Whatever it is, it means I have to hunt czeska tonight.

40+ dmg and a stun, on a fairly low ending roll. Hell, I'd be estatic. You spent 8 mana, the creature is hurt, and stunned, two or three hits and your in like a fat chick in a thong!

[Drew]

Looks like you got targetting 635.

[Wezas]

Hmm, I may need to pull Zezas out of hiding.

[Chadj]

Meh. I agree with Palon, not nearly as strong as it could be.

[Kuyuk]

The spell rocks.


Low endroll = 50ish damage with stun.

OMG IT DIDNT INSTANT KILL. IT SUX0RS!!!!!11111

Neither is any spell in Gemstone. Except 302. But if you want to be a cleric, don't be a paladin. Nuff said.

As I understand it, paladins aren't meant to be very strong magically anyway. If you want to be a pure caster with strong magic, be a pure caster. Duh.

[Pallon]

I'd probably always go for single-target 1030 with a twohanded instrument for a shitload more damage, but I suppose it's a nice alternative to 409. Young bards/those without 1030 will probably get more use out of it than me.

[Xenostrus]

I am fine with the spell but what pisses me off is that YOU FRIGGIN GET ARRESTED JUST FOR SINGING IT IN TOWN. I sung the damn song at myself and got arrested for endangering public safety. How the hell does a CS based spell that doesnt cause mass destruction endangers public safety.

[Soulpieced]

I'll say I might actually use this song every once in a while for crowd-control purposes.

[Norator]

As a young bard, I jes use it for hobgoblins on my way back from trolls, my CS still sucks so...it's pointless on anything I actually learn from, in my experiences thus far. But..I like it more than mass holding, and used it at least once so...it's gotten more use than mass holding did, lol. Least now it's a song I'll use.

[AnticorRifling]

I can hit the things my bard hunts and he's 23. I'm guessing around 15-20 you can start actually using the spell in limited capacity in hunting. It's good if I've got a bunch of creatures in the room, I'll sing at a few to stun then swing them to death.

[Amaron]

I have only 7 ranks of air lore so it doesn't do much for me and I miss half the time... either bad training or crappy rolls.

Hopefully with more air lore it will get better.

[AnticorRifling]

My bard has no lore and he hits.

[Amaron]

ughh

I mised 1/3 times I used it...


grumble

Must just be crappy rolls.

[AnticorRifling]

Well it's CS based so you could just be at a point in your training where the creatures you're hunting are a little more beefed up TD wise and you just can't hit them. It happens.

[StrayRogue]

WTF? You semi's want a spell that KILLS things? The entire notion of the semi professions is magic ASSISTED combat. It does a nice bit of damage, stuns etc. Christ your like the Rangers whining about how they can't hunt exclusively with Spike anymore. Try and understand this: YOU'RE NOT MEANT TO.

Who are you yelling at?

Posted by me:

Most bards I've talked to seem to be in that camp of thought a few bitch about it not killing but most like what it does.

[StrayRogue]

Oh not you Anticor, rather the host of Bards who are saying it sucks.

[Nieninque]

And dont bring Rangers into this you fucking English Bastard

:P

Agreed. Like.. lullabye should not kill. This spell is STUNNING shout. Not Blowyourassup Shout.

Also, kiramon holding their heads and growing pale is funny.

Good idea. For one week a month, all females should get that.
