Ability: Call of the Wild
Description: This ability allows you to call a fallen comrade's spirit back to their corpse. This resurrection does not restore any lost experience, but the player can still get an experience resurrection after being affected by this ability.
Cost per Level: 9
No. Levels: 1Anyone know if you still only have a total of 3 hours after death to get a rez or if it "resets" to a different time if we use this ability?

I believe they said this wouldn't effect the 3 hour timer. Maybe someone can back this up with their experiences... I am not lvl 70 yet. Imho, I think it should be a lvl 65 ability. /shrug.

Actually I think lv 60 would be more appropriate because of the GY problems in PoP. nothing like having part of a raid have their corpses pop back at the GY because it took a while to get a cleric back and rezed after a near wipe. By the time the camp gets cleared of agro so the FD players can come back, corpses are dragged and rezes start you are getting close to GY pop time. Since no exp or rez is given and the cost is so high, it should be a lower level AA.

Think of it as a World-Wide Call of Hero, but in stead of targeting them in your group, you target their corpse. It has no effect on the 3 hour timer, but I'm pretty sure that the timer can't have expired to use it.

Atm CoTW i think is sorta bugged. If you fail, liek you get the message " this corpse cannot be ressurected at this time" blah blah. it grays out for 10 minutes. i sent a feedback/bug in about it

No, that's not a bug, as it happens to other "res" AAs, too. It occurs when you res or summon the person while they're zoning or LD.

While it is not a "bug", it would be nice if a failure didn't grey out CotW for 10 minutes. For now though, I always target the corpse and /tt ready?... to make sure the person I am trying to CotW is not zoning. Doing it this way I have not had any issue with the skill.

It was brought to the attention of the appropriate folks a couple of weeks back. We'll see if anything comes of it. At some point, it can be added to the druid issue list if enough want it.

Should really not grey out the button. An "Oops, I was zoning" now kills you for 10 minutes.

You thought 100 seconds on forage greying out because you forgot to stand up was annoying? Try making the group have to wait another 10 minutes for the cleric to get called back.

Yeah, you should get the "Your ability has failed, Timer has been reset" message instead.

I want a bigass yellow warning that says 'Don't loot the whole corpse' added. (Not really, but damn it hurts to eat a death with no ress)

I totally agree. Or after they click the YES res box button they have to click another box that reminds them this is a no XP restored skill and they must not loot their corpse completely if they want to XP res.

just find out what alt activate number it is, and do this:
/alt activate cotw
/gsay DO NOT LOOT YOUR WHOLE CORPSE OR YOU WILL LOSE EXP, WAIT FOR FULL REZ. (add profanities in to taste, of course)

I was thinking of a button too :)

/tt STAY PUT!! DONT ZONE!! or I won't be able to dru-rezz you for another 10minutes. Druid semi-REZZ (0% exp recovered) will be comming in 20 seconds.

/pause 200

/alt activate #

/tt -=ATTENTION: LEAVE SOME LOOT IN YOUR CORPSE=- you still need a proper rezz from CLERIC/PALLY/NECRO!!
