Druidry

Druidry is currently being design as part of the new magic skill system.

Introduction

Please Note

This skill has not been reviewed for PvP. Portions of this skill may not work in PvP. Ultimately, there will be an overall check of PvP, but that is many months off when more of the skills under development are complete.

Using

This skill replaces the skill Throwing which should be transparent to players using the new client, but not perhaps to those still using the OSI client. Please note this skill is effectively unusable with the OSI client.

Purchase a full Book of Evocation from the Master Mage. Acquire gems from hunting, player miners or NPC jeweler. Acquire a white gem stone mortar and pestle from a Mage NPC. Aquire gem dust vials (Amethyst, Citrine, Ruby, and Sapphire) from the Mage NPC or a player with Glassblowing. Locate an apothecary table; found at most craft halls or NPC Mage shops. Grind the gems up into dust and fill up the gem dust vials.

Set your target to training dummy in the .spelloptions dot command and go practice Flame Surge for skill gain.

Spell damage 

.. is scaled upwards based on Evaluating Intelligence and Mana.

Based on the spells skill range the damage of a spell will scale. If the range is 0 to 100, it will scale upwards starting at 0 skill and reaching maximum damage at 100 skill. If the range is 50 to 70, the spell is not castable until 50 skill, and the damage will skill up to maximum damage at 70 skill.

Some spells will gain a damage boost above and beyond the specified skill range.

Targetting

Most of the spells in Evocation attack whichever mob is the player's current target. This target can be set either by double-clicking the mob, the mob's health bar, or using the .nexttarget dot command. This allows magic to be "single click" combat if the single click option is set in the client or a macro is configured.

In addition, Auto-attack spells can be used on training dummies as well to allow the player to train on them in the same way that melee can. This is changed by using the .spelloptions dot command and changing your Targeting Strategy.

The spells can be cast using the .cast command. Evocation spell IDs begin with 800 and go up to 809.

Fizzling

Spells do not fizzle, instead they always cast if the player's skill level is equal to or higher then the minimum skill range for the spell but they cast at reduced effectiveness.

Reagents

Evocation will consume gems for spell casting. For now, in testing, it's a direct consumption of gems. For final release, something more interesting will be implemented.

Cooldowns

Evocation spells have the concept of cooldowns. The spells have very short cast times, but they have a cool down which stops the player from being able to cast that spell again for a period of time. The spell icons in the client will display as red, and show a countdown to when they can be used again.

Auto attack spell

Flame Surge is the Evocation auto-attack spell. These spells, once cast, will continue to fire off every few seconds at your target. Reagents are only consumed when you activate them, but mana is taken every time the spell fires off. The spell icon for the spell will change to green when active. If you want to stop the auto attack, cast Flame surge again. Auto attack spells are also the only spells that can be used on training dummies to train your Evocation up that way.
