^^

Spell probably capping out at like 8k max and that's shock factor included.

Dont get why ppl think just cuz it's new it's worth 100k +

Much like the magic based 720 lifetap probably won't go on bar very often over vex or deflux

Since it's new maybe 5k or so , anything more it's not worth it because it does nothing new to what a necromancer can already do with vendor and other drop spells aside from being disease based

Anyone charging torpor amounts is over inflating how much they think it's worth based on "it's new" only person stupider as someone else said would be the person that pays torpor kind of plat for a spell that is not a that much of a changer anyway

I agree that if anyone thinks it should cost 50k+ it's probably a bit of an overestimation to put it mildly.

But I don't know. One guy had it for sale. Someone posted "offering 55k" but the guy still has it for sale and is bumping his thread for several days since.

Those "55k" is the only mention of a price I've seen so there isn't a lot to base things on.

Might have been a friend of his trying to build hype or whatever. If 55k offer was legit then the guy turned it down.

Having said all that I do think it might be better than Deflux. I mostly use Deflux when needing to burn down hard-hitting mobs solo. It might sound trivial but soloing in Kael for instance. I could see double the dmg and healing at (almost) the same cast time would be nice. Even at nearly double the mana. But I won't be getting this till the price comes down.

Wait... is the cast time 3 seconds on this spell? Cause I think it's supposed to be 6 seconds, just like touch of night.

This is probably an error if ineed it's 3 seonds cast time. I think touch of night and tihis spell would be viirtually identical outside of night being based on MR and Gangrenous on DR.

If that’s the case I will be content never scribing it tbh.

I can't edit my previous post, but having read through the comments on allakhazam , not a single one mentions the cast speed(obviously 6 verus 3 is massive difference for pure DPS dumping), even as players question why they would ever use the spell over touch of night. I don't think it's likely no one mentioned the cast speed in those exchanges.

Touch of night entry suggests 2005 is when they changed the cast speed on it down to 3 seconds.

Nice, thanks. I haven't lost my mind quite yet, it seems. Caveat emptor, necromancers.
