The Magician's Tower

Anyone know the actual stats of this AA, i.e. how much it actually debuffs? I notice that occasionally, but very rarely, my nukes still get resisted after hitting the mob with this aa. This is just on blue trash mobs (pirates, turtles, etc in TBS).

I mainly use this before casting the *regular* malo spell because this one resists way less and helps the regular to land or i use it when oom

When I first came back about 10 days ago I was looking at the new AA's and I was thinking to myself - why in gods name would I want Gate/CoH/Sini as a AA? Have to tell you I have since changed my mind it's fantastic. Just not having to have the spell memmed plus being able to get rid of my mask (Was using the sini mask) was great. I don't think it costs mana (although I haven't bothered to verify) and I think it's avaialble when spells are refreshing as well - although again I haven't verified as I pull with it mostly.

I'm liking the new spells as AA!

I was the same way until I actually did purchase the malo AA. Although the refresh on the AA is annoying at least we can wear a decent mask now. Don't get rid of the mask (keep it bagged or in the bank at least in case you're expecting a nasty fight); someday you'll want it and your AA to use. It's possible to use both just alternting from the mask to the AA back to the mask.

I agree. I didn't see much of a point, especially considering my quickbar is already full of things I consider useful and don't want to replace. However being able to replace malo in my spell set has been a huge help, not to mention gate (not that I normally had it loaded). I do have a case of the quickbar clutters now though, with 3 bars full of AA skills. Speaking of which, is there a way to open multiple quickbars and have them all up at once without loading a custom UI? I understand that I could only have one assigned to my number keys, but it would be nice to have some of my lesser used ones available without having to hit shift-# to switch hotkey sets all the time, and just click them with the mouse instead.

You can have 4 bars up at the same time. Theyre all under the EQ button.

You can assign keys to three different hotbars as well. I use the number pad, then Shift + number pad, then Ctrl + number pad. And I save the 4th hotbar that I have up for the CotH, Levi, G.invis, Top Inventory Slot, Important inventory bags, etc.

I just wish that EQ would 'grow up' and add 12 keys to each hotbar like every other current MMORPG in existence today.
