirit spike, it's more efficient (if solo farming with a /rt) to do just one spirit.
They make for decent body blocking though.

Identify, confirm and report that Pious Haste is making my sin cry whenever it looks at Dash.
Where the hell was the obligatory 51% Dash or 60% dash
