The Magician's Tower

Hastened Virulent Talon - 5 ranks to shave off 5 mins - or 3 which is more likely

Steel Vengeance - 3 ranks

Virulent Talon (another rank)
Hastened Virulent Talon (another rank, possibly 2)
Servant of Ro (a good upgrade not incremental crap like we always get)
Hastened Malosinete (1 more rank)
Hastened Wind of Malosinete (30 seconds off total, however many ranks)
Huge Modulation Shard (we're due)

I like the idea of a mod shard increase.
Even if its self only.

It's a nice idea but they aren't planning on giving an update because they are still trying to rein in the amount of mana available. Getting the self only mod rod required quite a bit of convincing. Basically, they just don't want to give us free mana; most mod rods are likely to come in the form of spells now. Not that we shouldn't ask for it (I think we need one), just that it's gonna be a long shot request.

Heh, my eyeballs work just fine and it's very obvious, particularly when summoning pet, when the spell has worn off. Heck, I'd take an upgraded version that lasts longer than an hour and a bit.

I agree.

When Aristo noticed pets weren't being summoned at the proper speed, I was working with him on it. Based on how stacking works, and the summoned pet speed, if Velocity does anything, it's supposed to be a minor difference. There is a noticeable difference if the pet is not being summoned with it's super speed. The big trouble is the speed of the pet on the server will look good but, because of a myriad of things happening on our end, your pet may look like it's not fast enough. You can see those effects if you get two bards maxed out on run speed and using selo's; one can actually outpace another lol

About the ranks of steel vengence. Is it really worth it? When is using our magic DD worthwhile?

Since I put Iron bolt in my non rain spell line-up.

I second that. I forget I have the darn thing these days.

I thought steel vengence didnt fire for iron bolt. I went to test and cast it like 30 times with the AA max, didnt get a single proc

The point is to give a little boost to our DD magic spells. This is to help keep our dps up somewhat when being forced to pocket our fire spells. The idea behind versatility is not to make all spells equal, rather to make the unequal spells not so bad. It is worthwhile to have more ranks of steel vengeance, especially since it takes minimal code time due to it's existence.
