15k Stoneskin Gauntlets and Bloodstained Boots

{Yes, please}.

/signed

However, please make the boots actually DO something, and THEN give us 15k BSB!

I think the bloodstained boots shorten the cast time of skills that target corpses (Minion master friendly).

This is kind of a tradeoff of 10AL -AL vs holy and +15 AL vs piercing. You get the increased speed but less AL on your feet.

It only affects 5 second long casting on bodies...

Bloodstained Boot aren't broken per se, but the condition that activates them does not exist. They only work on corpse spells with casting times over 4 (maybe 5) seconds long.

And the punchline is: There are no corpse spells like that.

Hmmmm. I just had an idea guys.....

Take a MM Necro wearing BSB
Hex the necro with Arcane Conundrum or Migraine
Now try raising a minion.
Does it take 6 seconds or 5?

Aww, I thought my necro's well of blood and/or minion making was actually quickened.

I guess I was wrong.

Perhaps it happens occasionally???

wait wait wait, BSB is broke? I never wore any other boots so i wouldn't know... gah!

..and leutenants helm

What about Resurrect, Rebirth, etc? They do target corpses, right? Or do I just not remember the boots specifying enemy corpses?

~edit: I just checked. It just says, "corpses."

Now that's a good question.

Theres a slight difference in casting minions but the look of the boots going with other armor isn't even worth it. I also tried ressing someone with the boots, but I didn't notice a difference at all.

I'm not sure if bloodstained boots would speed up casting times of wells while under migraine/arcane conundrum, but it seems logical to assume that it would. Maybe someone wants to give this a try?
