Deathward clickies

[Drekisen]

you could get a silver flame ammy, just as good as deathward for most things if you upgrade it to the 10 charge one

Mantle can eat up another 5 spells if it's fully charged. Only recharges one spell absorb per rest tho...still definitely worth obtaining if for anything the TS when paired with the VoM.

Love my VoM + MotW, The Rogue/Wizard hasn't taken it off since she got it.

Silver flame talismans get drained almost instantly by any dungeon that has arcane skeletons. Death ward is VASTLY superior for any non-beholder fight.

I'm bumping this.

It'd be very nice if I could pull a hireling into a raid just to give me Death Ward. Currently, in order to solo VoD, I have to (i) up the number of Tangleroot clickies I carry from 2 to 8, (ii) wait for the next Mabar event for pots, (iii) hope I have enough turn-ins for DW scrolls, or (iv) cheat and get a divine to come to the last shrine for a nice extended DW before I start.

I'm not happy with any of those options. Why can't you bring a hireling into a raid? I can't think of a single good reason for this beyond wanting to make raid solos more grindy. And that's a crappy reason. So hirelings in raids, Turbine. Why the heck not?

I'm confused. Are you planning on soloing the raid, and just want the DW Buff? Because I don't know too many VoDs that don't go on without at least one person capable of casting it, be it Cleric, Favored Soul, or even the Paladin.

Yes. I'm soloing the raid and just want more Death Ward (DW). I did a test run today (without any preparation) and quickly realized that I'd need more DW. Suulomadres casts Enervation, and as far as I know, a ranger can't get their SR high enough to block it. He's CR 28 on Normal, so you'd need 48 SR. Basically, you need to keep Deathward up for the entire run. I currently carry only 14 minutes of DW, and I gave up on the test run about 18 minutes in since casting Restoration constantly was no fun. With more DW, this will be a walk in the park.
