I made the Fizzlesprocket's Forceful Discharging Apparatus but ...

[Ngreth Thergn]

Wore it tonight on raid.It seems to do a mark of karn i.e. reverse DS on your target.Got hit by ramp and ever time i got hit i was healed for 600pt.

nope

[MatthyasL]

So what does the effect actually do?

[Ngreth Thergn]

It is simply a DD that gets larger that longer you are in a zone and it has not been clicked. It can actually get WAY up there in damage too.

To keep people from using it to slaughter "raid" targets, it is limited to 1 hit per 30 seconds from any user.

[MatthyasL]

Interesting, but I wouldn't recommend people trying to sell it. Costs too much to make with all the store-bought components such as velium bars and I haven't been able to sell it myself yet.

Does evac/succor reset its timer?

[Krakajack]

I did a little testing on this today, at 30 minz not having clicked it at all in zone i got a 200 nuke out of it, i had it equipped for the 30 minz. Now i'm wondering if you just need to be in zone and can keep it in your bags and just equip it when ready to nuke or do you have to have it equipped the entire time in zone for it to work ?

Also, at 5 minz with it equipped it said hasnt built a charge, 10 minz same message, so im guessing its 30 minute intervals on when you can use it.

[Krakajack]

1 hour in zone, had item equipped for that time, used it.

[Mon Jan 26 14:08:44 2009] a dragonscale viper was hit by non-melee for 7655 points of damage.
[Mon Jan 26 14:08:44 2009] You release the stored force.

2 hour charge -

[Mon Jan 26 16:06:00 2009] a dragonscale viper was hit by non-melee for 13280 points of damage.
[Mon Jan 26 16:06:00 2009] You release the stored force.

[Krakajack]

Well i left my toon logged in last night kael, looks like the damage is capped.

[Tue Jan 27 07:03:38 2009] Armor of Zek was hit by non-melee for 14800 points of damage.

So, 15k is as high as it goes.

[Deviator]

did you determine if it needed to be equipped to charge? if it does need to be equipped, if you remove it does it reset or can you put it back on later to continue the charging?

[Cerpicio]

Is this a one-use device, or do you just have to wait for it to recharge before you can use it again?


Thanks,

[Krakajack]

Yes you have to have it equipped for it to build a charge, and no you can use it as many times as you like, you just have to use it once maybe every 2 hours to get a significant blast out of it.

Btw dieing also resets it, even if you get a rez before you zone it still resets.

Any chance of tweaking that part Ngreth ? Maybe fix it so it wont reset when you die ? Only when you zone ?

[Zaltak]

It is not a one use device.

Can't sell it in bazaar because it doesn't display any stats. Who knows why.

[Ngreth Thergn]

It must be equipped, it will reset if you take it off (It uses a charm script, charm scripts only run if equipped)

Is this a one-use device, or do you just have to wait for it to recharge before you can use it again?

It has "infinite" charges, it just needs recharge time.

It "caps" at 2 hours.

Also to prevent "manaburn" chains, an NPC can only have one of these hit them every 30 seconds.

Nope.

It is a technical limitation.

It stores information on YOU... and when you die all stored information (that I can access with scripts) is removed.
