Report #68
Skillset: Skill: Deathmark
 Org: Celestines Status: Completed Oct 2008
Furies' Decision:
We'll increase level of mark cured if not in the same room as the necromancer.
Problem: Deathmark used to be cured by focus mind which gave a very small eq
loss. It was changed to cleanse which has a much larger eq loss, which is very
acceptable as I believe you shouldn't be able to effeciently keep your deathmark
at an extremely low level for no loss. However, cleanse is a much longer eq loss
and I believe that if it is not changed, there would be no point in ever trying
to cure it at all
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: When cleansing that effects deathmark (ie. not
 effected by ectoplasm or sap or slickness in whatever
 order these afflictions are cured in relation to
 deathmark) one cleanse removes 3 marks.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: When cleansing which effects deathmark, reduce the
 cost in equilibrium by one second

Considering you are asking for this literally hours after the change has been
made, I would say that more time needs to be given to see the effect now. I only
say this as, DeathMark was pretty weak and useless and we were told to give it
time to judge it, well, we did. I now suggest the same to you.

It's focusing ability wasn't your complaint, Ethelon, but the fact that you
believed the Administration completely ignored anything you asked for. They
didn't ask you to wait before commenting on it's ability to be focused, but wait
before you comment on it's use in combat. What I am doing, is completely
different as the ability to cleanse and it's timing is well known to all
players. And, being forced to cleanse 15 times in a row when you can't cleanse
faster than things that raise deathmark are given is impossible to stay ahead
of-which is a fact, not an opinion as your comments about the original deathmark
were
