Pretty much what the Items Overview says.
One point of clarification: "all enchantments experienced" does NOT mean "all enchantments cast." Any enchantment cast on this minion will have its effective level increased. (Post-DM, if any. DM itself is not affected.)
Interesting item :D
I wonder by how much the enchantment gets boosted...

np, just go to stats -> items -> overview from the sidebar
ok thanks
though I will probobly send 6 bucks over anyways regardless of what it does :D
Interesting. Looks particularly nice for those RoS users preferring PL to GA.

Joy ! Finally, 2nd supporter item for Mage/enchanter type. :)
Looks like an awful item for mages Devil
Actually this could hurt your mage if he is wearing it against AMF. Atleast that is what I am understanding.
AS, GS, Protection, oh my..... excellent turn for RoSs.

Oh, what a glorious changemonth it has been...

Go UC!!!!
I guess this means that a minion wearing this is much more vulnerable to AMF and EC. Yes, this seems good for UC backed by AS from someone else wearing an RoS. It should probably be accompanied by DM to fight off the incoming EC.

This is going to be fantastic. Jon, you've wow'd me again. =D
UC = love this changemonth.
:D I think I get this....
It will increase your minions skill, BL, Evasion, UC or PL.
If this minion has AMF or EC cast on it, they will be increased as well, but not DM?
If this minion has GS, Haste, VA, Prot, GA, AS (well all the EDs) cast on it, they will be increased (for that minion only, so it would get a bigger bonus from AS then the rest of your team).
Is this how it works?

spot on GL! i see you've learned :P
NS: you can't dispel AMF or EC or any EO for that matter only ED.

Hehe, I want one, I just don't know how to implement it in my strat yet.
wow...
I'm interested in the increase in AMF or EC however, that's quite a painful draw back. Why do we think it increases skills?

we know, its in item overview.
What does the "Does not sp" mean? Is my browser cutting off the end of the description?
Usually that would be "does not spawn ..." but I'm not seeing that at all -- I know my browser cuts off the descriptions.

"all enchantments experienced" does NOT mean "all enchantments cast."
This must mean only useable on ED spells and skills.
Does it also increase the opponents EO spells cast on you? i.e. make your opponent's AMF stronger (or weaker?)

Viewing the HTML source learns me this: "Base AC 0; upgrades do not affect AC. 2% bonus per plus to skills and all enchantments experienced. PR weight: 0.2. Does not spawn. Unforgeable."

Move along.. nothing more to see here. :P

Can the Enchantment effects be displayed in play-by-play?
Flamey
September 23 2006 10:05 AM EDT
that means whatever gets affect would have to be displated like GA,AMF,EC and VA?
look like a lot of enchantments...

It's your own personal anti-DM ;)
Flamey
September 23 2006 10:23 AM EDT
guess so, but anymore enchantments and i have to scroll to see ranged combat, lol.
sucks having to scroll every fight to see whats going on.

So far, I can report:
A +8 AoF pushes my UC from (98) up to (105), and I like it!!!!.
DO NOT use this on a Tank unless
1. You have big DM to deal with EC
2. You mave massive DX to overcome "superfied" EC
3. The tank is a UC tank, wherein the inherent UC skill allows you to still land hits in melee even if your DX has been rendered useless
The superfied EC will render your tank absolutely helpless if you don't have counters...
I'm still working on how much of a difference it makes, numbers-wise.

I forgot to put "or" in between all of those :P

How would DM help you deal with EC?
Flamey
September 23 2006 10:51 AM EDT
DM reduces all ED only.
i think it just slipped with everyone that it is all EO/ED but then that wouldn't make sense, fizzling DM is silly :)
Flamey
September 23 2006 10:52 AM EDT
just confirmed, AMF and EC have a greater effect with the AoF involved.
me and draco did a quick test, if you really want numbers get two characters and do it yourself :P

Scratch the DM/EC thing. Some who are more knowledgeable about how spells work than I am have "dispelled" a wrong impression that I had about DM. :)

Seeing how I use a single minion with archery and DM, this will only make things harder for me. I'll be facing boosted AS, GA, VA and more, but can't make use of it myself...
Well, perhaps it's time to make myself an (Ev/AS/)AMF enchanter...
Hmmm..

You can use it to boost your archery, thereby needing less xp to max it out, thereby having more xp to boost your HP.

True, but it doesn't need all too much exp to begin with (less then 5% in total) and my AoI is probably more useful. But like I said, I'll probably try to change this situation to my advantage in some way. This game IS about strategy, after all. But I should first check how popular it becomes...
