However, for those casters that truely love the spell, keep it mem'd. It lasts longer and is harder to resist...all around better. If it's not worth memming, then why should it be available in mass quantities?
Generally, I only ever see it used as jokes and fun against other players, and quite often its just seen as an annoyance by those becoming the recipient of it all the time. Personally I am mor ein favor of someone simply having 3-5 clicks of it, rather than having to sit through 50 charges of it.
:D How about grease pots? And make them throwable instead of target self clickies. :) Oooh, and make them inflammable with fire spells. :DQuote:

They exist though, so creating them is a non-issue really. It's just that apparently the Devs have decided that we cannot have them or they wouldnt have specifically been removed from any form or means a player can get.
As for getting things we dont have, I still want polearms and other weapon types, like whips, flails, mancatchers, etc. Oh and lets not forget the doublemace that has been on the AH for a long time and has yet to materialize into anything. I guess they are comming though since the AH has been reorganized with new catagories added and such and the Devs didnt bother to remove it.
Those arent fire pots, those are alchemist's fire... from what i remember, those are actually used to temporarily make your weapons flaming.... never saw them used as firebombs before DDO though.Quote:

and 80% of the population finds it graet, and the other 20 % hates it.:DQuote:

I have used it very effectively in application... a few things to note is to be selective in target not a tab spamming caster. The other thing to note is that the spell is effective even in elite higher levels on some mob... plus by then your group members are buffed up on freedom of movement most the time.Quote:

how not to use grease.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EZ1oMFrWxg
to date, i'm fairly certain that he has only effectively taught me where a few divets in SC & other terrains are. Useful, but i had never noticed (or been trapped by) them until his greasing prowess enlightened me. :DQuote:

i'm going to suggest that, to learn the techniques, he not cast it in the heat of battle for now. unfortunately, knowing him, that'll backfire.
it probably already has, as he tracks my posts, i'm sure.
That is hands down the best use of grease I've seen yet! I wonder if the developers designed that slow ramp with all the fire traps just for that purpose.:rolleyes:Quote:

entire party dies in flames that refuse to quit burning!
(dummy party member throws water on friend..........)
I used Grease on my Bard with a party that had 2 range based characters and others that "could range" ok. The ramp where you stop the invasion force works great with a few extended Grease cast upon it. Nothing made it up to bother us while we dropped fireballs, arrows, bolts, and throwing axes down on their heads.
