Concentration slot exploit : EverQuest 2 Nerfed Info

I can only confirm this for shaman class, specifically the buff "Foreboding"

In a group, shaman casts buff on tank. This buff takes 3 concentration slots. Group then evac's. Shaman's concentration slots are now open but buff is still on tank. Shaman now casts buff on another member. New member has buff, tank STILL has buff, and shaman is using the normal 3 concentration slots.

Can't confirm if this works with any other spell/class combo, but it works for this.

Hope to see premium access coming my way soon

Nice, one problem though. How can you be sure that the buff actually still works on the target player? I mean it may still SHOW you its still on him but the effect may have worn off.

Also, what does Foreboding do? What lvl does your sumoner need to be to use it?

I apologize for any information I left out, but I'm not a priest class. Here's the best I know:

Foreboding is a Defiler skill, attainable at level 30.6 apparently. The defiler in my group was 42.

As far as knowing if the spell lands or not, all I can say is the person who first had the spell cast on them still showed increased hitpoints AS WELL AS the second person who had the spell cast on them.

Said another way, the hitpoints of both players showed up as being buffed at the same time. Now...if you're asking if there's a difference between what the screen shows for HPs and what the game really knows...well...I can only think of one real way to test that and it involves dying so I cannot 100% confirm.

All I can confirm is what my post above says:

1: Defiler Casts Foreboding on GroupMate_01 (using 3 slots of concentration)
---GroupMate_01's hitpoints go up, and GroupMate_01 shows a buff icon on his screen

2: Evac

3: After evac, Defiler has empty concentration slots, GroupMate_01 still has buff icon AND still shows increased Hitpoints

4: Defiler casts Foreboding on GroupMate_02 (using 3 slots of concentration)
---GroupMate_02's Hitpoints go up and GroupMate_02 shows a buff icon on his screen
---GroupMate_01's Hitpoints stay the same (as before WITH the buff) and still shows a buff icon on screen

Does it work with all classes? I Do not know

Does it work with all concentration type buffs? I do not know

Does it *really* keep the buff on all members or is it just a graphical bug that *looks* like the hitpoints are raised? I do not know.

I'm a scout class with exactly 0 targetable buffs and only 2 group buffs, and 1 of them does not even use concentration (pathfinding), so, your mileage may vary.

Ah, 1 other thing I do know...at least, this is what was discussed in the group i was in...

I *think* Foreboding shows up as one of those 12hour buffs, right? Well, regardless of the duration...after you evac and cast the buff on the 2nd player, the first player's buff timer resets also, so it does really seem like it's landing on both players.

I tried this with some guild mates, it still works on test, enjoy it for a few days on live servers.

Good job trogdormajesty, you've been accepted and should be a premium member very soon (It may take a little while to get ahlod of Admin).

any word on access yet? I just tried, no luck yet.

Sorry, Admin has been busy. It should be done within the next few hours.
