yes, i know that probably 25% of my posts on this forum are related to illusionless lich, but im not giving up until i get some results Tonque

i had suggested either making an illusionless lich - via spell vendor or quest or AA, i dont care - before, but i just realized a few weeks ago how easy it would be to make lich stack with other illusions. this way, the people who dont care, or the people who actually WANT to be a skeleton, dont have to be inconvenienced.

i discovered this when looking at the shaman AA "pact of the wolf". most illusions have the illusion portion of the spell in the #1 slot:

Quote:
Otherside Detail | History | Stacking | Raw Data

Slot Description
1: Illusion: Skeleton
2: Increase Mana by 78 per tick
4: Ultravision
5: See Invisible(1)
7: Decrease Hitpoints by 68 per tick


Quote:
Illusion Gnome Detail | History | Stacking | Raw Data

Slot Description
1: Illusion: Gnome


most illusions, if not all, excluding pact of the wolf, follow that format. as you can see with pact of the wolf, the illusion portion is in the #3 slot, which allows other illusions to stack with the AA buff. i tested it to make sure.

2: Increase Attack Speed by 60%
3: Illusion: Unknown(454)
4: Ultravision


all the devs would have to do is move the illusion segment of lich to another slot other than #1. its a very simple solution to a problem that we shouldnt even be dealing with this late in the game.

ive explained my reasoning for having illusionless lich before, so i wont beat that dead horse again here, except to say that its about time this change takes place. it is simply unfair to force us into skeleton illusion for 90% of our everquest lives. this isnt the solution i *really* want, but it is harmless imo, and a step in the right direction. at least then we could use illusion potions or items and be able to show off our dye or our illusions and have some semblance of individuality other than our weapon/shield combo.

They'll fix another door in North Qeynos before you see this change happen. I applaud you for trying and having tenacity though...
