recast timers added

[kagrobb]

there were recast timers added to some potions ...
one of the big ones is the cure D line which have a 2 min recast on them. this makes the potion absolutly useless since the Arch Mage Vangus event needs them every 45 seconds and you need to cast it 2 times to clear the Death Touch.
Thanks for the work put into the revamp but this makes the potions worthless.

Maddoc may re-adjust the timers...

But 80 disease/poison counters was a bug in the first place. Yes maybe a long standing bug, but despite that, a bug.

new system would have been 160... actually would have been 700.... not acceptable.

now it is limited to 35 counters (what the top disease/poison potion does) every two minute. It MAY get adjusted down, with a chance it may be 30 seconds..... maybe... it will be up to Maddoc

Thats gonna make AM really hard. The way that encounter was designed potions where really the only realistic option.

Other than shaman each group will require at least 2 curers to be able to cure the curse and they will pretty much be doing nothing but that and you've still gotta manage to heal the ae damage some how. If you don't have a ton of shaman this is gonna hurt bad.

hmm

Two swigs of potion was pretty silly imho.

The recast timer does make the AMV encounter significantly harder though.

Even 1 swig with a longer spell cast time would be better.

It was only 8 counters before not 80 counters.

As it was you needed to drink 2 potions in 20 seconds to live which gave you about 5-8 seconds to spare if you were paying attention.

And here is another one ... skill 300 and having to relearn everything back into your recipe book from skill 1 -299 is a cruel joke, I remember back to the old days before the fast lookup of recipies and havign to alt tab out of eq to use a browser to look up recipies resulting in frequent crashes was a motivator not to do any tradeskilling.
