725 pt damage shield (55 min. duration) for Enchanters
This is pretty much only for enchanters, I don't see any other class being able to do this because for this 725 pt DS... you will need 4 spells:


Wrath of the Wild (Druid AA Skill)

This AA is a ONE hit DS. This DS is 650ish damage shield but will only affect one hit and wear off. This spell is also technically a 1 point rune.​

Fire Elemental Illusion (Enchanter spell)

This spell changes the caster into a Fire Elemental along with raising their fire resist by 5 and increasing their damage shield by 13 (not sure how much, but it does add a damage shield)​

Nettle Shield (Highest Druid DS Spell)

This spell is the highest castable damage shield from a druid for 55 points.​

Ethereal Rune (Enchanter Rune)

This is a SELF ONLY enchanter rune spell, it does not require any spell component and absorbs 2,000 melee/spell damage.​

On to the "How-to's..." ...

To do this, simply stack the 4 spells Fire Elemental Illusion, Nettle Shield, Ethereal Rune, and Wrath of the Wild. Now you have a 725 point damage shield that will NOT wear off in one hit as it was intended to. The only way for it to wear off is if Ethereal Rune wears off from taking too much damage, so refresh Ethereal Rune ALOT and don't let it wear off!.​

Why does it work the way it does?

Well, Nettle shield and Fire Elemental Illusion are only used because they stack with the other DS, the purpose of these 2 spells are solely for their stackablitiy and deadliness for the DS. The mechanics of how this work comes in from how Ethereal Rune and Wrath of the Wild interact. how do they interact? Well, technically both of these spells are rune type spells, Wrath of the wild is a 1 point rune and wears off in one hit(normally), but Ethereal Rune absorbs 2000 damage before disipating, and this is how it works... The damage you take is taken from Etheral Rune first rather than Wrath of the Wild, and while the caster is absorbing damage with Ethereal Rune, EQ doesn't ignore the other affects of Wrath of the Wild. Remember, Wrath of the Wild has a DS portion to itself also, a 650 pt DS, any mob attacking you will take this damage along with Fire Elemental DS and Nettle DS. The trick to making full use of this is to keep Ethereal Rune up at ALL times. Wrath of the Wild has a 4 min refresh timer, so if you mess up and Ethereal Rune wears off, its no biggie, 4 minutes isn't that long.​

Ideas...

These are confirmed ideas that I have thought of and done already:
-AE PL to low 50's in a very very short time...
-If the druid you are boxing or friend is playing has Spirit of the Wood/Grove AA, it also stacks with the DS giving it about 800 pt DS. If a bard was grouped, My guess is it would be about a 1000ish, I've never tried it with a bard.
-Solo Venril Sathir
-Solo General Jared Blaystitch (Echo Caverns)
-Rape the arena! (careful not to get caught)
​

I hope this is helpfull to all, I've found it tremendously helpful and I hope this don't get nerfededed... =)


P.S.
don't ever let the chanter pull with that much of a DS... Mobs will die before they get back to you're 'camp' Use the druid to pull =)



EDIT:
Oh yeah... feel free to add more ideas because all I cant hink of is PL. PvP, and killing bosses.

 

[Siddin]

for bards it all depends on the mods. with a 2.0 singing and 3.6 brass mod my ds is 116 pts at lvl 70

 

[eqlover]

Pretty awesome, how do you make sure to refresh rune if you are getting hit though? Won't it get interupted? I guess if you are using it to PL, the mobs won't hit that often/hard.

 

[Siddin]

simply use the offset so you don't move back when hit with melee

 

[Pugs]

Need to be sure rune is on before Wotw is on or elce wotw will go first. also could you do with uproar on another person? hmm something to try. ttyl

 

[duexe]

Pretty sure this has been nerfed. Wotw no longer sticks if another rune is in place..

 

[bigmike]

used it just now, it used to NOT work, but since last patch, it seems to be un nerfed...

 

[Redbot]

Still un-nerfed?

 

[bigmike]

still unnerfed, i use it almost daily, solo lord bob in velks, VS (unfabled, dont try fabled or u get ur azz handed to you)

 

[Infernal]

Argh... i was gona lvl up a wizard but noooo... we have to find a chanter (who would have thought...) exploit... anyways, i cant wait to check this out GJ!!!

 

[Siddin]

add a bard, get it up to 891

 

[bigmike]

725 with druid buffs, enchanter illusion, over 800 with spirit of the grove (another druid AA), 200ish with bard.... not sure but i dont think mage one stacks, but if it does... its over 1.2k easy DS =)

 

[Ravia]

I have a 34 Ech can i PL him at this lvl, any ideas send me a PM to let me know please thanks!!

 

[Mikiky]

Ravia, just go to echo caverns, I did my chanter levelling there, and got her from 28 up to 50 atm just there, the xp is great because its a hotspot now.

 

[Mikiky]

BTW, can someone give me a "hint" about the Ethereal Rune please?
Is it a spell? AA? How does one get it? Buy it? research it? ANY help/hints would be appreciated thanks!

[forsakenshadow]

I forget where i saw it but I thought that with all the DS that stack if cast apon a SK they ended up witht he Highest possable total DS. I'll have to look and see if i can find that again.

 

[fastjack]

60 something spell, from PoP. Easy to look up on say...Allakhazam's, or therunes.net
it is self only, and makes warriors cry until you get to oow nameds......my chanter can outtank the tanks with it, try it it's fun, especially if your group doesn't have a healer....

if you are tanking, just cast Tash Tash Tash to hold aggro and don't let that rune drop! Tash is a very fast casting spell, and unless they are really fighting you for aggro a couple tashes here and there between runes do the trick

 

[Mikiky]

Can anyone confirm that this is still working please?

 

[65604267]

Still works.

 

[armysoldier]

ok being a 70 chanter and since i use a 65 DRU to pl toons... lemme shed some more light on this.

Mikiky - Ethereal rune is a chanter spell LVL 66 Absorb DMG 1950

With the druid I have stacked Self DS, Reg DS and fire illusion .. the mage DS over writes the REG Druid DS. More bang for the buck.

With a tank I have stacked DS potion and Dru DS / Mage DS .. did not try Fire Illusion

ENC also come with a AA Rune that Does not stack with Ethereal but does stack with Rune of Salik lvl 67 absord 1105 dmg.




So here is what i propose

in order

Ethereal Rune
Rune of salik (will it stack with WotW?) use clicky buff here first
DS Potion
DRU/ MAG DS
HP buff (Self Shield, CLR, DRU, SHM ETC ETC)
WotW

Once WotW is on then click off Clicky and cast Rune of Salik just to see if it will stack

Now you have ove 3K of Rune with AA Rune ready to click just incase

Etherreal rune casting soon as it drops...

The extra rune ensures you do not take that one piece of DMG to lose WoTW

ExTRA Insurance

8-)

btw I will jump on this band wagon if it still works once i return to the states... lol

Good luck

 

[armysoldier]

Crap what about the chanter DS feedback .. is that overwritten by any of the other DS?

I know its not overwritten by illusion

sorry forgot that

 

[shadowman33]

just guessing, but it is probably overwritten by the higher lvl druid or mage ds

 

[cbsro]

Patch message today:
- Fixed the issue with Wrath of the Wild that caused it to last until a rune expired.

move this on over to nerfed

 

[armysoldier]

DAMN YOU SONY

Ok someone end this friggin crap in IRAQ.. i need to get home before any more of the exploints u have here are nerfed.

THIS IS BS

/cries
