Subject: RE: More secret nerfing


I'm only a lowly 22d level bard and have spent most of the past few levels
in Unrest. I don't think I have ever fought any mob that was buffed with
SOW/SOC. How many types of mobs are we talking about here? I'm guessing
that the only mobs who can cast SOW/SOC are shamans. How much of an impact
is this? If camping these shaman-type mobs that can cast SOW/SOC are like
most of the places I've been, as soon as they spawn the campers are all over
them. Do they even have time to cast the SOW buff before they are attacked?
As I said earlier I've never fought a mob that was buffed with SOW, but I
see this as a problem only if they have time to cast their buffs before they
are attacked.

Guess I'll find out on my own soon when I make 23d level.
