Ok, I was goofing off the Vetern reward, and decided to delevel from 70 down to lvl 60, in a death loop in Lava.

After i did this I hit XP recovery and gain all my XP and lvls back to 70.

This caused my tracking skill to go from lvl 175 back to 125, so we know it messes with the AA's. And it seems it might as messed with my Alt spec AA's.

Havent been able to heal as much as I use to. Was wondering exactly how many heals I should be able to get off with a 10k mana pool, no buffs and Spec of 100. casting continuely.

is my magelo, had a GM log me on about 2 weeks ago( Kinda funny sending tells to myself) And he did say thier was a problem, and that they would look into it and Email me back the next day. He never did.

Can only get off 16 Ancient heals off before going OOM. That seems kinda low IMHO, spell cast is 2.8 sec's with a 2 sec recast time, and a mana cost of 723. Ran this test 4 times, every time 16 heals, then OOM.

GoM never went off, But I know that is Curently bugged soo.

Any clue if this is Normal?

Exactly how many corpses did you attempt to use the Veteran 100% rezz AA on?

To go from 70 to 60 would take approximately 160 deaths / corpses. That is figuring about a 6% xp loss per death, which is about what I have noticed.

Frankly, anyone attempting to use it on more than 20 corpses is stressing the code.

And we all should know by now how many bugs are in the code.

So it could be either of two things.

Either there is a bug(s) which effect every use of the Vet 100% AA or there is one which happens when you rez more than x number of corpses.

If it is the latter and x > ~ 30 then I don't really see it as a big problem. Sure, it should be fixed and it is another example of the crappy programming we have all seen in EQ. But if it is a problem only caused by > ~ 30 corpses, I don't see it as a high priority.

Again, who knows? It could be happening on every single use of the AA, even if there is only one corpse. But your "test" isn't very conclusive.

Have them rollback your character to before the loop.

I have been in petetions with GM's about this, and the Deathloop thing happened almost 2 months ago now... and I have gained over 200 AA's since then. =/

Spell Casting Mastery is 10% mana preservation.
Specialize Alteration 100 is 5 or 6% mana preservation.
No beneficial mana preservation on gear, so that's it right?

723 mana * 0.84 * 16 = 9717 mana.

So looks rather normal to me, unless I'm missing some obvious thing :)

I think you're missing the obvious of why the h*ll did Roxxx do that and then be surprised that something bad just may happen?

Was screwing around with trying to figure out some numbers and best I can figure you only get 3% mana pres for 50spec, 6% for 100 and 11% for 200.

So 16 probably sounds about right.

Spec anything at 200 is 11% mana savings.

I think several AA's might be bugged ..
When i got GOD AA FOMM1 my crit rate went DOWN, not up.
Before i was critting about 20% of the time .. after once every 20 casts or less even.
Now i got FOMM3 .. about 20% crits with 430 dex, 10% or less with 300 dex . I think FOMM is bugged too for me .. probably not all got this bug, depends on when u bought the aa i guess.

Dexterity does not affect nuke crits.

So what DOES affect nuke crits apart from aa's?
I have all nuke crit aa's, yet i crit a LOT less than other druids .. why???

RNG affects it largely.
