Lord_Frodo said: What summons are you using? The only 1 Summon possible, Energy Vortexes.... Why is it the only 1 viable ? Because RC and Reapers are 5 slots and, thus, require the spellcaster to remain on foot which, with Greater Dragon…

Jepeth said: Hey, 'meh' all you want. While I generally opt for balanced gameplay in most situations in this instance I have to go with what we know about dragons from in-lore and out-of-universe fantasy stories. There is no way Smaug or Anca…

Jepeth said: Before the usual suspects show up and the usual responses occur, allow me to offer this perspective: why do you think your character knows more about magic than the magical, ancient, and ruthless dragon? Meh, what about, inste…

Personally, I can live with a reduced spawn rate, and they reduced it LOT as it previously was... if concurrently, @Kyronix increased significantly the chance to get a Fey Artifact drop, un order to compensate the much reduced spawn rate.... Infort…

This just happened to me in Destard.... While I was fighting regular spawn (Spellweaving Mage), a Paragon serpent spawns. I immediately cast a Summoned Reaper next to the Paragon Serpent and hide (I was about 6 or 7 tiles away from it) and stay st…

Lord_Frodo said: So you want the MOBs to act differently than your pet/summon. I take it that you have never notice that your pet changes targets just like the MOBs do. Oh, I sure have noticed that, and that is "also" another issue that…

Petra_Fyde said: popps said: In regards to the faster casting penalty, unfortunately, there is no Spellweaving spell to heal/cure...I wished, that Spellweaving carried an additional spell like the Mysticism's Cleansing Winds.... Not …

Merus said: Norry said: To side with popps, there are times when i cast. Get the animation and frozen, and it just never casts(no fizzle, no mana vamp ect) casting again fixes it. Same here, it’s a bit frustrating. It’s like the t…

McDougle said: Trying to heal while still aggroed by a paragon is pointless invis to break aggro then heal Casting Magery's Invisibility spell, is the first this that I do.... Unfortunately, just like other spells, as i mentioned, even w…

Petra_Fyde said: By far the main reason for casting to fail when in protection is the lack of mana to complete the task. Mobs are annoyingly adept at stealing your mana just when you need it most. An alternative way to heal under such c…

Merus said: Breaking agro before you recall fixes this. Invis (by spell or potion), or area peace are a couple ways to break the agro. That is what I do before I recall.... I always inviso and then recall to buy time since I run protectio…

Mariah said: As @ keven2002 suggested, a magery class mastery helps.. Spellweaving is such a class. The shared spell being 'enchanted summoning' https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/skills/skill-masteries/ Assuming the spellweaving mastery…
