SPOILER: Sunfist society powers talk

[Rimalon]

In addition to the +20 from the Offense sigil, Major Bane adds +10 as well. So it's +30 total.

I'm fairly sure Major Protection adds +10 to DS, too. But I've had too many spells on lately to calculate.

[septus]

wonder if the duration will go up as you keep doing stuff for them. those durations are way too low for the non bane/protections

Snow covers the large rocks and boulders that have found a perch along the mountainside. Further below, majestic spruce, maple and aspen trees decorate the slopes, but not here. This far up the mountain, only a few stunted scrub pines have managed to take root. You also see a natural rock stairway.

It seems that Minor Bane works against non-Grimswarm and non-allies of Grimswarm

As per Belnia:

Sigil of Concentration After review and further testing, the bonus on this is +5 mana per pulse, my initial calculations were WRONG!

[mgoddess]

Zarak clasps you on the the shoulder and continues, "In any event, I have now taught you all that I know and welcome you as a fellow master of the Guardians of Sunfist. Congratulations, <name>. While you are no longer required to perform tasks for my recognition, you may still acquire tasks from the taskmaster, earning valuable life experience and prestige amongst your peers. The Grimswarm is still unbowed and your solemn oath to us will never be fulfilled until they are, so continue to fight on while using your now complete skills to our greatest advantage. Bring glory to us all, Master <name>!"

Hot damn. So people can go fight Grimswarms anywhere in where there's warcamps... That is very sweet. (Level 100 Grim's in River's Rest? Sure! Level 5 Grim's in Ta'Illistim? Sure!)

This society is looking very, very hot for semi's and possibly empath's (who don't mind not having Staunching or Wracking). I'm contemplating very hard switching my main (a paladin) over... and if (for some odd reason) it doesn't work, she'll have a lovely society reset.

According to Belnia:

I timed the Protections, they seem to last one minute.
I timed the Banes, they seem to last one minute.
Focus lasts one minute.
Resolve lasts for 90 seconds.

I was totally on board with switching over until I saw this post. Those are some really crappy durations. Unless something with the prestige points turns out to make the durations longer I believe that I am going to have to pass. I am already spending enough time refreshing cman focus, surge and warcry shout during my hunts, adding two or three more will turn hunting into a multitasking nightmare. Disappointing.

[Fallen]

I'm fairly sure Prestige points do not do anything. Someone asked Coase during an assist and he said there wasn't any current mechanical benefit to them as of yet.

I suggested on the boards that they are used to raise durations...because yah, they suck.

[upperguy]

My claid doesn't need to do a random 4-10 more damage per hit.

major bane is crit weighting

So the padding stacks damage to crit or vice versa but does not stack the same? Masterfully crit padded armor + the heavy crit padding from the sigil?

Yeah, but say you have one of those Black Ash Mattocks.. with 30 + pts of damage weighting .... umm do you see where I'm getting at?

thats what i was asking too

According to Belnia (again) on the Officials:

Sigil of Offense and Sigil of Defense last for 5 minutes.

Oh that's way better. Thanks.
