try combineing this with echo or arcane echo( whichever is not elite i forget which) you can be immune to spells all the time that way

unienaule · Sep 20, 2005, 04:11 PM // 16:11

Wow, i just held off SoF for 7:40 singlehandedly with this skill and earthquake. Long live earth!

I really didn't understand what you said krismalo, you got it from somewhere other than perdition rock? Where exactly? What's the name of the boss?

Oryaka Drake · Oct 24, 2005, 01:44 AM // 01:44

Ya....typing in the laguage your typing correctly normally helps.. quite a bit!

Amused Observer · Oct 24, 2005, 02:29 AM // 02:29

The original question krismalo asked was why Ob Flesh is good. I couldn't make out what the rest of the post was commenting on. . >_>

But to answer that question, OF is a great self protection spell against all sorts of attacks---physical and magical. True you move slower but if the mob is not near you (i.e. snared), there's no harm in losing some movement ability. To me, not being targeted by enemy spells mean that you won't have to deal with hexes, spikes, health/energy drains, etc. It's a very nice protection spell against all sorts of pvp builds.

I would definitely consider using this as my elite if I'm running a W/E.

heist23 · Oct 24, 2005, 02:38 AM // 02:38

well, at 16 earth it only lasts for 21 seconds. if you're running a warrior, chances are you probably won't have 12 in earth magic...so i'm guessing it won't last more than 15-17 seconds.

unienaule · Oct 24, 2005, 07:01 AM // 07:01

The duration of Ob Flesh is:
0-8 seconds
1-9 seconds
2 and 3-10 seconds
4-11 seconds
5-12 seconds
6-13 seconds
7 and 8-14 seconds
9-15 seconds
10-16 seconds
11-17 seconds
12 and 13-18 seconds
14-19 seconds
15-20 seconds
16-21 seconds
17-22 seconds
18-23 seconds

So, anyone with even 10 earth could keep it up slightly over half the time. Earth eles with 20% wrapping get 25.2 second duration. This skill rocks. However, it does not cause spell *failure* like spellbreaker does.

heist23 · Nov 08, 2005, 07:26 AM // 07:26

then what does it do?

(wait a minute. yes it does. i tried to cast ...something on Harn Coldstone and all that came out was "This monster is protected by Obsidian Flesh." i think i should get a screenie...once i can get the time to hunt down Harn)

LightningHell · Nov 08, 2005, 09:42 AM // 09:42

Easy to get does not equate badness.

Like other people say, this is a Monk skill.

super dooper · Nov 08, 2005, 10:28 AM // 10:28

what unienaule means by 'spell failure', is that if you try to cast through Obsidian Flesh, it will just say that you can't do it or whatever. Spellbreaker on the other hand, if you try to cast through it, you will start casting the spell, but it will fail just like you cancelled out of it yourself, and you'll lose the energy.

don't understand it? well too bad I suck at explaining things :P

Obsidian Flesh is a very nice spell... when you combine it with serpents Quickness you can keep it up 24/7. You just need one of those +20% Enchantment Mods, a high earth attribute and serpents quickness.

. But thnx to these 3 hrs i memorized how to go all around, find all the bosses and safely cap all the skills i can.

just to mention something else:
you all know the area called mineral springs? il at bit north west from granite citadel.. well in this area there have been comming new monsters some titans (but just mutch harder to kill) go check it out. its actully posibel to farm those hardcore mobs.. ALONE only with obsidian flesh and armor of earth as protection!!! check it out they drop better than the old days smiters.

The atributes/skills i use to kill those mobs: (with E/ME)
