Hey, Do you have a Greater Teleport?(semi-rant)

[Aspenor]

Ill usually only hand out a GT if there is a purpose, like getting out of a hairy situation.

[jaitee]

i carry GT scrolls every where i go, i tele from anyplace to places, if im in the harbor, i find the nearest quest, zone in and tele out, or just use teleport scrolls

i am not a rich prick but i dont like running around for awhile to reach the goal, i do use GT after a pop run, but i dont see the point of it though

[Lithic]

Ive got 2 casters, neither of which usually has GT spells or scrolls. When asked for GT, Ill either use a scroll and tele them to the necropolis while I recall, or say:

"yeah let me see if I can find that scroll" and then recall out. Its pretty funny how long people will wait for the GT even when you are already gone

[Ishturi]

I sometimes carry GT scrolls, but I ALWAYS carry tele scrolls. Being able to zip from VON 5 right into the jorasco shop to buy rez scrolls and CSW wands, then to the porta. hole for other scrolls, then back to the Kundarak bank and back into VON in under a minute is a thing of beauty.

[Shade]

I use em fairly often for quick quests where there is a purpose to it.. Or whenever asked to be nice.

But never for loot runs, where the idea is to make as much platinum as possible.. Using up resources seems to defeat the purpose in those cases.

[Rissten]

I carry them on my sorc mostly for guild run and the ocassional practical joke like my grease scroll and summon monster 7 scrolls. Had a lowbie harass me till I would take him in to a high level quest, did then summon monster buff it up and recalled out

[DelScorcho]

If plat is not an issue then buy the gt scrolls. If you are poor then do not buy them. If you are poor and have a capped character then learn how to make money on the ah.

Money is not an issue for me, so I carry gt scrolls. I say this though. I would not expect a cleric to carry heal scrolls if I wasn't prepared to carry gt and gh scrolls.

GH scrolls and stoneskin are necessary if you can't fit the spells in. Rez and Heal are necessary for emergencies. GT scrolls are a convenience and not really worth the plat to maintain a stack.

[Strakeln]

I've never had a problem with GT, but I remember back when the cap was 10 I was yelled at for not having haste, which at the time was not worth taking on a sorcerer.

Yeah, there's absolutely no use for the most powerful buff in the game at that point...

[Casta]

I always have gt scrolls on me, but I mostly save them for getting groups out to titan raids. If a group wants gt out of pop they can buy me the scroll. I also keep a few stacks of other scrolls I will never use if i don't have to like res scrolls.

[Starlytes]

I remember being in a PUG w/ a guildie.....

He's a great caster that's been playing a while.......

Anyway, we're done w/ the quest, and one of the PUGs, asks for greater teleport. My guildie says "sorry, don't have it."

PUG tells him "you know, you can go and buy the scrolls."

Guildie replies "yeah, or you can just recall twice."


Good stuff.

Next time..... reply as I do to "you can go and buy the scrolls"
"there is no class restriction on who can buy scrolls, if you want a GT buy the scroll and i will gladly cast if for you "
... No one has ever purchased a GT scroll for me to cast ....

on the same note but off subject i do practice what i preach .... my fighter carries GH scrolls to give to casters so i can have a GH without using thier mana pool.....

[Strakeln]

oh, man, that was bad. Replied to a post I already replied to.

Nothing to see here, move along.

edit: AH-HA! Someone Necro'd this thread! Whew... I thought that I had somehow managed to forget that I had replied to the same guy earlier in the day!

[Razvan]

Heh.. I'm WAY lazier than I am cheap. Heck, I even carry teleport scrolls on my umd paladin, just so I don't have to walk from house to house sometimes.

I'd never DEMAND a greater teleport from either a sorcerer or a wizard.... But I will ask if they have them.

Some people don't care about plat... Some do. I never know which type I'm grouped with unless I ask.

As my only level 14 is a sorc I don't have any reason to keep my money in the bank so I buy teleport and greater teleport scrolls all the time...and use them all the time!
FOr a casual gamer who has an hour to play at a time, I really hate wasting 15 minutes of that walking around Stormreach!

But no, you are definitelly NOT required to have those scrolls...as always, it comes down to style of play!

[Lillitheris]

Greater Teleport: Titan and occasionally on a POP run.

Teleport: all the time to get around the city. Saves A LOT of time.

[juniorpfactors]

I carry 50-60 at all times.....and always offer one at the end of quest

[Cowdenicus]

Funny, I only throw heals to sorcs that buff my cleric properly, oh you dont carry greater heroism? Thats funny I dont carry heal sorceror.

[MrWizard]

gee, with all the UMD people always needing heals for feeblemind (like fighters, pallys, rogues)....it is a wonder they all sort of look down and whistle when someone says greater teleport?....

funny thing that

[Kargon]

Mmmm... undead thread alwamays fun.

Anymaway, Kargon usuamally say 'Gather for Telemaport'. Party assume Kargon mean Greatamer Telemaport, but nope, Kargon at the Market Tent now and party wonderaming 'Where are my GT?'

[Borrigain]

Another reason to keep them around: Nothing says fun then sending them all to the Necropolis after a PoP run.

Not as fun as sending them to the harbor after a dragon run!

"Can we get a GT?"
"Sure hold on a sec....."
/voom
/click

"What the....? I'm in the harbor"
(as you recall) "You didn't say where you wanted to go"
/snicker as they run ALL the way back to the top of House K.


Borr.

[Strakeln]

I never noticed a harbor option on the GT spell... did you mean marketplace or do I need to look more carefully at the selection window from now on?

[Borrigain]

market....my bad.

harbor entrance.....something like that.....

heck....i'm not at the game....i'm giving myself a headache thinking about it.
