Might not want to post that on the officials. They may consider those guys too elemental to animate.

[kgolfer]

SORC'S ARE OVERPOWERED.....NERF! NERF! NERF!

I wish my companion was THAT overpowered!


BTW, nice clips.

[Loagan]

Someone animate a Warlock from the rift. I'd like to see that.

[Drew]

Is the house of paupers amulet pretty active?

[Fallen]

Someone animate a Warlock from the rift. I'd like to see that.

I BELIEVE you cannot take rift creatures from the Rift. Are they corporeal undead? Are they BCS?

[zhelas]

You can't bring a creature out of the rift area. You can animate them while you are in the rift.

Of course things could have changed. But if you were to try and bring a N'ecare through the mirror or door it wouldn't follow you

Peace
