Happens to me as well. Alot since the patch.

Glad I gots me a focus staff with mana conservation :-D

Damn. I must have missed a Random Encounter while browsing the Galleries (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

That's why I use the Black Site.

I too but I always happen to check new galleries if they are tagged with (IMG:[g.ehgt.org] http://g.ehgt.org/img/tfb1.png)

just curious, what's the fewest # of spawns you can face in a random encounter

least i've seen is 5

I wonder if this would fetch a high price (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/lurk.gif)

That is something I would save if it was mine, not sure how much you could get for it but I would guess a few will bid on it.

anyone else using a count down timer as a desktop gadget?

How does using that staff feel? Is the mana conservation worth it? Does it affect mana cost directly (i.e. a 100 mana spell will now cost 80 if mana conservation is 20%)? May want to find one myself (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Oh boy, finally got a Binding of Slaughter from one of my monsters. Now I'm not sure if I want to sell it or use it. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Guess I could wait till I do my massive trophy dump to decide in case I ever get better Eth Clubs and Rapiers from them, but I was planning on using them for Light Armor. Maybe a 50-50 split now? I'll just have to wait and see.

I think I've gone insane. For some reason I've decided to port HV_STAT to native code. I've been working on this since Tuesday, and only have the text log hilighting and separators done. The main reason it took so long to do so little is because I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the monstrosity that is XPCOM before I discovered js-ctypes. Unfortunately I don't know how to manipulate the DOM in native code with js-ctypes so there's still a lot of JavaScript code.

I think this is the first time I've ever gotten 4 Artifacts in one day, and there have been days where I've played much, much more than the amount I've played so far. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif)

Yes it does affect the mana cost directly. It feels like I drank some awesome and injected kick ass straight to my veins.

Sure I lose some mbd and some ebd but I seem to cast more supportive and curative spells anyway on iwbth. Not only that but procing ether theft and its duration actually make it worth it with this staff. (but I feel some of the godly level players would still prefer the higher damage count). After all, I may only be losing 200 in damage but these same staffs given to a higher level (or even their staffs compared to a better focus staff), they would probably lose closer to 500 or more.

Still, because ether thefting is more useful, I believe my staff prof will finially rise at a noticeable rate.

to add to what smilejb said.

With spell spamming and no ET, I used about 4 less godlys on normal, 1 or 2 less on hard through heroic (they are the same when your spamming Pestilence and still have great stamina). That was from what I got today with the focus staff.

That was with a 19.69% mana conservation. It is roughly what I was doing about before the 0.6.3 patch. So if you want to use less mana than what you previously used, your likely going to look into a focus staff with a higher than 20% in mana conservation. You will not have to ET as much in that range.

If you wanted to make it faster you could just have rewritten it from scratch without using jQuery.

Whoops just died in the Arena. IWBTH can be tough (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif)

Are the mobs hitting harder than usual during the hourlies (which might account for the higher EXP gained)? Damn, they can hit really hard.
