Skill Jewelry and Form-Changing Spells in Publish 56
I didn't have a version of the question handy, but this has come up a number of times. Currently, if you use skill jewelry to increase your skill, cast a form-changing spell (such as Necromancy's Vampiric Embrace) then remove the skill jewelry, you remain in that form.

This will be changing in Publish 56. What will happen is if you lower your skill past the threshhold to be able to cast that particular form-changing spell, (whether by removing items, using a soulstone, or even using the Test Center set skill command) you will revert to your normal form. This will affect not only the various forms available with Necromancy but Magery (Polymorph,) Ninjitsu (Animal Form,) and Spellweaving (Reaper Form.)

I think this is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

About time. Too bad the damage has already been done to the game's economy.

So instead of seeing a few sampires solo a peerless it will be all tamers with Greater Dragons now

i dont know......

at least with the tamers and dragons you know the tamers had to put in a couple months of training to get set up.

then they had to get the dragons and tame them.

where as the bushy/necro sammy you could whip up in a day, 2 at most and solo pretty much any peerless.

i still recall the days of watching Rain chain the Tav all day long.

mind you, i recentlly made a necro warrior on another shard and he is fun to play.
short of carrying the regs around it was a neat time.

and how did that work out, paladins for chiv and dont have to carry any regs and necros have to carry around regs.

suppose you could make a LRC warrior suit.

120 bush
120 parry
100 necro
100 anat
90 heal
80 chiv
110 Weapon skill

It's been a while sence I played, but getting topped out on damage with a slayer + EOO + Perfection shouldn't be to much of a problem. As for the life leech am I missing something?

Tactics which has little impact if you can reach the cap without it.
