1608 Messaging problems with BOC 02/13/2021 08:41 AM CST
So 1608 and BOC share the same messaging and there is no real way to keep track of up time and down time to use BOC correctly. Is there a way to give BOC its own messaging to be able to see it on the spell active list and to be able to use BOC with out having just to spam 1608 2x with out guessing?

It already does what you're asking it to do.

I am probably explaining it horribly but I can't call on BOC without having to cast it twice for BOC to work and i want to recast it right as BOC drops but I don't have the options to see a spell active list number like for example here how those symbols use 9805 to be recalled. Trying to make a thorns style build with my current setup with all the new flares armors, shield and gear that has come out

9805: Symbol of Courage - 1:19:46
9806: Symbol of Protection - 1:24:06
9816: Symbol of Supremacy - 1:18:32

Also having to cast it twice for 16 mana seems a lot for a taunt can't we just have like an evoke version of 1608 so BOC only cost 8 mana? Having to cast it twice for BOC to pop up seems like unnecessary casting RT also if you want the mana to be 16 that is fine i guess but casting it twice for that rt is dumb.

The problems you're describing are lich related, not game related.

It only requires one cast.

Either I am getting a bug or something is not right with the spell. If DOF (1608) Is not at max time I have to cast it 2 times for BOC to come up every time.

It definitely only requires 1 cast. If you're relying on lich to cast it that probably needs to be updated. I know someone made a script that uses the xml data that works perfectly.


As I gaze over the horizon, the wind tugs at my cloak and whispers, "Adventure" in my ear.

A squeaky halfling nearby asks, "Why you playing with orcs heads and troll rearends?!"

If using ;jinx, this should now be updated and tracked correctly for those using Lich. Requires updating infomon and spell-data.xml to work completely.

;repo download jinx
;jinx data update spell-list.xml --repo=core
;jinx script update infomon.lic --repo=core
