Wraith Form mana drain formula

[kinney42]

Does anybody remember the formula or where I can find it since the forums are down?
And does it work with archery?

Thanks but there is no formula there.

Here is a Five On Friday that lists formula as:

For the math fans, the formula is percent leeched = ((15 * Spirit Speak)/100) + 5

As far as can tell will work with archery after all works with chiv holy light, but never tried as an archer since my archer likes to hit and run being on foot never went very well.

Without spirit speak you are limited to 6% mana leech. This increases to (I believe) 16% at GM spirit speak. Check the five on fridays for specifics, one of them in the last year answered this question...however no one bothered to update the stratics site or the UO site with it. *sighs*

or also look at poster above

I beat someone to the punch..

Yeah the FoF says minimum of 5% with 0 spirit speak. GM is 20% and 120 Spirit Speak would be 23%.

But if char is human, than have the bonus 20, so minimum for a human in wraith form is 8%.

While it doesn't say, what I have attacked seemed to have effects on mana leeched. In that I do better spamming wither on lizardmen than i do brigands that are the test subjects outside my house (man I love experimenting on them, they just right there.)

I want to say it's something like SS/5 = %

I might be a little off, but if I am, that forumla is close. The old stratics boards had it on it in the nerco forums.

120/5 = 24
100 /5 = 20
etc.

 

[Lord Kotan]

You might get better luck draining mana on lizards than brigands because they might have different mana pools.

Wraith form actually DRAINS mana. If they have no mana, you get no mana (IE, Rotting Corpses). If they only have 10 mana left, and you are supposed to get 30 mana leech, you only get 10.
