small patch considering jan patch has stuff like this

- The "Unholy Aura" Discipline now gives a 50% bonus to Harmtouch
(compared with the previous 25%) and causes it to save versus disease,
which should result in even fewer resists in most high-level
encounters.- "Harmtouch" is now resisted as if it were a "Lifetap" spell, meaning
that it is all-or-nothing, and nearly unresistable with exception to
encounters that are immune to magic or out of the acceptable level
range. In addition, maximum damage for Harmtouch has been increased
starting at 40th lev

This information has been given to attempt to make lifetaps "classic" i.e. proper in the past yet the standard rhetoric was given to why lifetaps are the way they are... hopefully now we are "at that spot" on the timeline we should see lifetaps moved to the above mentioned resists.

In velious the fact that SK's can essentially keep themselves alive during most encounters while others have to duck in and out make them more viable- this can only happen when lifetaps (as per above) are nigh unresistable - it also makes necro's able to lifetap burn their mana bars for dps rather than just be cool looking mana batteries.

Maybe this was already done, as I have not really been very active- and the raids I have done in ToV have been a odd mixed bag on the lifetapability of foes.

Looking forward to leechcurse being more useable and HT bombs coming into play...if they are not resisted...i.e. see above!

PLEASE check http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/19992002.php and use the search function when wondering why a Velious update isn't up yet.

P99 is going on a monthly patch system. Currently we are in January and should have all patches up to 01/31/01. Next patch should bring us up to all patches to 02/28/01. That next patch will include the EC Spell merchants for all those new balance spells like Druid, shaman and paladin heals

Thanks for your time and effort!

I don't understand why not just set it to the classic 350k. Setting any higher just sets the raid size requirement, more specifically the Rogue/Dragonbane Wizard requirement higher.

In its last version Rampage was bringing 15 clerics and 14 rogues and nearly running out of cleric mana.

I'm curious to see how this version goes for them. But even leaving him at half of his former 1million HP, is asking guilds to contend with healing a dragon for an extra 150k HP. That's a long time for any guild without 10+ Level 60 rogues on hand. Which is all of them but one.

His melee DPS and tank swap/CH Chain check is sufficient enough to make him the gatekeeper to Vulak/NToV cleared. I don't think keeping his health unclassic is necessary for balance at all.
