Questions about Charges and Charge Ups

Hey guys, I've got 2 questions.

1. I just found a Cranebeak War Spike (with level 8 raven charges on it) and when I summon a raven he stays around for a second or so, then disappears (or dies?). I'm in town so it's not like his hits are up-he just...goes away.

2. This question's much more important. On any charged upped character (TS on a sin, Maul on a druid, etc.), do you have to use a normal/finishing move to release the charges and get the damage on the character screen, or can you simply keep attacking with that charge up and (essentially) permanently keep your attack at the huge number?

Merci

You need to keep it equipped, even if you put it on swap the raven will die.



 
Re: Questions about Charges and Charge Ups

For Druids, you don't "release" the charge. It's more that you need to continuously hit targets in order for it to stay around.

Also, as you go up in levels, you need to land more hits in order for it to reach it's maximum charge. Even though the orb may be at its largest, it doesn't mean the skill is fully charged. For example, Maul starts at 3 hits to reach max damage, then adds a hit every two levels of Maul. I'm not sure exactly how Feral Rage works because I've never really used it, but I'd assume it is similar/the same.

I had the same problem with Ravens, but with a different item: Ravens spawned from my Heart of the Oak would disappear after a few seconds, while the Ravens from Nature's Peace stuck around.. HotO was my main weapon, so it's not like I was switching to anything else.
Anyone know what that's about?
 
Re: Questions about Charges and Charge Ups

Does the same thng happen with Oak Sage from your Hoto? If so, then you definetly switched weapons ( Battle Orders from CTA? ) cause I'm sure Oak Sage last for a long time unless it's killed.
 
Re: Questions about Charges and Charge Ups

Y'know, I was rolling my eyes at the OP, until I tried it. I use HOTO, but had never used the charges. The Oak Sage stays, the Ravens disappear. No, I am not unequipping the HOTO - about one second to two seconds after appearing, the raven disappears. My Oak Sage is still, as we speak, alive, but Ravens disappear.

Re: Questions about Charges and Charge Ups

To clarify, Timmy, it goes like this:
'Heart of the Oak' equipped, I cast Oak Sage. It lives, follows me around, floats about cutely, and only dies from damage/switching weapons.
I cast Raven.. They die. In about 1 seconds. In town. Without switching weapons.

Try it. I doubt it will be different for anyone else.

The Raven bug has been around since 1.10/1.11. It's just that not many people know about it because no one uses them Ravens.
