Hey, im lvl 39 Marksman and im looking for a Marksman to test leveling with the Ignus Scorch area Spell in a group.You should have it lvled it to lvl4 or 5. If anybody is interested in, contact "Enio Ardaien" ingame or leave your name here.. See you,
Enio

I've played a Conjurer in some AoE groups where I think the Marksmen used this spell. The spell would aggro everything on my screen. It's pretty dangerous cause the aggro can switch, depending on how the AoE's are used and if mobs switch, it can be hard to target the ally to heal him once he's surrounded by mobs.

Ignus spell appears to have been "partially" fixed. It doesn't aggro everything in a 360 degree radius... frequently. I once used it several times while a MOB was right beside me while I was trying to kill a stalkered hunter and the MOB didn't aggro. Other times, it seems to still be bugged and aggro everything around me.

Undefined: I think he already knows the side-effect of this spell, I'm guessing that if enough marksmen cast this spell at lvl4-5 to a group of MOBs they can easily kill a few MOBs at once. Personally, I think it's just too much of a hastle and very risky :P

Of course i know the "sideeffect" and.. yes its a bit of haste. I often use it when lvl alone. the problem is when i hit-> turn aound-> run till mobs stand still-> take position to hit again -- often it happens some of them start going back some metres and i have problems hitting them all with a single shot. if another Mark would hit them while they follow me so they would engage him and go after him until i hit again.. it would be nice i think. that is what i wanted to try out. But it seems nobody likes this idea..

I thought you might want to try it that way. The main problem is the cooldown: 8 seconds. It'll be hard to time your casts with the other marksman and at the same time avoiding getting hit by many MOBs. I reckon if there are two of you both will still have to run back and forth a lot. 3 Marksmen may make it easier but that'll also mean you'll spread the spell over a wider area and thus Aggroing more MOBs than you can handle.

Still, if you guys ever get the chance to try it out let us know how it goes

_Enio_ · 09-18-2007, 12:38 PM

Great Milk, perhaps we can try it this evning..

The cooldown fits very well when doing this alone as u need some time to get the mobs to stop following.. i think a shot evry 4 -6 seconds is exactly what is needed in a party.. the aggro range hmm... i think its a bit tricky but can work pretty well.. you will get some hits of course, thats normal with Ignus scorch as it is for normal leveling alone without conj and doing 5 mobs in a row without resting..

Another big problem is the get enough mobs at a place.. so you will at the end have perhaps 4- 7 killed and some more who have only been hit once or twice which u kill then with normal attacks.. We'll try this and report

Edit:
And,
when its laggy you can totally forget this.. than its only a pain..

Been doing this "ignus-area spell-mass killing" but without the help of two conj its kinda hard to keep it going for some time (keep 3 marks alive and with mana its not an easy task). Ok, you can time it, but with Ignus scorch you never know what's going to happen.

GL with that, i dont know if the exp you get is in average more than the one you'll get lvling the normal way, but at least it's pretty fun to accomplish.

cheers.

EDIT:
Btw, today i was lvling (i'm 44 now!) and tried to do this by my own. Had like 1400 hp left, casted ignus, hit 4 mobs but 7 come to my encounter. I was hit 7 times in less than a second for about 1900 hp.

Free trip to the save was that.

NightTwix · 09-18-2007, 10:34 PM

well its fun to group some mobs with ignus and then cast a lighning arrow.
best is when you do that with a warlock together.

but its more a distraction to monoton leveling

_Enio_ · 09-19-2007, 05:04 AM

As i couldnt come on tonight nothing new but..
Dee-luxX, you have to
- take position in the middle of the mobs
- cast ignus (what you aim doesnt matter here) and immediately run (run forwards only) in one direction and hope not being hit too much
- run until mobs let off of you
- turn around, take a good position
-cast ignus, immediately turn around and run until mobs let off of you..
-repeat some times..

i end up normally with mana at 200 and hp around 60 %..
then i kill the remaining tarnished mobs normally...

The only bad thing with the other Area Spells is the mana they need and the cooldown ... 500 mana for lvl5 and 120 sec i think.. Ignus is 190 mana and 8 sec. But in a Group this can work too yes, and of course makes some fun..
