Quick question, if i may

[Simemir]

hi all, im fairly new to the game and currently have a lvl 22 reaver as my main. I have been looking at various websites for help leveling, and have noticed that many people make reference to reavers having 2 liftaps?

Mine seem to be on the same timer?

can anyone shed some light on this?


Also are there any guilds recruiting?

Many Thanks

Think they are talking about the reaver rr5 ability Siphon Soul thats part of the popular "Reaver Bomb Strategy". Its a strong pbae lifedrain on a 10 min timer that you get for free when your reaver hits realm rank 5 from doing alot of rvr

They are refering to, if you check, your spell list having 2 lifetap spells, your current highest, and the next one down.
They used to be on the same cast timer, although I believel they are now fixed and on the same.
A reaver can gain life though his insta-tap, lifetap proc, and as Fana said, through his RR5 pbaoe lifetap.

Also, to find a guild recruiting, it will be worth to mention which server you are playing on

Ok, now i notice how strange my playing style was...

when i left daoc after two years of playing every day(almost), i had a 24 berserker as my main...and no higher chars.

Though i played midgard, hibbies, albion, back to midgard and so forth but...umm...

I feel odd.

They are on the same timer in EU at the moment.

Mythic introduced a bug in some patch (I think it was in patch 1.72 on US) where they accidentaly set both lifetaps on different timers. (We're currently on 1.71)

It has been fixed in 1.74 though, so you won't have 2 lifetaps for a long time once catacombs goes live (which will be 1.73 I think), since the next patch will remove it again.

Iirc we are jumping straight to 1.73, so no bug there

I know we're jumping straight to 1.73, but just because we get insta-patched to 1.73 that doesn't mean we won't get the fixes/bugs from 1.72.

Unless GOA hotfixes it in 1.73 once catacombs goes live in europe, Reavers will get 2 lifetaps on separate timers untill 1.74 is released over here.

- Reaver Lifetap change: In 1.72, we added code to set certain spells from different lines to be affected by the same recast timer. We then went through the spell lines, setting some spells to be immune to this change. The reaver's Lifetap spells were given immunity, but should not have been. This patch will make the 1.72 code apply to the reaver and put the lifetaps on the same recast timer.
