Steal Essence

Steal Essence is not affected by magical accuracy.

It always land !

I never noticed this, but now that I think about it, I don't remember it ever failing. Same with drain.

Between this and the MP it seems to get, this skill is way overpowered atm. At least in PVE.

Use it while you can I guess.. its probably gonna be nerfed to useless someday.

It CAN fail. My former Doomcryer friend confirmed this.

Your friend remembers wrong I'm afraid :(. I leveled a DC and it never failed.

I'm leveling a DC and it does fail, more than you are willing to admit but it does

You are doing something wrong, or they changed it. Because when I leveled mine last month... no fails... EVER. I was in TOI and PI whole time soloing with full mana and 100 percent land rate...

I leveled an OL from level 1 to level 70 in 3 days.

The skill Steal Essence never failed, despite the fact that ORC has only 74 WIT !

It is a BUG or it was made to land 100% ignoring magical accuracy / magical evasion system, in order to be able to keep the unlimited mana.

I always leveled vs monsters 10-11 more levels then me.

Really ... the easiest way to awakening ever.

I levelled with him and saw Steal Essence failing from time to time.

Name and server?

I'm leveling an OL now and it gets evaded on white mobs in ToI.

Not that it matters.

What does matter is that they need to nerf the MP VR that Orc Mages get from attacks. There are OL/WC bots all over taking up all the good spots. Needs to stop.

One one of the floors in ToI where all the Angels spawn (I think 10, I ran up so I'm iffy) no matter which direction you looked down the hall, it was filled with botted Orc mages chain draining MOBs.

And you cant train them unless you can grab a whole level of mobs cause of infinite MP and the huge heals they get from every drain + Soul Guard on some of them.

I believe mobs 10 lvls above you do not give xp or give you a huge penalty so how is this possible?

People like to over-exaggerate.

Which makes their point less valid :s

I went to FP on my toon and didn't get any XP from any Red MOBs there. Pink was fine, and obviously green-yellow was as well. But all Red "Con" mobs gave 0 XP.

So the chance that he was getting XP off MOBs 10-11 levels over him is none to nil.

Drain skills can't miss. However they can be resisted, making it do only half or even no damage.

Like I said, I was leveling in ToI on an OL and it was evaded, so I dunno where you guys are getting this misinformation. Drains can be evaded by MOBs. I seen it first hand more than a few times.

Unless you seriously think the Platinum Orc Archers were evading my melee (that didn't exist) from across the room.

If you're leveling with ridiculous buffs and/or weaponry then maybe you can shave them down to non-existence depending on the MOBs you're fighting, but they're 100% confirmed evadeable.
